Official Feudalife CHALLENGE feedback Thread

[test]

Maximum time I always wait is 10 seconds, then reload the page. Sometimes I reload and get "fetching user data" again, so just rinse and repeat, usually works after 2 or 3 times, at least for me. But the servers seem unstable since yesterday, so might take more tries today

I tried over 20 or 30 or more times with no success. I used chromium like recommended.

How is this suppose to work when it works anyway. Like it says something about paying 10 silvers, how does one do that? How do I know what I need to do to fulfill the challenge? I need to do this thing the moment the game loads?

It takes 10 GalaSilver(GS) automatically when you hit the "Challenge" button. You can check how much GS you have by hovering over your name on the main Indiegala page.
Check the RULES thread to know what you need to do on each of the challenges, maybe play the main game to get used to the controls too and get familiar with the game.

maybe the servers are overloaded again, it worked fine this afternoon (I'm in eastern Europe, so like 8 hours ago maybe).
You get silver generated in your account automatically - if you hover over your username on the main site, you'll see how many GalaSilvers you have at the moment, they are free and they recharge every everyhour, 240 Silver maximum per day as far as I know. So when the challenges load, you click on Challenge and the 10 Silver is automatically deduced from your account (it will regenerate later, for free).
Once the challenge loads, there are 7 tasks and you'll be told which one it is, see here which 7 challenges exist Feudalife Challenges: RULES.
Don't be surprised that you're really bad at this, the first couple tries are frustrating and the challenges are really hard until you figure out what to do and how to do it.
You NEED A MOUSE! that touchpad thing on laptops is useless for the challenges, get a mouse. If you browse this thread (that is the "Challenge feedback thread") you'll find some tips on how to approach the challenges. Start at page 3 of this thread and continue for mayber 4 more pages, you'll get a lot of useful tips there. Good luck

Yeah, I played it. How exactly is it not working? The challenges were not live around the time of your post by the way.

Well how about now? It's still only saying "fetching user data"

 

[Sotto Voce]

Works fine for me (latest chrome incognito mode, win 10 ver 2004)

 

[cheerie132]

Up in the left corner in your browser while it says "fetching user data" - next to the address bar there is a little crossed lock and when you click on it there are options something like "allow video and sound to play" or something like that. Make sure you have "allow" selected, I remember it used to cause issues for me (if you're using Firefox). If you're not using Firefox, try it (I know Chrome is recommended but Chrome acts weirdly sometimes for me). Make sure you have JavaScript allowed as well as Flash (I have it disabled and it works, but someone was saying here that when they disable Flash it doesn't work)

 

[GrayFolkloreWhispers]

This morning I received the message "Giveaway locked due to suspicious activity" on the first challenge I tried. I went right back and tried again, and I haven't had any other issues.

 

[FreaKill]

Also, we're all asking about the 1s bonus for positive feedback, but has someone tried buying a bundle or a game and see if the bonus still apply here too ?

Can confirm that getting bonus for buying a game works.

I did in Firefox as you said, still didn't work. Chrome has flash set to ask if I want to enable, that and disabled are my only options.

I got it working in Opera. But I'd like to get it working in other browsers.

I read pages 2-4 of this thread. I'm still really struggling with the challenges, over and over until I ran out of tries with zero wins.

Hoeing challenge. Really hard to aim. Like super annoying. I find it quicker to just do the extra clicks where there is extra stuff to hoe through than trying to line things up. And then of course if its lined up where I've already hoed, then I got to find a new spot, wasting more time. I find this one of the hardest challenges because of this aiming issue. Any tips?

Trees. I see some of the trees are smaller, but they blend in with the bigger trees, how do I tell the small trees from the large trees and quickly line up with them to chop them?

Archers, I typically run out of HP, tips for dodging the arrows without losing too much time?

Some challenges use left click and some use right click, any trick to quickly know which I need without memorizing? Yes, it tells you which to do, but not right away and precious seconds are wasted figuring out which to do. Maybe I could get a list of the challenges as to which are left click and which are right click?

Any additional tips with the other challenges too?

You get a free game with each challenge you win? If someone were to win 24 challenges in a day, they'd get 24 different games? What games does one typically get from it? Is there a chance of getting repeat keys of games you already got?

 

[cheerie132]

I'm still really struggling with the challenges, over and over until I ran out of tries with zero wins.

Yes, expect that to happen again tomorrow and then maybe 3 more days. I sucked so much at this thing when I was new. The easiest challenge when you are new is picking the samplings (40 saplings in 60 seconds is doable)
PRO TIP: before you enter the challenge, when the "instructions" are displayed - observe the map you're given (execept for the berry watering and the sickling grass, every other minigame has a unique layout everytime - sometimes the layout is better, sometimes worse). Plan what you're gonna do before you close that instructions window - for example the samplings challenge the light ones are good and dark ones are bad - you want to avoid the black ones or leave them until last because they take more time to collect. So observe the map to know wheter there are for example more light brown samplings on the left, right, top, botton and so on. PLAN BEFORE YOU START!

Berry watering challenge. Seems there is a delay before it grows, how many waterings are necessary to get berrys so I don't over water? Some aiming issues too.

Every berry takes 4 waterings to grow fully - DON'T KEEP WATERING THE SAME ONE! I use the left-right strategy: pick any berry closest to you and water it, then turn right or left to water the one next to it. Then turn back to the original berry and water it. Then to the berry on the left or right. Repeat until both berries are watered 4 times and move downwards. Repeat process.

Hoeing challenge. Really hard to aim. Like super annoying. I find it quicker to just do the extra clicks where there is extra stuff to hoe through than trying to line things up. And then of course if its lined up where I've already hoed, then I got to find a new spot, wasting more time. I find this one of the hardest challenges because of this aiming issue. Any tips?

Once you figure out how the aiming mechanism works (and it takes weeks), this is by far the easiest challenge of them all. The tip is: until you get used to the mechanism, always hoe the whole ROW and then the row below and then the row below... go all the way from left to right, the the next row right to left and so on until you figure it out. ALWAYS avoid the very dark green ones, they take 3 strikes to complete. I personally skip all the light green ones as well, but you can try to just complete the whole row, green ones included and see if it's comfortable (light green squares take 2 strikes to complete, that's why I skip them). As always, observe the map before you start! Sometimes the first row has only green tiles and would take too long to complete -> skip it entirely and start with the second row. But observe first, which rows can be skipped!

Trees. I see some of the trees are smaller, but they blend in with the bigger trees, how do I tell the small trees from the large trees and quickly line up with them to chop them?

Stick to smaller trees yes, and the best thing to do is OBSERVE before the challenge starts as much of the map as is visible and plan your path! For example I know that I'm gonna go 2 trees down, 4 trees to the right, then 2 trees up just by observing the map. Once you're between the trees it's hard to see which one is small and big, so try to memorise before you start what the map looks like.

Archers, I typically run out of HP, tips for dodging the arrows without losing too much time?

Don't get very close, just close enought to hit them with the sword, not face to face. I like to stand tiny little bit diagonally when facing an archer - just a little bit up or down from his position. Smash the right-mouse button fast, don't let him fire. Max takes 3 times to take him out, only 2 if you get lucky. Also after you kill an archer try to return to the center of the map to minimise movement time - this way regardless of where the next archer spawn, you're just as close to all spawn points.

Some challenges use left click and some use right click, any trick to quickly know which I need without memorizing? Yes, it tells you which to do, but not right away and precious seconds are wasted figuring out which to do. Maybe I could get a list of the challenges as to which are left click and which are right click?

Only the sapling picking uses LEFT, everything else uses RIGHT

You get a free game with each challenge you win? If someone were to win 24 challenges in a day, they'd get 24 different games? What games does one typically get from it? Is there a chance of getting repeat keys of games you already got?

You get a key everytime. Sometimes it's a DLC though, I like to create giveaways for those. Sometimes you get a non-working key (duplicate - Feudalife challenge duplicate keys MASTERPOST), don't get spooked if that happens. Sometimes the games are good (see here Best games you've won) and sometimes they are just silly little games that cost USD 1,99. But yes, I have won some nice games here. Nobody can win 24 challenges in a day, guaranteed - after you win, you get a time penalty - you must complete the same task as before but with less time. Max I ever won in a day was 6. Yes, repeat keys can happen - give those away. If you get a DLC, look here for a guide on how to figure out what the DLC is for so you can give it away and get XP for it Giveaway issue (DLC)

So if you water the same berry plant 4 times in a row, it won't work, need to wait for it to grow before you can water it again?
I did try that left right strategy having read it in the earlier pages, but I still failed. Could it be that my movement is lagging? How would I know if that were the case?

Any recommended activity in the regular game for learning the targeting system? Does the mouse matter for targeting?

With the trees, not only can it be hard to tell the smaller from the larger ones, since I can't easy tell one tree from another or even see my character, just aiming at trees is difficult. My first time I spent a fair amount of time swinging at nothing not realizing I wasn't hitting any tree despite being in the middle of them. Should I run to the side so I can see myself better and more easily target things?

So you want to smash the right button for archers? But with other things they talk about getting a rythm and not doing it too fast. Any tips for how to cut/water etc at just the right speed? Any of the other challenges call for smashing the action button?

So if you water the same berry plant 4 times in a row, it won't work, need to wait for it to grow before you can water it again?

The trick is water one plant once, turn to the other and water that one once then turn back and repeat that until its grown.

Spoiler: And I have a sneaky suspicion that those are BEANS not berries.

Any recommended activity in the regular game for learning the targeting system? Does the mouse matter for targeting?

The mouse does not matter for targeting, the way your character is facing is the way you'll swing your tool, whatever you are currently targeting will "light up" to show you that it is indeed targeted, unless you are on the Hoeing challenge, in that one a square shows on the floor where you're looking.

With the trees, not only can it be hard to tell the smaller from the larger ones, since I can't easy tell one tree from another or even see my character, just aiming at trees is difficult. My first time I spent a fair amount of time swinging at nothing not realizing I wasn't hitting any tree despite being in the middle of them. Should I run to the side so I can see myself better and more easily target things?

The trees get some transparency when you get behind them and you should be able to see your character very easily. Try looking for the small ones BEFORE you start the challenge because when you get behind them it is kinda hard to tell where the small ones are, small trees take 15 hits and big trees take 20.

I did try that left right strategy having read it in the earlier pages, but I still failed. Could it be that my movement is lagging? How would I know if that were the case?

If you watch the plant, it kinda "wiggles" or "shakes" while it's growing - once it has stopped, you can water it again. While you're aiming the watering can, watch for a sort of highlight - if the plant gets highlighted (sort of lighter green color I guess), you're aiming correctly. If you get your timing just right, the time it takes for the plant to grow after you water it should be just the same amount of time it takes for you to turn around and water the other plant. This challenge is one of the harder ones if you're just starting out, don't expect good results too fast on this one. The most likely cause of your failure is probably aiming? Watch that highlight!

The easiest challenges for beginners are (according to me): sampling picking and rock mining, everything else takes time to learn. (I still absolutely and hugely suck at tree-chopping and grass-sickling, but in my humble opinion everyone sucks at grass-sickling, just look here and see it's the least favourite challenge of all What are your favorite challenges?)

Does the mouse matter for targeting?

Do you mean the mouse cursor position? No, absolutely irrelevant; for sickling, watering, mining, sapling picking and trees watch the HIGHLIGHT (the highlighted object is the one selected) and for hoeing challange - well here watch the targeting SQUARE (sometimes still incorectly aligned)

With the trees, not only can it be hard to tell the smaller from the larger ones, since I can't easy tell one tree from another or even see my character, just aiming at trees is difficult. My first time I spent a fair amount of time swinging at nothing not realizing I wasn't hitting any tree despite being in the middle of them. Should I run to the side so I can see myself better and more easily target things?

Definitely don't run to the side, you'll lose too much time and this challange is not very forgiving on time. Again, your tree must be HIGHLIGHTED. If none of the trees are highlighted, you're standing exatly in between them, so move left or right to correct your position. Also if you can't see your character, you're probably not aiming at anything - if a tree is highlighted you should also see your character on the screen, at least I think so.

So you want to smash the right button for archers? But with other things they talk about getting a rythm and not doing it too fast. Any tips for how to cut/water etc at just the right speed? Any of the other challenges call for smashing the action button?

Only archers require "smashing" to my knowledge. Everything else needs a rythm. After a couple of days, you'll get slightly better at the whole rythm thing, but it won't be right away

 

[test]

Can you give me any information about the rhythm of various challenges?

 

[Zoliv]

Can you give me any information about the rhythm of various challenges?

They all come in exactly the same order, so at a point you'll have challenges that you can do with bigger malus, so you'll want to make them at the end. Here is my rotation : Chopping => Sickling => Mining => Watering => Killing => Picking => Hoeing.

With that, i can nearly everytime get 4 on 5, then sacrifice picking, and finish with Hoeing that can be done with the biggest malus.

Edit : oh you didn't mean rythm of appearance, but rythm in doing the challenges themselves ?

 

[test]

I mean the rythm of chopping the tree or hiting the rock with mining etc. You're suppose to do it at a specific rate for fastest result, but what is that rate? Like when ax gets to x point I trigger it again and so on.

 

[FreaKill]

Can you give me any information about the rhythm of various challenges?

It's a bit tough to say, but from trying to squeeze the best time possible out of the tree chopping challenge, I'd say my best rhythm there is around 2.5-3 hits per second. Try playing the main game and get used to how long the various tool animations last. For some people it's easier to watch for the exact frame when to click in order to get the next hit immediately, without the character idling, for others it's better to go by the sound of the swing.

if a tree is highlighted you should also see your character on the screen, at least I think so.

The highlighted trees don't become semi-transparent, only the not-targeted nearby trees do, that can make it a bit harder to chop a tree from above, since I can't see the animation and unless I position myself a bit to the side, I have rely entirely on sound to know when to hit again.

Like when ax gets to x point I trigger it again and so on.

That's even trickier to answer because different buttons take different time to operate, so the timing of when you need to move your finger will be ever so slightly different if you try to play on another mouse.
