What do you mean by swap ipv6?

Just changing the parameter that enables ipv6 or not.

 

[tugamix666]

Should work with ipv6 as well, please check.

Challenge now loads for me with IPv6 on.

Games and a few extra cents? Yay!! Thanks Inidegala!

 

[andrew smith]

Just received American Conquest series and Cossacks series together with one key. Total 7 games with DLCs. Thank you, Indiegala!

That is a LOT of game.

 

[test]

That's possible, I did it just now. My order of challenges:
Trees (0s malus) won, grass mowing (4s malus) won, stones (8s malus) lost, beans (8s malus) won, archers (12s malus) won, sicklings (16s malus) lost, hoeing (16s malus) won.

Stones at 8s malus could be winnable with good spawns, got close a few times but never managed to. Archers can be hard at 12s malus if they spawn terribly or manage to hit you often. Hoeing can be won with 20s malus if you get a lucky field (enough 1-click squares, close to each other) and don't misclick.

I'm saying, you must have the game running notably faster for you somehow or something.

Please give us frame rate indicator!

You have noticed that you don't need to wait for animation end before clicking mouse button again?

 

[andrew smith]

I wonder if there's a daily cap to the rewards. Any word about that?

well there's the dynamic difficulty now, so some of it may be due to that

 

[GrayFolkloreWhispers]

Challenges seemed to run smoother today without as much lag. Was able to pick up four keys.

The indiegala credit certainly is an incentive to play. Thank you again!

Here's my run right after reset. As I mentioned before, some comments make me wonder if people play it right or the game just runs like garbage for them, so let's compare our experiences:

Hi, @freakill. Nice run. This is how I played today:
1. Chopping 8/8.
2. Sickling 68/60.
3. Mining 13/14.
4. Watering 18/16.
5. Fighting 9/9.
6. Picking 32/40.
7. Hoeing 61/60.
The links are for 2 months.

Nice job on mining and especially archers with 16 malus, you could probably have won hoeing too if the game registered those hits better.
I do sickling differently, I start by going left then down for 2 sets of grass and right, unless the right side has more 1-hit grass, then I switch sides.

And that is how fast it runs for me too.

Thanks, all of those are faster then how mine work, even the dang sapling picking is faster, and obviously there is zero skill in how long it takes to pick one. I do notice with like say mining or wood cutting, it's especially slow when I first start out, especially if it's my first game in awhile, like real slow. I noticed in your videos there was no initial extra slowness.

The ones that I especially noted is that your plant watering, all parts of it is much faster than for me. You turn much faster, and more importantly the plants grow much faster for you. Which explains why I am never anywhere close to victory with plant watering.

I notice with archer killing, most of the time you were able to hit them three times before they could fire. With me, unless maybe I was standing right where they spawn and attack immediately there is no way I can kill them before they fire at least once, so I got to hit them, run a bit at a angle to avoid their shots and then go in attack again. If I try to hit them three times with a sword in a row standing still, they are virtually guarenteed to shoot me at least once in the process, costing me shock time and health.

The tree cutting was much faster, even setting aside you not struggling to target trees like I do.

Maybe some of my targeting troubles have to do with lag, maybe if the lag comes and goes and my speed is varying, that's messing with my ability to target things.

Maybe I need to try other browsers than Firefox and Opera. I'll try it in chrome I guess. Does this game have it's own client?

How did you record those videos?

What browsers are people using? What browser was used in those videos?

 

[BlueKidnapOverpower]

I got "locked by suspicius activity" and i lost 2 in a row so i guess system do not like losers xD (usualy after a while and reloading it let me but not for now ). Also if bots are a problem, could a captcha be useful? Just an idea .

 

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Seems the game thankfully remained relatively the same compared to my post in this thread in 2019 Official Feudalife CHALLENGE feedback Thread albeit with some fixes.

I can win about 4-5 steam keys per day, here's a run of mine winning 5 out of 7, winning the 7th challenge, the hoeing one, with total 44 seconds:

Valley (no sound though)

Some challenges have RNG in terms of placements. The 2# challenge the George W. Bush one, some bushes don't have flowers and require only 1 click instead of 2 to sickle them, and depending on RNG, they can vary in number. The brown rocks sometimes are placed in a better row or column and have an easier time chain mining them and save time. Likewise with the trees, you save time if you don't move too much towards the smaller ones if they are clumped together.

If your RNG layout is not great you can reload and not lose points before the 3 second countdown starts. That way you can slightly overview the surrounding and see if the layout is good. In the video above, i reloaded a couple of times on the hoe challenge to get a good layout. The (#2)Bush Sickling, (#4) Berry Growing and (#7) Hoeing challenges are so far the ones i completed with 16 seconds Malus, giving me only 44 seconds total. The rest are a bit too tight on time to be possible for the 5th win and above (maybe the archers if you get lucky spawns).

Thanks! That's a solid run you got there too.

And that is how fast it runs for me too.

Thanks! Those were probably my luckiest archers in quite a while - usually I get hit more often on my third swing and getting the ninth archer from the same gate as the eighth does not happen often.

I do notice with like say mining or wood cutting, it's especially slow when I first start out, especially if it's my first game in awhile, like real slow. I noticed in your videos there was no initial extra slowness.

Oh that's a weird one, I don't believe I've even seen anyone mention the game consistently starting slow and speeding up as the challenge goes on.

I notice with archer killing, most of the time you were able to hit them three times before they could fire

Bear in my mind, that run was uncharacteristically lucky for me - most of the time I can't stun-lock the archers that consistently. So even with the challenge running properly I don't beat the archers very often.

maybe if the lag comes and goes and my speed is varying, that's messing with my ability to target things.

I'd say definitely - if your framerate is not consistent and goes up and down instead, targeting during hoeing challenge can be downright miserable.

Does this game have it's own client?

If it does it's very well hidden
But jokes aside, no we can only play through browser.

How did you record those videos?

I use ZD Soft Screen Recorder. I believe you can use OBS to do screen capture, but I never had the time or energy to sit down and figure out that program.

What browsers are people using? What browser was used in those videos?

Firefox.
I used to play in Chrome because framerate felt slightly more stable in it, but several months ago it started to work very noticeably worse for some reason. I tested it on other computers and it worked fine, but on my PC it's not very playable in Chrome.

I use Brave, and I tried Firefox a couple days back and while the game itself was at the same speed, the menu pop up when you click on "Challenge" that tells you how much malus you have and how many keys you won, that was slower, I could see my mouse cursor moving sluggishly, but thats really nothing considering it doesn't affect gameplay.

Edit: Just tried Opera, and it worked same as Brave, other then the accidental "mouse shortcut" which made me go back a page while on the sickling challenge. Didn't have menu slowdown.

Oh man, "losing" archers after getting 3sec malus removal...
But you got a great map for the mining challenge, I haven't seen so many brown rocks in a while, its mostly grey rocks for me.

 

[GrayFolkloreWhispers]

I've never had this before. Only 6 archers came on the screen in the 48 seconds I had. Must be the new dynamic difficulty.

Yeah, I always get the same slowdown in the menu since the December updates.

You can tell the exact amount of frustration felt at the moment from the way the pointer moves. Been there many times myself.

I don't think such generous maps are possible at the moment. That video must have been captured on the 12th or 13th when they first turned on the GalaCredits, but before they added the dynamic difficulty back into the mix. You can see in the video that the version of the game is 11/01/2021 and not the 14/01/2021 we currently have, also the GalaCredits icon is different now. Unless they rolled back to previous version at some point and AFFIRMATIVE got to play that.

So slow? This is gonna suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

 

[andrew smith]

So I've been trying to deliberately fall one target short of goals for my first two cycles through (maximizing rewards, much harder to do after winning with all the stacked maluses). It's weirdly difficult to stop yourself from winning one.
