RIP Market Crafting

A question I have:

If you spent AP on an infrequently used AP Upgrade that now has it's cost reduced, do you get that AP back? Or do you need to reset AP? Or is it lost forever?

Asking for a friend...

Answer: If you reset your AP, you get the AP you spent back, not the new cost.

Recipe Visibility still does not show what Recipe you will get.

You dont get refunds ever, unless you lost AP due to a bug (i had that once, but Fizzer gave me some free AP, which was very kind of him).

– Idle: Coins can now be used to immediately finish a dig or to immediately refresh a cooling down artifact.

WZI just become a lot more P2W, holy s**t!! :(
I hope this will at least be disabled during battles...

---

– Idle: The ad-watch bonus now has options for ore production, smelter speed, or crafter speed increases.

Can you watch 1 ad to get all the boosts, each boost has its own ad, or you get 1 ad and need to pick which to boost?

---

– Idle: The level list now is a winding path instead of a vertical list.
Ugh, stop making things complicated for the sake of looking fancy, gimme back my list....

---

– Idle: The game now keeps track of your fastest time-to-completion of each level and shows you these numbers on the Level Stats dialog.
– Idle: Recipe stats now shows how many of the item you currently have.
– Idle: Army stats now breaks out drafted armies and shows you how many of them came from each portion of the drafting system’s internal calculation.

Looks like some of the requested stats have finally been added!!

---

– Idle: Adjusted tech values. The later techs were made much more powerful.

Maybe they will now be worth it for other reasons than getting the Get all Techs advancments,

---

– Idle: Modifiers that increase the speed of smelters/crafters no longer need to be equipped for the entire duration of the smelt/craft. They now speed it up while equipped and it reverts to the normal speed when unequipped.

My epic Crafter Speed is useful again! 🎉🥳

– Classic: When a patterened color is used, like Blue Diagonals, the orders panel in the top right now shows this pattern.
– Classic: Updated the built-in Small Earth template to match the popular Quickmatch settings.
– Classic: Removed the “Featured Maps” category when browsing maps, since it hadn’t been updated in over ten years.
– Classic: Maximum boot time for real-time games is now 15 minutes.

Amazing that premium colors now will properly work. I wonder if it also changed the color name in the API now?

---

– Unity: Added url support for map of the weeks, map previews, and forum links with offsets.
Does this mean we can finally open forums on the last page in the app when opening them from global chat?!?

---

– Idle: Changed the way ascension works. Instead of requiring you to defeat every level, you now only have to defeat the last level in order to qualify for ascension. This gives skip level powers and advancements more of a purpose. Ascending also now costs 100 AP.

This flipping sucks, I'm already lacking AP 😡

Warzone Wheel Payouts Increased

Nice, happy spinning everyone! Time to get LTM for Bob and X!

Market-Profitability crafting just took a nose dive.

me so sad

Mortars is probably not going to change anything, since the algorithm will just increase the value on neighboring terr to compensate for the mortar.

Hardened levels sound like a pain, I hope they are not required for levels and other stuff....

Would there be a tax on Clan Gifting, or can we just send armies back and forth?
And how much can you request? Is that in relation or can I just send 5B armies to a player that just started out so he can finish his level in a few seconds?

Level speed bonuses are all for selling more powers I'm afraid...
Luckily they will come naturally over time with enough ascensions.

I'm glad I have had too much of a market-buy based strategy, but this update sucks for those who do.

Hardened levels sound great. What are you talking about? They give a boatload of AP and a special bonus that we don’t know yet.

They give a boatload of AP and a special bonus that we don’t know yet.

I'm afraid this is just marketing from Fizzer, and that just like the challenges they require so much investment to complete they will not be worth it.

I hope to be proven wrong on that...

How do you gift clanmates? And can you gift powers? I will get ML(idk what it is), and i would like to gift it to shin(will get it from coin leaderboard)

You can only gift money and/or armies

Edited 8/9/2021 15:07:20

Anyone know how steeply the market prices increase? And does selling reduce in price as well as buying increase in price?

And does selling reduce in price as well as buying increase in price?

I considered asking this question, but i decided not to to avoid giving Fizzer any terrible ideas....

LOL JK ... but frighteningly also true-ish!

– Idle: A few infrequently purchased advancements have had their unlock cost reduced slightly.

Anyone know which Advancements were modified? I did an eyeball check and saw nothing noticeably different. The ones I've already maxed out obviously I have no visibility to as it just shows "(Maxed)".

Edited 8/9/2021 15:32:50

The android app seems to crash for me.

Need a clan member leaderboard of who has donated the most.

Are there any restrictions on the frequency of giftings?

If not, then the clan gifting feature could be abused. Let one player stay on Europe Huge with maxed army camps, mines, crafters. This player can fulfill the requests of an entire clan.

Moved to first post.

Man, I had just started the last level of my third playthrough an hour before this dropped. Probably going to drop it since I don't need it to ascend anymore (I always do Triskelion last). Just need to decide if I'm going to hit hardened levels now or wait until after ascending so I get ore bonuses and some more AP first...

Looks like all the ore bonuses will be easy to hit for anyone on their second playthrough, which is nice.

And the names of the maps are gone!!! On the landing page you can't distinguish the levels by name only be picture. Okay, I just saw, clicking them reveals the names, how inconvenient. The single-player campaign shows the map names on mouse-hover, that's not perfect but definitely better.
Then, the current played level isn't highlighted: finished levels are yellow, hardened are red, everything else (including the active level) is gray. But no "this is the active level" marker (anymore). And levels that are locked (not unlocked by skip level) aren'T even clickable.

And, have you noticed that the "beta" is gone? Apparently, this is meant to be the first regular version of the idle mode.
