Vortex Wars

I am guessing this is more of an update than a bug, but I figured I would report it anyway. Just played a 2 person full map game on a large map. Probably took over around 150 of his territories before I won.. I got 50 shards and 150 experience(75 before premium upgrade).

I am guessing it was simply caped but I figured I would report it regardless. If so can you tell us what the caps are? Obviously playing 2 person games is no longer worth it if it takes over an hour to win and only gain 50 shards.

Thanks either way.

8 players is also capped based on my previous game.

(60+40)*2 = 200xp
60 shards.

200 XP and 60 shards cap for an 8 player game? That's terrible

its not caped

It isn't capped. I don't think you understand how shards are rewarded. Everytime you take an enemy territory you are rewarded 1 XP and 1 shard. If you take an enemy territory with less units than your opponent then you are rewarded 1 extra XP point. For example if you attack a 6 with a 5 you are rewarded with 2 XP and 1 shard, but if you attack a 6 with a 7 you get 1 XP and 1 shard. Therefore you will always get more XP than shards, never vice versa. Performance XP (XP rewarded when you get a certain place) is capped at 40 with 5 XP per player in the game. Performance XP does not earn you shards. Nor does the premium bonus multiplier. As proof, in my last couple of games, I was rewarded 80 shards playing a 6 player game.

I'm not going to deny that I was wrong, but I was not taking anyone for a dumbass or despising them. I would consider saying that just as or more incorrect than my post.

I capped both shards and xp, because it was getting ridiculous for large maps. I should have done that long time ago.

Actually, I am well aware. I am level 28 and am well versed in the game. If you actually read my post properly you would have noticed that I said I took over 150 of his territories. Same for the others who commented.

Anyway, Lopdo can you please tell us how things have been capped? Because right now it wont be worth playing anything larger than a map with 50 tiles if things are capped so low. I love your game, but one of the things that makes it so fun is that you can see your progress move forward steadily. It's why I spent $10 during your half off sale to purchase lifetime premium. Under the present limits though, things will go to a stand still. I couldn't imagine gathering 4000 shards at 50 shards a game. That would be 80 games. With each averaging about 40 minutes (and that's being somewhat fair), that would be 53 hours of game play for 1 upgrade.

Even at 80 shards as the person in my above post mentioned(which given that he had 6 players, would make sense for it to be more), it would take about 33 hours. Just some food for though.

Shards prices were set when I thought that average game gives you 50-80 shards so right now, it is as it was planned. The situation where you could get hundreds shards for game and get all stuff in a day was never intended

I lol'd so much when some people (rat, adude, kinda vyor) just rush almost despising others and taking them for dumbass...

Best one: /thanks adude and vyor as well
