Fun little arena game - Page 2

CU Tiger · 04-12-2009, 07:10 PM

seems to be totally random////

3ric · 04-13-2009, 03:09 AM

Up to level 5, 15 wins recorded.

wade moore · 04-13-2009, 10:32 AM

JonInMiddleGA · 04-16-2009, 08:53 AM

So how come every other player of equal level I fight seems to have at least 3 or 4 different weapons to choose from while I still have only 2 (counting the worthless net as a "weapon")?

I've won one fight in three days.

I've fought the lowest health points available, I've fought the highest health points available. I've tried opponents with less speed, less strength, less agility, nothing I do seems to matter since I've got only that large animal bone to work with while my opponents seem to have stopped off at Weapons 'R Us before the fight. I literally just watched a guy with half my health and no skill higher than any of mine win a fight where I only got 2 attacks in the entire battle while he got five consecutive attacks in just one trip with a knife that does as much damage as my weapon.

I think this one is ready for file 13 for me, all I'm providing are easy wins for my opponents.

dbd1963 · 04-16-2009, 08:54 AM

I can't answer your questions, but it was questions like those that stopped me playing the game.

Rich1033 · 04-16-2009, 09:01 AM

Weapons just seem random. If it helps I have a lvl 3 and a lvl 4, both only have one weapon.

Sucks. I just went up against a lvl 4 who pulled out that huge mallet that did 40 damage, a knife, and a smaller knife. All while my lvl 4 just has a dog and a stick. Im more equipped to play fetch than win a fight.

lordscarlet · 04-16-2009, 09:34 AM

This, really, is an incredibly terrible game. They have somehow roped me in because I feel like I've committed time to it, but... This game sucks.

And having weapons doesn't mean anything. Half of the time my guy just keeps slapping his opponent while he has a club and more waiting for him to use.

rjolley · 04-16-2009, 10:02 AM

The game sucks, but I find myself logging in an setting up fights, usually between my own stable of characters.

Yesterday, I did fight a guy with a whip. I think I go close to him 3 times. All the other times, he repelled me with the whip. And I can't stand the damn throwing stars. If your brute can't dodge them, you're 30 hit points down off one attack.

MikeVic · 04-16-2009, 10:58 AM

Yeah this game isn't great but I log in still since it takes like a minute of my time. But the randomness is very annoying. Seems like the crappier of my two characters just got that club thing when he hit level 5, so maybe he'll decide to use it in tomorrow's fights. Then again, maybe he won't use it. Who knows.

MikeVic · 04-16-2009, 10:58 AM

Oh yeah I fought a guy with TWO pets. What the hell.

edit: And the stats annoy me a lot. One of my guys has 12 speed, and when I fight someone with 2 or 3 speed... you'd think I would just attack constantly and dodge all his attacks, no? Apparently not.

FrogMan · 04-16-2009, 11:58 AM

yeah, gave up because of the lack of control and the randomness of it all. Lots more fun with Katsuro and Gladiatus.

spleen1015 · 04-22-2009, 11:57 AM

You guys can't give up! I just found this little game today!

Ishayu My Brute

MikeVic · 04-22-2009, 12:01 PM

I still play, but it's still frickin' random. I think the flail is even cheaper than the big club thing now. A hit from the flail took off about 40HP.

Flasch186 · 04-22-2009, 12:02 PM

over it

wade moore · 04-22-2009, 12:20 PM

I don't really understand why, but I'm still really enjoying this game - and that's with just one character.

Swaggs · 04-22-2009, 12:41 PM

I'm still playing, too.

I have a couple of lvl 6 guys. It is random, but still kind of fun.

Toddzilla · 04-22-2009, 12:51 PM

One of my characters just got a frickin BEAR. That's seriously cool, so I'm gonna play for a while.

See if you can find a character named Stephen Colbert to fight!

rjolley · 04-22-2009, 01:34 PM

I still play, though I don't really know why. It frustrating watching my guy not use a weapon while he's getting beat by a stick or to see him throw away the club for a knife after one attempt, but it's still fun.

MikeVic · 04-22-2009, 01:38 PM

I try to justify the weapon throw-away as the weapon not being useful anymore. So maybe after one attempt, the club breaks... but the animations can't show that.

rjolley · 04-22-2009, 01:46 PM

Ya know, that helps somewhat...

I'll buy that for a dollar.

Swaggs · 04-22-2009, 02:02 PM

Things seem to somewhat balance out after you get a few levels. I have a character that steals weapons and another one that breaks them when he hits.

Still, bottom line is that it is pretty random.

WheelsVT · 04-22-2009, 02:57 PM

I got destroyed by a guy with a bear. Scary.
However, my character now has a "cry of the damned" ability that scares off all creatures my opponent has... if he chooses to use it.

The randomness is annoying yet adds excitement that on any given day you could win... or lose big time, but I'm still playing it for now.

rjolley · 04-22-2009, 10:12 PM

Has anyone tried the other games advertised on the site?

lordscarlet · 04-23-2009, 08:57 AM

I'm tyring out Dino RPG. It's fine. about 2 turns a day and no interaction with other players as of yet.

I played Dino RPG for a little while, will probably go back to it, simply forgot about it for the last few days. It's kind cool, very slow paced.

From Twin Motion, I like Alpha Bounce, a sort of adventure style arkanoid clone, and Kado Kado, a cute collection of flash games where you earn points that could eventually be transferred to amazon gift cards. I like their puzzle games, you get 4 news gems to use every day, makes for a couple minutes of quick fun.

FrogMan · 04-23-2009, 12:11 PM

dola, I also played a bit of Hammerfest, a little vertical scroller type game, where once again you get one play per day. Kinda fun too, more arcadish though...

FM

MikeVic · 05-08-2009, 10:47 AM

One of my characters got the net as their last upgrade... and they actually used it effectively in a fight today. It was thrown on the other dude's pet, and that pet didn't attack me all fight!

wade moore · 05-08-2009, 11:20 AM

Yeah - that's really the only useful purpose for the net.

I'm still enjoying this game, although I also still don't understand why.

Toddzilla · 05-08-2009, 11:24 AM

I've gotten to the point where I schedule tournaments between my many brutes. I track results and progress via spreadsheet.

Yes, I know...

MikeVic · 05-08-2009, 11:25 AM

Yeah I still play... I think because it takes almost no time, and I really don't know what to expect out of any fight. I don't really know, but it still has me.

Good idea! Although I only have two myself right now.

Toddzilla · 05-08-2009, 11:29 AM

I read that getting pupils really help your characters advance, as you get experinece whenever a pupil levels up.

However, you cannot create your own pupil, nor can you fight as your pupil, since the server tracks IP addresses and will not award experience if the pupil and master are from the same IP.

What we should do is this:

(1) Everyone FOFC'er create a new Brute
(2) For every Brute, everyone else would create a pupil of that Brute
(3) Make sure you keep fighting with all your Brutes.

For example, Toddzilla, Wade, and FrogMan all create their main Brute. Wade and FrogMan would create pupils of Toddzilla. Wade and Toddzilla would create pupils of FrogMan, etc.

So each person would have a main brute with pupils as well as one pupil for every other main Brute in our FOFC "clan".

That way, out main Brutes will advance faster.

lordscarlet · 05-08-2009, 12:06 PM

I have 3 brutes as it is and don't play each one every day.

I've even tried using an anonymizer, but haven't found one that doesn't cause errors with the site.

Right now I have 2 brutes that I play regularly - WheelsVT and JaggedEdge.

How are you scheduling tourneys with your own brutes? Sounds a lot like creating your own WWF league.

3ric · 05-08-2009, 02:25 PM

Wow, my brute just did 46 points of damage with a single blow.

lordscarlet · 05-08-2009, 02:57 PM

I've done 130+ in a single blow

I'm up for this fwiw Todd. I've got 3 guys now but would be willing to create one or two more.

What is your main guy's name? Mine is wademoore.

My main guy is "Bozack"

i'll create a character to be a pupil of wademoore and fight him daily...thanks!

wade moore · 05-14-2009, 06:58 AM

Interesting..

It appears that we are not getting xp for each other. I wonder if it knows that we have characters so just that none of our new characters can give someone xp for leveling?

Toddzilla · 05-14-2009, 12:20 PM

I don't know - I noticed that too. That really sucks...

wade moore · 05-29-2009, 11:27 AM

Ok - who's still playing?

I'm level 10 now, so I could start an FOFC Clan.

Yeah, I have to refresh a bit there. Some times (like you said, 9ish in the morning is one of them) you have to do it more often than others.

MikeVic · 05-29-2009, 12:10 PM

I still try to play and I'm level 9. I don't like that your "turns" don't accumulate. If I miss a few days, I still only have three fights.

So..

shall I set up a clan?

I have a clan set up - FOFC Represnt

MikeVic · 05-30-2009, 11:20 AM

Can we view other fights that have happened? I thought one of my brutes did really well against a bear and club-wielding dude. So many blocked attacks, but eventually lost:

TheMikeVic My Brute

MikeVic · 05-30-2009, 11:21 AM

Oh and I've requested access to the clan for both my brutes.
