I personally do not have any issues with players who wish to use autoclickers, game enhancers or any such like programmes to assist them in gameplay, as I believe that these actions can not affect any other players game, they can't steal your own gains or reduce your scores, so why does it matter so much? Each player should be allowed to play their own way, as long as it is within the guidelines or rules set out by the developers.

Maybe a poll could be introduced to see how many players are actually bothered by the use of different programming to enhance gameplay. Devs you could also vote yourselves as you too are part of this community and it is your game! Do any of the devs have issues with the style of game that the players choose?

jpl77- good call on the "Fatigue" if anything were to be done on that score, the code or whatever is already there to stop xp being gained, like when game friends help us to whack in the fields...no xp is gained.

I really don't care for penalties of any shape or form for anybody, they don't and won't affect my game...ever.

I would much prefer the devs use their time and effort to progress the game further with updates to areas and new content etc than waste time on this drivel.

I don't know why things have to be so complicated. Why not let players play the way they want, for as many hours as they want, but just put a cap on the rankings, and event progress. Easy Peasy.

Or just don't show the rankings at all. Just let players see their own personal rankings and event progress, so they can set their own personal goals.
Again ... Easy Peasy

When I played on BFG, players could not view the rankings, or go to anyone else's profile. I never knew rankings existed for my game until I migrated to CNE. I knew they existed on Facebook and was more than happy that BFG didn't show them, and so were other players that I chatted with.

It goes without saying that my game was more enjoyable without rankings and seeing other players profiles. There was no competition between players trying to outdo one another, and therefore no drama pertaining to game scores and rankings.

There were some good points made in this thread about why some of Nick's ideas won't work well for some players. So my question is: Why can't we do without the complicated proposed solutions, and just keep things simple?

I still do not see and or read how it is being done to attain the high scores and fast rank movement,, is still my question to which the post is all about.??And again this all started when FB migrated to CNE.

Moreover, I know I can't sit 4-20 hrs without taking a break and or get up and move around. just saying.

Everybody/anybody has the right to express his/her opinions/thoughts without malice and I stated mine.

The developers will have the last say.

I see developer Nickshire(CNE)has replied to post with no solution yet.

Dev Nick asked for thoughts and suggestions and all I read is more rambling.
I read many comments and still no one has said how the high rank scoring is being done.

The only comments I read that make sense is from Flybaby who stated good ideas without any rambling.
I can only sit for 1 - 2 hrs at the most, when whacking and not 20 hours.

So the question here is what will be done?

The people who use this play style have been abused and insulted, not just in this thread but in other places and at other times. I completely understand why they feel disinclined to explain how they play. In the years I've been playing this game I've seen several players independently develop high scoring systems so it's something anyone with sufficient technical nous should be able to work out. The build for perpetual whacking is well known, I have several versions depending on which pet I fancy using. For the automation if you put "game auto clicker" into Google you'll find several possibilities, it's just a matter of trying them out until you find one you can make work the way you want.

You might only be able to play for a couple of hours but that doesn't alter the fact that we do have players who spend all day in the game.

As for "what will be done?" I've been clear I don't think anything needs to be done. I certainly don't want Nick trying to engineer something which won't have the desired result. I'd be OK with removing the ranking list and having people's scores on their profiles so that people who want to compare their scores still can even though I don't think it's necessary.

These people have not been abused etc, it is called being acknowledged/questioned in their game play score and ranks as to how it is being and or can be done. There is more to this that meets the eye, so much more.

I believe, I read what Dev Nickshire say the BW2 game is only set up to whack at such a certain speed.


Also, no one and I mean no one can ''sit'' for 10 - 20 hours of ''non-stop'' whacking ''''everyday'''' and still get high scores, so again there is something a miss here and it not just the usage of AutoClickers.

*****Rid OF Ranks****

Lets get back to this fun game and be happy,.I hope dev Nickshire will do the right thing..!!!!

the only people i know of who can sit all day are the people who can not stand all day anymore, so please give the disabled a break and allow us some room to distance themselves from pain the best way they know how.

Me, if i could i would be in this game more often. now i was at first, but this game no longer serves as the pain distraction quite as well as it used too. it's one reason i am considering an auto clicker, not just for this game but for other games as well. the one difference i can totally say about having an auto clicker is that you will not see me using it to climb in the rankings because i simply do not care not a fig for rankings, mine or anyone else's.

I think the best thing to do to completely retire the rankings system or only let you only be able to see your rank and no one else's as it was explained in one post about the way it was on BFG.

That seems to be the only fair way to treat those of us in the position of not being able to take all the breaks that one person feels must be a factor in our lives because it is in hers.

So much vitriol... Over something nearly pointless...

Just turf the ranking system entirely.

I agree with Mr196941 and others. Get rid of the rankings, then everyone can get back to enjoy playing the game.

I see some really stupid comments in this thread. Believe me, I've tried to not use the word stupid but honestly I can't sit back on not say something here...

Who do you think you are demanding that anyone in this game OWES YOU AN EXPLANATION? Seriously, I nor anyone else OWES you a darn thing.

Far too many players have shared their experience and knowledge over the years via Facebook groups, Kong chat/threads, CNE forums, discord and in game chat. Players have dedicated their times to building the wiki. People have taken their personal time out to explain how the game works, how runes, trinkets, pets and mounts all interact. There are even YouTube videos that were shared with the community.

Phagras has even explained in this thread runes for perpetual play with -100 gold, -100 nothings and +100 mana.

Literally, with helping and guiding hands from generous players, certain players refuse to open their minds and are blinded by their own inability and hubris.

Cougar, the modus operandi of bullies: swoop, attack, sit back, cackle.
Demanding to know how things are done to achieve score,
so they don't have to do any of the work themselves. Mistakenly thinking if they can't do it, it can't be done.

Barb wants to know everything ,your runes, trinkets, PAGAS, wether you swap mount bonuses or remove them, equipment bonuses ,what pet or mount you use. I have an idea Barb why don't you write down and tell us all of yours, I would be willing to change my things around to see if I get the same results as you you playing for an hour.

I appreciate the fact that Nick thinks this is healthy for the BW2 community to comment about and he only asks for thoughts and suggestions about the post. I don't think he means the defaming,ridiculing and or all the belittling comments here = toxic behaviour. (っ^▿^)💨

My suggestion again is to rid of all ranks & maybe just maybe add stronger restrictions to the code of conduct rules.


Happy Whacking !!!!
