The people who use them will use them, but for those of us who don't, they're wasted.

Would also be nice to be able to use up some of my built up gold to buy hammers, stars or multipliers, just sitting there doing nothing. Thanks!

In Egg Breaker 2 that is 400% of your daily hammers for $5. So at the very end of the game you are getting around 20,000, but the eggs cost on average 10 hammers each, and you need to break in the order of 200,000 eggs to complete the area. That is 2,000,000 hammers! 2 million! In EBA the eggs cost on average 2.25 hammers each and currently to complete a Monkey it takes around 80,000 hammers (this is actually a lot higher than we intended and will be adjusting for balance). So to complete an the last area in EB2 entirely with bought hammers it would cost 2,000,000 / 20,000 * $5 or $500. To complete an area in EBA with entirely bought hammers it would cost 80,000 / 750 * $5 or $533. So they are actually very similar. Now that isn't a complete picture because to the number of daily hammers, tokens, stars, multipliers and other items is also different between the games. So it is complicated and not as simple as just the number of hammers. I am still interested to know what you feel would be a good value for hammers in EBA? One thing we intend to do is reduce the number of hammers required to finish an Area in EBA. This should increase the value you get when you buy hammers, but again as a contributing player I would like to hear your feedback. -David

886 Posts	Link to post - Posted January 2nd 2013 at 7:12 PM David Whittaker (CNE Dev) Hi Luna, are you familiar with the fallacy of the false dichotomy? The topic being discussed is the value of hammers purchased with real money. A player who makes purchases is going to have a well formed opinion on the subject. I value their opinion on the subject. That doesn't not exclude or effect in anyway how I value other posters opinions. -David
15 Posts	Link to post - Posted January 3rd 2013 at 2:26 AM Tamra Lonewolf Hi David. Here's my view on the value. I've spent a huge amount on hammers and what I'm looking for in value is the play time. In the beginning when the eggs cost 1 hammer, I was able to play for awhile. Now in the higher stages, when I get 750 hammers, I can play for maybe 10 minutes. That is not value to me. I would like to see more play time. In EB2, the number of hammers increased with the purchases, which to me was incentive for purchasing. We need incentive. :)

7 Posts	Link to post - Posted January 3rd 2013 at 6:17 AM Naomi Maisonneuve Hi David, Tamra pretty much summed up my thoughts. Purchasing hammers for me is to increase my play time, but I haven't found that to work in the higher levels. I don't mind spending a little money to increase my play time, but at the cost of hammers right now, I don't feel the value is there. If it were only about completing an area I wouldn't still play the previous EB versions as I have completed all the levels. As to a $ value for the hammers, I really don't have a # in my head, just that I find it a high price for play time compared to EB2.

Just as a note in regards to EB2 - it got way out of hand for how many hammers players got near the end. We will be making some changes to EB2s balance for new players - but existing players will not be effected. We will also be making some small pricing changes that will effect all players. -David

886 Posts	Link to post - Posted January 5th 2013 at 12:32 PM David Whittaker (CNE Dev) Hi Denise, In Egg Breaker Adventures Monkey Bucks are used in the game instead of Facebook Credits directly. You buy Monkey Bucks with Facebook credits. If you want to buy Monkey Bucks you can do so from the main screen with the monkeys by pushing the plus next to your count at the bottom. Or just try to buy something that you don't have enough Monkey Bucks for and it will prompt you to buy some with Facebook Credits. -David

886 Posts	Link to post - Posted January 24th 2013 at 12:06 AM David Whittaker (CNE Dev) Hi Danielle, Yes, there are trophies for progress in both EB1 and EB2 that give you bonus hammers in EBA. -David
