really displeased with the new flux puzzle
691 Posts	Link to post - Posted October 21st 2013 at 4:13 PM jpl77 Sorry Devs, I usually sing your praises however the new Flux sucks :( I do not like 144 pieces, and I dislike tiny pieces even more. My only description for The Flux now is "tedious". I used to be excited to get there, now I dread completing it. Sorry, wish I could offer something positive....

How about creating two smaller one, like one that build a bridge, clear and obstacle or open a door, then the other make the chest appear?

It is tough because there are some players that would like larger or more difficult puzzles and others prefer smaller puzzles. Thank you Joe for your suggestion of an alternate route. Any other alternate puzzle ideas would be welcome.

I know things need to get tougher as the game progresses but maybe 2-stage puzzles would be the answer and not tiny tiny pieces.
305 Posts	Link to post - Posted October 26th 2013 at 6:44 PM Kate (aquafishy) I would like to chime in on the "144 puzzle pieces is over the top" band wagon. Is there a reason why 121 was insufficient? Trust me, 121 pieces is MORE than enough to entice folks to use Bushbucks.

I bet Nates and Kaines quests are going to be bigger too. At this rate not many players will complete 8 fluxes if you continue the approximate 2 month period between content updates. Are they going to be farther apart and is this why the Max level is +20 instead of the +15 its been for a long time?

Add a magnifying glass button in the puzzle solving screen that, when toggled: Will remove all surroundings with a proper color background to avoid â€œmissing/invisible piecesâ€ problems Allow the option to set a zoom inside this puzzle solving screen in various pre-sets (x2, x4, x8â€¦)" If you do, please add a note it is from Lackper, a player in kongregate.

Lvl 109 "Pseudo Achiever" 3 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2013 at 1:17 PM Lynna Waters I'd LOVE a real puzzle, now if only i wouldn't be limping 100 levels behind each time a new upgrade comes.. LoL! The only fix to this is, YES to big puzzles (heck, puzzlelovers would laugh their butts off at a 150 puzzle, 1000 is the thing! Just make the puzzlescreen a bit bigger so that the pieces are better to catch? Maybe a fullscreen puzzleground and then some sort of sidebar with puzzlepieces in there and if you mouseover the sidebar you get a fullscreen tray of all the pieces? Somehow it must be possible, im sure theres digital 1000 pieces puzzles outthere somewhere too! Don't give up people, don't let them know you, be strong, bite through and WIN at that epic puzzle :D Puzzle some extra for me, I can't wait to get there!
691 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2013 at 2:18 PM jpl77 Sorry, don't agree. Now if there was a separate puzzle game, much like how fishing is separate I could buy off on it, however 144 pc Flux puzzle is way too much, a 1000 pc is just pure insane.
Lvl 109 "Pseudo Achiever" 3 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2013 at 2:51 PM Lynna Waters Well, i suppose someone that's not into puzzling is not starting a puzzle in the first place heh :D
102 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 2nd 2013 at 2:52 PM Nick Smith I could be down for 1000 piece puzzle if it was one puzzle of 100 pieces and each piece was its own puzzle of 10 pieces.

Lvl 370 "The Great One" 22 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 27th 2013 at 5:18 PM William Wilson I would like to chime in and request that FLUX 10 be made up of two (or three) puzzles of 64 or even 81 pieces each. I find that even in full screen mode with my 24 inch monitor that the pieces are too small for me to see clearly. I'm not complaining at all about the number of pieces that I have to find. Just that having to sit inches away from my monitor to put the pieces together is a pain. And having multiple puzzles is an easy sell to the Bush Buck Accountants.
