Why does everyone try to compare ForumWarz to KoL? They are nothing alike and it just results in troll-like posting. For the record, anyone who thinks ascension was a bad thing for KoL is ridiculous and hadn’t spent a year using turns at the shore with literally nothing else to do.

Since I have no interest in domination, that’s basically what I’m looking forward to once I hit the level cap.

That’s kinda why I want there to be remorting in the game.

This is seriously off base and makes me think you’ve read about KoL but never actually played it.

Yes, read about it AFTER people accused me of ripping it off. I noticed that there was some text on their wiki about getting items that grant permanent stat boosts on returning from the afterlife, but that might have been just poor wording.

In FWZ terms that would be a camwhore “ascending” into a hacker in order to take the ipz attack.

Cross-clbuming has been bantered about for quite awhile, but I really doubt it will ever actually happen in FW. Needless to say, that’s not a part of this suggestion.

This could be a decent idea if we hit the end of Episode 3 and CZ decides to integrate some sort of pvp or klan vs klan endgame where it mattered and was thus worth the effort. Even then at 4 visits per day I just don’t see it being worth it unless each replay permanently unlocked access to everything from that clbum.

I think being allowed to carry over some equipment would be enough, provided that they make more troll/glbumes situations.

Your idea of getting a +1 bonus via replay, the end game situation has no need for it. Maybe you aren’t seeing it because you haven’t hit the level cap, but I can one or two shot every thread in every forum with every clbum except permanoob (not saying they can’t, I just don’t have one.) There simply is no reason to grind through the game over and over for +1. You cannot one shot things faster no matter how much you bump them.

... which is why I’ve been saying that it’s not unbalanced. It does two things; it lets you know how many times you’ve played through the game, and it gives you a slightly better leg-up on the early levels of each cycle.

Yes, there IS no point to grinding through the game over and over for a +1 bonus, and people who love the endgame aren’t going to take a month out of domination for something that’s useless to them

Could it make a difference for Episode 3? Yes, I can see that, but CZ has said they don’t want players to go into Episode 3 with a big advantage, thus the level cap. It’s really clear that gathering .moar files is the built in way for players to get an advantage going into future gameplay.

My current stats:

Offense 50

Defense 52

Luck 38

Frugality 18

Charisma 55

Upkeep 6

That’s a total of 219 points. If I spent the next year doing nothing but grinding for +1 bonuses for some absurd reason, then I would get a bonus of between 10 and 15 points. Grinding Geronimo for rare .moar files would get me far more than twice that bonus in a tenth the time. I think it goes without saying that it’s impossible for this suggestion to unbalance things for episode 3.

Looking at replay for the sake of trying other clbumes, I know part of your argument is that you paid for Ep 2 and want to try other clbumes, but just get an alt.

Camwhore

Troll

Emokid

Hacker

Permanoob

Re-re

To get an alt for each would cost 15bp, and would result in me getting a total of 24 forum visits a day. That puts more load on the game’s servers, and gives people an advantage in Domination.

My proposal puts no additional load on the servers, and doesn’t give people an advantage in domination. Although it would only cost about 3 or 4BP total to get all the clbumes, it doesn’t give all the benefits that alts do.

When you signed up for the site you were very clearly given a choice of clbumes as your free character. One of the only ways CZ brings in bonus money is via BPs. 3 BPs is in fact not a lot of money and if you like the game enough to want to play it over and over, you should consider supporting the game by picking up a few BPs in order to try out the other clbumes if that is how you want to play.

I did mention that my idea would involve paying CZ for bp, right?

Edit: Too tired to think and/or type.
