Early Access version 118

In the -2002test, zones have a hole in the middle of them, bug?

[Baron]

Publishing this -2002test was a mistake I swear.

[Starbrockle]

That’s how it works.

[ChickenGaming]

Poll for this idea because why not:

@ChickenGaming

For daily missions: Level types for the whole week should be set beforehand, with some rules:

• At the start of the week, all levels have the same chance to appear
• Levels that have already appeared has a lower chance of appearing again in the same week.

This is a fairly simple system that’s scalable - so if we got more level types in the future,
the levels assigned would still be diverse and unpredictable without having to fix the complications that comes with adding more level types.

With the current system we might have problems when there are 6 level types or more, as there’s no room left for 20%-ing level spawning chances, plus there could be a case like this where 1 type of mission gets spawned over and over and over again.
(technically this will still be a thing, though happens way less often)

And a poll for this idea because IA asked for it:

@ChickenGaming

I often save a bunch of levels in my to-do list to do them at a later time, then do them all when it’s full.
But I’d often do certain types of levels that are after other types of levels in the list first.
The problem is, to do that with the current system, you’d have to scroll down over and over again to find that level type whenever you want to play the “next level” of the same level type, given that your level type of choice isn’t CI (which is at the top of the list by default, so no scrolling).

So for example I have some, say 20 CI levels ahead of my Boss Rush ones.
I want to do, say 10 Boss Rush levels back-to-back.
With the current system I’d have to scroll past all the same 20 Chicken Invaders each time I want to get a new Boss Rush level up and running, which kinda goes like this:
open To Do, scroll 20 levels, play, win, then re-open To Do, scroll through another 20 levels, play, …
(repeat that cycle 10 times, and you’ll find it extremely tiresome)

This only gets worse if the type of level you’re trying to play is at the bottom of the level type list ( like Key Rush or Double Team, for example ) and you have CHL, which increases the maximum levels list to 300 for To Do specifically, effectively multiplying your scroll time by a lot.
I once had to scroll through about 120 levels to get to a Key Rush, finished that, then scrolled through those same 120 levels to do the next one, and again, and again.

So I suggest that there should be an additional mission type filter, so there will be practically no scrolling needed to get to your levels much more quickly.
It also adds new combinations to your filter settings, like asking for the Key Rush Levels sorted by duration, or Double Team levels sorted by difficulty, etc …

Which is why I think that should be implemented, and would make a pretty good addition.

@InterAction_studios

Well, I’ve added, but it doesn’t depend on difficulty. And Double Team is also affected. Changed in v.119

Can I get medol too? CIU rebalance ideas
Was suggested from my old account in this topic long ago

[ChickenGaming]

changes in waves no longer spawn new idea medals, so it’s a nope.
There might be an exception here since you’ve suggested this way before this rule though, but I don’t think you’ll get it - it’d spawn in alot more cases like this for IA to fix.

[MaybeOrandzaIdk]

???
What are you talking about?

[neonep]

I don’t know if you’ll get a medal or not, since I’m not getting one from this suggestion

[ChickenGaming]

IA had a new rule back in EA ver 117 or 116 that stated this.
Also @neonep I don’t have one for Yolk Star poking heads suggestion too, so it’s a thing now.

[MaybeOrandzaIdk]

Oh yeah I hadn’t noticed that right away. Then I guess it doesn’t matter. Could still be mentioned at least but it’s fine if not.

@ChickenGaming

IA had a new rule back in 117 or 116 that stated this.

Your wording confused me and I just forgot about that rule. Or perhaps this is what checking the forum immediately after taking a nap does to me…

[Baron]

he probably meant that you won’t get a medal because changes on waves don’t result in medals getting awarded and as you can see IA didn’t award the other guy a medal.

[MaybeOrandzaIdk]

Yes I realized that. Please read the reply I wrote after that one. Thanks.

Bug: In “Bloody goes whereever it pleases” boss, we can damage the first quarter of the henterprise before it shoots his gigantic beam, however when we do that, the charge effect instantly disappear after that, but it still fires the beam after some moments of it disappearing which might mislead the player and get him killed. could you fix that?

[Amiko]

is this display problem? Positron Stream (Blue & Red line) glitched while shooting ;\

[QuackQuack]

I can confirm the similar issue in “Boldly Goes Wherever it Pleases” boss. I’ve thought of it many times but forgot to report. This can be very problematic on low difficulties or in multiplayer, where we can damage it so fast and make it crack at 25% or 75% even before it start to shoot the middle beam.

[OneWingLunarian]

bloody goes wherever it pleases

is this a new boss with lots of gore

im interested in age rating increasing boss

[ChickenGaming]

This has happened for quite a while now, way back in v116 I had this happened, which actually got me killed. (That’s the earliest instance I can remember seeing this occurring, but could happen way earlier)

[ChickenGaming]

Here’s a small list of ideas:

• Can Wave Insight show “Mission Complete” as the “next wave” if we’re at the final wave?

• Can Spawners should also turn off their lights (the lights around the circle) to be more consistent with the other invincible metallic barriers in the waves?

• Can the “Acrobatics” waves should have danger zones where the chickens initially appear at?

• Squeeze Through: You cannot squeeze through the vertical barriers if you’re using a big ship.
  Should the barriers be replaced with balls so you can actually squeeze through and take aim?
  Otherwise you’re gonna be there for a while (or outright skip it with missiles/ICBMs).

• Also, why does the balloon chickens always “fall” towards the bottom of the screen and not where “gravity” is pointing towards?

[ScarletCuboids]

The wave spawner spinner is brutal

I know you can beat it easily but it’s beyond some of the pros.

I suggest zooming out the wave OR make the enemies only spawn inwards

What do you think

• Yes (zoom the wave out)
• Yes (Make enemies spawn inwards)
• Yes (Both)
• No (Leave it as is, skill issue)
