Exactly,

Now i'll post an example Had a poor connection for about 10 days so i haven't been using my arties now in order to use them up i need

70 clicks to use the rank points i've accumulated.
320 clicks to use my prisoners
960 clicks put them into t/o's
337 clicks to use my helmsmen
329 clicks to use my scientists
355 clicks to use my brackets
356 clicks to use my x charge cells

Now that on it's own is 2700 clicks

Or roughly 270 clicks per day to use normal arties

And let's not include the 100's of Msp's and tesselectors

But that should give you an idea of what high ranks are up against

Also remember others have 60%-80% more ap/h than me.

Lets also not forget, thats not even playing the game itself. That doesnt include hitting NPC's, PvP, basing, etc. So clicking is a persisting issue

Yeah it's unlikely to get more than 1 arti added per second it would take about 45 mins to use all doing that won't be in the mood to actually play

How has having a poor connection Dan's fault? Or a old laptop? Invalid reasons for posting.

Seriously guys this thread is at very least a month old, just let it die already. I have absolutely zero lag because
A. Decent laptop
B. Decent Internet Connection

If you still have lag, time to delete all your... videos of...
Or whatever rubbish is taking up all your memory and your computer.

If it is really taking thirty seconds for one click then lag is hardly his fault. You chose to have a high artifact point total now live with the consequences or fix your devise... Choice is yours.

EDIT! I think Dan is going to consider releasing this soon though

I think it's fair to say we should stop feeding the troll, now ^^

Oh dear... you really do fail to make simple connnections don't you?

Namekian, I will tell you what the problem is in a way that you can hopefully understand.
The problem is not the time it takes to click (or internet connection, but that could be a separate issue). The problem is how many clicks are required to use all of the artifacts you get from your AP. As Fireblade said, he needed 2700 clicks to use up all of his artifacts, gathered up in 10 days. That's not a very long time if you think about it. It is a week plus 3 days. After he uses all of that, he still hasn't done anything in the way of playing the game. Can you see how excessive that is, and how easily it could be fixed?
Oh, and by the way, I don't think downloaded videos would slow down your internet connection. I could be wrong, please don't laugh at me if I am....
If you still cannot understand, then I truly feel sorry for you.

Can we just let this thread die, I heard enough.

EDIT! I think Dan has seen this thread and how wonderful this idea is!

2700 clicks at one click per second is 2700 seconds. Divide that by 60 for minutes AND... you come up to an astounding 45 minutes of clicking at one click per second.




This.

The time frame was for only yes others may have a quicker connection and it would take less time but the fact remains it's still 270 clicks per day that could easily be avoided.

I5 processor 16gb of ram is more than enough to play a online flash game, and yes my internet is not the fastest but i live in rented accommodation so i can't actually change it but that was not the issue the fact was the number of clicks even with a great connection clicking 4x a second it's still going to be 10-15 mins redundant clicking.

Namekian I think you are severely missing the point of this game...

...this game is about getting as strong as possible. In order to do that you will need more and more artifact points. No matter how strong your connection is if anyone ends up spending more time using arties instead of actually playing the game then that makes the game ultimately boring. Eventually it will get to a point where using arties makes up the majority of gameplay and at that point players will leave and dissuade others from playing it.

You are basically erring on the side of failure. You can't leave people on a cliff and expect them to jump off and die.

On top of it you have no idea how bad the high rankers have it. You are limiting your POV so severely it almost makes me feel sorry for you. Please, for the sake of every fustrated player trying to prove the point to you (that you so blatantly ignored) keep you posts off of this thread until you begin seeing it from their perspective.

They won't change it. Any recommended changes that make sense does not get done. One user said it won't get done because clicking one at a time takes longer, and Dan wants to keep us online. Thats nonSense. You're saying that after you've used up all of your artifacts of a certain kind, you're going to get offline? Stop thinking for Dan and then maybe you can be a little more constructive.

Some things in the game are archaic, there is just too much repetitive clicking that doesn't need to be done.

And for God sake, could you please please please lock the Ku and Ai minerals. NO ONE WANTS TO FREAKING SELL THEM. CAN U LOCK THOSE AUTOMATICALLY PLEASE (Dan). Help stop all this repetitive clicking.

Don't clear your cookies and these will stay locked permanently.

I think this thread is worth a bump, as well as a reply from Dan himself.

It would be lovely to at least hear why he won't add this.

+1 (again). Recently had my browser crash twice as I was clicking. 1x when adding TOs and the other when clicking on Helmsmen.

Please stop bumping this thread... It is extremely old... It is worth a lock in my opinion!

EDIT! Changed my mind bumps all the way

It deserves a respond from Dan, since claims to make content based on user preference and this is clearly wanted by everyone but you. So keep saying don't bump it and keep it at the top.

If this thread deserves a lock, you deserve a ban.
