Crystal Machine delay bug ?

well what the title says

sometimes when u click it goes like 1 more lap round the scissor / rock / paper until it stops - after uve clicked (others say the same)

i find it kinda annoying to click rock to kill the scissor - then it stops on paper ... if it was just timing from my side then itd be impossible to always ''feel'' the delay these times - also these times it delays it always seem to stop on lose ?

anyway there is some strange thing with it atm that i think should need to be looked up on
going to 4 just to have a delay cause u to lose is getting on my nerves :pinch:

its really hard to get "lucky" enough to win many times in a row on that thing. i have this delay too, and it pretty much annoying. i heard if you win like 3 times on scissors, next 3 times you should use paper/rock to win, but idk is it really true since i gave up trying on that

what makes you think it is entirely skill based? theres probably some rng that sometimes makes it skip a symbol or something similar.

My thoughts exactly, if it was skill based I would have assumed it would be far to easy and people would be raking up the cash.

It would have to be a little random and require a little luck and thought, as would the real game.

raising the difficulty / speed by each level higher that you go would be a good enough ... by level 5 u wouldnt see the symbols in this case lol

thing is - the actual game - rock paper scissor is skill based - not ''luck'' based,at a ''low level'' or casual level ( u hit it off with ur friends) then its luck as no one cares - just throws off one of the 3, check profesional tournaments for example ... the one having fastest feints / last choice wins - considering ur eyes can actually follow the other guys hand movements will win - though i sure as hell wouldnt be able to follow lol


making a rock paper scissor ingame which is not the slightest as the real one, (''skipping'' some icons after uve clicked ... IRL example i hit my hand as a paper on the 3rd count then 1 sec later i switch to rock and win ? lol )

u click and it should stop, higher level the tougher ''opponents'' u face and the harder / faster it gets only natural, if it has a system ''counting'' when u win then why not just make it a fixed % chance to win at all times - would be no different in that case as it is fixed from the begining :pinch:

if all they gonna use from the actual game is the icons they should make an own gambling system ...
like an archer that cant equip bows, merely an archer by the name and looks - but its reality is something different

side note - well more like main note - discussing stuff inside '' Bug Reports '' isnt allowed i think - think Xief or Bona said something bout that in another thread here some time ago lol ? ? ? (thread i was active in lol)

I like the system the way it is, it can't be abused or overused this way, but it is still possible to get a high roll.

We haven't heard anything regarding this at present, but if we hear anything surrounding bugs/issues with these machines a member of the game team will notify you.

In reference to your side/main note : Lag Issues

Providing the discussion is on direct par with the actual bug and is helpful to the discussion it is allowed.

i like the system if it was actually a system and not something that is just tricking us, im not a big fan of going to like 6 wins just to have the 7th one delay and auto lose,

if you hear anything ... you have already heard something adn thats what i said here - delayed buttons - and THIS cant be justified no matter how you look at it, when you click it shall stop

you click to blind opponent then 1 second after you will cast it - makes sense ? >.<

its not '' when you click you have 30% chance to stop when u lcick - 30% to go to next icon - 30% to go to the 2nd next and 10% to do 1 lap around
>.<
if this is the case it should be said so

I've noticed this "delay" myself when playing the rock, paper, scissors game, but in my opinion the symbols flashing at the top of the screen might only be for aesthetic or visual effect.
As Titan and Xief mentioned above, I believe it is based on a random number generator, not skill. Considering how fast it moves, compared to the number of wins, if you ask me, each win is difficult - I often find it hard to win once, let alone multiple times. In my opinion each "round" should be considered in it's own right, you have a 1 in 3 chance of winning.
In a game of rock, paper, scissors in real life, you don't know what your opponent is going to choose until you each put out your hand, the same should be considered here, rather than getting upset that you pressed rock when it flashed scissors and you still didn't win.

read my earlier posts on this lol

but thing is u row up more wins by just clicking and then just spamming a button than when playing, and then all of a sudden u end up getting like 5-10 losses in row (after uve gotten some wins)
so atm they should change the game or its name - coz as of now only thing it got in common with RPS is the name and pictures ...

but ye i guess its normal to get to around 6-8 on Small every now and then and fail around everytime on 2nd or 3rd on large
some people said it was due to lag, but its same on normal in LB (where small game is) atm, my win / loss rate is alot higher on Small than it is on Normal as well (wont even rate large gainst small ...) (i did test with same amount of crystals, won more times and higher numbers on small than i did on Normal in LB)

anyway if u click then it should stop, if it chooses an icon on random and not by the images flashing by then it should sitll stop ! not delay its choice after u click ...

yea... when i use paper and i see rock there, it doesn't stop when i click and then i often lose. BUT when i use paper and i try click scissors, it stops :dead: so unfair..


and now i play this game ONLY if i get free crystals from monsters

true gino, if u hit it and lose its instant, if u hit it on win its either win - delay to draw - delay to loss
and many times its delay to loss many times in row...

so far i havent really encountered this with a win, i click - it continues to run and stop on so i win... :S

2 things here
1. I think this is lvl based I win on archer 60-70% (till lvl 6 then i lose) but on mage i can't get above lvl 4. (archer lvl 56, mage is 86).
2. Something hari said
"The icon means nothing." <--- he is right, its just an illusion, it doesn't work, it can happen once (by luck) but what you see isn't your opponents move. Reason why it skips is a delay. Game is set to make you lose anyways, unless your lucky to always pull out something stronger then your opponent does. The icons aren't your opponents move...

I dont think the spinning wheel has any effect on it at all, if so - those with no lag or those with uber lag either way, would be winning 24/7.
Its fact enough that it doesnt stop when u hit it that it doesnt fit in :S Its no doubt rng

And as for RL rock paper scissors .... well .. your playing against a computer ... its not meant to out think you really - you just play against it.
Perhaps their is skill fighting against people, but considering this is a dodgey digital version, i dont think they put as muchg effort into it as you all seem to think they did.

Maybe im wrong but i would rather see a vid of someone proving it instead of just taking it on sum1s word :O

if it just chose one of the three on random thats fine for me ... but its still setup sincei lose more on Normal in LB than on Small in LB
and on small the icon flashing by is the one computer chooses - rarely that it delays or anything
on Large i get to 3 wins and i consider myself as lucky as i got 8 on small ...

anyway, if it picked on random that would be fine for me, but if it was on random and not jsut auto choose so u lose then it wouldnt be such a delay ...
its like IRL, i go with Rock - person im facing waits til a second after we have gone down our hands and picks paper ... thats how the RPS in game is doing atm

BUT pick Scissor when its rock and i lose, pick scissor when its paper and i win / draw / lose
do some tests atm, if u click on the icon so u lose then u get the result insanely fast (i do atl) and ofr a win it may get delayed ...

either it should be completely random or should be as the icons are showing ... basing them on both of these factors dont really make sense :S

and many times its delay to loss many times in row...

didn't any1 win 10 times on that? i think the answer is ''no''.i think that rock-paper-scissors is cheating. is that a bug we lose often? or did they make that game hard because it would be too easy to win... my record is 6 on that game and i clicked these by random :wacko:

id rather if it just showed a *?* mark flickering , atleast then it doesnt give the impression that the game can be skill based , becuase clickin it at the right time when it should be a win just doesnt work,

i accept that yes its rng , but the thing that gets me is that the game has been set up to look like it should be a skill based game and how quick you press the button to win, its there purely to trick people into thinking they have a chance if they click it at the right time wich is kinda crappy tbh :P

I still think its all random, but maybe if someone made a vid of maybe 100+ tries in a row showing some form of shoddy system in play, with edited effects on it doing things like tallying up and / or pointing out stuff to show us all what they mean, would be the best way to get thigns changed realy if it did prove anything at all :S

didn't any1 win 10 times on that? i think the answer is ''no''.i think that rock-paper-scissors is cheating. is that a bug we lose often? or did they make that game hard because it would be too easy to win... my record is 6 on that game and i clicked these by random :wacko:

Man, hard to believe that knowone has beaten it 10x yet, not that it is an unbelieveable fact, but because it was made to be so ridiculously hard. Tho then again, if it were that easy then people would be making utter fortunes off it so no big deal really in the long run, have to admit i would luuurve to get one of those big prizes, wots in the boxs? :O Just reminds me of the gambling halls in the pokemon games rofl :blush:

id rather if it just showed a *?* mark flickering , atleast then it doesnt give the impression that the game can be skill based , becuase clickin it at the right time when it should be a win just doesnt work,

i accept that yes its rng , but the thing that gets me is that the game has been set up to look like it should be a skill based game and how quick you press the button to win, its there purely to trick people into thinking they have a chance if they click it at the right time wich is kinda crappy tbh :P

I think Zoes post sums up what the system is, the only thing that i would add is that - tho the system is damn hard to win on, it is made to be that way - otherwise everyone would have gold in the treble digits and that would just suck :S
And imo, i think 4s has the best money system going, 3 digits for em all insteada 2 for b and s is way nicer. In other games i played you end up with TONS! of gold at nooby levels and it feels just wrong,

I just aim to win 3x on the large system, 400s or somthing is just epic and u get 3x wins pretty often - at least compared to anything over it.
No point going for higher as it doesnt happen often and in the long run your loosing out on money, it can take 10+ tries to get over 5 and in that time you can get 1-5~ 3x's outa it. Sometimes it pure fails, but when it goes well and u have a few good runs u get a ton of moola and also feel pretty epic for getting it all so fast for doing basically nothing >:D

it is a game that isnt based on skill and thats certain, the whole delay thingy is pure proof of it ...

heck if it didnt delay i would make it to 8 on large now and then, but i cant get past 3 on large, but i can get to 10 on small...

thing is - if i click scissor once the flashing icon is rock i will lose instantly
click paper and i can win - draw and some cases even lose- sometimes its even gone whole lap around ...
but it doesnt delay when i click on a losing icon, which would be strange no ?
