Leader 2nd Skill

For the good of the people, please post leader 2nd skill.

Mean Mary: "Leader's Vitality" increase HP of all squadmates

Same for Brodie. I imagine they all have it

well...that could've been awesome.

Wtf brodies first still is now a 6% proc rate at skill lvl 24?????? WTF

all the same. bland. it would be great for leveling.... or something.... you know.... if the leaders were good for leveling other mercs at all.

Yup all 2nd skill is the same and first skill lol

24-30 lvl

The leaders heal now. Add that in with more and lvl'ing made easy

Freaking awesome!! 85 merc limit now!!!

It's not a heal, its is a bump to existing HP at start of battle.

May be that little extra to make a leveling squad live, or something.

Duke has hp buff too. I guess it's the same for everyone.

Hmm....I foresee an issue here. Brodey at 30/30 has a 0% proc rate. Impressive Dakota, most impressive.

Now if they could just release a "Change 1st Skill to whatever you want," the leaders might be worth something.

Anybody checked the power of hp buff yet? Duke & Jade might have quite good buffs.

A whopping 25%.

Hmm...0% on both skills at 30/30. Great QA team they have over there.

13140 *0,25 = 3285 (Buffed with Dukes wis), Yeah nothing spectacular  

Hmmm, nice little bonus I got here. More space for mercs and 2 res of each. Also some crystals & 2 Omega Cells, Me Liky !

Think you might have a bug, I'm using Cmdr. Brodey; Overcharged Shot is at 24 now, since that one is increased as well with 34% so will be 35% max.
Leader's Vitality is at level 15/25 and already has 53% proc rate.

anyone else notice that leaders can be updated to 15 crystals ea? I was able to update my alt acct to 15, but my main doesn't even show up in the enhance screen...

Mean mary whoaaaa crystals on agi 10/25

O_O

Yea I've read in the Info screen. They're making Leader worth playing now.

Her agi is now 13336

Not bad

I was able to update my alt acct with Brodey to 15/15 crystals to all stats, but my main with Brodey isn't available to enhance anymore. Anyone else seeing this?

Leader proc rates were at 0% because meta data was being updated.

I hope you enjoy this update, and thank you for bearing with us.

Would it be worth spending 25 crystals each on ??

@bret Thank YOU for posting some information for us! I for one appreciate and love dev involvement! Stop by any time

Are you sure you don't have a squad deployed? You can't add crystals to a deployed merc.

I'm wondering if that's what all the res they deposited was for. I don't think they're allowing players who have already fully crystallized their leaders to add 5 more crystals.

Unless someone else has been able to add 5 more of each.

I can't add them to my leader either....

It is definitely great to finally have a dev on the forum telling us the going ons of the game. Piqued my interest for the game again for sure. Welcome to the forum Bret! :-)

Personally I'm glad all the leaders got the HP buff. When I first saw that skill on Mac I thought I got shafted yet again.

Definately good to here from a DEV. Thank you for update

Thanks a lot, I appreciate your (forum members') deep understanding of the game mechanics. We required some time to bring FatalFrontier back to the pace it was with the previous producer. As promised we have just achieved our first milestone.

Stay tuned for new features and updates. Let us collectively increase our user base to improve over all gaming experience and more importantly the PvP. I read somewhere in the forum about "Botters", what exactly do you mean by that/Who do you call a bot?

Invite your friends and see them getting addicted to FatalFrontier. I'd like to hear from the legends who are apparently on leave from the frontier.

In the end my salutation to the forum admins, people hosting JSON-Parser specially /u:legendslayer/, voluntarily maintaining the wiki, event teams, and all the members sharing their gaming experience. There were times when I gasped at your depth of understanding for certain features.



Edit: Spell corrections, salutations.

Will do, any 'plans' you could reveal for us already what would be new in the future ?

Sure will do, currently we are in a process of implementing a lot of feedback from this and the other Mobage forum. And I must keep .

No problem.
Thanks for sharing !

Bottors are those who uses some specifically programmed software in bluestacks to play the game by itself without very less human input. So that just click a button once n go to sleep n the botting programme keeps on accumulating points. I think so i dont know much.
C'mon art, ryback, paint... Devs r concerned about botting n they needs info. U guys have a lot of info to tell them..

Thank you Dokesh123, I don't know if you would believe me, but Botting is something we are not doing, in-fact we have taken measures to secure client and server communication. If someone could provide more detail on how someone would be able to keep playing without getting interrupted by some dialogue boxes or so.

If someone is using sikuli or similar tool, then kudos to their scripting skills, and we have to see how to fix this. Would love to hear more about bottors.

bretfort, I'll be happy to fill you in on botting. Stay tuned though, as I'm finishing up a project here.

Hi bret,
Great to see you here! This forum is a lot less "whingy" than those for most other games so I hope you enjoy reading through it.
I don't know a lot about botters but I do know that they have caused a number of the current Fatal Frontier players to leave other phone-games such as Blood Brothers as it's absolutely rampant over there. So I'm very happy to hear that you're going to be actively monitoring for such behaviour :-)
I'm sure some of the rest of the lads can provide more details on what botting behaviour they've noticed on other forums and within FF.
Again, welcome to the forums.
Darren

lol, that's a good thought, but I was not deployed.

but, funny thing...today, I logged into my main and tried again, 10/25 for all stats and I was able to enhance all to 25/25

@bretford Thank you for your interest in this topic.

Bluestacks is just a virtual machine which allows android phone games to be played on windows.

There exist a lot of GUI automation tools which are capable of simulating user interaction and to react to dialogboxes and changes in windows contents. Their primary use is for software developers to automate their software test. You mentioned already sikuli. AutoIt is popular together with bluestacks, but there are many more:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_GUI_testing_tools
https://code.google.com/p/robotium/

Especially for the game Bloodbrothers there exist many solutions and scripts to walk the player through the tutorial to reveive the welcome gifts or to just log into an account regularly to receive the daily login rewards. These solutions automate not only the steps inside blustacks but also the framework around it (windows registry, ...) to change the phone (android) id of blustacks so that every new account in blustacks seems to come from another phone. All this does not require deep knowledge or skills.

The botter (the person who runs these bots) can not only fake the android id but also the ip adress by using proxies, vpns, and such. This makes it difficult to identify botters as such. You could identify them by patterns, like many (like dozens or more) accounts only walking through the tutorial and then gifting their res to one or a few receivers. These receivers are the accounts of the cheaters, the botters.

Thanks a lot iirybackii and wardwarf now reading both responses.

I am aware of how these automation scripts and bluestacks work, let us push our focus on how it affects your gaming experience, an end-user experience/frustration is what I am looking for. How do fake accounts actually disturb your progress.

Well when those fake accounts help push 5 other accounts into the top ten that's one person getting all those L's and legit players have to pay more $$$ just trying to get one L

There's one person that ends up with 7 or 8 accounts in the top 25 taking lethals away from everyone else. Sure the company doesn't mind all the extra money spent on resources by the legit guys but at some point all the legit players will quit because they can't get anywhere and then wheres the money coming from? The guys scripting? lol hell no and now with these rewards? Dakota probably just gave those cheaters thousands of free resources.

@aceslifebegins
noted,

and yes I agree the botters will pass out with happiness with all these retroactive rewards.
