1st Place Leaderboard

[Swiffi]

The new event has only been out for less than a day and 1st place already has 102k points... How

[sandokanski]

I don't know. Maybe time warps? I never use time warps. It's not worth it.
But maybe it's worth for them.

How?
Probably whale bait.

Hard to miss the fact the leaderboard is likely 'faked' and not based on real players, and is just their for the sake of providing challenge and sense of accomplishment. And to be a place to wedge in the whale bait at.

FYI, 1st place is only about 66k for me right now.

[www]

my 1st place is at 154k right now and im at 55k

[rditto48801]

Mine has first at 133k, I'm at 32k.
RNG hates me with the goals on this event.
I'll be lucky if I can get to, and hold, 12th on the leaderboard, with the way the game is with goals right now.
Which is not surprising. I had similar difficulty the previous time this particular event happened. (didn't even get the 8th reward last time)
A cruel irony (and perhaps unsurprising) that pulling out an outfit with event bonuses, is making things seem to be harder than before.

This was only a few hours into the event

[Boreall]

First place in my block had 220k points about 4 hours into the event. Sussy to be sure

(just checked and they're up to 305k while 2nd place is at 118k), everyone below them is under 75k

[sandokanski]

I never managed to get that much day 1. Usually I will settle for 20-30k. The events start around 7-8pm here, so I have to hop in bed without much points. But if I'm able to play 4+ hours per day, I can pretty easy get to 200k day 3. Closer to the end more points you get from the gold goals. So I can even go up to 800k (my personal max) by the end, but that means I'll have to play quire a lot and it is usually not necessary. Only once someone was chasing me hard and we ended 400k me, 300k him. Every other time 2nd place was under 200k.

Cheating?
Oh, you mean the Whale Bait.
But then again, the basis of said Whale Bait is basically Artificial Difficulty, so kind of counts as the game itself cheating.
It's a 'free to play' (free to pay/freemium) game, after all. (with events leaning toward 'pay to win'/'pay to skip grind' territory).

With all these different numbers people mention for their leaderboards, I decided to do a little testing. Make some observations.
From what I can figure out, event goals are mainly based on 'cash per second of investments.
So outfits, items, angels, perhaps even gilding, nothing really matters, it will be looking at the present cash per second to calculate goals, especially timed goals (and sometimes ignoring cash on hand). Even having to many Time Warps stockpiled, seems to become an obstacle. The more I stockpile for 'rainy days', the more often I seem to get timed goals, that need 'far' more than 3 hours to achieve.
Exclusive Reward outfit sets seem to make it even worse.
The thing where I couldn't make it to 12th? I was trying out an Exclusive Reward set for the first time. (+27% angel bonus total in events) After ditching it for a mixed set with far less bonuses (2x120% invest speed, -11.66% invest cost), I am now able to get to and hold 6th place, but needing 24k+ means getting to 5th is unlikely before the event ends.

It's no wonder the EU gets fed up with (potentially predatory) micro-transaction practices that seems happen a lot in games, like those that are 'free to play'.
Makes me wonder why many game companies, are adverse to 'earning' money.

I don't understand how an autoclicker works with this since you get managers and you can't click them to go faster

I can think of 3 things for an auto-clicker.
#1: The buy button for an investment, leave the game idle yet keep slowly building up the income amount per second over time.
#2: The profit booster. Which probably does little good in the long run, unless one has a timed goal to make/stockpile cash, and doesn't want to use a time warp.
#3: A bad finger or faulty mouse button, making normal rapid clicking difficult at best, and at least making a valid reason for using an auto-clicker.

None of those will turn into 100k points in 2 hours. You make points by completing goals.

no they just use wemod to cheat,

[nico]

no cheat needed to reach 100k in few hours if they have the suits for the event etc .....
