Lure vs. Trap (is it fair?)

Rob · #1 (**permalink**) 07-07-2005, 02:50 AM

I dont know exactly how the points are awarded throughout the game play. I assume they are different between gags. But a gap of a wide margin shouldnt be. As an example.

While doing bullion mints, I used my trap 6 times, at the end, I recieved a lousy 45 points (I almost got dynamite). However, one toon used lure only 2 times and recieved 136 points (has big magnet). Tell me, how in the world can that be such a big gap? I have noticed that drop as well as trap do not get as high of points as other gags. It is as I see it, an unfair situation when training gags!

If you have any insight to this, let me know!

lure is way better because you can lure the cog and he cant hurt you because he's dizzy so in you case choose lure.

Well for your trap it depends on what traps you were using. The bigger trap you use the bigger the experience points you'll get. When you doing Buillons your gag experience will be doubled by 2. So for example your lvl 6 throw gag which is Birthday Cake has 6 gag skill credits to begin with but when in Buillon that triples to 18 so each time you throw that gag you will get 18 experience points. If it was buildings it would be Floor 1: x1.0, Floor 2: x1.5, Floor 3: x2.0, Floor 4: x2.5, and Floor 5: x3.0.

For the lure, im not sure of. That could be a bug where the gag experience counter isn't working right or someother bug.

I think it depends on when you used the gag. The mutipliers increase the more battles fought. In a buillion, the numbers can rise up pretty quickly!

That's jusy my theroy. I dunno if it's correct. Good luck trying to get your TNT tho.

I don't know if you read my post above or not but the multipliers do not increase the more battles fought. If you were in a building each story you go up it will raise by 0.5. And for the mints they just stay the same when you go in. Like buillons multiplier is by 3x and stays like that. Doesn't change the more battles you fight.

Buillon tho wouldn't be a good place at all to train gags. Factories and buildings are good tho.
