OMG there really is a new bot. I thought you were just pulling my leg like in I'm going nuclear if I don't get hydro. And bummer I don't have hydro yet either.

I wouldn't kid anyone about a new Bot... I still say Floodlight is part of the combo... and maybe Magnet?

We don't have the combo yet. There's still time to get your Hydro.
I'll jump in the test account a bit later on and see what I can find out.
I think you should NOT jump in the test account fletch. Leave this to us SLOW amateurs and you and debstoy concentrate on losing the hydro competition so that you can join us for this one. For that matter, I would also like coolkiw1 and unknown to get their hydros and become losers as well. I want you all to be able to join the next competition. I hope to hear great news from the hydro comp before I hear any news from the Nuclear comp.
I tried geo & solar and got an 8 hour. No combo yet, and I hope it stays that way just long enough...
I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...

The problem with GN is that it will never make much revenue because of the speed ups - I think BFS underestimated how powerful they are. No matter how long something takes, with 4 or 5 speed ups, the time becomes pretty negligible. Even the 7 day meteors can easily be cleared in less than a day (although it's hard to imagine anyone would spend over 150 crystals to speed it up...)
In addition, there is hardly any use for crystals in GN. I use mine for speeding up short fails, mainly because I don't really have any other use for them.
You can't buy anything with them (except the baby bot station extensions which are very cheap) either.
On top of all this, they are relatively easy to get - with a few 'Win a Battle' goals, it's pretty easy to get 10 per day.
So basically:
- Easy to get crystals - Nothing to spend crystals on - No need to be patient with long timers due to speedups (I think the longest I've waited for a master bot is about 8 hours!)
---> Hardly anybody is going to purchase crystals.
And given how easy it is to obtain excessive amounts of robux and food, I can hardly imagine anyone is going to spend real $$ on those.
It is a good game with some good potential, but not a great business model which unfortunately means not a lot of love from the BFS people on this project.
This may be true at L50, but at L18 you get pretty tired of losing battles with your L15 Astro without the combat gizmo and buy one with crystals. Yes I know one will eventually turn up under a rock, but it is just not worth waiting. And anyway spending a few dollars for a "free" game is good for my karma.
For that matter, the way you describe playing GN is pretty much how I spend gems in DV. the only massive gem spends I have made were for the giant habitats, the search for Jade, and the BEB event. Real money was spent for the last two, but more as a way of saying thank you to BF than because I needed to. The money I spent on the jade search would have bought me a jade, but I chose to help the search instead. I am still trying for first jade. I have spent almost as much in GN for the karma more than anything else.

For nuclear, I would expect floodlight and X-ray. But I don't have the latter so can't test it.

This is exactly the combo I'll be trying first.
And you're right about spending on these games for the karma. I'll be buying some crystals tonight to say thanks, and to hopefully make it worth their while to keep developing it.
Yep. It's a beast. Earns 352 a minute at Level 15 compared to 285 of the Astro. It's weapons for the battle arena are missiles that are good for ranged(obv) and health. Can't wait to get it into the arena.
Woot! I also have a 48 hr breeding from Franken/spray. Crossing fingers toes and eyes for us Fletch in hopes its a hydro so we can join the nuclear challenge.
Edited: sped up up Shane your down to just over 3 hrs.

Boo yah! Thanks so much to everyone for all the speed ups. Best of luck for yours Deb.
So far, X-ray + Floodlight, Microscope + Floodlight and Trainer + Laser has given me nothing.
Figuring it's not going to be a specific combo but one specific bot + another element/hybrid. So either a bot + a science bot/hybrid. Or a specific science bot + another element/hybrid. Seems like an obvious thing to say, but my point is it's probably not Floodlight + Science bot as I've given that two goes now. Moving on to Trainer because of the way it moves. Amy suggestions welcome.
