Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2009-08-02 14:02:53


While playing certain games, my controls have been getting stuck, mainly left/right arrow keys(or a/d on games with wasd controls). it seems to happen more often the more i die or refresh screens. The main example now is When Pigs Fly and that is making it extremely frustrating to play. Any idea what could be causing this?

To elaborate a little more
I start a new game
hit space to lift off the ground
move left or right
die
restart
hit space to lift off the ground
without hitting an arrow the pig moves what ever direction i was holding down when i last died

sometimes it happens without deaths, even if i am just changing direction. moving left then i let off left and hit right but dont move in either direction as if i was holding both down.

Anyone know an easy way to get money on NGR? I've done Story Mode and Challenge mode and just need to unlock everything to get that 100% Completion.

do them again until you have enough money.

Quick question, On Wylina's page it says this:

This method will delete all save games from games played on Newgrounds. Go to the Adobe Flash Settings Manager site. Go to the "Website Storage Settings Panel" and scroll down to "uploads.ungrounded.net". Select it and press "Delete Website" (See below).

This won't delete my medals, Will it?

Alloy on Normal difficulty is a pretty quick and easy 400. I did that over and over to get all the money i needed!

NO! Your medals are linked to your Newgrounds Account and not saved files on your computer!

I've been having a similar problem with Lastman. I'll be running and holding A and the Right arrow key and then all of a sudden the key being pressed won't register in the game for half a second so I suddenly slow down midjump or while running. Kind of annoying too because it's happened twice to me at the farthest spot I've gotten to so that's a bummer.

P.s. fuck Drop The Bomb so hard.. I got 9 spins without getting a bomb in bonus round.. then BAM! On the 10th spin it spits in my face and gives me 2 bombs! Then on top of that (cause at this point I'm praying it will bomb the other one in the next two spins for the medal) it doesn't give me a bomb in the next two spins.. but on the third spin after guess what it gives me? Piece of shit...

I feel your pain my friend. I feel your pain. At least we are not alone in this hell hole of a game.

I sent I really long pm to the author asking him to fix his shit basically.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2009-08-02 17:49:44


well not to mention i have to refresh the pop-up every damn time I finish a game for it because it does that glitch where I get back to the main menu and click Play Game, but then it opens up to some random question in the category that I last left off.. screwy shit. I vote we make a petition to ban medals involving pure luck.

Although while a petition to ban luck based medals has no solid foundation.. we do have a solid reason to ban broken and glitched medals. That's why I have taken it upon myself to start a petition for the banning of broken, glitched, or otherwise unachievable medals right here: Petition To Ban Broken Medals From NG's Medal System.

To sign this petition simply make a comment in the post saying "yes", or "agreed", or something similar to that.

Also I would check your internet connection to make sure it's not faulty or uneasy. You need a strong connection that doesn't falter to ensure that Newgrounds is being sent the necessary info stating that you did in fact receive said medals from the games or movies you were playing or watching.

i have to disagree with some of the medals to be removed...

the shift medals all worked... if they have stopped working... the author should be contacted and if he refuses to repair them... then removed them... seed of destruction should removed BOTH illiterate medals and / or repair the pancake medal... no just removed the one you dont have... drop the bomb should be changed so its not luck... and more timing to not get the bomb... the medal is not broken... is based on luck... so removing a medal based on luck beacuse you cant get it is once again bias... (i dont have 3 of them either but im not complaining)... the 4 heros in EPIC should be either fixed or removed...

so overall... they should fall into 3 areas

1. medal works fine for everyone at any time- leave it be
the medal works for everyone at any time and theres nothing wrong with it... leave it be

2. medal can NOT be obtained - either author fixes it or its removed
if a medal can NOT be obtained for any reson (thus making it unfair for users) it should either be fixed so i can be obtained... or removed..

3. medal works fine but people are not in agreement if its stupid to get...
(for example... if a game requires you to kill 10000000000 people and it would take days and days... or if a game is based on luck instead of skill... the author should either rethink the medal... repair the medal so its not based on luck or stupid amount of time *cough*... or remove it)

making a list of some of the problem medals which you havent got is not a good way of doing it...
i didnt know shift medals where broken... but alot of users still have them... the game should be fixed not all the medals removed... i personaly think the spend 3 days getting that 100 point medal should be removed beacuse its stupid... but the medal works and people have it... i think the drop the bomb medals are stupid as well beacuse they are all based on luck... the game itself is rather buggy and has a few glitches in it... but i dont think that the one medal you dont have should be removed... just beacuse you cant seem to get it... doesnt mean it should be removed... i can get three medals in that game... but im going to just leave it... its not worth playing a stupid game to get a handfull of medals... and complaing that some games should be removed beacuse YOU cant get them is just out of order... i agree with seed of destruction... the pancake medal is broken... the author agrees it is and refuses to fix it (falls into 2)... the illiterate medals should be removed beacuse not everyone can get them... (falls into 2)... but the drop the bomb medals fall into (3) where they work... but are stupid medals based on luck...

merh... do what you want but im not going to sign it beacuse i think its highly bias to what games you think should be de-medaled on the soild fact you cant get them...

Too many words

You forget the fact that many people already contacted the authors of the games with the medals in question, and they either didn't reply or didn't care to get them fixed. All of the medals he named are broken or unachievable for quite some time now, so it's of no use to go the "let's ask them to fix them first" way again. They had plenty of time to fix them, now it's removal day.

Yes, I even consider some of the Drop the Bomb medals as unachievable since they need an unbelievable amount of luck to get. Medals should NEVER be based on luck, regardless of the amount.

im just saying if they havent been already asked to... it should go...
1. medals dont work/cant be obtained... 2. contact author... 3. author Fixes medals /OR/ doesnt fix medals... 4. if author doesnt fix medals beacuse of lazyness or doesnt want to... remove medals

Medals should NEVER be based on luck

i agree... at first i thought it was timing... but then i found out no matter what i did... i still got the bomb... thus giving up on it beacuse its retarded to play a game for long amounts of time for something purely based on luck... i enjoy pigs might fly... thats a skill game... as well as lastman... they might be really hard to do... but the medals work and with pratice they can be obtained...

im still dont like the OCD+ one having to spend 3 days to get... thats a stupid medal... well... all the medals in that game are stupid to think about it...

I managed to get 10925 medal points before I was un-banned. Does that obligate me to be on here without getting inferior responses? :P

Why are medals not working half of the time? There's a lot of games in which I should have medals but I don't. I even beat Runes of Shalak twice and not a single medal appeared! Of course, since it was the second time, I was smart enough to take a picture. I had to cut it a little because my screen is really big but I left my login info and the game screen intact. I don't think that it's necessary to include the other pictures for the other medals but I will keep them on my computer just in case.

Okay, I'm copy-pasting this from Wylina's Table on contents, purely because someone asks this at least twice a week.

Q. Why won't medals register on NG?
A. - Make sure you are logged in and refresh the page.
- Try using pop-up mode
- Clear your cache and refresh.
- The medal is glitched.

The point of The Petition is to get the attention of NG Staff Members to recognize the broken medals and the authors failing to fix them. This recognition will hopefully lead to the disabling of these specific broken medals, or if the game is glitchy itself or has multiple broken medals then all medals for that game be removed until they have been fixed.

Nowhere in the petition do I state that medals should be removed simple because I can't get them. i have all 4 of the Shift 4 medals, but because they are currently broken, other people can not achieve them. That's unfair, and they should be removed until they have been fixed. When they are fixed and go back online hopefully everyone who has already achieved them will be given back the medals for those games, at least I hope that is a possibility.

The only medals I put on the list to be removed are 100% broken, glitched, or unachievable medals. I have not added any medals to the list to be removed that are based on me not personally being able to achieve them.

As far as Drop The Bomb (Medals) medals go, someone may start their own petition to have all purely luck based medals removed from Newgrounds, but to have those added to THIS petition would create a huge flaw in my argument. Those medals are achievable (with the exception of Someone Set Us Up The Bomb) but nonetheless a pain in the ass. Not a concern for THIS petition though.

Fear Unlimited Issue 2 had it's medals removed after we all worked so damn hard for them. Yes, it was upsetting for us who had already achieved all of the medals possible in that game, but it was unfair to us to have to do so much extra work to get medals that weren't working properly. It would have been more unfair to keep the medals up for others to have to do extra work as well. The medals were removed for a reason, they were faulty. These specific medals should be temporarily removed until repaired or permanently removed for those same reasons.

Oh, and the Literate/Illiterate medals are also of no concern to this petition. They are not broken, and the author did warn us that you could only get one or the other. They were designed that way for a reason, even if it does piss people off. I have the Illiterate medal (the one worth less points) and yes, it sucks, but I'll deal with it. However, I am currently working on a way of working in the fact that all the medals in that game are technically glitched because if you get the in game medal pop up for ANY of those medals and it doesn't register that first time on Newgrounds, then the medal is forever unattainable after that. So I will be working on getting that in.

So LegolaSS, do not accuse me of being a pathetic untalented gamer who's trying to cut corners to knock your medal points down while mine stay the same. Read the damn petition before publicly embarrassing yourself next time, k? Thanks.

If anyone has any suggestions to me please PM me instead of posting this stuff on the petition or on the forums. Thank you.

They are broken because it's possible to get both or none of the medals.

If you end tutorial between 5 and 12 seconds you're neither literate nor illiterate, and if you read this thread before you play the game and open it in 2 tabs you can be both literate and illiterate. Seem like a broken medals to me..

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2009-08-03 13:42:30


Well, l would suggest removing any medal which is glitched after giving the author 1 week to fix it...
Entire games shouldn't get all their medals removed IMO...unless none of them works of course
But still, l would aprreciate if the author of SOD (may he rot in Hell) did reset AND fix the L/IL medals so that we can get only one but we DO get one no matter what...as l said many times before, I DID get one of the two medals but it didn't register, so it was an epic fail..
For example, FUI2 could get just SOME medals removed, there was no need to remove even the working ones...even if the game was a glitchy mess.
And ALL the games should have a resend button.Matt was the pioneer and everyone should follow his example.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2009-08-03 14:28:26


I am all for the petition! I think it is incredibley unfair(to newgrounds not just me) that some people can have certain medals because they recieved them before they were glitched, or hacked to get them etc etc. I also have all shift 4 medals. If no one else is capable of getting them anymore, I think we should all lose them. I am ok with luck based medals, however there should be a progressive randomizer (the more you do it the less random it becomes) in place to make ensure that EVENTUALLY it can happen. I am not ok with luck based medals that are glitched anyways because then people spend hours waiting for the lucky spin(s) to find out it doesnt matter anyways.

Literate/Illiterate is a touchy situation. When I first played the game, I read all the medal descriptions, but not the author comments. I saw that you needed less than 5 seconds in tutorial to get one medal and more than 12 to get the other. My medal getting self immediatly grab the quickest one, then went right back to the main menu to try and get the other one, to my dissapointment that the other was then ungettable. I don't think it's fair that some people can end up with niether, while some people can open two tabs and get neither. Players shouldnt be punished(recieve less points) because they dont read tutorials. What if it was a foreign player who doesn't read english. The tutorial is useless for him! Grant it he wouldn't be able to read medal descriptions either but i still stand by the unfairness of that medal. I personally had NO IDEA whatsoever that medals could be programmed to only get one or the other(or niether) I was just out to get more points.
