Delete post THIS IS A SPINNER or cancel THIS IS A SPINNER metadata Hello Multiversers! **Further reduce research times** with a brand new ad-powered research speedup for the ad pod. The new feature allows you to watch additional ads for an individual Research in the Ad Pod in order to reduce that Tube’s current research time by up to 60%. Once the research is completed the boost will reset, permitting you to again reduce the research time of any combo placed into that Tube. **Research Boost Levels:** _(The ad-powered research chamber will still require a single ad view to begin research; this ad does not apply to research boost progression)_ * 1 ad view - progress research by 5% * 2 ad views - progress research by 10% (total 15%) * 3 ad views - progress research by 15% (total 30%) * 4 ad views - progress research by 15% (total 45%) * 5 ad views - progress research by 15% (total 60% This new Research Ad Pod Speedup will work on top of the Ad Bonus and is **not** replacing the existing Research Boost given to all Research Tubes by the Ad Bonus. Research Ad Pod Speedups will be automatically awarded to research in the Ad Pod for any VIP Players as long as their VIP Pass is active. **Let us know if you have any questions or feedback. Thanks!** metadata We are aware of an issue that causes the button to read "Finish Now" instead of "Speed Up" as it is intended to read. This is being investigated and we hope to have it fixed soon. metadata This would be great if we could actually get any ads to play. As it stands I've been going without ads for 2,5 months straight. Messaging support didn't help me at all, as it's a 'there are no ads available in your region' issue and not an issue with my computer or my account. As such, all this does is decrease the competitiveness of my account, as has been the case with most of these types of changes over the past months. If this keeps going the game will become unplayable to me as a pure f2p player. I'm sure that's no great concern to the powers that be, but it's a shame nonetheless. We'll make do until it becomes intenable and leave to find some other pastime. I still thought it was worth mentioning that your ad-system sounds great except when it doesn't work... With this change, the difference in research speed is 4.5 times faster with ads compared to researching without ads, explicitly: 2 researches in 2 days without ads, 9 researches in 2 days with all ads! metadata Will this fix the ad problem many people are experiencing in the web browser version? (my self including) reffering to https://www.kongregate.com/forums/727068-technical-issues-feedback/topics/1870743-no-ads-again-folks-anyone-else-with-the-same which still hasn't been adressed by one mod? metadata Oh great... Not. If you want me to watch ads, how about you fix that bloody web browser ad issue that has been around since mid November? https://www.kongregate.com/forums/727068-technical-issues-feedback/topics/1870743-no-ads-again-folks-anyone-else-with-the-same metadata My OCD is upset. I cannot keep all 3 tubes in sync and the ad pod won't start at an even number of hours. I'm sort of kidding, but not really. metadata I haven't been able to see any ads whatsoever since 26.Nov.2019.So I'm pretty frustrated.... metadata no ads for quite some time metadata FIX. THE. BLOODY. ADS! metadata So basically, the "new" feature is unusable. metadata now peoplethat can get ads will have more power, while the rest of us get junk. )-: metadata Oh greeeeeeaaatttt.... a feature that depends on ads, of which I am allowed one every 24 hours. FIX THE ADS. metadata When my ads don’t work I keep hitting the button until they finally engage, that usually does the trick. Think it’s a bandwidth throttling issue on our end metadata Same as everyone else, I can't get ads to show more than 5 or 10% of the time -- so it's impossible to keep up with any research. Fix the ad platform for the browser version please, before players quit! metadata Ads, I have heard... legends... long time ago my ancestors could watch ads for specific bonusses in research or increased golden turret gains. But it's been sooo long. Generations have come and gone. I don't even believe it ever existed any more. They're just myths from a long last time (november 2019). How I wish I could experience it though...What you are telling me Beardy, it sounds wonderful. But alas... metadata This post has been removed by an administrator or moderator metadata > _Originally posted by **[HumanIlls](/forums/726779/topics/1889193?page=1#13319713):**_ > When my ads don’t work I keep hitting the button until they finally engage, that usually does the trick. Think it’s a bandwidth throttling issue on our end This is what I do and always works for me metadata Since the ad pod will be completing so much faster than the other pods, it would be helpful if it would trigger the **"Red !"** on the Research Island on the home screen. metadata Great cause I was running out of speedups................. How about ads to reduce CM research times metadata Yet more ads. Makes me glad I have VIP status. I feel sorry for players who can’t afford $10 a month, especially if the ads won’t play for them. metadata 5 ads? Why not 3? Game progress is only by adding more ads? Bad decision inmho. metadata I watch a total of 6 ads went to research a card and it only did 50%. Also it's telling me to research all my musical cards that I have already researched. metadata > *Originally posted by **[CynthiaS25](/forums/727066/topics/1889193?page=1#13319782)**:* > Yet more ads.

It's not that I can't afford VIP, I just refuse to give Kong any more money. They don't care enough to stop cheaters so I don't care enough to give them $10 a month. metadata You add more functions for a feature that isn't working for many people for several weeks now? metadata I watch the damn ads and receive no bonus « Prev
