All Blogs by Britt

Since I apparently have endless opinions about Royale, I’m making a series of blogs to break down my perspective, what I’ve learned, and what I wish I knew sooner. Hopefully it could help others who'd like to play or want to play again! Here's a link to blog #1: https://kovaze.com/blog/70443 Here's a link to blog #3: https://kovaze.com/blog/70668 Category: The Middle Phase – Alliances, Movement, and Trying to IRL This is the phase where the bloodbath ends, everyone spreads out across the map, and the game turns into a mix of strategy, stamina management, and hoping nobody jumps you while you are doing something normal like working, on a phone call, or cooking your wife a grilled cheese sandwich on her birthday (cough, cough, Evan in his Royale...I'm sorry). 1. You need people. A lot of people. I honestly think this phase requires a large alliance, something like 15 people, or at the very least being well connected enough in the cast (which I considered myself to be) that most people are not looking to attack you. This part of the game feels very social or at the very least being on good terms with people makes a huge difference. Shout out to the friends I sat with for a while at various points here Chase Dream NaughtyNacho Jaded sweetheart Cristi koolness234 Malibu @Brxan issyiss Mp231 Icebeast poof 2. The map matters more than you think. Literally, it's all about the map. Everyone starts moving around the map, which is set up like an Excel grid and very much not the Grabber grid, which I learned the hard way lol NaughtyNacho...so letters across the top and numbers down the page. 3. Playing while offline is rough. And it is the worst part of this whole experience for me. And it is time I talk about that. I was at work for a large portion of this phase, but I was connected enough socially that people let me move and collect, and I was not constantly worried. When I did get worried I had to sit there constantly REFRESHING the screen to see if someone was in my area or came through my area trying to find me. Yes, if you are not refreshing people can find you unless you are constantly refreshing and you'd never know. If I had been in a cast where I did not know many people, trying to play this phase while working would have been extremely hard. You will get jumped. Hands down. There is really no way to defend yourself unless you are refreshing constantly to see if someone enters your part of the map and starts using weapons on you. There is no like "I'm at work doing real life stuff" mode, which is so hard and unfortunate and I think the ONE MAJOR thing that needs looked at and possibly modified. Sin 4. Camo mode is helpful, but not a guarantee. After about 15 minutes offline you go camo and cannot be attacked directly, but if people find you they can still use weapons and take you out very quickly (back to my point that if you go offline for work or sleep, there's no way to protect yourself). This actually happened to me once, and if I had not popped back online when I did, I would not have made it as far as I did...I got lucky. 5. This was honestly the hardest part of the game for me. Of everything so far, the lack of defense while offline was by far the most frustrating part. Not everyone can sit and click refresh all day, and this phase really punishes you if you cannot. 6. Movement is everything. Seriously, everything. If you are online and can defend yourself, the number one defense in this entire game is movement. Your stamina is key. Energy packs are basically liquid gold. There are these things called Kovazebees you can use to move yourself and others in you area that can come in clutch. And there's teleport, which I didn't find many of but seriously the best thing in the whole game imo. 7. Stamina management is critical, and a little confusing. The lower your stamina gets, the longer it takes to refill, which feels backwards to me and to a lot of other players. My number one piece of advice is always make sure you can move (stamina, energy packs, Kovazebees, teleport). Always. If you cannot move and someone jumps you, you are pretty much done. TLDR: Real life is the real final boss. Movement is the best defense and offence in Royale. Period. Argue with me, idgaf, it's true. Comp scores mean nothing. If you get jumped while you are at work, sleeping, eating, in a cast you don't feel really safe with... you are in trouble. The game does not care that you are being a good employee or sleeping. I'm not saying that we should be able to hide from the game for hours and hours a day but if we are truly offline I don't know why weapons can still be used for the amount of people and weapons in the game. Maybe a sleep mode set to a max of 6 hours offline, maybe we can be idol with no damage for a few hours, or we start the game with 3 sleep pills or something...idk...I am tired. LOL

Since I apparently have endless opinions about Royale, I’m making a series of blogs to break down my perspective, what I’ve learned, and what I wish I knew sooner. Hopefully it could help others who'd like to play or want to play again! Category: The Bloodbath… also known as “what was I thinking?” The very first decision in the game is whether to enter the bloodbath or flee, and I learned quickly that this choice can humble you fast. 1. The bloodbath is not for the weak… or the mediocre comp scorer (me). I chose the bloodbath and immediately questioned my life choices. It is extremely likely, almost guaranteed, that you will be attacked here. At this point you barely have items, so you are basically volunteering for chaos. 2. Yes, items (pop ups) spawn fast but so are the 15 to 20 other people grabbing them. Items pop quickly, which sounds great in theory. In reality, you are surrounded by a crowd of people thinking the exact same thing, and everyone is scrambling at once. It turns into pure madness. 3. Fleeing is the calmer, smarter option for a lot of players. If you flee, remember you only have 100 stamina and need to move several spots. My advice is to flee with a group and head toward a specific area of the map. Early in the game there is nothing wrong with choosing survival over heroics, especially if comps are not your strength. 4. Know what kind of player you are before you choose. If you like fighting and want fast item spawns, go for the bloodbath and embrace the chaos. If you prefer strategy and positioning, fleeing is probably the better move. 5. It is short, but it feels wild. The bloodbath only lasts about 30 minutes, but it feels like a full episode of reality TV. People will absolutely attack you and then say they are doing it so they do not get attacked themselves, which is both ridiculous and completely on brand for this phase of the game. So that’s the opening phase from my perspective. Next blog (coming a bit later) I’ll talk about the middle of the game, which is where the chaos settles down and the real strategy starts to show. TLDR: Beginning of the game strategy from my perspective... I entered the bloodbath, questioned my choices immediately, and would like to formally recommend thinking before clicking.

from a staff member and they told you that this document was from HR and they said you should sign it, would you just take their word for it?

If I buy something for 60% off, I made money. Because... The original price was $100, I saved $60, spent $40. $60 saved -$40 spent = $20 made This is why I shop the sales, it's profitable.

on any of my bingo cards I proceed to rage quit. It's over.

and complete forget why you walked into the room. Really brain.?

THANK YOU to all who supported my Kouncil election adventure! I truly look forward to supporting our community in this way and am excited to learn more about the role! First things first though, I will leverage my position to ensure that all Kovazians can play chain pop whenever they want. ;)

Please

you guys are all anxious to get started! Good Luck! Test out all the things for us who will play after you and do a good job! Remember that you are paving the way for all future hunger games and be patient!

But I am wishing everyone that got picked so much fun <3

avi I have acceptable to enter the Hunger Games Arena. Shop owners help.

Is that right now the games page is nice and symmetric. The addition of another game will make it not so. And I am stressed.

I just got my mail from Effie Trinket! Who else?

what the graphic will look like...

the random gifs made from Royale - like the one with the arrow to the face on the site that shall not be named.

They had a lady standing outside in the cold greeting people as they walked in saying that their truck had not come in from Dallas in two days and we should treat this shopping experience as more of a random adventure than actual grocery shopping. It stuck with me lol.

Check them out if you feel like it :) https://kovaze.com/Elections

actually ever seen an exploding tree? I am so serious. And curious. And baffled.

In the real game of survivor, the tribe-mates who are helpful at camp usually are viewed as valuable, giving them a bit of a morale boost with the tribe. Thought is, why don’t we get rewarded with morale when we take the action of helping the tribe? Why does our morale only go down until we eat? Could we gain morale for hunting and collecting water for the tribe? Isn’t that the point or am I way off the point?
