Collection of Energy and Stamina Stats from Properties

Collection of Energy and Stamina Stats from Properties

Updated 06/26/2012 at 12:11

 

Good News!
 
We heard your feedback and have enhanced the collection of Stamina and Energy received from your London and Brazil properties.

Now you will be able to receive the Stamina / Energy Stats from your London and Brazil properties even if they exceed the maximum value of Stamina/Energy stats in your account.

For example: If the Stamina stats on your account are 2,500/2,500 and at the same time, you also have a property from which you can collect additional 1,000 Stamina.
If you successfully collect the available 1,000 Stamina from your property, the net available Stamina in your account would appear as 3,500/2,500.

Please note that you should use these additional (surplus) stats within one hour of collecting from your property.

If the additional stats are unused even after an hour of collection from your property, They will be reset to the maximum value. (in the above example – if you do not use 3,500/2,500 Stamina in an hour of collecting from property, it will be reset to 2,500/2,500)

A: In order to craft items in Hellish Hydraulics, you’ll need to earn Hydraulic Cylinders in any of the following ways:

Feed Posts: You can earn up to 30 parts per day by having your friends click on your feeds. One Feed post can get you a maximum of 10 parts in a day.

Jobs: Get up to 5 parts a day as loot drops while doing jobs.

The daily limit timers reset at 00:00:00 AM PST.

The total number of unused Hydraulic Cylinders (building parts) in your account will be displayed in the “Parts Owned” section of the Feature:




You can also purchase Hydraulic Cylinders using Reward Points.

Using the available parts in your account, you can both queue any of the 2 craftable items for building (increasing the total number of items obtained at the end of the event) and upgrade the level of items (build better items with higher stats).  Read further for details.

You can choose any combination of builds and upgrades.




Q: Which items are available for Building? Is there a Maximum limit on number of items I can craft?
A: There are 2 Items which you can build and upgrade using the parts available in your account:

1. Hydraulic Cannon (Better Mafia Attack Strength and adds +1 and +2 Personal Attack stats when on Ruby and Emerald level)

2. Hydraulic Hippo (Better Mafia Defense Strength and adds +1 and +2 Personal Defense stats when on Ruby and Emerald level)

The number of parts required to build items are as follows:



Q:  Can I reallocate the parts used for building to upgrade an item and vice-versa?
A: Allocation of parts for used for either building or upgrading an item is final. You cannot re-allocate the parts once you decide to build/upgrade an item.

Q: I used the parts to “Build” items, but those were not added to my inventory.
A: Please note that you will not receive items in your inventory while the event is running. You will need to collect the items at the end of the event.
 
Q: If I "Build" some items and spend parts to "Upgrade" later, does it upgrade all the "built" items?
A: Yes, you can use the "Build" / "Upgrade" options in any order you want.

For example: If you have already built 10 items on Bronze Tier and use 10 parts to upgrade them to Silver, all the 10 built items will be upgraded to Silver Tier.

Q: When can I collect the items which are queued for building? What if I have unused parts left in my account?
A: Once the “Collect After:” timer ends (July 2^nd 00:00 AM onwards), you will see an option to collect from the event and will no longer be able to earn additional parts.



You’ll get 5 additional days from July 2^nd Midnight Pacific Time to use the remaining parts or to purchase parts and build/upgrade items if you wish to do so.

Clicking on Collect will open another window with more options:



Q: Can I build/upgrade more items after I click on the “Collect” button?

TRICK: To Fix Unresponse Flash Plugin In Chrome Browser

Internal Flash plugin integration hits Google Chrome

We have discussing already how To Fix Unsecure Content In Chrome Browser before. now i want to explained how To Fix Unresponse Flash Plugin In Chrome Browser

 

What started off as musings about the possible arrival of internal plug-ins in Google Chrome has already come to fruition. Both Adobe and Google have officially announced that the non-NPAPI plug-in version of Flash is ready for us to test in the latest developer channel build of Chrome.

If you've already got the build installed, you need to add a command line switch to enable the magic: --enable-internal-flash. Need help adding the switch? Check our tutorial post for more details.

Once the switch has been flipped, you'll see the confirmation dialog pictured above. There seem to be some performance benefits to the internal plugin -- the HD clip I tested on YouTube never reached more than 19% CPU utilization.

According to Adobe, "Moving forward, Google will be including Flash Player in Chrome so users will always have the most current release and a safer and more seamless experience." It makes sense for Google to start bundling the internal plug-in for a number of reasons. The internal plug-in will also automatically update itself using Chrome's built-in mechanism, eliminating the need for out-of-browser Flash updating.

The official Adobe post concludes by saying, "Our hope is that the robust integration between Chrome and Flash Player will serve as a showcase for more consistent, seamless, and efficient Web browsing experiences. We feel that this significant effort by both Google and Adobe will directly improve the speed of innovation and move the Web forward, benefiting the entire community of developers and end-users."
