Farming in Zomg! versus Lake Kindred: a comparison

[Omnileech]

The fastest way to earn money in Zomg! is commonly agreed to be smebbing. In a full, coordinated and seasoned group of 6 people Amped you're getting around 35,536,526.32 minute (20 minutes) on a typical, smooth Smeb Run In the video above is a typical smeb run. You can raise the gold per minute slightly higher on the faster runs, slower if you make mistakes. On top of that the amps used to make smebbing faster cost 31 billion gold for a deluxe pack upon writing this. That comes to 1,240,000,000 gold per amp use. You would lose money farming using this method.

An average Unamped run takes around 30 minutes and the average gold per minute would be around 25,000,000 per minute at the 30 minute mark.

I've also done some looking at Papa Saw Normal farming as that's also . Your runtime in a crew of 6 just under 5 minutes and you cannot speed that up and the average gold you can earn is around 122 million which comes to around 24,400,000 per minute That's assuming a constant crew with no leeching.

Meanwhile what I was doing isn't close to the fastest way to farm in Lake Kindred and I was earning 320,000,000 per minute

There's some serious problems with risk/reward when a team game gives out so much less than a solo game built on mindless grinding. Either Lake Kindred deserves a serious nerfing or Zomg! needs a serious boost. Or both, I dunno.

lol both
lk is op with the gold grants tho people would argue its not enough
zomg is just a revived game from like 2005 with "adjusted" payouts for inflation
its not worth it to play zomg imo

[Xavior Hellzwing]

Adjustments to gold payouts are in the works, including games, and should hit around mid June, if everything goes off without a hitch.

Omni,
Thank you for the stats ;D
I frather play zOMG over Lake Kindred. That is cause you have the interactions with friends during the game. Lake Kindred is great for helping getting gold to support the power ups I have been using though its never enough to cover it fully... since I am abusing power ups like crazy @.@

@Mon I agree that Gaia should in crease EB reward. The efforts to make a crew/assigning.

I mean sure it's slower if you're using a mediocre tree-killer and fighting every single kin you come up against (including every single Phantom, which everyone knows takes a decent amount of time) instead of just trees; maybe try the "comparison" again with a watermeat or ambi and only fight trees.

Also, people like what they like; some people don't like working with a team and depending on others and would rather do their own thing. It's a matter of personal preference.

Doing that comparison would probably see that you can earn 20 times more than Zomg instead of 10.

Ahhh, sorry I misread your first post (I realllly need to go to bed) and saw some commas vs. decimals in different places with the gold numbers and mistook the exclamation point at the end of zOMG! as actual punctuation and mistakenly thought you were saying that zOMG was a better way of earning gold.
You're completely right; LK is a gold-making machine. And yeah, like someone else was saying, staff says that they're going to even things out and will probably nerf the hell out of LK when the new currency is introduced.

[Sumthing Awesum]

I like LK better than zOMG!, zOMG! is full of up tight ******** faces that wont add you if you don't have the right ring(s). So trying to get any gold in zOMG! solo is far slower than LK.

Except zOMG is actually, y'know, fun

It's not really worthwhile for grinding, but if I'm looking to do something with friends, then I'll play zOMG all day.
