[Sparks] Promotion possibilities

[Mighty Dove]

Hi all,

I’m trying to work out what is needed to get 105% promotion on one character. Shortly after the sparks was introduced (about a week and a half later) I noticed certain users getting full gold wings promotion on the leaderboard. Characters like ‘Toaster’ and ‘KKK’.

Now I know I’ve only recently started playing with accessories but my question is am I missing another part of this game that makes a difference?

How is full promotion achieved in such a short space of time?

@jasebree made some great infographics showing exactly what it takes. Look at the beginning of this thread

ABT infographics

If I remember correctly, wasn’t there a somewhat expensive bundle for sale with a ridiculous amount of sparks included? That might do it. I don’t think you are missing anything. The only way to get sparks is to earn the daily 500, grab them in the token exchange, or buy them in the bundles.

Plus, there is a good possibility that those people are filthy cheaters and hacked the game…

@mightydove The answer is simple – hacking/modding. On Twitter I saw a guy posting screenshots about the game and I saw that his spark, pig, coin and gem amounts were nearly a billion each.

@mighty-red-1 Was it recent? I am curious to see the screenshots as well. Any link?

[Mighty Red]

@datguygamer Here’s the latest screenshot the guy posted (it’s in Russian):

@mighty-red-1 So apparently in other languages, the font is different for currency and text. Huh.

Anyways, where did you find this guy? Does he have a profile?

[Mighty Red]

@datguygamer Like I said, I found him on Twitter. I’m not gonna post a link to his profile though.

[datguygamer]

@mighty-red-1 I understand and it’s for the best because otherwise it may gather unwanted attention. Anyways, thanks for the info posted.

You could probably find it using a google reverse image search if you really wanted to.

Thanks @joel687 – that stuff @jasebree did is a good reference.

@mighty-red-1 I think you’re right based on the reference above there is no way to get 105% in such a short space of time. 500 sparks from daily challenges. Then when the event occurs looking at 500 + 750 + 1500 sparks. No way*

@datguygamer just search the image on Google. Clue: KS.

@optimuspig snap!

* you know I thought there were detections in the game for this. I remember once, which I will admit to, back in April / May last year I got bored / frustrated of waiting for my upgrades to happen even though I paid (no real money) to supe them up. I changed the time on my device and got penalised for it (it may have been the 2nd time, first was a warning). Learnt my lesson then but looks like cheaters do prosper. Oh well.

I doubt the cheaters are hacking the games to get ahead in playing, but rather to cause havoc in the comps. That’s their enjoyment in this game. If they get caught, they just start again under a new screen name.

Oops, I wasn’t paying attention and accidentally posted the twitter link I found. Sorry about that.

To whomever moderates: feel free to delete the post above

[Joel]

The guy who you mentioned posts with an abt hashtag to make himself easy to find. I don’t think he cares if anyone knows. It is like he is daring Rovio to do something

[datguygamer]

Eh, he is too open for himself.
