As you likely know, one of my recent blogs announced that new colour levels will be coming to Tengaged. These levels will be implemented tomorrow, Sunday, April 4th. The time that they will be implemented is unclear as it will depend on when randomize finalizes the coding. However, I received confirmation from him a few hours ago that they will be in the set of updates that are coming tomorrow. I can also confirm that with those updates, there will be an update to games payouts. Let's dive into some of the stuff that will be coming.
After I announced the new colour levels (along with the requirements to purchase them), a large discussion occurred about whether these were reasonable/attainable. I want to say here that the moderation team (myself, koolness234 and CheapCheep) would never recommend something that we thought Tengaged would not enjoy. We listened to your feedback and a discussion with randomize occurred. I can confirm that he has agreed to alter the karma requirements for the levels. Here are the updates:
As you'll notice, the first two (Super Gold and Platinum) have largely been reduced for users to have the ability to attain these a bit quicker. The others have remained higher (although been decreased by 5000 each). We agreed that this curve struck a balance between higher ranked users having something to strive for, while also allowing users who are lower ranked to not feel as if it is entirely impossible.
I recognize some of you may still view these as high requirements + expensive (on the T$ side of things), but I hope you recognize that this is a large step in the right direction based on the feedback that was provided.
Updated Games Payouts for Week-Long Games
______________________________________________________________________________
In addition to this, there have been some alterations for the games payouts for week-long games. Here are the games that have changed:
NOTE: The only payouts reflected in the table are the ones that changed. The payouts for the other games (and the placements for these games that are not listed) can be found in the FAQ.
I understand this means there are still no changes to games that (in my opinion) still need updating, such as frookies and fastings. However, just know that we hear you on this and will continue to take things into consideration.
Overall, I hope this is noted as a large step in the right direction based on the feedback that users have provided since the announcement. As always, let us know if you have any questions. I'll tag some people below who were vocal about this in the last few days.
BY THE WAY, I just read this comment in my casting that you guys might wanna think about regarding the Holographica color level, idk if something could be done about it at this point but...

Indeed i am johnny
Also sihz ill never be able to buy thag 1st 1. Even if i got to it i cant look at it long due to my epilepsy
So stars, which is a game where people can win without good gameplay gets a 66% boost
but hunger, where there’s almost 2x the people to beat and needs skill and strategy only gets an extra 14%?
Honestly the survivor payout kinda didn't need to be changed, 40k was already a ton considering half the game got it and now it'll be even more. just a minor thing but i dont think it needed to be changed
Could you all make the fastings like they were on Tengaged Brazil? I remember on there they would give Karma and t's for 1st through 9th place. i think it was like 1 karma for 9th place, 2 karma for 8th place, 3 karma for 7th place, 4 karma for 6th place, 5 karma for 5th place, then 6 karma for 4th place. Then I think it gave 20 karma for 1st place, 10 for 2nd place, and like 8 for 3rd place. It was something like that.
Stars will now be unattainable for those not well endowed with karma. brandonpinzu literally the only good game is now without use to me. I SUCK at shitty flash games. :(
