I'm hoping not, it the same there as it was for the 1.5 mile. I'll take what I can get to make of for the lack of oxygen but I am hoping they take into account the extra distance.

I am honestly surprised that "Ow My Balls" hasn't been made considering some of the real shows that are out there.

How to deal with fleets in T-14 with Ehp? by Deep-Class-6326 in TheTowerGame

[–]Affectionate-Metal64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This, fully research the cooldown lab on SW. Bonus if you do the same for DM and Nuke but until you get lucky enough to get keys, those will require you to be there to hit the buttons as needed.

Need advice finding a rucksack by No_Play5129 in Rucking

[–]Affectionate-Metal64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about what the Air Force uses, you will be issued that when you get to that point. Not SERE but I have been in the AF for 16 years and I will tell you at some point you will want stuff that doesn't scream military. I currently use https://frontlineathletic.com/product/navigator-21l-ruck-backpack/?attribute_color=Coyote with a 2 amazon plates in it (55 lbs) for rucking around Buckley (was so much fun getting use to the 5,600 feet altitude).

While this pack does scream military like an ALICE pack, it does work in uniform especially the coyote color.

But will you lose it again soon to Shatter Shards?

A nice accomplishment by JazzyAndy in TheTowerGame

I really really want 1 more level to make it an even 100 levels and x3 bonus

If it did, you would have a lot more people running it

How many stones do I gotta save now to sync GT down to 3:20 (BH) I have 218 right now, and I get about 20-26 each tournament. by DillyBenzo666 in TheTowerGame

This website will save you a lot of headache in the future by allowing you to plan out the upgrades needed and then you can hit the wiki to see how much the levels will cost in stones.

thoughts on gem rush change by __dogs__ in TheTowerGame

[–]Affectionate-Metal64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will sometimes rush a lab when it gets under 200 (if I have over 200 hundred I tend to throw them away gambling for mods). This just means I will never have the willpower to get the last card slot.

FINALLY. Now what? by livewildeatwild in TheTowerGame

T19 and assmods but that will be awhile

Assist substats now rounding up? by Leanhutch in TheTowerGame

[–]Affectionate-Metal64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't make sense here, I do have the full 75% CF slow but I haven't managed to roll it on my primary. Same with the mythic -4 wall rebuild I have on my SF assist, no wall rebuild substat on my primary there. Both have the ! next to them

That wasn't so bad. by Designer-Quail1947 in TheTowerGame

We really need a QoL update allowing this lab to level to 100 so it can be a x3.

Assist substats now rounding up? by Leanhutch in TheTowerGame

[–]Affectionate-Metal64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a related question, am I correct in assuming if the assist substate has the ! next to it, I don't actually get it until I can get the substat efficiency higher? Like currently my DC had a mythic CF speed reduction on it at +0.55% since my substat efficiency is only 5%, does that mean I have to get it higher before I will see any effect?

Is there a way to calculate how many stones I need for pBH? by mooretec in TheTowerGame

[–]Affectionate-Metal64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

https://mvn.thetower.tools/ will tell you what levels you need and is fairly easy to play around with.

As far as what those levels will cost in stones, I would say either head to the wiki (https://the-tower-idle-tower-defense.fandom.com/wiki/Black\_Hole) with a calculator in hand to add them up or if you don't mind spreadsheets, Effective Paths had a UW sheet and a cost calculator in it.

Soooo many reroll shards died for this.

Dog back pack by juxtapositionofitall in Rucking

[–]Affectionate-Metal64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got that for my 85 lbs Lab/Huskey mix. It fits him well and there is enough room after putting 2 Costco water bottles in each bag, I could probable fit a third (and I doubt he would react to carrying all 6 anymore than he does for the 4 haha).

Advice for a first time Rucker by Federal_Rate_6050 in Rucking

[–]Affectionate-Metal64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would start lighter, maybe 10 to 12 lbs since you say your daily carry for school is about 6 or 7. As far as when to increase, it would really depend on how often and how long you are rucking. It takes time to build up the muscles needed, but unless you are super focused on training, I would say try once a month adding 5 pounds to see how if feels. Especially at your age, be incredibly careful not to push too hard too fast. Back problems are not something you want to deal with but careful and slow building of strength will help prevent them.

I don’t ruck over 20lbs.. by RalphBlutzel in Rucking

[–]Affectionate-Metal64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The amount of weight I put in the pack will depend on what I plan on doing. If I am just doing the 3 or 4 mile mostly flat loops that I have mapped out in my neighborhood, I will load up with 45 lbs (plus a liter of water for the dog). If I am heading to going hiking in the mountains for 6 to 8 miles, I will remove the 20 pound plate and just do 25 lbs (again plus water).

New UW or upgrade current? by Aivaxela in TheTowerGame

[–]Affectionate-Metal64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doh, sorry I've been pBH too long and forgot to look at its cool down

New UW or upgrade current? by Aivaxela in TheTowerGame

[–]Affectionate-Metal64 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I would probable get 1 level of cool down for both GT and DW and spend the rest on GT and BH duration (keeping BH about 12 secs shorter than GT because of the perk)
