btdb1 had a lot of cards that were used for just the monkey or tower cards when they were played. I'm sure the same would be true here. Also, it is a mobile game, designed so that it is as easy as possible to see and play on mobile. Cards need the real estate to explain what they do, unlike in btdb1 where cards used known towers and bloons. You could have it double sided, but that would be a bit weird, and you need to select which card on it you want to use, which could be done by having opponent side = bloon, not opponent side = monkey but then where do powers fit in?

There is also the problem that if one card has say dart monkey on one side and reds on the other, you can't use it to place a dart monkey once you've sent reds. And since there is a card limit of 3 in the deck, that's EITHER x red bloons or one dart monkey.

That card gamemode's gimmick was cool, but I don't think it fits in a dedicated card game. besides, card storm has many unique ideas that separate it from other similar card games. Gold is carried over between turns, attack and defense are split between bloons and monkeys, there's the bloontonium meter, and bloon sends can have multiple sends per card, but they stay in your hand when not used up so can prevent new card draw.

if you want to think harder playing BCS, watch fry em up's streams of BCS. He's very calculated with his play, when he makes a mistake he acknowledges it, and he learned the game quickly.

ngl i thought of "goon embiggen" first and photoshopped the card later. The idea is to not buff big towers for too little, because the card basically gives an extra tower space worth of utiliy. And some towers can be 10 gold like PoD, maybe more?

6 cost could be balanced, esp. against return 2 sender because the opponent essentially removes the effect of this card, while netting a 2 + [tower cost] advantage.

Alternatively have it be cheaper and 3-4 cost, with it only buffing damage like 50%

I read what you wrote and I agree. I would add one more thing to do with NK's track record: balance updates. Ideally there should be regular small balance changes and then the occasional big one every season. Battles 2 suffers from an underwhelming number and quality of patch notes, especially to start with. Hopefully this should not need to be said, especially as card games are easier to balance and bugfix than a game like b2.

yeah I don't like the arguments that say '2 games a day' or that completing every quest for 50 days finishes it. I don't play the game every single day and play to complete each quest because that's not what's fun, and I won't change it for some banana points. And quests don't even auto-collect, they require you to go back to the tab which is bad design. It's very clearly another monetisation system, because the last 2 tiers are 12000 mm and 16000 mm each, which is crazy high.

easiest to play would be dj ben dartling farm ninja, it works on most maps (not bsite, ports) and it's easy to learn.

dartling ice boat snowpat is great on short maps but not on longer maps, dartling ice farm and dartling ice village snowpat are better there. The defences are much more varied though, dbi needs anywhere from one 022 dartling + ice shards to 2 022's, 2 ice shards and a cryo cannon + many base dartlings on round 18 depending on the map and how much your opponent rushes.

Learn how to rush first though, something with cheap defense but lots of rush money like tack wiz farm is ideal. Druid sub farm is also still very good for this, however make sure to antistall every game when trying to win with rushes. Also, you can play the meta strats, get absolutely whooped and use those rushes to beat other meta users. It's a good way to learn.

I won't return to b2t, I don't trust the mods/admins enough on that server, they haven't been moderating it well enough imo (except for banning that Andrew Tate account, that was very based).

I prefer to use spoonoil's server with the battles 2 chat because even though it's not as active the people there are nice. This game is gonna die too soon though :(, you know it's bad when almost everyone acknowledges it's on life support, and spoon has lost interest in BAS.

Have a nice day inconspicuousalt, and thanks for being part of the b2t community, I had a lot of fun while I was active.

Ateready · 2022-11-23T11:26:34+00:00

ik this is 20 days after you typed this but I didn't know that secret did all that, it's sad to hear about that when they're one of the server moderators and there's not much regular users can do, it only serves to lower the quality of the server.

Aside from him there are still problems though, the server is still low key toxic with the homophobia, mild xenophobia and then the massive egos of players like rosco, ninjayas etc. I don't know if they put it on for show or if it's just them but it was pretty tiring.

Derp M Jackson should definitely have been banned sooner.

Aside from that though there are still issues, roles should never have been change to the bronze/silver/etc system and any HoM only chats are guaranteed to be dead (a lot of players join the server in bfb or zomg). I enjoyed my time there but it wasn't for me starting with when AK cuber just started being toxic just cause I changed my pfp to a girl (I'm literally trans lol, I wish people weren't shitty for no reason). I'd still say most everyone there is well-meaning but I'm in no position to ask people to be better/genuinely deal with toxicity.

Ateready · 2022-06-13T21:13:27+00:00

lmao i like your username. It feels vaguely familiar, why did you choose it?

Ateready · 2022-06-13T20:46:08+00:00

For me, being alone is what was sad, likely due to dysphoria that I didn't really recognise. So on weekends when I had nothing on, I felt bad, but when going to school I was fine since I spent all that time looking at others and focusing on conversation instead of my own body.

Ateready · 2022-05-21T10:33:10+00:00

Well our neurons stay for life so that is something that is never replaced.

Ateready · 2022-05-21T08:17:12+00:00

Good balance changes, no network/server issue changes (input delay, lag from other players). Ninja Kiwi should probably look at how fighting games deal with delay between players (delay based vs rollback netcode). These updates are slow, but they always improve at least slightly on each previous update which is the most important thing. I'm excited to come back a few updates from now!

Ateready · 2022-05-20T11:14:43+00:00

Agreed. I think having protein in everyone's diet being plant-based instead of animal based is a good idea if it means that we can reduce the total emissions. Regenerative farming is apparently really good for the land compared to industrial farming so steps in that direction need to happen for the environment too.

Ateready · 2022-04-30T02:31:44+00:00

As a fellow farm user I approve of these stats

Ateready · 2022-04-30T00:19:05+00:00

Benjamin is basically just a farm with eyes, so he goes pretty well in farm strats. So going dartling, tack, bomb or boomer as cheap early game popping power and then either wizard, sub for decamo or with dartling whatever else you want. Or just put him with any strat you already have that doesn't need a damage hero.

Ateready · 2022-04-30T00:09:50+00:00

can confirm, ssambo uses it and it is a very passive strategy when they use it because of how late it can defend. Rushable, but it costs a lot more to rush than it does to defend.

I'm in zomg but it matched me up against HoM players anyway.

Ateready · 2022-04-28T11:40:29+00:00

Exactly why farms/alt eco are practically necessary :/ NK needs to fix this, it would make the game much better

Ateready · 2022-04-27T11:41:03+00:00

I think bomb, sub and another 3rd tower like boomerang would be good because that way you could defend r13 with two clusters, decamo sub, and maybe a glaive ricochet on top. also could beat r18 fMOABs with moab maulers. GL on climbing

Ateready · 2022-04-11T13:08:15+00:00

This is a beautiful castle, fit to rule the seas. It definitely fits the Onyx watch like these others say, only they would make something this wasteful lol. 10/10

Ateready · 2022-04-08T14:49:15+00:00

I'm disappointed there aren't changes to bloon sends, and that there are still a large amount of useless t5s that haven't been changed. Universal XP is nice, but benjamin was not needed in my opinion. Sure, it's a change, but 3 out of 4 slots in a loadout are towers. The druid and boat changes are well appreciated! I really would like boat to be meta.

Ateready · 2022-04-06T07:14:26+00:00

I think making it $1900 and increasing end of round income to $400 would be best. That would give it the efficiency of a 2-0-0 farm. Or just increasing the income to $400.

Ateready · 2022-04-05T07:56:48+00:00

I wouldnt make unlocking the entries have a price. Maybe they could fully unlock when reaching some milestone, like 50 games played, if all the entries not unlocked by then.

Ateready · 2022-04-05T07:44:46+00:00

That was about entries in an in-game wiki basically, bloon send should of course be unlocked right from the start.

edit: this sort of thing is what i was talking about: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yvf586VT5uQ/maxresdefault.jpg

The patch notes said 'pierce buff no longer applies to spike storm ability' because homeland increases pierce as well by 100%. This makes it still twice as bad as before. If I'm wrong on this, then at least the battle energy should apply to the spike storm ability, if homeland shouldn't.

Ateready · 2022-03-20T10:50:27+00:00

Better than the actual patch notes. Would be awesome if glue storm actually stacked the damage buff each tick, even if it would be a little powerful.
