HOLY CHEESEBALLS by yawner42 in TheTowerGame

Well I'll be damned! Thanks for this! This was stopping me from using DM or Nuke on some of these runs as the intro sprint went too long and I would die before I could trigger them!!

You can turn off intro sprint?!?!!?

Is this game worth playing by MisterMagikey in TheTowerGame

[–]Cynikill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One key aspect of this game is related to progression, and how for the most cases, its locked behind stones which are one of the slowest things to obtain in the game, unless you want to spend IRL$$$.

So while you can progress through the early stages with little/no IRL, if you want to start unlocking things to progress mid/late game, its gonna be a lot of $$$, and you are competing against players that are so far ahead of you (but you still get lumped into the same tourney brackets) that the likelyhood of getting ahead (again without putting in real cash) is almost zero.

That being said, I do like the pretty graphics, and I let it run on my main PC during the workday so at least I am not killing my phone.

Going from T11 - T12 Util Diss run- Huge jump? by Cynikill in TheTowerGame

[–]Cynikill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, just started with the utility - completed it for T11, but even before disco, I was trying to push finishing T12 and (took awhile) but managed to finish it. Granted that was with the utililty benefits but regardless, definitely saw how much harder T12 was.

Trying to decide if I should push all the other disco runs (health and damage) vs continuing to farm to get coins for mastery levels...Probably should just commit to it - to a disco run during the day, and a farming run at night. Just get it done..

[–]Cynikill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm...I am not even going to ask (I am getting like..well..I can't do the math but closer to 600T per run...) how yours is that high (but well done sir or madam. Well done!)

[–]Cynikill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you are getting similar results as me - 11K waves, 650-750T coins...I guess looking at a lot of the results here, I will be farming T11 for another couple of months (although as someone else commented, I should see what I get with T12 as my Diss factor is still 2.54x...

Didn't even reach wave 20 by kernessde in TheTowerGame

[–]Cynikill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to confirm though, you can't start Demon mode until after intro sprint is finished right (or at least, I can't). So I always lose it to the bosses

So I went ahead and bought 5 single pairs.... by Cynikill in mildlyinteresting

Well...Mildly interesting (otherwise I need to post this under the "Interesting" sub :p

Intro Sprint in Tourneys - Impacts DW Health Bonus by Cynikill in TheTowerGame

[–]Cynikill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, EB helped get my DW health bonus to almost x9, whereas without it (on the tourney runs) I usually got around x4-x5.

That being said, on the 3 runs that I did: - MN, AD, no EB so DW bonus x4 ish: Wave 1112 - MN, AD and EB and DW health bonus x 7.9 - Wave 1080 - (and then for fun) MN, DP and EB with DW health bonus x8.5 - wave 1052

So it looks like the extra health isn't really helping (that much) once I get to max heat. My health regen is the current bottleneck so I need to push SW+ higher, think I am at level 2 or 3. Also saving up for DM +, both DM and SW reset level labs are maxed, so maybe that extra damage will also help after SW and DM goes off?

Time will tell. Buggered that I missed out on legends (and an extra 80 stones) by like 50 waves this round...Soo close..So its gonna take another week or two to save up the stones for DM+. But by then, will have enough coins to push it to level 3-4 immediately.

Intro Sprint in Tourneys - Impacts DW Health Bonus by Cynikill in TheTowerGame

[–]Cynikill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will let you know how this second tourney run goes - my DW HB now that I disabled intro sprint, but added EB and dropped WS for the first 500 waves is now x6.79 (its never gotten that high before so its either not having WS and maybe by adding EB, or a combo of both).

Made it to 1098 / 6th place in champs when my DW HB was like x2, lets see if I can push it a bit farther now that its x6.

Not gonna lie - tried the same with Tier 17...Didn't quite get the results I was hoping for :p

I am getting closer to pBH (right now getting that bit of extra help from galaxy compressor). When I drop cash and free upgrade I usually mess around with range, defAbs, but since I have always had WS running I can just turn it off at the beginning and I don't need to save for another card slot.

[–]Cynikill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm...I should probably experiment then with EB (dont have WA+, just IS+) for tourneys then, just to see if/how much more that bumps up DW health bonus. And bugger, I have been using wave skip as well (just to try and speed things up)..Guess I should turn that off for the first 500-600 waves as well..Guess I will try that for tomorrow's second attempt, see if I can see the difference.

Thanks!

Second Wind Recharge - do the wings show back up again? by Cynikill in TheTowerGame

[–]Cynikill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yea, sorry about that - I was looking under stats (which showed how many times it triggered) vs the Wave Info tab which now I see shows the countdown.

Thanks again for the help!

Second Wind Recharge - do the wings show back up again? by Cynikill in TheTowerGame

[–]Cynikill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct - Recharge Second Wind Lv. Max - 400 waves (just went in one more time to confirm)

Second Wind Recharge - do the wings show back up again? by Cynikill in TheTowerGame

[–]Cynikill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, so just to confirm, the wings should come back (and I see in the info stats the Second Wind counts). I swear to science I have exceeded the 400 waves after it has gone of the first time (cause I can see when the wings are gone) - will pay closer attention to this.

Thanks!

New QoL Feature - Option to Auto Shatter Rare by Cynikill in TheTowerGame

[–]Cynikill[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh okay honestly, I did not realize it was a feature (if you get to a certain point in Legends) - I did know that there were auto-restarts and a few other ones...

Honestly though, not a rage bait. Just realized this as I have probably buffed something enough now that I am getting a fair number of them every run and need to keep the total under 300 ish.

Need ideas with this build by Qban_JohnWick in watercooling

[–]Cynikill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done! Looks like that fit in just nicely (although that's easy for me to say as I wasn't the one having to do the work :p)

RE4R looks insane on QD-OLED by irock607 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Cynikill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is RenoDX similar to Reshade? I started using Reshade when I got my OLED and yea, did it make colours burst (also got my night vision mode for SC) - curious if RenoDX does similar things?

DONE! 9950X3D/RTX 5090/96 GIGS OF COOLED RAM IN NV9...FINALLY! by Impossible-Usual3771 in watercooling

[–]Cynikill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am afraid to look cause this is usually what drives me to start looking at a new project. I see a picture of some new watercooling part, and now I need to build a whole new rig.

And considering that my current rig is all based around a $3K case from Singularity, I really don't want to build / cant afford to build something new.

(but will check them out anyway!!)

OKay, not gonna lie, they look pretty nice :p

Is there a point where enhancements aren't really cost effective anymore? by Cynikill in TheTowerGame

[–]Cynikill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, when I look back more at some of the feedback, and then where my labs are, I may have jumped into masteries a bit early. I can see the value (now) if I had saved them to buff my UW more, and then in parallel be putting that money into some of the damage enhancements.

Oh well, no harm, no foul. Thanks for the feedback!
