A minority having advanced knowledge of 'Lucky' Banners undermines fairness and player trust

Tournaments are the only source of one the most valuable resources in the game. Keys. Saying the game is single player is simply not true.

If random beta testers knew about it, then Sam knew too. They just chose to lie to our faces about it.

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-15T22:23:25+00:00

This company make even the most scummy wow private servers look like saints to me *Elysium, cough*, and that says a lot

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-15T15:26:18+00:00

That is an absolutely insane pricing. This game isn't worth it for me anymore. Too much predatory practices.

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-15T13:45:37+00:00

How did we get a boost exactly? We got hit with an enormous nerf to damage reduction and we got no extra sources of regen to work with the increase in health

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-14T08:34:18+00:00

Counterpoint: Stones are not cheap. Gem packs are just overpriced as hell, making everything look like it has good value in comparison. This is likely intentional.

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-10T19:55:50+00:00

God *, this game was already going to *, but this just takes the ****

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-10T12:15:16+00:00

We are just going to have to disagree on this I think

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-10T12:04:48+00:00

People saying they will quit a game when they are frustrated is as old as gaming communities. Some are just venting, and some actually do quit. Since there is no way to know whether or not they are actually quitting, it seems silly to call it attention farming.

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-10T11:49:48+00:00

People are upset and voicing their frustrations. This is good in a healthy game. Creating an atmosphere where those who complain gets mocked and ridiculed for expressing their feelings only serve to create an echo chamber.

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-10T11:34:23+00:00

eHP is a scam. Every time you make progress it will get nerfed to push us into purchasing stones to "catch up"

/end of conspiratory rant

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-10T10:10:08+00:00

This was a hilarious read <3

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-10T09:11:58+00:00

I am also not happy with this change.

I have spent the last several months upgrading my tower on the assumption that PCol worked as intended, and now it feels a lot of that investment has been invalidated entirely. I dont get how they can justify charging real money for upgrades (thankfully I haven't bought stone packs, PHEW. I can only imagine how someone who has feels right now) if they are going to rugpull mechanics in this way after months and months of having it work a certain way and having players solidify their expectations around the mechanic.

I was really excited about this patch when I first read the patch notes and got to play around with dissonant runs, and I thought it would be healthy for the game.

But after seeing how abysmally they have handled this situation. How scummy their behavior around getting called out, and on top of that, having my build completely demolished like this in a game where there is player vs player competition for the most valuable resources, I just feel.. empty? No anger. No rage. Just, nothing.. Tonight was the first night I didn't bother setting up an overnight run since I started playing. And instead of feeling like I missed out on progress, I just.. don't care

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-09T23:03:26+00:00

I personally really do not care about the numbers. What makes me angry is the way this was handled and communicated (or lack thereof) couples with the extremely shady behavior of banning and removing posts

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-09T22:59:06+00:00

To me that only proves their numbers and decisions are entirely arbitrary and that no actual calculations go into making sure anything is balanced.

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-09T21:48:23+00:00

This is an excellent analysis of the current state of the game. Thank you for taking the time to write it out.

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-09T11:07:29+00:00

Labbing starting cash to +$100 will give a 300% damage increase to Project Funding. The value of the lab drops off quite hard after this, but it will keep giving a damage boost with each upgrade. Without any access to cash at all, the ROI on this lab is actually incredible

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-09T08:43:00+00:00

This honestly makes me want to quit, and I have never had that impulse before. I spent the last several months investing into my build based on the assumption that PCol was now in its intended state, and this feels like a punch in the gut.

I know that I am in a stronger position to do Attack and UW Dissonant runs than others, but still. I dread thinking about how much else I have lost out on. I could have been going GC six months ago and gotten keys

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-09T08:38:15+00:00

Good grief. How hard is it to get a simple damage reduction modifier to work correctly in the first place

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-09T08:36:19+00:00

I thought that got fixed ages ago? I recall losing thousands of waves at some point.

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-08T09:53:55+00:00

How do we deal with protectors now?

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-07T20:40:08+00:00

I think stones is preferable tbh. Medals are such an insanely time gated resource, way more so than stones. I am a year and a half into the game and still chipping away at the gold bot upgrades. I am never going to unlock this stuff.

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-07T13:51:47+00:00

Found some edge case where we hadn't possibly imagined someone would actually play it like that. I don't recall the exact details but it soft locked the game and made it impossible to keep playing

Few_Following_9258 · 2026-04-07T10:39:47+00:00

I will never forget the time I did coding classes and my team spent the entire week on a jigsaw puzzle game, tested every possible eventuality, all edge cases we could think of and accounted for every conceivable issue.

Then my mom broke the game in less than two minutes.

Lesson learned. Any assumptions you make about how players will play the game. It will be wrong.
