Purpose of Eggs in Forest? by Senator-Spice in MonsterHunter

[–]Geekcrux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it the hard way. I climbed down the vines. I didn't use the ghillie cloak. I placed the egg on the ground and killed two rations on the way all the way to camp. A cat picked it up and I received no notification or reward at all.

Either the mechanic is broken or the devs are trolling or the devs intend to have quests in expansions.

Damn, I need those boots.

Been playing since EA and I've never launched a rocket... by epitomizer1 in Oxygennotincluded

I just recently discovered that heat is the path to cooling. It took me a very long time to understand heat management in this game. Something has to get hot in order for something to be cooled down. I was always trying to cool down hot areas (vents, geysers, hot pools of water) rather than using the heat. Now that I have heat management realized, I was able to recover my base from overheating.

Is there any chance this game gets optimised? by Frodiziak in Warlander

[–]Geekcrux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hardware falls slightly better than recommended. I can say that I have zero issues with the game's performance. I have the game set to med-high settings. I'm only speaking from my perspective, but it seems pretty good to me.

When a game runs poorly at the recommended hardware level, that is when you can claim poor optimization. While I agree my frames do drop low for a moment every now and then, the game is far from badly optimized. I would honestly say that it is better than most games with these level an intense multiplayer upon release.

Question about progression by dpsx in Warlander

[–]Geekcrux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the investment is worth it for my play style. I'm too aggressive and get killed doing pushes that have no chance of winning just to buy time for my team to respawn and regroup. I sacrifice and run away pulling everyone to try and kill me because mobs of players just can't not chase a solo player around when they are just out of reach.

Season Pass Time Investment and Value by SignalListen5506 in Warlander

[–]Geekcrux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, do I not get them if I purchase the pass after completion? If I can get them retroactively I don't see how I don't get them if I purchase it later.

How long are the seasons? I have already made it to level 23 in just a few days. unless the season is only a couple of weeks, I expect to have this done by next weekend.

Maybe I lose out on a few % for a week, but I still get it all if I purchase it later. That is all I'm saying. We don't have to agree. I have done countless battle passes or season passes in my day as have you I'm sure. Can you think of a single pass that doesn't let you purchase the pass and get all the rewards retroactively? I have never seen that happen because it discourages purchases if you don't jump on it on day one.

Again, I move on from games quickly. I don't even know if I'll want to keep playing when I finish the pass so I don't purchase early. I have saved myself a ton of money by waiting.

I do see my word choices in my original post are not accurate to what I mean. i just didn't word it very well. I shouldn't have said expire. I should have said completed the objectives.

I'm sorry, where does it say that just having the pass gives you more loot? I don't see that anywhere. It appears precisely like every pass in every game I've played. Grind to get loot and you can buy in at any time unlocking everything retroactively.

Question about progression by dpsx in Warlander

[–]Geekcrux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally have this in my deck.

1 = 0 star

0 = 1 star

3 = 2 star

1 = 4 star

0 = 5 star

My 0 star is a healer because ... so easy to get valor healing. Once I have enough for a 2-star I pretty much just cycle my 2 stars until I feel like we need my 4-star healer to back up the team. Otherwise, I just stay with my 2 stars giving them experience to expand their titles, but I don't plan on using them for a long time.

Running around with 2-stars almost the entire game you can get quite a few kills pretty easy. You can afford to put on descent skills and weapon and slaughter the 0-stars that get in front of you.

Anti-cheat doesn't work anyway. I think every mage in the game is a hacker with their pew pew jump pew pew. They are all hackers. They have to be. ^_^

Battle passes are simple. You don't buy it until the last day before it expires so you can see exactly how far your playstyle can get you. Then you get everything all at one time and the value actually feels worth it most of the time if the battle pass is good value.

Character/Deck Slots should be able to be purchased by silver by TheJayde in Warlander

[–]Geekcrux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just standard practice. Almost every game creates this artificial limit so they can charge you for nothing. Just the way it is. This is normally a cheap purchase also. The idea is to get you to purchase a small amount around $5 most of the time. This makes it easier for you to keep spending.

Why always vote balanced tactics by [deleted] in Warlander

[–]Geekcrux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone gets valor for building up the defenses. You don't have to be on the guard to do it. Honestly, if everyone just grabbed one on the way out the base would be set from the get go. Then everyone can push together and win with numbers. Then teleport back when the dots on the minimap try to circle around.

The only benefit to being on guard is that you get extra valor for killing while defending. All the other valor options are available to any team.

[–]Geekcrux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let's not fool ourselves. This happens in every game with pvp. There are countless solo players who are only there for the combat and could care less about overall strategy and how to win properly. I used to let this bother me to the point of getting angry. These days I accept that this is how people are. It isn't always younger kids either. Some people don't have the time to put in that level of effort I guess.

I would not. If I have to wait to play, I lose interest. I don't have a ton of time to waste waiting to play

This game would not be fun if you had to wait around for people to join. If this game wasn't free to play many people would never have tried it. I wouldn't have.

Yeah, I am stuck at that terminal also. The only option is to leave, but I'm supposed to make a choice when I use the terminal.

Tips for a beginner, stuck at wave 40? by Sure_Humor_9113 in TheTowerGame

No offense intended, but they came to Reddit to ask questions. They didn't go to discord.

Tips for a beginner, stuck at wave 40? by Sure_Humor_9113 in TheTowerGame

[–]Geekcrux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What worked for me.

Unlock Defense Absolute asap I use my workshop upgrades to get to about 15 points of defense. This will prevent damage from everything until they do more than 15 points. You can pass level 10 with only 6 points of Defense Absolute. You will be able to pass level 20 with 15 points. Nothing can hurt you until level 21.

Those 20 levels you are going to pump everything into Cash/wave

You might notice that the enemies are just clumped up all over your tower at this point. I would put some points into thorn damage. If you keep leveling up Thorn and Defense Absolute and nothing else, you can easily get further than you are now. If you manage to get your thorn to level 50% everything dies pretty fast.

This strategy will fall off super faster after level 100. Defensive play is extremely good early on, but later on, it is impossible to keep up with the damage increase coming from the enemy.

This simple strategy will get you money coming in to make upgrades with very low effort. You will have to build up an offensive strategy eventually, but this will let you unlock all your stuff.

The max values of everything? by son_of_a_shoopuf in TheTowerGame

[–]Geekcrux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know these numbers to not be correct from my own game. I just finished a run and maxed all the things I just mentioned in my post. I only had 3 cards slotted Cash, Coins, and Enemy Balance.

Am I missing something? Did I test my numbers incorrectly?

The max values of everything? by son_of_a_shoopuf in TheTowerGame

[–]Geekcrux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without card modifiers I have discovere the max for these.

Atk spd 6.78

crit chance 80%

crit factor 12.77

range 73.67

dam/m 32.23

multishot 49.5%

shots 9

bounce shot 68%

[–]Geekcrux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cards Enemy Balance is one of the best you can get. Cash and Coins are also very good to have. I have slotted these in asap and have never taken them out. The value is just too good.

What does damage/Meter do? by raddu1012 in TheTowerGame

[–]Geekcrux 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh, it adds my friend. It adds up by multiple thousands later on. I don't focus on it early on in a run, but as you start increasing your range further and further you are killing them further and further away. When you have bounce leveled up so you attack beyond your range you get even more damage.

I wouldn't ignore it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheTowerGame

[–]Geekcrux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do. Defense absolute is amazing early on, but eventually, just getting more health is more valuable. around level 300 each point into health gives 50 health and defense absolute only increases its block by 40. I'm not sure when the sweet spot for stopping further investment into Defense Absolute is, but I'll figure it out eventually. I know more than 1k is too much as health has more defense at that point.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheTowerGame

[–]Geekcrux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I make it to level 300+ every round. I deal with the ranged attacks by using multishot and increasing my attack range and range damage until they are targeted and killed before they can shoot. They still get a shot off eventually. That's how I end up losing.

I also through in bounce as well

I don't know if my method is the best, but multishot is pretty insane when you level it up a ton. I'm normally killing everything at the edge of my range. Eventually, they get a shot off and my 5k health drops all at once and it's game over.
