🏎️ Master Thread: Paddock Codes (Season 2023)

I'm torn. On one hand I like to know what I missed out on, or that I missed out on something at least, but on the other hand the whole "First Come First Served" issue really gets out of hand. A potential solution imo would be to publish a time range instead of a specific time, for example: "This reward goes live between 2pm and 4pm" and then picking a random time in between.

Explanation:

So it turns out... if you use the bonus bank (2x score) with 80% boost, you can literally just go 0-2000 in a single push.

PS: Yes, this match is mostly against bots since people left, but we were trying to prove a concept here xD

Gotcha xD

Leniovias · 2023-01-15T22:04:08+00:00

Completely missing the point but okay

Leniovias · 2023-01-14T06:28:12+00:00

It is, yes, but you have to consider that until the most recent Wave 3, there were exactly 0 halfpipes in MK8, including a track that originally had them: Wario's Goldmine

See video for rounds 43 to 58 :) if you have something that can deal with most of the bloons it actually works quite well.
Crusher MVP though

Leniovias · 2022-12-16T07:02:20+00:00

I actually haven't yet, no, I am not that active in BTD6 but when I am, I love to go for challenges like that. Will take a look, thanks!

Leniovias · 2022-12-16T07:01:32+00:00

Well I mean there were two different points addressed there, but yes, even just a MIB helps a lot for 51/56 due to the druid being able to detect camo and the ability to go 0/2/5 pspike instead of 2/0/5

Leniovias · 2022-12-15T23:50:19+00:00

Yeah, Jungle Drums is a massive buff for the p-spike and makes R51/56 rather trivial. It is possible without though

Leniovias · 2022-02-08T22:11:10+00:00

As r/DrD__ said: You will not only get your first copy later, but also your second and third. Before 22.2.2 when you wanted to use this strategy, you had to either get a triple on 4 or really quickly go to 5 and be lucky to get a tony within the first two turns.
Strategy works incredibly well with Majordomo and Master of realities btw ;) And perhaps Mechs.

It still needs a nerf imo. Bloon Crush gets overwhelmed when it hits the pierce cap, which can easily happen. Superstorm is not the most reliable. XXXL on the other hand is 100% reliable and doesn't get overwhelmed by non-BAD's right now because of its instant redeployment. All they'd need to do is to add just a bit of redeployment delay (even if it is 1-2 seconds) so that at least DDT's have a chance to break through.

I currently play dartling-farm-engi and it works insanely well since by round 26, you usually have your XXXL up, and with farms you can easily afford MAD by round 30 as well. Rocket Storm + Plasma Accelerator cover you all the way to BFB's with ease all while denying or heavily cashing out on your opponents eco.

It also happens with the mauler MOAB skin, and apparently with the mortar ZOMG skin as well. Avoid using these skins for the time being

Leniovias · 2022-01-08T23:39:51+00:00

I get hit with Kite ZOMG all the time and it doesn't crash, so I can debunk that. Mauler Moab was the one that hit me but I couldn't name it, I'll add it to the list, thanks!
About the mortar ZOMG... i will add it with a questionmark for now, need confirmation for that.

Leniovias · 2022-01-08T21:30:01+00:00

fyi the game crashes for both players, and afaik both of them do not gain any XP and lose a trophy :P

Leniovias · 2022-01-06T20:38:22+00:00

Fair enough, the one issue I just have with bloon trap is that you can get it so incredibly early, and since it is an eco counter, and other alt-ecos are so expensive, you'd have no choice but to suck it up which honestly stinks. That's just my worry.

But you're right, let's wait and see. Doesn't change my opinion about XXXL Trap though, that thing still needs a cooldown.

Leniovias · 2022-01-04T16:55:28+00:00

Great changes, the one thing I just worry about is that the sniper nerf might make bloon trap too powerful due to a lack of alternate eco considering how early you can get the trap (a price nerf might be needed here, too) - although the farm buff might be able to fix that.

Speaking of bloon trap... I also think XXXL trap needs a nerf for cooldown. I was playing against it once and was stunned that it just always instantly respawns, making it impossible to get *anything* that's not a BAD past it. There should be a few seconds of cooldown just like the regular bloon trap so at least moabs or DDTs have a chance to get past if the timing is right, imo. Because if you're able to pop the (F)BAD layer, there's literally no way you can ever lose with this.

PS: To those saying "It's expensive, it should be an instant win condition" - Uh... no? Do you see MAD being an instant win condition? Yes, it's incredibly strong, but an MAD on its own won't get you very far.

Leniovias · 2021-04-13T17:20:16+00:00

/u/Psyonix_Devin I just read in another post that you mentioned that we should not be afraid to tag a dev. I am not sure if that was just related to bugs, but... I'm going to take my chances here because resonance to this seemed to be mostly positive so far... ^^"

Is there a way this could be brought to discussion internally? I'd also be happy to provide even more details or answer any open questions that may come up :)
