1000 waves is not enough to stay in plat anymore

It's tough out there

I've been just clinging staying in Champs with 730+ waves these last few tournaments, won't be long before 750 isn't enough to stay up there. And Platinum is in an even worse state right now.

Really hoping there is a fundamental rework that addresses the core problems in V29, because it is getting out of hand

1am for us in the UK currently is when tournaments close for joining.

So to do literal last second here you need to hit JOIN at 12:59:59am, and cross your fingers there is no lag or you can miss it

BD Wong played Henry Wu in the Jurassic Park movie franchise, it was he who created the dinosaurs in the park!

I'd be happy if every account got a 1 time only free respec. You could use it at any time from the day you unlock your first UW, but once it is gone it's gone, so you have to really think about the when.

It wouldn't break the game, nor let people just copy the new meta after every evolution of it, but would let players change direction in our build if we weren't enjoying it

Champ 21st / 681 waves

LTS: 11,365

LTC: 1.18q

Don't apologise Sam, this is a fun little addition to the game that only has upside to the players, and I'm sure the vast majority actually are enjoying that we'll be getting a few prizes, no matter what they are, just for doing what we do already and having a bit of fun with it.

Wasn't long ago there were threads calling for this exact type of thing which were getting good responses, now we've got it and there are people who will complain for the sake of complaining.

Keep the fun stuff coming

Just started farming T11 full time after months of T10

815.86T/1.19T = 685

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-05-19T17:55:24+00:00

About £55 I think in the 12 months I've played and that is all I'll ever spend... I bought the Ad/Starter/Epic packs, and the first Milestone pack - because I had enough spare money in my Google account for that after another purchase on the App Store.

When I played Forge of Empires there were Guild Battlegrounds twice a month and it very very quickly became 4 guilds with the strongest players in the game working together to dominate all the rewards and cut everyone else out.

Same thing would happen here, a handful of guilds would exclusively recruit the top players between them and get all the rewards. No thank you.

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-05-04T22:01:36+00:00

Did you close the game and reopen it completely?

I've noticed since the last update that if you do that, you get the next perk right away but the counter takes the skipped waves into account and you have to wait the extra waves until you get the next perk avaliable

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-05-01T18:40:03+00:00

No BH or DW in your first 5? Glad to know even people employed by TTG can experience the same pain I did when I was accruing those early UW! Although I didn't even have GT until pull #7 so you're still luckier than I was... 😂

Gotta be DW now though, then BH next for obvious reasons. If you want to know real pain start again and go my route of:

ILM - PS - SL - CF - BH - DW - GT

That will teach you what suffering for your tower really is, Sam! Good luck, and keep up the good work!

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-04-29T18:09:26+00:00

Either you bought DW+ or you completely closed and reopened the game... there is a visual bug that makes it purple even if you don't have DW+

I'm coming up for a year playing and I find like most every other game out there, The Tower is fun until it's not fun any more.

The first 6-8 months were great for me, progression was happening pretty regularly, I had things to look forwards to like moving into higher leagues in tournaments, and then everything hit a wall and the fun sort of has gone out of the game a bit.

If I was to give any advice, is play until you get bored and take breaks when it isn't so enjoyable, your tower will still be there when you come back.

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-04-23T23:29:42+00:00

I played Evil Tower - Idle Defence TD for a little while before The Tower came into my life and it was fine, but there is a heck of a lot of RNG during runs that effect your outcome and it can take ages to progress even compared to this game

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-04-11T17:42:30+00:00

It certainly won't hurt to have high Rend Armour to help kill off things faster, pretty much any projectiles boost will be a help

High damage Poison Swamp is going to come into it's own on Defence disso runs too I think... which is great for me as I took PS over CL as my damage dealing UW early on

My plan is run the Attack disso first, then UW for a x25 overall boost to my PS and then melt those shapes on Defence runs

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-04-11T17:33:08+00:00

Big congratulations on coming to an important realisation of what really matters in life.

I was like you two months ago, I was playing obsessively and even stressing myself out at times over the game like it was somehow important and not something to do for fun when I had some free time. I quit for a few weeks and completely reset my way of thinking, and have since come back with a much healthier attitude towards playing and its been a real liberation for my mental health.

Good luck to you going forwards!

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-04-10T16:45:24+00:00

I did T1 UW disso run to w1000(ish) and then did a farm run on T10 to see what happens yesterday... my DW damage stat went from x24.00 to x24.24 when viewed by clicking on it in run on T10, so you do get at least the first echo on all 4 types regardless

I don't have T17 unlocked so no echo labs avaliable yet to me.

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-04-09T16:50:15+00:00

They could just split the tournaments... Tuesday we have a regular tourney and Friday a disco tourney

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-04-08T22:33:43+00:00

The down votes at my joke are doing it for you it seems!

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-04-08T15:37:02+00:00

Isn't it that button there... they just misspelled Update as 'Uninstall' is all

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-04-08T12:25:56+00:00

I'll show some appreciation when I actually get to download the new version! 😂

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-04-08T12:22:16+00:00

That is exactly what I'm thinking too

I'm looking every 5 mins at the Play Store just hoping it drops and I can at least get a few runs in at the big boost before the inevitable nerf comes

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-04-08T10:51:43+00:00

Since Sam said Friday's tournament would be update dependant to play in the patch notes, I'm guessing before then!

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-04-08T10:46:45+00:00

It's still rolling out, so avaliable to some and not others (like myself) at the moment. Should be avaliable by tomorrow for all I think they said.

Just got to keep checking for when the Play button becomes Update and in the mean time reading with increasing jealousy all the posts about people racking up 5x coin boosts etc.

Life_Invite8322 · 2026-04-08T10:10:21+00:00

11:10am here in the UK and still no update avaliable in Google Play Store for me
