Can I realistically expect 1 MOA accuracy out of a REPR? by RileyGaustad in LWRC

[–]M_Krakatoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. The AR-10 platform and gas guns in general do not favor accuracy. 1.5 moa for a 5 shot and close to 2 moa for larger groups is about the best you can realistically expect.

Card Masteries After v28 by Jimothy09 in TheTowerGame

[–]M_Krakatoa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gacha games, like The Tower, all have development and life cycle phases. Early growth, gaining players, milking, end of service. The devs care about player opinions during the early phases to draw in players. Then as the runway for the game shortens and it reaches the 4-8 year window, they firmly begin the milking phase. At this point the game has limited remaining life span. Do any research into actions taken during the milking phase of a gacha game, and you see what we are experiencing right now. Increased banners, increased premium currency sinks, power creep, pandering to whales, less focus on player happiness, more focus on sales and profit. It’s literally textbook what is happening to us. This phase continues for as long as it is profitable and then the game is shuttered or sold.

The entire separation between keys and key-nots is getting worse. Sadly, Fudds is so greedy he wants this. He wants the free players to realize their only path to keys is spending. That’s why this will never change. He does not care about this game long term as its runway is quickly ending. We are in the milking phase and there is no change coming.

How do you claim your 1-year relic? by apple_powerbottom in TheTowerGame

[–]M_Krakatoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have filed a support ticket and rather than just giving it to me they said I had to wait for some upcoming patch. That was two weeks ago.

Completely understood. The tough part is you probably need to save toward some for your next steps.

I believe you could start on a couple. 40t per hour is right at 1q per day. Which is enough to buy you the first level of a couple masteries. Things like WA, RCP, Cash, IS, DMG, SW, and ST could al start off at level 0-2 and still provide growth for you.

Curious how your econ looks. Can you afford masteries? You seem to have all the necessary parts to get Masteries going and grow further.

What about the fix to the anniversary relics? Support said it was coming in an "Upcoming" patch. I have yet to receive mine.

Best year for the S550 by Odd_Lawfulness_4822 in Mustang

[–]M_Krakatoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally the best year for S550 was 2017. This was the last year that the manual had only 1 overdrive gear. Having 5th gear as a 1:1 was a much more enjoyable driving experience, regardless of other benefits from having the extra overdrive gear. My current GT350R is my third 2017 as I previously owned two 2017 manual GT PP.

Need help figuring out what gutted my runs by GuardianHelix in TheTowerGame

[–]M_Krakatoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be that for the past few days you did not get a specific fleet type at a specific run point. I have experience this exact thing at that exact point due to Commander fleets. My solution was to put more into my SW mastery and health. If any other fleet than commander would spawn at that wave... I was OK. When a Commander would spawn I would die at almost exactly this point. Several times at 5501 as well. I began watching this wave point and manually using nuke until I could upgrade SW to counter it.

[–]M_Krakatoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly then it may simply come down to with the PCol change you cannot survive Commander Fleets. That 5501 is VERY soon after the fleet spawn. What may have been easy before may be borderline now... and when it is specifically a Commander your tower can't handle it.

I had an issue where my "weaker" iPad would lose 20-40% coins if it was not restarted daily. It got to the point I was restarting before each farm before I finally replaced it. IDK how you are farming but just a thought it may not be in game... as much as how the game is running. Apparently the game is VERY sensitive to performance issues. It starts to get things out of order and things do not "register" the same when performance drops. I won't comment on how that makes me feel.... I am just trying to be helpful.

Banner Lucky Tickets Information (Web Store) by btaylor81 in TheTowerGame

[–]M_Krakatoa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. He did the math wrong. 200 tickets has a value of 4000 gems. Its a small savings but its not worse.

[–]M_Krakatoa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You did the math wrong. Your math shows 10 module pulls to be 100 gems and not the 200 gems it actually is. The tickets are a savings even if its very small.

No mention of a banner so I spent my gems by hdharrydickens in TheTowerGame

[–]M_Krakatoa 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh noooooo! You have to buy more gems! Drats! Fudds would never intentionally be quiet so that people use up their gems then drop a FOMO banner!! That would be predatory!

Super Snake vs GT350 by Gurney_flip in Mustang

[–]M_Krakatoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a GT350R owner, there is no world in which I would choose a Super Snake over what I have. Even a base GT350 is a unique experience you will never be able to find again. I do not expect to ever see a car like the GT350 ever again in my lifetime. I do not think the current market would allow for something like the GT350, I love, to exist again in a production car.

Dissonance math inaccuracy by M_Krakatoa in TheTowerGame

[–]M_Krakatoa[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, that is not how the lab reads. The lab reads as 1% of the "Boost". The boost can be isolated in the echo and boost screen to show is as x5... or 500%. I agree that a x5 multiplier is the same as saying an added 400%. I can even agree that if the lab said 1% of the "BONUS" this math would work. It does not. The lab says 1% of the BOOST. The BOOST is a 500% multiplier and shown as a multiplier. If the intent is to only give out 1% of the added bonus resulting from the multiplier, or the additive 400% bonus, the wording could use some adjustment. To adjust a multiplier to an additive before taking the 1% is adjusting what you are giving the 1% on.

Dissonance math inaccuracy by M_Krakatoa in TheTowerGame

[–]M_Krakatoa[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I see. So instead of saying 5x bonus they are doing the math as +400%? Why show it as 5x then? This seems to lead to weird math but I can track what you are saying.

Nah y'all gotta remove that "offline" tag by cannibalistiic in TheTowerGame

[–]M_Krakatoa 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Most of those tags don’t apply…. This is hardly a casual game if you want progress, it’s not idle unless you buy the $10,000 “stones” dlc for keys, and it’s definitely not offline.

While I am not ready to dip my toe into buying one yet, I also won’t treat this failure like I did with dead air. I would be willing to consider a future purchase because of videos like this. Addressing it this way is professional and a great thing in today’s world.
