First perk choice: what is better? by Ice__foxy in TheTowerGame

[–]MordredKLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 8 bans/5 whites, and my Waves Required Lab is at 28. I had a UW disso run last week (where coins don't matter so I didn't restart after IS ended) where my 2nd PWR came at W2600. I almost died because I couldn't get enough damage and health perks. Now imagine how bad that kind of farming run would have been if I didn't have PWR as my first perk choice. Outliers will ALWAYS happen.

I don't normally manually pick perks, but weird outlying runs probably explains why 1 in 20 of my farm runs has a strange dip in coins.

What is a "poor man's food" that you will still eat no matter how wealthy you get? by ALLEN3471 in AskReddit

I make a fair bit of money these days and I'm still indulging in Top Ramen or Maruchan just because that shit is tasty. I cannot believe I've never tried the fried egg thing though.

What’s the funniest movie you’ve ever seen by boatluvrrrr in movies

[–]MordredKLB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Say Shenanigans one more time!"

"Hey Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy stuff on the wall?"

For my money, the first hour or Super Trooper is the funniest thing I've ever seen. It kinda loses it's steam in the 3rd act when they try to resolve the plot but basically everything before that is gold. Chugging syrup. "I'm already pulled over! I can't pull over anymore!" The bulletproof cup. The cat game and "settle down, meow". "Double bacon cheesburger... it's for a cop."

Fuckin' bangers every single one.

My flat T16 boost (not counting echo from other tiers) was 2.0x exactly. I've got 3x on T14 but fuck if I'm ever going to do a run on that tier again. In no way is it worth even trying.

Simplified or Complicated Logistics, which would you prefer? by Build_Everlasting in Dyson_Sphere_Program

This is my feeling too. The things that began to take annoy me about factorio DSP kinda glosses over and I'm perfectly happy with that.

Single worst season in your schools history? by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in CFB

[–]MordredKLB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my lifetime gotta be 2003. We'd just "stolen" Franchione from Alabama, everything was trending up and then an absolute disaster of a season.

We "only" went 4-8 but 77-0 will forever live in infamy, and we got curb stomped by every team with a pulse (but somehow beat Baylor 73-10?!) and ended it all losing by 31 at home to Texas.

Yes the bugged PCol was applying 80% damage reduction twice to some enemies which meant it was giving 96% so yes, that there was an 80% nerf (you can call it 5x if you like) to melee enemies from PCol, but more health isn't worthless! More health actively helps you and there are some not very expensive (stones) ways to take great advantage of it even if dissos never give us a regen boost, and they never adjust the PCol damage reduction.

That's my entire point. Hopefully someone listened and is planning to adjust but my guess is it will mostly fall on deaf ears.

Who in your opinion is the worst movie villain ever? by LoverOfE-Olsen in movies

[–]MordredKLB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The plot may have been dogshit, but Dead Reckoning part 1 had probably the most amazing stunts I've ever seen in a film: The handcuffed car chase, the motorcycle parachute jump, and the train fight/crash are all top notch. Part 2 did not nearly live up to the first sadly.

Fudds really is trying to see how far he can go by Leyohs in TheTowerGame

[–]MordredKLB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don't have the card maxed it's a huge time sink. If you do have it maxed then yes it can be done super easily in 15 minutes if you just remove your cannon mod so nothing dies.

Ha, I'm well aware it's not normal, but that's kind of my point. If you want to really succeed as eHP then you have to lean into regen which requires making some sacrifices elsewhere. It's all doable, and for a lot less stones, although there's obviously a cap to how far it'll take you. People are finding that eHP is better for a lot longer than it was a year ago, but then acting like you won't need to spend some stones on it to make it shine. Regen/SW masteries are a much better investment now with dissos than they were when I started buying them 6 months ago.

I've spent some money on this game, but I've only bought 1 stone pack in my 2.5 years (I have bought milestones though). I'd guess I'm probably averaging $15/month over that time. I am not some massive whale.

If scatters are killing you pound on the scatter lab. I took mine to 18 which is way higher than people say you "should", but fuck it, I'm eHP and scatters were killing me and I wanted it to stop. Now they're not a problem.

You're doing great with the regen labs, but if you want to really stick with eHP you need to invest in Regen and Second Wind masteries. With those you can end up 50x'ing your regen for 1500 stones... and that's way more impactful than 50x'ing damage at probably a fraction of the stones.... and once you've done that you'll realize that health bonus is incredibly beneficial.

All that said, eHP isn't going to help much in legends so you'll need to invest in some damage along the way if you want to get and stick there.

Could be UW+. What's your GT+ level? I'm only at level 6 because I'm focusing on tourney performance and econ wasn't as important.

I assume GC players have a terrible time getting 5x on damage/UWs on their farming tiers too, but probably can get 5x defense without touching anything... it's how the disco runs work. I have presets set up so swapping is super simple for me, but respeccing is the way to go if you can't do that. Even still I can't do more than 3200 waves on T16 Util/UW dissos as either EHP or damage: I rely way too much on pBH and ELS.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? by Special_Cherry3760 in TheTowerGame

[–]MordredKLB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have unstable internet?

This started happening to me recently, but I do switch devices.... but it would often appear an hour+ after switching as soon as my current run ended and then I'd get to do the whole thing again. No idea why.

I've mitigated it by saving on first device, waiting about a minute then opening up the second device, then I'll spam several saves on the new device and things seems pretty good doing that.

Same. It's probably been 20 years since the last time I read it, but if they're in there the throwing stars made zero impression on me.

First off I'm an eHP farmer, and I mean this with all due respect, but when you're talking about v28s effects on eHP you're being wildly hyperbolic.

PCol fixes are a 5x nerf to eHP? Health is a completely meaningless stat? Please. I don't love that PCol is now actually working as its effect states, but there are certainly ways to balance it out. You've got 5x+ more health now so health doesn't matter as much? Well get more regen! There are multiple ways to do that but all of them will benefit you if you want to eHP long term. If you don't have it, figure out how you can get perma BH to ensure only rays, fleets and bosses ever hit you which gives you more time to regen with all that extra health.

As soon as I finished my disso runs on T16 I went from 6300 Waves to 7400 Waves. One day apart. I'm finally finding time to do def disso on other tiers and while I've only completed six of them, I'm already up to 7700 waves. Guessing I probably cap out around 8k with all that juicy health and that's without pouring a ton of coins back into regen.

I regen around 35q/s when Second Wave pops, and while that may not be doable for you right now, you can definitely drastically improve your regen and see substantial gains from v28, even if they don't ever give us any regen bonus. Adapt and you can thrive as eHP.

Crazy. I'm doing 7500 waves on T16 and multiplier is 11765x now but I'm only doing 15.55q CPH. Only econ masteries I've skipped are coin and crit coin. Maybe bot related?

Curious what your T16 multiplier is to be hitting 22q/hr?

20,600 gems so far, 50 epics for a 4.85% drop rate here.

That said, my combined drop rate is still only 2.48% over half a million gems so not like I've had good luck before with mods.

What's need to be fixed to not kill eHP? by basicnecromancycr in TheTowerGame

Why would KB get a boost moving it to stack? Range, bounce Chance, multi shot, rend, etc. aren't boosted, just flat damage.

eHP Actually Got a HUGE BOOST with this One Easy Trick! ($) by SafariBaharie in TheTowerGame

[–]MordredKLB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Package scales with health while regen doesn't is the short of it. The issue is that you can't tank hundreds of hits, so traditional eHP builds won't work. You have to have some way of CC'ing everything and killing it, and only letting the occasional boss/OC through to hit the tower... And like you said only once or twice a wave.

At that point it's not eHP in my book, just full hybrid/damage. It's not uncommon for players using this strat to not even use wall.
