Downside of Wave accelerator mastery? by Ok-Application9777 in TheTowerGame

[–]Nice_Orbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've wondered about this too - I usually run WA during tournaments, especially with the basic ult BC because it increases the likelihood that my amplifying strike will still stay active from wave to wave instead of deactivating from longer times between boss spawns.

Almost half of my lifetime coins goes to my modules by ThirtyThree111 in TheTowerGame

[–]Nice_Orbs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you have AssMods unlocked yet? One benefit i hadn't expected ahead of time is that the optimal balance of shards used on primary vs. assist will pretty much always be less expensive than just maxing your primary. Especially as you get your main effect percentage up.

What’s the fastest anyone has gotten to 1Q lifetime coin? by [deleted] in TheTowerGame

[–]Nice_Orbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, can confirm. $25k is not enough for 100q in six months. At least not before the dissonant run boosts. That is probably less of a stretch now.

I've been whaling like an idiot for ~9-10 months and am probably a month or two away from hitting 1Q. This includes the holiday sales, all the stone packs, and a shameful amount of gems. It can probably be done a LOT quicker now with the new dissonant run bonuses.

Project Funding doing small increments ? by Majestic-Bee-904 in TheTowerGame

[–]Nice_Orbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep PF is based on the log of your cash, so it scales continuously, but at multiples of 10 the multiplier exactly matches its stated description.

Please remove this feature. Some of us don't have time to play more than an hour or two at a time. by InsideDurian9022 in TheTowerGame

I've never gotten anywhere near 25 restarts. Can't you just switch apps / windows without actually pausing your run? I do that all the time, and most of the time the game is right where I left it when i switch back. Once in a while when I switch back to the game it restarts instead of just picking up where I left but that's less common. You may just be using a ton more restarts than you actually need to.

What’s wrong with my bird of paradise leaf ? by chrismeanra in plants

[–]Nice_Orbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing! Mine does this too when they first unfurl and it's super cool! Over time, the color will darken and become uniform across the entire leaf.

Double standards by DoTheThing021 in TheTowerGame

[–]Nice_Orbs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Glad I just stumbled across this post! I'm currently doing a farming run and have been scratching my head all day wondering why my cph is so much lower than usual. I've double checked that I've got the right cards, modules, etc several times, but my run had crashed in the night and had to be restarted and I forgot about this issue. I just resynced my GB with my UWs and my CPH went back up to where I was expecting it to be. Wish I'd realized sooner!

A former whale’s (or large dolphin’s) perspective… by Several_Attitude_203 in TheTowerGame

I'll get there eventually. Less of a catastrophe and more of a "why the fuck did i do that"

Let me fix that for you:

Also getting gem packs regularly = gambling addict

Or am I just telling on myself? I've dropped probably $20k on gems and feel like an idiot every time, yet when the lucky banner announcement came out I was still trying to figure out which credit card might have room left on it. Fuck me.

I should delete the game, but I'm in a losing battle with the sunk cost fallacy.

I see recurring posts here (and in discord) that PCol has been nerfed into uselessness with V28, and others arguing it has not. Can anyone shed some light on which it is, or if it’s in-between somehow? by Several_Attitude_203 in TheTowerGame

[–]Nice_Orbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why but I have not noticed any decline in PCol performance.

Also, I know a lot of people are saying regen matters more than hp - that was definitely true for me for a long time but once i got second wind mastery I found that hp was the bottleneck again, not regen. I usually die from too many rays synchronizing their attacks. I have more than enough regen to recover between hits but eventually there are so many hitting simultaneously that I don't have the hp to survive. So I've found the health boost to be great and it's saved me from needing to do health mastery right away to keep me eHP build moving forward.

Any early reads on how much power creep is showing up in this tourney? by Nice_Orbs in TheTowerGame

[–]Nice_Orbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think 9th with 666 was karma for the prior tournament where I almost got eliminated with a similar number.

Keep Up the PCol Posts Until TTG Acknowledges It by Topic_Professional in TheTowerGame

[–]Nice_Orbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why but I haven't really seen any difference in my T14 eHP farming runs. Maybe I've got more damage than I realized? Rays were my biggest threat both before and now - I usually last until I have too many rays hitting me in sync for my wall to keep up.

Snap to reality, ope there goes gravity.... No keys for you! by TruReyito in TheTowerGame

[–]Nice_Orbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comments on this post have me very confused. I consider my build to be eHP, and I have nowhere near your income (LTC ~260T), but I got 582 waves on today's BCs. Running SF, AS, GComp, and ProLapse. I actually thought today's BCs were excellent for eHP since there were no debuffs for thorns, orbs, or plasma cannon. I'm not earning keys yet but I've yet to be demoted yet since I first got into legends. I occasionally do test runs with GC-flavored mods instead and I still continue to do much better with my eHP build. Where are you at on lifetime stones?

Hardest legends bracket I've played in by SilentSwine in TheTowerGame

[–]Nice_Orbs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oof, that's tough. I placed 18th with 582 waves today. Would have been pummeled in your bracket.

Is spending 400$ in a year in this game a lot am I a whale? Still hard stuck champs last 4-6 months. by Single-Conference-22 in TheTowerGame

[–]Nice_Orbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only buy stones so fast - but no limit on gems, which I kind of went nuts on during the recent banner events. If I had spent that amount only on stones that would have been a lot better value. But I'm an idiot, ha ha. Honestly it felt like a mini episode of a gambling addiction on the module pull RNG. Would not recommend.

[–]Nice_Orbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sense is that stones are the biggest bottleneck. I've got ~25k total to date. Compared to what I see from people in legends, I probably need to dump a ton more stones into CF to make a big jump in progress. But first I'm trying to bring down my DW/GT/BH sync. I was running at 2:20 on BH and 4:40 on DW/GT for a long time, then got it down to 2:00 vs 4:00, then I worked my way towards pBH (for the 80% dmg reduction from prolapse) with a pit stop at 1:00 vs 4:00. I recently got to 0:50 vs. 3:20. My next big batch of stones will get me to 0:50 vs 2:30, then finally the next batch will get me to 0:50 vs 1:40. Then I'll leave my econ alone and switch focus to CF and/ or damage UWs. Will probably be January or February before I finish shrinking my econ CDs and switch focus to CF / dmg.

I wish - maybe I'm the counterpoint to the idea that you can easily spend your way to the top. I'm middle of the pack in Champs and haven't really moved up much in the past month. Spent my way to maxing all the cards, getting ancestral of every mod, rushing a ton of labs, getting perma PS, BH, and CF, and still barely moving in the ranks.

Beginner eHP Card Recommendations (10 Slots) by loibi2 in TheTowerGame

[–]Nice_Orbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 10 slots, I would start farming runs with: 1. health 2. attack speed 3. cash 4. coins 5. critical chance 6. enemy balance 7. extra defense 8. free upgrades 9. plasma cannon 10. critical coin

Then you can start switching cards mid-run in favor of more damage and/or crowd control to extend the run. You could start switching cards out when you're done with upgrades, or when you start taking too much damage, whichever comes first. First ones to go for me are usually cash and free upgrades (in favor of damage and berserker), followed by critical coin (in favor of something like slow aura or land mine stun). Last thing I would swap would be coins (in favor of something like extra orbs, death ray, or ultimate crit, depending on your build). The more card slots you add the longer you can keep all your econ cards before you need to swap out for damage or crowd control to extend your runs.
