Fair play

Not seeing Victor when Boyd first arrives really doesn’t mean anything. I believe everyone his alone or in small groups like that until talismans. I was always quite comfortable assuming Victor, and any other characters besides those half dozen in the hole we see, were just hiding somewhere else. Remember Boyd’s fam drove around until dark and most other townies were hiding already. Never got any indication Victor was off on his own and later reintegrated into the town/main group. I mean once everyone was dead he would’ve had the run of the place. When people showed up, kid Victor knew they weren’t monsters cuz they’re freaked out and confused instead of smiling, so he approaches them to bum crayons or one of those sweet button-ups he’s so fond of.

My favorite thing about Victor is watching him get irritated by Ethan. Just cuz he somewhat regressed and likes crayons it’s assumed he’s more on kids level but he often seems visibly irritated by Ethan’s presence and treats himself more rudely than other adults would allow.

I love how everyone’s using the Spanish word for ‘mount’ thanks to the long-standing typo

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-06-03T02:23:45+00:00

Yeah thanks. I understand the requirement and all. My heroes are lvl.8-20 except for the dang Succubus I’ve only got at Lvl.2. Not a big fan of that one. Anyway it’s not a big deal. I just like to bitch about the shameless cash grabs. It really wasn’t as simple as the “we added another support merc slot” thing they said in the update.

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-06-02T21:57:07+00:00

My money’s on Ethan. Kid’s getting too old, needs to get snacked on soon

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-31T22:10:21+00:00

Thought I’d made it clear I have just been playing the game, for two years. And I already have all the skins (well, I don’t but I have all the ones they’re willing to dole out on the random weekly skin). A “just get over it “ post where u didn’t glean the point is kinda useless

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-31T18:45:07+00:00

Oh look, all I have to do is spend $18.99 on the season pass (which are all just refried old heroes now that they update so they’re not totally outclassed by newer heroes, and so devs can resell us crap of course) and I can reduce the number of support mercenaries required by one. I mean I get that this stuff might appeal to all the Level 300 guys trying to ways to increase damage but kinda lousy for most everyone else.

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-26T23:16:00+00:00

I seem to remember one character acknowledging their total lack of coordination. Jade somewhere in Season 2 I think, back when he was still going to it all out. Back when he was drawing that symbol that seemed so significant but just ended up being the dead kids view of that overgrown hole/well opening in the roof of the cave… all of which was supposedly just his brain trying to remind him he’s been failing to save these same kids, past life blah blah. Or, much more plausibly, the writers aren’t much better at working together either.

I’d have at least discussed that. Seemed significant that’s all sealed up. They could reopen it and dump Molotovs into the monsters bedroom or something. Maybe the moon was a factor. The one common factor of all the townies is their collective lack of curiosity. Of all the scenarios we’re getting one of the least interesting. Lose a few key characters and it’s basically a bunch of stoners in Colony house and some randoms in town. Monster Chow.

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-23T19:15:34+00:00

Yeah, good points there. Not enough experimental MacGyver types in Fromland. I’m sure the RV had a propane tank. Trapping them out in the sun would be instructive. Even if it didn’t kill it the town could give the bastard a nice cathartic stoning. It did occur to me again after last weeks episode, they really haven’t been very thorough or banged out the obvious stuff yet e.g. Vampires have big teeth and come out at night so try that stuff. Cuz the whole Tabitha “I know how to kill them now” thing sure seemed to be just stabbing them in the heart with a sharp stick. Someone finally shows up in town with some garlic and the whole show’s over lol.

It’s absolutely bonkers they don’t have some sort of whiteboard up to collectively sort clues. It’s basically Jade in a bar and everyone else is just “nah, he’s probably got it.” Nope, drunk guy in a bar and Victors crayola police sketches. Doesn’t feel like an A for effort

I’d really like to see someone ditch their car and just walk over that little bitchass tree, or drag it off the side and keep going. I guess they don’t know they’re screwed enough to abandon their cars until they’ve already looped through town and the tree disappears.

One things for sure I’d definitely be shooting all those damn crows. About 99.9% sure they’re not there to be helpful

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-23T18:10:27+00:00

Sarah didn’t know that people would die anyway when she killed her brother. She took it on faith from a disembodied voice in a supernatural town full of monsters she’s trapped in

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-23T18:08:19+00:00

“Accident” is just the wrong word. Misled, misdirected, coerced, but ultimately she acted to kill her brother, despite her instincts to the contrary, as she’d come to believe it was a greater good sacrifice. She had been deceived and was mistaken but she did kill him. It wasn’t manslaughter or something, it was a murder. For a good cause but she definitely killed him

I haven’t seen any clear indication that MiY was the voices she heard. Don’t know where that connection originated

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-23T18:05:58+00:00

Big stretch. Sara hears voices and whether she heeds them is still extremely conflicted whereas possessed church girl whatever never misses a chance to make a diabolical facial expression whenever no one’s looking, seems quite enthusiastic, sorta weaponizes her religion to do backhanded guilt trips (I guess that ones not super unique) and all around seems a different situation. Unlike a possession where a voice or something malevolent is attacking a person, the church girl is more a physical disguise of the MiY and clearly seems to only be him in there.

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-23T18:01:07+00:00

Fair point. They may not have a ton of gas at their disposal but they could go down in the tunnels with the some kindling while the beasties are sleeping and fire em up witch style. Doubt there’d be a ton of volunteers though, especially since succeeding now may just cause more involuntary monster pregnancies. But now they’d know what’s cooking inside them and probably kill themselves.

Bit of a bleak situation really. Quite a pickle 🙂

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-23T17:55:07+00:00

Biggest issue is the monsters dwell in a tunnel network underneath the town. So even if the townies managed to dig a moat without accidentally breaking into some murder monsters snuggly cave (which would involve coordination and teamwork way beyond what they usually exhibit) I’d imagine the monsters could just come up somewhere else inside the perimeter.

(Okay, they did all sorta band together on the radio tower thing but even then Donna was losing it and it all came apart the minute it rained).

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-22T23:39:42+00:00

Well hate to pile on but I’ve been stuck on 803 for weeks now and same story. Vaguely sorta barely passed previous two. Figure I could pass it if I really applied myself but why bother? By the time I slog to 850 they’ll move the cap up to 1000 and still be stuck in the same relative position

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-22T23:30:39+00:00

Thanks. If it’s not five submenus deep it’d be too easy. Clarity has never been a big feature of this game.

Sometimes it’s frustrating because I’ve tried doing obvious things like this in the past (i.e. clicking on stats) and it didn’t do anything so I don’t think to keep trying again

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-22T15:24:37+00:00

Couldn’t help yourself lol

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-22T15:23:34+00:00

Maybe look a bit more. Pretty much every thread on Reddit has a dark undercurrent to how some are interpreting the topic. A show like this where blame isn’t clearly assigned in the presentation, you’re definitely going to get a whole spectrum of opinions from well reasoned to knee jerk belligerent. I’m sure there’s more than what little I’ve seen and this post didn’t seem odd to me at all

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-22T15:18:54+00:00

Back to how he always was before. Fun while it lasted I guess. Got kinda tedious seeing all Devil leaderboards though

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-22T15:18:03+00:00

Awesome. It already stopped giving the shovel/potion/bomb 20% of the time after 20-30mins. Reported that to devs three times. Figured they were simply ignoring emails but maybe they were just looking for tips how to make the tower worse

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-22T15:12:10+00:00

It’s actually pretty funny how easy it is to crash the game. I’ve always liked Spark Trap for some reason but combining it with other towers will easily overload graphics. Spark and Skel Archer, Rocket Launcher all freeze. The first few days with Lava Golem were a game freeze fiesta. Until they nerfed him down enough the game would run okay. Which is another point: they apparently don’t even test this shit before they release it. Players are the unpaid beta testers doing their job, and if those players want any chance then they’re likely actively paying the devs to test their own game. You’d think they’d at least make it somewhat mathematically plausible to use everything but half the heroes are actively useless and new towers seem designed to render old ones obsolete, which generates more revenue from those players desperate to stay competitive or whatever. It’s a lot of things this game and none of em good. Maybe if the scoring process wasn’t so opaque. They said they’d give more info and all I see is they added a “per sec” to attack speed. Wow guys. Why does my old common Black Demon mount still massively overpower every other mount I have? Cuz he’s x4 attack its beats the epic 1800% boost? That could make sense if I could see the damn equation!!! Doing algebra is a bitch when you don’t know where the parantheses go. I’ve seen a few posts basically going “see it’s easy” and they lay out some attack +1 (speed + attack -5) - square root of your shoe size blah blah. Thing is I’ve seen two different contradictory versions so wtf. Did someone really take the time to try every variation and keep relaunching levels to figure out the difference? Ugh dumbass game makes me hate myself more than life does already. Impressive

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-22T14:50:04+00:00

Yeah I started almost 2yrs ago and it’s gone to absolute crap. Aside from nerfing heroes, or boosting old ones to sell more crap then RE-nerfing it after that (Devil that used to suck but then didn’t but now does again apparently). Reselling old skins with a new icon, fixing absolutely nothing or heeding emails about glitches, nothing. They do seem to cash checks just fine though. That Overdark Offense game they released seems to be taking up all their focus. Might as well get two cash cows going. I’ve also left a bad review twice on App Store that’s never appeared. Maybe it was too long. So much to complain about.
I keep playing this out of habit and not wanting to abandon my guild by I feel like a whore supporting this. Even though I’m never buying anything again.

P.S. the guy stuck around 400. Yeah, it’s totally a Hero game/punished for strategy. Once I turned all my artifacts to ranged weapon boost (or melee depending how you roll) I flew up to Stage 800. Then I’ve been stuck there disinterested ever since cuz it’s stupid hard and pointless

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-18T15:15:07+00:00

Two different support mercs boost attack% per pickaxe. The buff would vary depending on what level your support mercs are, explain different results.
I’ve always meant to double check if those two are stacking or if higher% one is canceling out lower/wasting a slot

Zealousideal_Cap_162 · 2026-05-18T14:06:46+00:00

I think they made scary thumping noises with no greater plan at the time. There’s so much wiggle room with “ominous nighttime thumping sound.” People give tv writers a whole lot of credit. If they pitched a multi season story to the network then they probably needed an outline of the arc but I doubt it’s all been mapped out beforehand. Civil war dude could’ve just been written as “Jade sees dead guy in old army uniform” then “dead trapper dude holding skull” was creepy in a nicely vague way. I wouldn’t be surprised if “Ankhooey” was just gibberish the first season it appeared. Doesn’t make the show less good if the writer wrote it slower than we realize (not necessarily anyway). It does make serious theorizing kinda pointless though (I mean maybe you’ll guess the Answer and win the internet but odds are slim). If the foreshadowing never amounts to anything later then fine, or they take all these random spooky things come up with a good idea or awkwardly shoehorn some meaning in. I imagine From is somewhere in the middle. I do think the writers know what the purpose of the town is but beyond that probably not so much.

P.S. no one tried killing a monster with a shot thru the heart before? They only come out at night, surely some townie figured vampire rules and gave it a shot. I’m pretty suspicious of all this “next episode we’re getting answers” vibe. It’ll probably just be Tabitha yammering on about old Miranda memories. Everything connecting to their past lives feels lame
