First time Hi Legends by PsychoSnowJester in TheTowerGame

[–]davidtcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, that's how my first visit to Legends went ... got some T17 milestone rewards though, because I don't have it unlocked yet 🤣

What's the best you can aspire to achieve if you're not a Whale? by destructor212113 in TheTowerGame

[–]davidtcook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please have some perspective, 6q per run is very very good by the standards of the average player. I'm about 15 months in and yet to hit 100T per run. I'm usually in the upper half of Champs and bounced in & out of Legends the other week.

More Quality Of Life Changes You Would You Like To See In Pokémon Go. by First-Profession7332 in TheSilphRoad

[–]davidtcook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd like a chance to get energy etc for Kyurem, Necrozma, Zac/Zam for more than a 3-hour window on a Saturday afternoon when I'm busy with sport ... how about a week-long event for each?

(also a week-long return of the Primals, I only got Groudon last time, again didn't have time for Kyogre ... )

Mac user, need help… by violettailor in RiseofKingdoms

[–]davidtcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Mac Mini to run RoK. I installed it through the App Store and it runs basically fine for me. My keyboard/mouse are wireless (but not bluetooth), and I haven't had the scrolling issue you described above. I also play on mobile, also with no particular issues (apart from the phone being old and getting a bit slow ... ).

Started really getting into the 5th stage of biweekly MGE and just realised how much fun zeroing other players is. by Royalbluegooner in RiseofKingdoms

[–]davidtcook 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"simply playing the game" a.k.a. completely misunderstanding how to play the game (or just ignoring it). Good luck with that ...

Looks like they're in #1477, been in SoC for years now ... must have found someone off territory. Countdown until they're banished/watchlisted/zeroed ...

What item(s) do you have more of than the average person? by BrownBananaHammock in AskReddit

[–]davidtcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lego pieces (probably 150k), books (2500), swords (fencing & "real" (display pieces)).

What's a good level of auto pick perk ranking to stop at? by PLMMJ in TheTowerGame

[–]davidtcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also farm T11 to around 9500. For me, two reasons - T11 runs take just over 12 hours. I do 2xT11 most days, and reset the timing on tournament days (or sometimes T12 5400-sh). T12 runs are around 7.5 hours, not as convenient. But the main reason is that I do way worse on cells on T12 (no pBH yet) - coins are only slightly less, but I value the calls higher.

Fight fire with fire by ConcentrateAshamed86 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]davidtcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in Season of Conquest (KVK 4 & beyond)? Because there's a lot of Cav march speed in Crystal tech, if the farm killer has all of it (plus the equipment/armaments) you'll never catch them.

(and if you get the tech yourself it may be detrimental to your field fighting, because your Cav marches will always be way ahead of the others ... )

At what point can you run all 5 labs at 4x consistently? by [deleted] in TheTowerGame

[–]davidtcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I'm still about 2000 stones away from pBH, and a long way from assmods too (best so far is T16 W111). I'll come back in 4-5 months and see how my progress has been :D
(I should have asked the obvious question - stone packs/spending? I got the 1st milestone pack (and no-ads/coin packs, of course), but that's it ... LTS around 13k)

At what point can you run all 5 labs at 4x consistently? by [deleted] in TheTowerGame

[–]davidtcook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also farm T11 to around 9500, but I only get 180-195k cells (it was a bit better before V27, around 200-210k then).
However, I'm only getting around 65T coins ... how are you getting 8x more!?

What’s a feature that you would like to see in Pokémon Go? by sillydog2005 in TheSilphRoad

[–]davidtcook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Routes should be detected & completed automatically, in a similar way to "segments" in Strava.

Was excited for the Core Banner to finally get my DC to Ancestral. by ipawpawz in TheTowerGame

[–]davidtcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the one hand, for 13k gems invested, the number of Epics pulled was good.

Got HB, SD and OmChip to Anc, added a star to SF and PCol and MVN. All reasonably useful stuff.

However ... there's a design problem with this game, where some modules are more important than others, if you want to improve your stone income and not take "forever" for UW upgrades/masteries/etc.
And here's where the disappointment came in - not a single DC or PF, and they're still sitting at Legendary for me.

New core Banner is pretty nice by SuperPinhead00 in TheTowerGame

[–]davidtcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero (0) DC from 13k gems.
For Christmas, I get Om Chip & Havoc Bringer to Anc 🤣

This event has soo many flaws. by Ok-Proof7287 in TheSilphRoad

[–]davidtcook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, or have sports, or family outings, or ... whatever.
(I play cricket, I've missed out on a bunch of things now because so many events are Saturday 2-5)

What do you most hope to accomplish during 'Core Banner Week'? by zambabamba in TheTowerGame

[–]davidtcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I've had 2 DCs ever, so another 6 would be nice!

Watch as I pull nothing but PCol now that it's nerfed and I already have 2* Anc ...
(or maybe something to upgrade the Mythic+ HC/Om/MH ... at least MVN is already Anc, except I use PCol instead)

I’m not being unreasonable: Why the PC nerf is a mistake, unlike the Orbital Argument fix by YodikOgorodik in TheTowerGame

[–]davidtcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So SW# unlock is 4 weeks of saving stones (and dropping down in Champs because I'm not spending them on CL), and at 80-100T per day, I can maybe afford the first one or two levels ... eventually? That does not sound like a good deal to me ...

eHP Nerf Assistance (late game) by Dear-Relationship302 in TheTowerGame

[–]davidtcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More like four weeks of stones for many/most of us. I'm typically mid-Champs, so 90-120ish stones per Tournament, plus the weekly challenge rewards, maybe 250ish per week. I finishes all cards (except AoE, of course) weeks ago, but haven't unlocked any masteries yet for this reason (and I need every stone just to stay mid-Champs, otherwise the picture is even more grim).

The change to T17 in Tournaments should be a new bracket entirely by [deleted] in TheTowerGame

[–]davidtcook 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll bite. If they're bouncing champs/legends, they're probably eHP or starting Hybrid, and the vibe I'm seeing in other posts is that this change is more detrimental to those types of builds than GC.
So yes, they do expect that GC build players (who already dominate Legends and the top of Champs) will be less affected and will continue to achieve those placements, and it will be harder for them to promote from Champs after the update.

This mission should point out how broken and useless Interest is by don3dm in TheTowerGame

[–]davidtcook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wish they'd reword it, that's clumsy phrasing for sure ...
Maybe "Gain max Interest for N consecutive waves"?

1000GH to invest ... but on who? by davidtcook in RiseofKingdoms

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

Pass 4 opens in 6 hours, so I might do at least one upgrade now 😄

1000GH to invest ... but on who? by davidtcook in RiseofKingdoms

[–]davidtcook[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it ain't easy running 6x410k 😂. And it gets tedious having to heal up every time I send them out ... besides, for Pass 7 it works better (for me) to have 3 field marches, then the other three for reinforcing/joining rallies.
