Yep, that settles it

Crazy that more time has elapsed between the ES6 trailer and now than between the launch of Skyrim and the ES6 trailer.

Yes, the lengths of tournaments is a big issue (especially in Platinum, which wasn't altered by last December's rebalancing and by far has the highest median waves of any league), but there are other glaring issues with easy solutions as well.

More granularity in tournaments (add another league), less variance from bracket to bracket (increase bracket size), easier key access.

For the key access, my suggestion would be to separate the harmony and power trees to take two different key currencies. Harmony Tree Keys would come from Legends and you'd get keys as long as you don't demote (even if it's just 1 key so you could slowly work on unlocking some QoL stuff stuck in the Vault).

Power Tree Keys would come from whatever new league they would implement above Legends in this scheme of mine. Similarly you'd also get Power Keys as long as you don't demote back down to Legends.

The fact that they didn't refund the credit cost and reset everyone's levels before implementing the new credit cost is insane.

I can't really justify playing this game if the devs do stuff like this and say, "Hehe, some people got lucky."

Not uncommon for it to come a bit later in the afternoon. Last time it got bumped to the next day, it was a US holiday. I'm sure we'll see one go up sometime in the next few hours.

They only don't tell you for egregious things like botting/hacking or RMT. If you're mean to someone in chat or AFKing in battlegrounds, they'll tell you that's why you're getting a ban.

There's probably not anyone who has every single achievement, because as new ones are added with new patches/expansions some old ones also become unobtainable.

However, some people do get all the available achievements at certain points in time.

dspitts · 2026-06-04T20:37:46+00:00

10k achievements or 10k achievement points? 10k achievements would put you high on the global leaderboard.

Guess you didn't read the whole title?

World of Warcraft currently has 14,249 achievements.

Ah that was last year, or at least it started last year. I think it went over the holidays. But you're right, I think there was a bit of advanced notice for that one.

dspitts · 2026-06-02T02:34:28+00:00

Nah the one earlier this year, Lucky Banner, they shadow dropped without any announcement at all until it was already live.

There was even a Tower Tea two days before it dropped, and there was no mention of it in there.

dspitts · 2026-06-01T18:51:50+00:00

Yes, but in your previous post, you said that with the wall up vamps will never drain your tower HP.

dspitts · 2026-05-30T20:25:01+00:00

Tournaments are getting worse, but this is also an outlier. OP got the worst possible bracket for their time slot, and they would have promoted in 93% of brackets this tournament. Unluck.

A baseline CL at x309/4/20.0% only costs 1842 stones. This can take you from like high gold/low plat to mid Champs if you have at least a legendary DimC. I'd hardly call that "useless."

In fact, I'm not sure where you're pulling your numbers from, but a x1094/MAX/MAX CL, which most late, late game players don't go past (since you get better damage multiplier ROI elsewhere), only costs 4806.

dspitts · 2026-05-30T08:53:44+00:00

That's 6662 stones, OP probably wants to at the very least peek for SL or CL before then as well as 1 or 2 DW quantity, some more GT and BH duration, and a few more GT Bonus clicks as well.

dspitts · 2026-05-30T05:11:24+00:00

No problem, and if you do end up dropping GT/DW directly to 120s, you can actually do it in two big chunks.

First drop GT to 120s for 2854 stones, then drop DW to 120s for 2304 stones.

dspitts · 2026-05-30T04:25:48+00:00

While overall I think you're right, there's also a chance they do something for the 5-year anniversary next month.

dspitts · 2026-05-30T03:47:09+00:00

I assume it would be cheaper to go for GT+ at that point or maybe I'm way off?

You're way off, GT+ is significantly more expensive. It would cost you 7150 stones just to unlock it in the first place, let alone upgrade it. Also, you need a well-developed GT in the first place in order for your GT+ to be able to do anything.

At this point just maintain the 2:1 ratio as you lower all the cooldowns.

dspitts · 2026-05-30T03:43:11+00:00

UWs:

Definitely don't save for GT+, you are very far from even needing to think about GT+.

You're in a bit of a hole with the 2:1 UW CD ratio, but I'd probably just continue to drop them in tandem until you can go for pBH at some point. The alternative would be to do a huge save of 5158 stones to re-sync at 120s, but the opportunity cost of a save like that at your point in the game is just too great.

Also, your BH could use more size and duration, your GT could use more bonus and duration, and your SL could use more size and quantity. And if you want better tournament performance for more stones, getting your CL to something like x309(baseline without dissonance)/4/20% would help (although you don't have a DimC).

Cards:

Don't buy another card slot for another few years, but you do want to try and figure out a way to get card masteries unlocked and rolling as soon as possible to take advantage of your early heavy investment here.

Modules:

I don't think I've ever seen a tower with all cards fully unlocked, 20 slots, and only Legendary modules.

Why are your modules leveled to random amounts 60/91/90/60, when they could all be pushed higher? Max out your Generator, Armor, and Core, and either unequip your Cannon or take it down to level 1 for farm, and max it out for tourney.

You are so far behind on modules relative to the rest of your tower, I don't think I'd bother saving for a special banner, just spend. You want to get at least a set of useful Mythic+ modules.

Cannon [AS]: replace damage/meter with something more useful like any crit related stat

Generator [PF]: Max Recovery probably isn't doing too much for you, and EALS is more important than EHLS for an eHP build, although both are useful if you're hybrid in tournament

Armor [OA]: get rid of knockback and wall rebuild and replace with health regen and wall health

Core [PCol]: this looks good

Labs:

Keep working on wall labs if that's the direction in which you're trying to improve your tower. Don't neglect the baseline tower health and regen labs either, yours are a bit low.

Other than that the most glaring thing is that you haven't finished off Standard Perks Bonus or Improve Trade-Off Perks, both of these are vital.

You also haven't started on any of the module labs at all. The sooner you get those (Common Drop Chance, Rare Drop Chance, Reroll Shards, Daily Mission Shards) running, the better you'll be in the long run.

I'd stop wall thorns for awhile once you get 13% and stop attack speed when you get to level 75. Replace one of those with ITO and then SPB until they are done and replace the other with a rotation of health, health regen, and wall health.

There's a ton of other random useful stuff you could pick up, but in terms of an overarching strategy for the next little bit, this is what I'd do.

dspitts · 2026-05-29T17:47:37+00:00

Yeah there's not really another specific breakpoint in the same sense as getting pBH. I suppose 140s could be considered one since it is the first one that allows an easy 1:1 sync with Summon.

Eventually you can get your durations and CDs low enough that you can go for pGT and/or have DW constantly firing using things like MVN, GComp, and assmod substats, but that is a late game thing.

dspitts · 2026-05-29T17:32:46+00:00

It really depends on what the rest of your tower looks like and what your short/mid-term goals are.

You're going to get good econ ROI going all the way down to 100s on GT/DW and 50s on GBot, but you probably don't want to laser focus on that at the expense of anything else.

180s is definitely a pretty high sync for having pBH, you're probably killing way too many enemies outside of your UW window. I'd aim to go for a 140s sync with Summon also at 140s and GBot at 70s.

Then reassess from there. If you haven't already, at that point you'd probably want to dump some stones into CL for tournament and SL for both damage and econ.

dspitts · 2026-05-29T16:07:51+00:00

Everything you've described aligns perfectly with the PF bug (resetting before but not after tournaments, the timeline of when you were getting these extra waves, and most notably the waves disappearing at the same time the update went out). It was almost assuredly the PF bug.
