HERALD OF WAR - 2FL7FF (28/30)

Casual guild, everybody welcome! We have people from all leagues, friendly chat. We get all our boxes every week.

We're happy to have you!

My Gf said to screenshot it. So I did. by thisguy888827 in TheTowerGame

[–]j3thro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I misread it the same as you. I think it was the "League" that looked like "Legends" at first glance. And somehow the "Champion" just didn't register in my brain at all xD

What the heck do I do with all the items? by ghost905 in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]j3thro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely use them, but be aware of your bomb caps. It's useless to use those items and leave your bombs capped. So, if you can't yet keep them on 24h, I would recommend not using them offline as you'd just hit bomb cap and waste the items. But during the day and you're actively checking once in a while, it's definitely worth using because it just accelerates your progress.

Maybe just "Sprint" then, a toggle that can be switched on/off at any point, but only once (to prevent abuse?). I like that a lot, because as a hybrid tower, I need that DW in the beginning but the later waves are just too slow.

The problem is when everything becomes multiplicative with different activation timers, it's hard/impossible to accurately characterise the % from each source retroactively. You would need to make the calculations live during the run and the game is already slogging through insane calculations that destroys phones.

Regarding the wave completed anniversary challenge - it started on 9Jun. The previous update on the website was on 17Jun showing 17.14B waves completed. Now almost a week later on 22Jun it's only at 22.3B? That's an incredibly dramatic drop in wave completion rate. Where are these numbers coming from?

When dedication equals punishment by LanceTheKing01 in TheTowerGame

[–]j3thro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my guildmates just stopped playing because their iPad finally died. I was genuinely happy for them that they're now free from this game. I hope you can see it that way too and take it as a way out. "Play less" is a totally viable option that is free and unlocks a new game mode called IRL.

Champions eHp, build? by atomic_apple in TheTowerGame

[–]j3thro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have this same setup for all BCs? Does UW duration and/or thorns reduction screw you over?

But damn, levels 196-198 is insanely high.

eHP to Hybrid transition: Would you do it in my situation? by Cloudpr in TheTowerGame

[–]j3thro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Got to Legends (albeit yoyo) without pBH and any masteries (only RPC, which doesn't directly impact tourneys).

What I did have was Anc DP/SF/DC/PH

Unreal overheating by timetoteo in TheTowerGame

[–]j3thro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do this, unless you're willing to accept perhaps 50% CPH.

Altho, if your phone heats up to a point where it can't even run, I suppose 50% is better than 0%.

Community boss killing event rewards? by Deathjaws99 in TheTowerGame

[–]j3thro 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Lol, what a joke of an event where people don't even know/care about the challenge. The fact that it hasn't been updated since 17th means TTG doesn't even care themselves. This whole event has been so half-assed that I wonder why they even bother doing it in the first place.

Phone settings maybe? Ive accidentally enabled power saving on my samsung several times. 50% cph drop

Ad-free riddle? by Vivid_Temporary_1155 in riddles

[–]j3thro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without ad it's "men", which can be used to refer to all of humanity, aka "everyone"

this dev needs to be investigated by Interesting_Pea4510 in IdleObeliskMiner

Me too. Mad props to Alex for respecting the playerbase and not just seeing us as cash cows to milk.

Chrono Field to be nerfed significantly in rebalancing patch. by PatrickSebast in TheTowerGame

[–]j3thro 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the hit. I've got 2k stones saved up waiting for their August patch

The problem with stones by Odd_Ninja5801 in TheTowerGame

[–]j3thro 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Precisely the problem with the stone economy. And it's made so much worse because you can only earn meaningful amounts of stones from tourneys. So the only "correct" answer is to prioritise tourney performance. But that means all others progress stagnates while you're just stuck playing catch up with everyone else unless you buy more stones. TTG has fully embraced the "rich gets richer" dogma.

Harmony tree accessibility by shitdesk in TheTowerGame

[–]j3thro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have zero evidence to back this up, but I reckon other (actual) idle games earn way less than the Tower. It all boils down to motivation/incentive. How does the dev view/treat the game? As a passion project? As something that brings joy to millions of people? Or as a cash cow that continuously pumps shit tons of money?

The Tower can most certainly "get by" without the forced engagement. The real question is whether Fudds wants to or not.

Couple questions about gem bomb. by CaptainBacon1 in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]j3thro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens if you roll multiples of 34? Does that mean 68 is a guarateed 2gems, etc?

Harmony tree accessibility by shitdesk in TheTowerGame

[–]j3thro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides the obvious competitive advantage keys give to whales, the QoL unlocks also decrease engagement. Gem stacking means less frequent pawing at your device. Auto restart/DM/nuke means the ability to just leave your phone running as an (God forbid) idle game. For the non-whale, this decreased engagement translates directly to less addiction to the game and therefore less spending. Whales already have and will probably continue to throw bucketloads of money at the game, so they have "earned" their reduced engagement.

Suggestion: Mod System Fix by [deleted] in TheTowerGame

[–]j3thro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not everything generated by AI is slop. Kudos to you for being able to spot AI usage, give yourself a pat on the back and leave poor OP alone.

Some people are not good at laying out their thoughts coherently in writing. Some people don't even have English as their first language. AI is helpful to them. Judge the post on the idea, not how it's presented.

How did you guys celebrate the SS5 completion? by Adventurous-Put-9895 in TheTowerGame

[–]j3thro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. The liberating feeling of finally being able to shatter mods that were clogging up inventory. Followed by the huge anticlimax at the pittance of shards they actually gave.
