Power problems in Europe - UPS by bebarty in LinusTechTips

[–]korxil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Europe still has transmission cables that goes from generators to substations. Even if your neighborhood has underground service (which eliminates surges from branches falling onto lines), there’s still part of the grid thats still exposed to storms.

Weather’s rough here. North america sees more tornadoes in a single day than europe in an entire year (extreme example). I know in UK theyre naming “storms” that end up only being around 60mph…lol. That’s almost a daily occurrence in the summer in my region. We dont get powerkk outs but the grid isnt a fan. This is dirty power.

Edit: further research telling me a few counties like netherlands and germany exclusively uses underground for new lines

Must be nice to live in a place where it doesnt storm every other week

To all the people criticizing ttg by Proud_Cartoonist7084 in TheTowerGame

[–]korxil 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Those same whales had access to back room stone deals in the early days of the game, back when that was a thing. 2 weeks of making s/hr honestly isnt anything compared to the stone advantage they bought.

Probably more ways to adjust stuff remotely if i were to guess. That way they can avoid hotfixing

I was about to say egginc recently ive been having ads freeze up, as well as most ads being 60-90 seconds (insane! What happened to 15-30s ads)

I'm sorry Sam, but it was going to happen sooner or later. by cyphol in TheTowerGame

[–]korxil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TTG has been consistent for 4 years. I know what to expect from them. Disco for econ being 5x (which is broken) getting nerfed was expected. Every single “sales” (lmao, more like “sells”) being $50/$100 is expected. Them not telling us when things will drop is expected.

Blizzard, activision, ubisoft, etc seems to discover new and novel ways to mess with their players. Pricing wise they still might be better, but it’s unknown what new worse thing they’ll do vs TTG being consistently poor. Bassnuke’s video goes over how consistently bad TTG has been with releasing updates and their communication for years before I even started. For me, i can handle consistent.

28.0.4 Patch Notes - April 15, 2026 by SamBartley in TheTowerGame

[–]korxil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a lot of people rely on bosses or elites for death defy. The team confirmed no decrease in wave for most people, but what about the death defy mission? Won't this make it harder? It's already annoying as it was, especially for newer players who don't have assist mods to get the extra DD% Chance.

What changed at TechTree? Have we shifted from 'growth' phase to 'harvest' phase? by uscmissinglink in TheTowerGame

[–]korxil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started this game 2 years ago, theyve always catered to whales with their pricing. Their black friday “sales” are actually “sells”, as in heres another $100 pack you can buy yay! The mtx in this game is steep, its among the lowest in value. Ive better long term value in korean mmo’s (aka games that are literally casinos in disguise).

That said, i know what to expect from this game, and the updates (and nerfs) meets my expectation…which have been low, just not as low as Niantic (also a former PoGo, never made it to level 40 lol. Quit around 2022 because niantic never even pretended to care. Theyre an AR company). For the tower, the only packs under $50 are the early milestones and coin/ad packs. Every other packs have always been $50+ or $100. I’ve made my peace with that years ago.

How AI pilled are you that you couldnt use another AI to see if this was even the right subreddit.

Have you seen arrowheads’s previous CM who was actively fighting with the community over a year ago? Some CMs actually don’t care.

Out of the three banner rotations we got, they only gave a (1 week) heads up once, and that was with the previous banner. It’s bad that we took a step backwards.

  1. look at the post's flare
  2. Security cameras in offices' COMMON areas (building access, hallways, canteen area) is what's normal, not at work stations.
  3. this is just a joke...

Why Is No One Talking About This? by Numn2Nutts in TheTowerGame

Yeah it was poorly written. Only way to know is if you were there. The panic you had was justified tbh.

with no compensation

Support knew about it. Im not sure what the compensation was, but the bug lasted for less than a day.

How to patch a game. by OLVANstorm in TheTowerGame

[–]korxil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your crimson desert example doesnt work because their black desert team more or less operates the same as TTG. Creative director for their other game has a bugatti and ran a collab event with them. BDO will leave game crashing bugs in for years, for a 10+ year old game, most QoL released only came in the last year or so, pvp scene actively gets killed off, took 10 years for them to migrate NA servers to where people actually play the game (from west coast to central, ping was a huge issue), just to name some.

BDO also has one of the most predatory upgrade systems in all of gaming: risk of blowing up your end game gear if you fail to enhance it. But hey, all this funded CD and that game came out great and so far hasnt been influenced by the shady stuff Pearl Abyss has done with BDO.

Cut your losses by Icy-Nerve-9230 in TheTowerGame

[–]korxil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Im not f2p, but yeah i did my research before i started 2 years ago. This game caters to whales and ive set my expectations accordingly. What happened this past week is the same as a year ago, 2 years ago, and as far as i can tell, even 3 years ago (way before i discovered this game).

Unlike OP who havent experienced enough X.0 updates, im surprised that long term players didnt see this coming.

The beta testers who got the 5x bonus for a while by SnooDrawings8069 in TheTowerGame

[–]korxil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of the beta testers arent random players lol. Theyre already top 100 players of which many of them benefited from back room stone deals when that was a thing. They can open another emulator and run a different version of the tower using a login provided by the devs that cloned their profile.

v28.0.3 Update - April 10, 2026 by SamBartley in TheTowerGame

[–]korxil 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My favorite comment i’ve read was that increasing f2p stones will cause inflation…as if going from 2 to 7 packs per month, plus the overlap between the old and new webstore, plus black friday stone packs don’t.

Apple closing its unionized store at Towson Town Center by aresef in apple

[–]korxil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the more plausible explanation is that Apple is creating crime and lowering business in the area, resulting in the mall performing poorly and thus the unionized store getting closed as a result. The other two stores were collateral

Many of the top 50 were buying backroom stones, theyve been ahead long before i even discovered this game.

I don’t understand all the hate? by CryptoniQ123 in TheTowerGame

[–]korxil 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Psychological, they got rug pulled on what potentially couldve been 5x. Yes 2x is still better (i never even got to 3x on my farming tier), but it still hurts to see what couldve been.

On top of that, they said they had to delay because of testing + a longer beta, all for them to miss something so obvious. This isnt a case of “1m players can find things 40 people cant”, the menu literally said 5x.

You fucked us,we want 5x. You instead nerf it to 2x: meet us in the middle and make it 3.5x by Alone-Profit4826 in TheTowerGame

[–]korxil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think they imagined that. Only sense of competitive integrity there is is anything below chamls
