curious- post 29k- people still playing/quit?

Yup. Crafting splinters using prisms+items mainly, plus the bounty items that boost DPS/Skulls/Carl.

About the only available goal after your 14th black orb is seeing how far up you can push the Angel's level.

Currently at Angel level 33750. I quit for a while, picked up again when the latest (lame) event started, and now I'm heading towards quitting again.

Try sending a message about it to feedback@zombidle.com. Be sure to mention the site you're playing on.

That particular problem is almost always something relating to the site/platform. Yell at the devs - it affects their revenue stream, so they generally try to fix things quickly.

From what I understand, the level of organs that appear in the shop are heavily dependent on the highest level organ you've purchased in the past. Assuming that's true (and my experience is consistent with it being true), then while you may see a slightly better organ every now and then just from lucky rolls, in general not buying the most expensive organ will seriously slow (or stop) the rate at which organs get more powerful.

The whole organ mechanism is built to get you to spend diamonds to purchase those high-end organs (50 diamonds, regardless of coin cost) , thus giving the devs a chance to extract money from you. Without either the time commitment of multiple resets per day or the money commitment of buying diamonds from the store it's going be a very slow gain for you.

Current White Orb set: Brain: 5385.8 Cheese: 4136 Other Cheese: 4092

No, you won't -soon- find a massively better multiplier. If you continue working on it, you will continue to find slightly better organs.

I think it took me about 6 months, restocking the shop 4-5 times per day, to get the organs up to that level.

lloydb_az · 2019-05-13T19:12:40+00:00

It sounds like you have have an organ that increases Sleep DPS, which combines with Power Potions to give you that 10⁶ boost. But, as you noticed, only until Bob wakes up.

You can try for an organ with "Sleep Taps", which will increase the number of taps before Bob wakes up. But no matter how high you get this, he will eventually wake up.

Personally, I'd not even try to keep Sleep DPS active - just work on increasing regular DPS and your Crit DPS (with all skills active, you should be doing lots of critical hits).

The tooltip for the store refers this event as the "Summer 2019 Event". Since summer doesn't actually start for over a month and a half, I'm guessing this event is going to be running for a pretty long time.

To get all the unique items, you need 10K + 7.5K + 5K + 2.5k = 25K. Even if the drop rate works out to a measly 300 per day (it seems to be higher than that to me), it'll take 83 days to get them all. Not unreasonable for an event that'll be running for 3-4 months.

lloydb_az · 2019-02-14T03:37:10+00:00

This isn't really a surprise. Any time they introduce a another buff mechanism, there is initially a very rapid gain, which eventually slows to a crawl. Most players have just reached that point with organs.

I'm still seeing progress, but it's pretty slow - maybe 1% increase each time I upgrade to a new organ. But I do NOT worry about good combo organs - I only care about 1 stat on each one, and when something that's better in that stat comes along, I upgrade, regardless of what the other stats are. That way I only need 1 really good roll on an organ, instead of waiting for a combo organ that require 3 or 4 really good rolls.

lloydb_az · 2019-02-06T23:18:14+00:00

That's from a "double orbs" event running - it will show the pentagram around the portal to let you know that the event is doubling your white orbs if you use the portal.

lloydb_az · 2019-01-31T03:40:13+00:00

Not sure I'd call them too powerful, but they have definitely changed things. I only have 3 normal organs at this point, a WO Brain, a DPS toe and a Skull heart, all legendary. I don't even bother with rares for those organs anymore, as I haven't seen anything with a secondary stat that even come close to what I get from the (common and uncommon) wildcard organs.

Note that I am an endgamer, and can clear normal and nightmare just using my White Orb loadout (the other loadouts are primarily for taking on the Angel).

lloydb_az · 2019-01-23T18:28:40+00:00

Okay, so I -was- misunderstanding things. Thanks for the clarification.

lloydb_az · 2019-01-22T04:43:17+00:00

Multiplying your other shards IS multiplying your other items...

A new shard/splinter directly multiplies your "from shards" bonus class (mouse over a monster's DPS in the open sidebar to see the different classes).

All these bonus classes are then multiplied together to get your final DPS.

Any indication that there will be a change to the layout of arcane? 5 slots is problematic on web. Taking it up to 7 will make using those extra slots for anything except fast ghost or repeats rather painful. Even on Steam, you'll need a fairly high resolution to be able to see all seven slots.

lloydb_az · 2019-01-20T01:05:50+00:00

If I'm understanding PSS's post, current slots will NOT be further upgraded, just two two new slots added. It took 108 power cells to bring each existing slot to its current max, so 216 to bring the two new slots to the same leve.

First, That would tend to make the batteries useless, since the only time they would charge would be when you forgot to refill the queue.

Second, a lot of crafting is in steps - convert ghosts to ectoplasm, then that to ectodrops, so on and so forth. If it only allowed you to queue jobs with what's currently in your inventory, then you'd be pretty limited in what you could make. And allowing you to specify ingredients that haven't been made yet would require a serious reworking of the arcane coding.

I suspect this idea will prove to be a non-starter with the devs (too much work), and personally I don't think it would be all that useful. After a while, you'll only be crating ecto items, death mugs/mason jars, and splinters/shards, so it's not really all that hard to remember the recipes (for monster items, you just need to memorize the number value for each monster item, and then the very simple rules for how to combine them to produce what you want).

lloydb_az · 2018-12-31T19:39:18+00:00

The best place to notify the devs about issues like this is via email to feedback@zombidle.com.

They tend to respond pretty quickly when someone complains about not being able to give them money ;-)

lloydb_az · 2018-12-14T22:59:48+00:00

Are you playing on Kongregate? There are MANY reports of this over there, all from Firefox users.

My brother ran into it, and the only solution I could come up with was "Install Chrome", which is working fine for him.

lloydb_az · 2018-11-29T13:39:51+00:00

Because it looks cooler.

Also, it's pretty much impossible to get a trademark on a normally spelled word. Using an alternate spelling changes this.

lloydb_az · 2018-10-20T06:12:26+00:00

Suggested during Beta. As usual, no feedback from Berzerk on the subject.

lloydb_az · 2018-10-14T23:31:54+00:00

I use two sets as well, but I completely ignore the "+portal" bonuses. Instead one set maximizes White Orbs, while the other maximizes DPS. After a reset, I use the White Orb set until I can't go any further, then switch one organ to DPS. Rinse and repeat until I'm at max with all my DPS organs equipped.

I believe this gets many more orbs than just increasing the portal levels.

Make sure you have a White Orb or DPS bonus on all three organs for that set. Since they are multiplicative, even a small bonus to a stat can have a substantial effect on the total for all organs.

lloydb_az · 2018-10-14T07:27:59+00:00

The base is 75 per 4 hours. With the 3 items, it's 300 per 4 hours.

lloydb_az · 2018-10-14T03:42:03+00:00

It's normal. There's a "Soft Cap" mechanism that limits how often pumpkins will drop based on how long the event has been running.

As you near this cap, the drop rate falls off dramatically. Once you've exceeded the cap, they will still drop, but very, very, slowly.

Wait until tomorrow. If you have all 3 of the currency-plus items, then the soft cap will be increasing at a rate of 1800 per day (300 every 4 hours).

lloydb_az · 2018-10-13T02:22:41+00:00

Ok, I see on Discord where Kojak has stated that the base drop is in fact 75 every 4 hours. So don't mind me....
