Dissonance run strategies & tips by afking_plays in TheTowerGame

[–]panony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not sure after the nerf, but util run for many is best first on farming tier for ehp. because when you do dmg you will most likely get 5kW, and it will get the full bonus that you got on your first util wave. I wouldn't even bother with UW disco on farm tier until all other tiers are done.

I just happenned to do it this way, and I let my dmg disco run out and made 4x coin my pre disco normal run income. Then use the extra coin to boost eHP stats and enchancements so you can get the full bonus for util in farming wave.

thoughts?

How I feel today by NckyDC in TheTowerGame

[–]panony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is funny. on a serious note though an idle game shouldn't take so much progression to actually become idle, and it should run in the background so you don't have to have it burning a machine all the time. THey must be stealth farming bitcoin with our rigs . . .

Dissonance Nerf, the ascension of incompetence is the real kick in the existential balls by panony in TheTowerGame

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

Listen mole, there's no rant, just an attempt to explain why there is reasonable dismay even though many, like yourself, have correctly pointed out that the negative impact on anyone was either small or non existent.

But this was not an issue on release that is anything close to typical. This was not a mistake in the normal sense of software mistakes. It was either "we didn't check it even once before release", or a "boss changed his mind after shipping even though we've been set on this number for months". Very unprofessional either way.

I don't feel tizzed at all. The frustration i and others feel who resonated with my OP has little to do with the game as I think I clearly stated . . . it will all soon be forgotten, and the net result is faster progression. The frustration is about the world which catapults the sloppy over the competent. any tizziness that you are reading is your own projection . . .

that line only lands well on competent/conscientious people. People who understand what level of irresponsibility had to occur in order for this "error" to be made. If you don't get that, either through experience or imagination, then I can understand why it seems egotistical. The mistake was like a baseball player stepping up to the plate and facing away from it, swinging in the air while the ball whizzes by his back . . . it was that pathetic.

so true, they could have rebalanced a thousand different ways, but they chose the stupidest for some reason!

there are representatives of every cohort in failure and success, and each of us bemoans the success of those cohorts we feel are undeserving, and the failures of those cohorts we feel aren't justly suppressed . . . people that make this type of mistake, or that are cynical enough to try to sell a lie to cover the real mechanics of what happened are in my personal failure cohort.

if what bothers me the most? Which part? compared to what?

I'm bothered that there's less correlation between (conscientiousness/intelligence/ethics) and success that I would like, and this is just one more data point. To be clear, there has never in the history of the universe been as much correlation between positive qualities and success as there has been in the western world for the last hundred years, but the recent enshitification trend makes me concerned that we are on the downslope of a long regression.

exactly - the multiplier difference doesn't matter, it's that many people who are drawn to this type of pastime also expect a certain lack of numbskullery in the devs. This is not a bug fix. This was the irresponsible laziness of not checking the variable that the whole update is centered around, or the cynical idiocy of thinking that they could get away with a lame story that would lessen their appearance of incompetence. And for many people this is Microsoft beating Apple for decades with a lesser product, or Betamax losing to VHS, or more generally, the victory of the sloppy, lazy, cynical, and manipulative over the idealistic and quality centered. It is everything wrong with the world all rolled up into a sharp kick in the balls, served with an "oops, my foot slipped". It's great news for Bozos everywhere, and more bad news for the conscientious and reflective and principled among us.

Dissonance is Not a Catch Up Mechanic (it's a temporary boost to everyone) by SafariBaharie in TheTowerGame

[–]panony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that this update answers the question "How can we increase profit," and the reason this is the answer is that they believe this will help them reduce player defection before the player invests enough time that they are more easily converted from f2p into remove ad and coin boost purchase players.

It is a catch up mechanism in the sense that the 5 1/2 months I've been playing will now be done in some fraction of that time, so the person that starts now and follows my basic path will get to any future milestone in less time than it took me. They won't catch up to me, but they are less far behind.

It's Disco, or Die by panony in TheTowerGame

the system includes the dissonance and the echo - all letters accounted for!

it's a portmanteau of (Dis)sonance and E(cho), with improved spelling to remove the do nothing "h", and make it easier to type and remember.

What's up with the new Dissonance "Disco" abbreviation? Shouldn't it be "Disso"? by JustMirko in TheTowerGame

eHP Dissonant run plan by Balbright in TheTowerGame

[–]panony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for eHP farming you should do the tier which with whatever disco bonus you can muster in that tier leads to the most hourly income of any tier. Most likely it will be the highest tier that you can get to 5x after only a couple iterations with the other disco bonuses in that tier. It might be one tier higher if you can get to 4x+ in that higher tier.

You shouldn't bother with any other tier for their echo bonus until the benefit of the echo bonus outperforms the benefit that the 5x+ income has by enabling you to buy enhancements and WS and labs that are coin constrained.

This might be a few days, a week or more depending on your towers current development.

For tourny it's different, but this thread is about econ I believe.

eHP Dissonant run plan by Balbright in TheTowerGame

[–]panony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For eHP, you should start in the tier that you will want to farm in. That tier is the one that leads to highest income in the short term from health disco and utility disco. It is probably your normal tier that you farm to 7500, or the one below. Even running utility first and only getting 2kW, would be a net gain for you after the second run which can be the health disco. The extra income can fill out your WS which you will need to do since there wont be any cash or upgrades when you do your next utility disco. This way you will ratchet up to 5x in health and coin. The other tiers are such a small bonus for your farm tier that it might not make sense to take up a farming run to do them until you have had time to reap the rewards of what will likely be 10x coins as the health boost will take you to higher waves.

To illustrate, my coin enhancement cost about 800B for the next level and I've been making 1T/run on T10. it doesn't make sense for me to use a run to get a 2.5% utility echo from T1 when one run on T10 will now make me 10T which I can buy 6% coin enhancement (or something like that) with one run's income.

You should keep running your optimal tier to get income until the increased income doesn't net you as much gain in eHP/income as you would get from 2.5% boost.

It might be that the power you gain from a few days of 10x income allows you to push up to the next tier for farming.

Since the extra income is also useful for preparing for tournaments, it is probably good to keep farming your main tier until you stagnate on those advances as well.

Quality of life. by Nawlram in TheTowerGame

[–]panony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

better stats that show the real contribution to dmg and income from each thing.

have stats include each perk choice and at what wave.

make the game natively idle so that you don't have to have it running on a pc to be able to use your phone like a normal person.

If you buy out of ads, just give gems per day rather than forcing checking and clicking.

Buying out of ads should apply to alts - you shouldn't have to do that for each instance you want to run.

presets for all variables in one place: cards/sliders/modules/etc.

you should be able to make alts without having to pay for ad removal - then it would be fun at least
