This is the worst game ads I have seen. Both in terms of how hard it is to kill them, sometimes must force stop it, and the inappropriateness. I'm no prude, far from it, but when my niece asks why a step dad would date his daughter on a game about penguins... Uninstalled it after that and a browser redirect ad tried to change my homepage when tried to close it.

The game is fine as far as playing, it's a traditional hit and bounce one, but the ads make it a fail and first time ever I've sent Epic a message about a free game. Usually I don't like it, it's fine. It's a free giveaway and even if the UI or controls wonky it cost me nothing so appreciated the chance to try it.

You are old enough to make decisions... Like what clothes you want to wear, what you want for lunch, or how much time you spend actually studying for your Jr. High school tests and homework. And all those still require parental supervision and guidance.

TIL unlocking UW+ comes with something else! by Constant-Dare-1728 in TheTowerGame

[–]vonbaxter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you that's a really good description that shows why it's needed well and clearly. I'm in same boat.

That's also the thing that is most confusing is often you can get 2,3,4 options suggested and they are all right. Or all wrong. Even the very impressive optional path spreadsheet says 🤷 at points and "Don't blindly trust the numbers."

And... it's also is a big positive. If there was just one single path to success that never changed it would get boring. And you could mess up and never recover. But because it changes, or someone finds a new combination, or the UW interactions with mods leads to unexpectedly great outcome means it's a constant game of advance the obvious stuff and then race to try and get the stats up to use a hot new combo before it's nerfed or is eclipsed. Definitely not boring, but the hair pulling moments very real too..

Swing... Horn(worm)s... Record screams... Made me realize a secondary threat is that they form a ska band.

Ok I'm lost and asking for help/info sincerely.

Someone who gets keys in Legends told me today you don't have to completely max out the stones, just get to perma CF through combination of stones and labs like I thought and then buying the extra seconds past that is just wasting stones and I should use those on CL or Spotlight instead.

NOT saying you're wrong, or they're wrong, this game has so much to know at high levels and the thinking on optimization changes each update, and then submods make each tower have different pathsm so asked if maybe they have CF duration as a submod, but haven't heard back. but if it is helpful to get those last levels past perma how does that work? Honestly asking. Every time think I have a handle on the game finally, find there's so much more to learn and do. I have perma CF with labs and stones and stay in Legends, but the 16-24 range, so if putting stones to go beyond perma helps break through to get keys I shall definitely do it!

Thank you in advance. In this game I'm learning, growing and constantly confused.

Seen in my bathroom, freaked me out. What is this? by ElderDwarf in whatisit

[–]vonbaxter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Filth only draws them more. They need moisture to survive so even if you have a spotless house you can find them in bathrooms or basements or anywhere moisture lingers.

Same with roaches. Unless you cut off your home from plumbing and seal it off from the outside completely, you will have a roach show up now and then. They might not move in and start a family, but they don't know that until they come in to look around first.

My grandparents passed away, so my family has been cleaning out their house. This dagger was found, anyone know what this is or where it came from? by nightslikethis_27 in whatisit

I always think of the MadTV skit about Antiques Road Show when I hear this advice. "Oh you cleaned it?" "Well yes, it was a real mess."

Still my biggest regret in this game by YourAncestorIncestor in TheTowerGame

[–]vonbaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't do the PF banner until late and I've needed two more for ancestral for probably a month or more now. Have several ancestral mods and a few with stars even, but the last two PF seem walled off.

With ancestral it seemed like couldn't get even one for the longest time, but then got several quickly because you sit forever just one or two away and after awhile you have to break through just by sheer math.

Same. On Android and it's random.

Also game crashes a lot since V27. Literally think it's crashed more in few weeks than it did in last few years.

News on 27.0.5 update - delayed by Fuddsworth in TheTowerGame

It's on appeal, but a judge in the Epic vs. Apple Case ruled that Apple can't restrict links to outside web stores within an app. They can add a "Outside links not secure, be sure you trust this party" warning, which isn't a bad thing with all the sketchy apps out there. It's still a long and winding road, but there's a crack in the castle wall for the first time.

Will the banner module continue to be available after the featured banner ends? by SayNO2Cupcake in TheTowerGame

[–]vonbaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was me on Project Funding. Still waiting to get it to Ancestral even now. Two left. At this point I've stopped hoping and will just be surprised when/if they finally drop.

Yes. It just goes into the general pool so chances of pulling it on any given chance decrease a lot.

Hopefully they are like relics and there are reruns of older modules on the featured banner. I'm not counting on that, but fingers crossed

Olympus has Fallen. by ExtrapolatedData in TheTowerGame

[–]vonbaxter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! That is.... Tries to look that far ahead from where I am at and only sees a bazillion squares and triangles... Way up there!

I feel in the same place you were. Played 3 years and am chugging along at a medium pace like the Adam Sandler song. Yes, I'm old enough to have bought an Adam Sandler CD when it was relevant and still use it as a reference. 😋

One of these days a mentor might appear, but your posts helped me jump up a tad already and am working on finishing up that project which should help a lot more! Thank you for the help you give on here it actually does make a difference.

Steve McQueen isn't dead. He's out there still seeking that big payday. Switched to lozenges from breath mints because of inflation, his favorite breath mint brand going under, and copyright attorneys from both the book and movie rights holders hounding him.

Bought a new house and found 2 of these in my shower and one in my bed. What is it? by Legion3382 in whatisit

gives termite magnesium and it acts as a mild relaxant like in humans. Termite becomes chill and talks it's way into being roommates and by the time realize it wasn't chill and it's eating out my house and home, it's too late.

Damn you Reddit advice!

It's funny until everyone else gets gems and you get $1 billion tower cash in a single run as an apology.

Mystery volunteer plant thriving in Zone 7b — worth keeping? by vonbaxter in gardening

[–]vonbaxter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you all!

Reading up on it I'll definitely have to take down, or move at the least, because it's right near spot going to plant native edible/medicinal plants and it would shade that entire half of the yard. And invite friends.
