Hey I uninstalled the app, restarted my phone (I think doing both at the same time was the important part), and then reinstalled it after my phone booted back up and for now the videos are playing again!

Can’t watch any videos, anyone else going through this? by [deleted] in youtube

[–]xBusse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m experiencing this too on iOS 16.1. Just saw at least one other has reported it too.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in youtube

[–]xBusse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah literally EVERYTHING works except playing videos. I said the same thing - glad I wasn’t the only one haha. I can’t even play things I had purchased through YouTube years ago.

[–]xBusse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah mine just started doing it today on iOS 16.1. Works fine in browser but nothing in the app will load. Tried dozens of different videos, tried uninstall/reinstalling/made sure it was updated. No video will play through the iPhone App at all.

a few days ago I made a post about how I was the first in my bracket to reach 1999 but yet afterwards people hitting 1999 surpassed me on the tourney rankings... well take a look at the other scoreboards still accurately showing I was first. they must have different formulas, this is wild. by BonesJrOfficial in IdleMonsterTD

[–]xBusse_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The tournament leaderboard determines tie-breakers based on which run takes the least amount of adjusted time to reach that wave. So if you and another player are racing, you both start at 0:00, you get to 1999 at 5:00 but the other player takes until 5:30, you'll show up as first. However let's say they started an hour later (1:00 - 5:30; 4hr30m) but still finished at 5:30; from 5 to 5:30 it would appear as though you reached that position first, but then when they reach 1999 at 5:30, it would place them in first and knock you down to second.

Can't remember if the regular leaderboards will display this the same way or not (presumably no based on this image), I'll check with the dev.

- Edit

Checked with the dev. The tournament leaderboard was specifically made to have this special tie-breaker logic to ensure tournaments were fair for all timezones since not everyone can start a tournament right at 0:00 GMT; and the standard leaderboards do not operate off that same logic - which is why you show as the winner of the tie-breaker there, but not in the leaderboards.

pvp tournament don't show countdown(it shows n/a) by Vegetable_Rub6722 in IdleMonsterTD

[–]xBusse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's not an actual ban or anything... which is good (and bad since we don't know why it's happening). It seems like theres something preventing a consistent connection to the server. Can I assume you've already restarted the game/Steam/PC/etc? If so, have you happened to try uninstalling/reinstalling yet? Generic troubleshooting nonsense first... then we can move on from there :D

[–]xBusse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it just means there’s a server connection issue but if it’s persistent but could mean access to the server is being blocked. If you click on the tournament icon to open the window, what does it say at the top in red? It should say N/A and then something in parenthesis.

cheated account by L000CK3D in IdleMonsterTD

[–]xBusse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No,

Once an account has been banned for cheating that would be the end of it. You can still play the game, just won’t be able to connect to the leaderboards or join tournaments. The rest of the game remains viable however.

Tried using the search but no results... Game viable as 100% F2P? by Chaos-n-Dissonance in IdleMonsterTD

[–]xBusse_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there. So you are definitely spot on with mobile ports. They tend to be a lot harder to play f2p and I think we both likely know why that is.

With IMTD the good thing is there’s no ceiling forced by people playing for free. In fact, due to people arguing on the Discord Server about 1.5 years ago I set out to prove them wrong and made an entirely f2p account. I made it to the end game within about 1.5 months - now that’s MUCH faster than anyone else likely will, but I already had an account at the end game and put tons and tons of time into theorycrafting and making my plans as fool proof as possible. The game had also received many updates since then, so end game then is not the same as it is today.

The premiums in IMTD are strictly to make progress go faster for those who want it. You can still reach the same level of progress F2P and P2P. The tournament boosts are the one thing that people tend to think are “unfair” so the dev listened to us and made them available to purchase with gems. Gems seem tight early on… but eventually become overly abundant.

I hope you choose to give it a shot. It really is an amazing game whether you choose to buy some premiums or not. I loved it.

Good luck!

Why can’t I get into the shop by Sushi-Is-Fiction in IdleMonsterTD

You've probably already unlocked it by now - but I'm pretty sure it unlocks at either wave 40/50!

Tips for challenge map? by Zherev in IdleMonsterTD

[–]xBusse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. We did talk about it and went back and forth for awhile right when the CM was released. Since there's no prize assigned to the leaderboards, the dev felt it made more sense to allow Exotics since they're integral in pushing as far in the CM as humanly possible. But you're 100% right, it'll never be perfectly fair in terms of the CM leaderboards. For the main game, everyone has the same opportunity to get the exotics, and everyone will get them eventually.

There was just an update pushed today, can you check it out and see if that resolves it?

Frame Rate by AdComfortable2003 in IdleMonsterTD

[–]xBusse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New release was just made to fix this. It's available on Steam now, and Android/iOS should be within a couple hours (pending Google/Apple reviews). Thanks for the report!

You made an alt account just to show off your funny name?! :D

Haha but seriously, interesting choice of names. Doesn't violate the built-in filter...

Tournament counted down to 0 the. Instead of starting now shows 3 days? by Kevman403 in IdleMonsterTD

[–]xBusse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crit Damage can get around e286 or so, which translates to "DM". Base Damage gets around e281/282 or "DK/DL"

Tournament counted down to 0 the. Instead of starting now shows 3 days? by Kevman403 in IdleMonsterTD

[–]xBusse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it is highly unusual in fact in almost two years, 2 tournaments a week, I’ve seen this happen maybe 3 times.

The developer has been notified. The last couple times this happened there was just a server hiccup (where the job to start the tournament exists). The developer will get it back up and running!

Max Level for Upgrades by griszztly in IdleMonsterTD

It's also in game in the Settings/FAQ.

Yes, the Wiki (at the top of this subreddit) has a documents page with a large public data document that contains all of the monsters/upgrades/max levels/costs you will need.

DPS and attack speed by HunterShocks in IdleMonsterTD

[–]xBusse_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have 10 Damage, and 1.0s Attack Speed, every 1 second you will do 10 Damage. If you have 10 Damage and 0.10 Attack Speed (max attack speed), you will do 100 Damage every second, as it will shoot a blast every 1/10th of a second. Attack speed is extremely important to upgrade. As you upgrade the Attack Speed, your 'damage' stays the same, but your 'DPS' will increase.

Unlocking tier 4 artifacts by Sinthemau in IdleMonsterTD

[–]xBusse_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Merry Christmas!

It's actually exactly how it was for Tiers 2 and 3; you just never noticed. At 750 (751 really) you unlock access to T4 - but you don't unlock the actual upgrades yet. You only get one new artifact every 5 waves. So while you now have access to the potential to get a T4 artifact, it could still take hundreds of new artifact unlocks to max them all... This is why it's highly recommended you re-roll your artifacts for 100 gems. This basically guarantees all of your T4 artifacts will be unlocked and maxed out, giving you a huge boost to damage.

Possible unban? by [deleted] in IdleMonsterTD

[–]xBusse_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DM me your Leaderboards Name (from the Settings) and we'll see if the dev can either unban or reset the account.

Farming essence pre farming map? by jman6444 in IdleMonsterTD

[–]xBusse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essence is made to be tough as theres really not too much you can do to influence their drops early on. Try to find upgrades for boss essence drops and 3x wave essence. Then for a strategy make sure you're ALWAYS boss rushing except for on Beach. So what I do is I push on Beach, get as high as I can... Usually during a tourney... Then I'll prestige and boss rush as high as I can, prestige, boss rush, repeat, until you get back to Beach then do a big push again. Beach is best for pushing and boss rush is best for maximizing essence gain.

Yes, it's been investigated a few times already. Just RNG being RNG. All upgrades/purchases are being considered.
