changing damage type is not possible except by replacing the unit, which is a super pain in the butt. (as far as I know thats the only way to change the attack type)- I agree very very difficult

The other suggestion would involve having 2 of each hybrid tower, and 3 of each triple-element tower... I agree not worth it.

about the interest rate in SR/AR, as you know me (and some others) were in favour of removing it, cause when being unlucky and getting it too much, theres simply no way to win on higher difficulties. since its back now up to level 10, why not bring it back completely, but simply lower the chance to get interest rate to half of the chances to get any other element. since there are 6 elements +interest rate, the chance to get one of these should be 1/7 to get each of those (if its calculated for all the same way) in the former versions. maybe just decrease the chance to get interest rate to like 1/15, maybe you get interest then only max. 1-2 times during the game.

I could do that yes. The thinking behind level 10 interest is that its good to get early and really can hurt if you get it at lvl 45. Also, more then 2 interest is game over if your playing AR/SR. I will consider the less chance but all the time proposal.

Just played a game and I noticed mid-way through the game there were moments of really bad lag. And it wasn't network lag either, and other people were experiencing it too, it was like the lag you get when there are 500 units on screen at once with 50spells going off at the same time lol..

booting?

Can anyone else manage to use the boot command in the latest b5 version??
I had some pretty bad laggers and I couldn't use the "-kick" command at all!

There will be a new elimination mode hopefully for Beta6. Possibly an -extreme mode as well.

Hey, I read through the thread and notice there's a lot of discussion in regards to the difficulty levels. Some want it harder, some want it easier...

I think options are key. Currently, VE/E/N are all about the same, with hard and VH both being just a little more difficulty. The problem is, since 2.5, enemies were buffed but gold remains the same. Buffing very easy because people win is a poor excuse. If people want a challenge, there are other options... not to mention, the self-raising difficulty is pretty adaptive.

I do agree that very hard is too easy, though. There needs to be another mode, past very hard. Very easy needs to be lightened up for newbs though. People experienced in TD can beat it on their first try, true, but people experienced in TDs shouldn't be choosing very easy anyway... noobs need an option.




An abuse that needs to be looked into is mass stun (mammoths). Mass mammoths with AoE slow (glacier) owns every difficulty, with the exception of only two waves (goblin shredders and eliminating ronalds).

Also, pure fires suck now. Pure earth is too strong. Earth's weakness wasn't DPS/splash, it was just projectile speed... early game Earth still sucks despite the buff, but late game has slow and stun, so the high DPS of pure Earth dominates.

Idea 1 is too hard to do, if not impossible.

Idea 2 I could do but would be a lot more work and definetly not worth it.

Yes its difficult, thats what makes it engaging ;).
QUOTE]

Yeah.. Sorry bout the insane Ideas. But I suggest you add command that the dificulty wont rise. Every time I played from very easy and lose no lives, it increased to easy, then normal. In the normal level, 40th round I always lose. And my record just 50th. Can u made it easier?
Anyway its a good game, and if we use the hero mode will the creep become stronger/ more number?

Thank You

Thank you so much for making elimination mode default!
I am so sick of having games where noobs join and vote for normal mode (and also even hero mode) or 'don't care' when they never even get CLOSE to level 60, making the rest of us who reach lvl60 have no elimination round!

btw, any chance of a -nohero mode? or has there been on all along and I never realized lol?

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
