I did get Zircon yesterday. No Peridot, Topaz, or Ruby this time. Oh well. At least Iāll be ready for next time.
No 5* ninjas, no 4* ninjas. Got bored of the tower at about 6 in impossible.
From 83 pulls I got useless Justice, useless Khagan and single 4* ninja, Shale. This is after 110 pulls with no 5*. I am tired of this game, thus for the first time I will not complete the tower, as I am not willing to give any more gems to SGG. And I am not doing any pulls in Atlantis, and neither in ToL if it wonāt feature costumed heroes (maybe if there will be C-GM).
I decided not to buy any offers in the Tower for the first time since the Towers were introduced. I planned to finish it but after we lost a day and SG didnāt extend the event, I decide not to grind and sacrifice family time during the weekend. Costume bug was yet another bitter experience during this past few days.
Lately there is so many bugs, that it looks like in this rush to introduce handful of new heroes every month, game stability was pushed way down in the hierarchy. Itās not good for us players as probably more and more issues will occur. I think SG should make step back and focus more on game stability now, before all issues will hit game even harder.
For me almost the same I played only with āfreeā energy and i bought a small offer, now I am wondering if SG makes any conclusion from the mess they did. Honestly, I doubt IT.
Not sure if there was a change is the tower format (enemy stats etc) or itās due to my roster improvement, but I found it much easier to finish missions this time, even on impossible. The grind is still there, but somehow less.
On the other hand, not being able to use costumes and getting half of the Oni curse stones on the edges with no way to advert them, made the entire experience meh . I am at level 15 now, I will see if I am in the mood to use the second received flasks to move forward (I also got killed a few times before completing the mission, usually for using too weak heroes while trying to save my strong ones for later)
I found the NT easier as well, but now I have more heroes that play an excellent role here.
I reached the impossible level 25 (I wonāt go on as I donāt have gems and above all, I donāt have time) with Gullin, LotL, Treevil and QoH (the blue one was variable) and I went with this team since the beginning of the impossible level. The boards were really generous and I only had to use around 5 tornadoes to save them from the second Oni stone.
The bosses hardly released their specials and whenever they were able to, QoH protected the team really well.
A pity I canāt go on, as this was the first time I was having fun with this tower despite the time that takes each stage.
Itās the first time Iām completing the first 10 impossible floors. And it was quite fun as I didnāt care about the score and the heroes.
I only cursed 3-4 heroes while playing those 35 floors (in total) and I only used small items 1* or 2*, mostly antidotes.
Had 7 summons, all 3* but I got the HOTM so Iām happy.
Edit:
Seems like Iām not the only one who had fun for the first time.
Nice.
This time I put extremely little effort into the Tower, and I used 0 Tornados in the whole journey, and I was used minimal items as well (20-30 bomb attacks, axes and arrows and maybe 60-70 minior mana and healing poitions in total)
I used free energy only (40 in total).
I have reached this far.
I will keep my gifted Tower Energy Flasks for Tower of Magic, where the bosses are easier, and hopefuly there will be no bugs.
Well I was aiming for an item-lite tower and as I have Xnol I managed that. I donāt quite have the set up for the infinity loop as I have to bring heroes that break that but still I did it all with a much lower cost than previous version. Definitely a lot less stressful than previous versions and hasnāt ruined the next event for me by burning my mini-manas up.
Hoping to hold Top 1k
Completed the whole thing, wasnāt able to make the video on the last 5 floors as it was too late and I was too tired. Hereās my final score minutes before the end of the event, meaning I secured top 5000.
Same tactic used, although I replaced the useless Time Stops with Hurricanes for backup at floor 36+. Ended up using 7 of those.
Ended up with a team of half-cursed heroes, and the only ones actually completely lost to curses were Treevil and Wu Kong. Thankfully I had spares, which is why I allowed it.
The floors were a grind not because bosses or monsters were dangerous - after applying the usual tactic they werenāt. The real ābossesā were the curses, which sometimes made me think for a whole minute. I guess I would waste far less items and time if I had multiple key heroes to choose from.
Well, at least this time the whole thing cost me only 150 gems, āthanksā SG.
In comparison, felt harder than the Tower of Magic.
Bought out all the offers. Weeks ago I told myself that this iteration of Ninja Tower is the last event on which I will spend more than few pennys on, at least for a longer while. I like Ninjas, just miss any of the red ones - thatās the last thing I wanted from this game. This game is too carnivorous recently, and real life is getting far more expensive. So if I celebrate my wallet leaving, why not celebrating it with a style.
But then, all the offers cost me like 150 USD and brought me a huge giant square Itās insane how little you get in this game for money like that. No pity counters, no consolation chest, nothing. In the end, about 20,000+ gems spent + over 50 coin pulls and I only got Peridot - which now I see as huge luck actually. If I kept spending Iād probably have to swallow 5 duplicates of other Ninjas until I get one I donāt have (and thatās another 100,000 gems? really?).
Event wise, I finished in top 1000 but completing it was terrible experience. Some probably remember how I always argued with people who hated towers, and I really liked the event. Well not anymore, the rework was too much even for me. With the shortened duration due to their bugs I had to spend couple hours every late night on weekend, cost my a decent amount of sleeping time, and for rewards this ungrateful.
To cheer things up, no red Ninja means I ascended Asterius with the saved rings and at least heās something new to play with for some time.
Another event, another sour result.
Atleast you got one
Maybe time to reconsider Anzogh
With season 5 and war of three kingdoms, having dmg dealers who can clear small minions and clear fiends all in one go seams like a great deal
From level 10 it takes more than 10minutes each level, it takes more than 400minutes, is this fun?
I didnāt complete any towers because it got too boring.
I still remember the time when it was 50 levels and everyone complained, now with 75 no one says anything.
Kudos to SG for destroying the fun and excitement of the game, as what was fun has now become boring.
Continue without helping those who play and only favor those who spend.
The game has to be profitable, but not so much selfishness was necessary.
Made it through impossible level 10 and finished 68K. Alt with 0 score finished 979,811.
I was at a wedding this weekend and thought I was going to have more time to play and just mistimed things so left a few flags unused. I think this is the first time Iāve left event flags unused?
The first day not being accessable was an unfortunate bug. 2 flasks was acceptable compensation. It did create a time crunch, but still plenty of time to finish the first 25. Anything impossible is up to you if you want.
I did not encounter the costume bug.
And the scores were doubled making a third bug.
Quite a strange week. It created outrage. Didnāt change my opinion at all.
The mana boost on special skill is by far the best rare blessing. Once you get it twice you basically use specials, make one move, then use all specials again. On the last 10 levels I ran I essentially went rainbow. Gullinbursti - Freya - Isarnia - Khagan - Little John. I just hit and hit and hit over and over again.
The challenge is gone, especially because Iām not going to impossible level 50.
I guess oni curses are the challenge now. I didnāt use anything other than arrows and minor mana pots. Curses didnāt bother me.
Troop portal is now the best part of ninja tower.
I should probably autoplay it more often since level is the first determinant of rank. It essentially means score doesntā matter unless youāre going high up or as a tiebreaker among a small group.
And they will probably remove them.
Because either that or nerf Xnolphod, and they wonāt nerf Xnolphod.
Thereās a good third solution, mentioned by @PlayForFun in the topic you posted a link to.
āThe problem is that after 10 special skill usages all special skills should deal only 1 damage.ā
It supposed to work like that according to my earlier testing in Beta.
Every time this community asked for something it went in a ācareful what you wish forā way.
Fingers crossed but in the past every time someone suggested something good, SG took easy/lazy/greedy way to āfixā things. Donāt expect anything different.
First costume chamber. First rewards from weekly tournaments. Rewards from CoK. Tower rework. Every minor issue players ask to fix is fixed in a way that it becomes a MAJOR issue. But good luck believing this one will be different.
