Downloaded this - load screens are insane due to having to hit the server every time which is annoying. There seems to be a sort of guild system in there at some point based on the UI and chat system area. Is this something going and is there a goon guild? And if so we might as well start another thread, even if short lived, for people to post codes in. I just assume I'm not far enough through the tutorial to unlock it. Or maybe I just am making a bad assumption.

Everyone agrees Monk is the easiest class.

Basically for each class it's typically easier to figure out how to make sure the health bar doesn't move than to try and heal up - but I'm sure we all beat it with each class in different ways.

That's as helpful as I can be while staying vague. Happy to give more specific tips if you want.

You have the option of disabling the ads in Tiny Tower and they won't use bandwidth. Does Egg Inc have the ability to do that? I don't remember.

Re: Shadow Wars

Just got 400 Obsidian, which is enough to form a guild.

I'm giving 24 hour notice. If you already have formed a guild and are a goon just poast to let us know. Otherwise I'll form a new guild sometime tomorrow.

Thanks to Exmond, we now know there are two "goon squad" guilds out there.


So Shadow War players I need the following from you:

1) A good drat name (I suggested Awful -- which would be Awful Syndicate; this is an uninspired name)

2) Vote for the color of the units that you want to see boosted. Ie our guild faction.

There are 2 guilds that look like they may be related to us. I'll join GoonSwarm first in case someone wants to try the other.

I can use my gems if you want as I have nearly 1000 saved up right now. I'm more than happy, and would prefer, to pass leadership if it's possible.

It looks like we need to select a faction based on the color of gems, but I haven't found much related to the background stories for each yet. I did notice every guild (all 5 of them) recruiting on the sub-reddit was going white so would suggest we don't do that as it. I'd guess most guilds go for Black/Purple(?) or White as they relate to the games name.

My opinion was green to match our frog, but don't care all that much if others have an opinion - or even better story info to base something on.

Hit them then just walk into them. Also the water gun dog boss is easy as pie. Just keep hitting his head. The water cannon is easy to avoid, and the dogs are only a minor annoyance. If you haven't bought the double-jumpkick yet you cannot win the game.

That final boss was insane though. Just insane.

Yup, just walk into them. Hitting them first helps, because you stun lock them and then they are easier to grab without getting hit. There are some enemies (shield enemies, for example) that cannot be grabbed, but most can.

As for the water gun boss (we call him... ROBORIOT!), the trick is to jump and land on the "trunk" and then hit it on the head. It does a "hose" spinning attack when you are there, so watch out for that.

I think the bosses' names do not show up anywhere, but my internal name for the final boss is TEH PIECEMAKER!

I find Light and Water the most practical colors.

Dhuul the starter water tank is my go to unit and usually ends up damaged and needs cooldown reduction.

Helle and Eustace are must have units given how they don't have weaknesses and can steamroll/burst everything down.

I'm inclined to agree.



For those who don't know guilds do the following things:

-) Choice of guild's color allows you to get perks for units of that color. For example, reduced cooldown on injured Blue units (faster healing) if you belong to and unlock the appropriate perk in the ESD syndicate. Another perk is a bonus to experience/faster leveling.

-) Guild levels go up to 5.

-) Guild turn Raw Cocaine er ... Arc Dust into ... Arc Tablets which can be used to buy units and artifacts if you are lucky enough to get a special screen after a battle. Arc "Gel Caps" (Salts) are the thing you use to feed to your monsters to enhance their stats by 5% per Gel Cap not cocaine at all.

-) Guild raids coming soon

I haven't tried it myself, so take it with a grain of salt, but from what I hear it's not very good. It's base CivRev without any of the gameplay improvements that have raised it from 'passable' to 'decent' over the years, and with fancier graphics (that cause hella slowdown).

Goonamancers guild created. We are a Water guild (also the supernatural police according to the lore so :siren:)

Blue Lives Matter. Get out and shine your nightstick.

Please

-) Indicate you are SA when joining so I can kick bots/pubbies

-) Contribute offensive police jokes

-) Click on the purple up arrow on the main Syndicate page to reach the Perks section. DO contribute coins. DO NOT contribute Obsidian or Arc (Tablets). Keep those and grow strong young Goonamancer.

-) Minor Op will be up this weekend so the main thread doesn't get annoyed. Hi guys.

Can you save a spot for 'Xianxia'.
I'll join after 1day 20hrs, waiting for pubbie guild ARC payout.

For perk donations, new players should donate until it hits 1k coins and get a free supply box.

At most you can get 2 supply box but to get the 2nd box you need to donate 3500 coins.

Is Long Wei event only or can we unlock him later.

I played it on Steam a bit so I think it's SUPPOSED to have music, and there's even a music volume bar in the settings, but no matter what I do - including restarting my phone, reinstalling the game, etc - I cannot get the app to play any of its music for me.

All the reviews mention lots of bugs so I imagine that its a bug and I wouldn't imagine its getting fixed anytime soon. I'm gonna download the game and see how it runs on my 7+ though.
