Yeah, Mercy is just 12h as Good/Evil/Neutral rather than 12 as each race.

It's really good, it's only 1.5 days, and the bullshit waits to unlock things only gets worse from there.

Emron posted:That research that requires 12 hours as each faction can gently caress off. I'm not wasting 6 days on one reincarnation for that! The hours played as each faction does not reset between reincarnations. By the time you get this far you should have a good few hours on every faction. Unless i am remembering wrong.

Ineptitude posted:Its alright. It really satisfies the "get bigger numbers" itch as there are a ton of progression paths. I've been finding the game pretty fun. I don't think early deep runs are the best way to get rebirth stones, particularly since you can get some from the Tower of Trials. Several tips (hopefully others can share theirs too!): There's an option to auto-manage your gear, equipping each guy with the highest DPS weapon and selling the rest. This is really good. Mr Death mercenary is really good. His automatic skill makes it so that if he kills an enemy, it explodes and deals damage proportional to its life. This can kill other enemies who also explode, creating a chain that will wipe out most of the screen. Really good to speed things up if you're dominating content. The Tower of Trials challenge maps are generally made so that you can defeat one more map every 20 Days. If you beat them on the hardest of the three modes you can choose, you get extra rewards if you beat them 'on time', e.g. floor 1 before Day 20, floor 2 before Day 40, etc. This reward includes accessories (equip to your mercs!), Rebirth Stones (earned right away, not later on rebirth), and Medal of Trials (used to enhance your mercs permanently, but takes a lot). If you select a Merc in the character screen, you can choose a 'Preferred Skill' that they will level up higher than their other skills. I like choosing the passive skills, or Mr. Death's Soul Burst skill that explodes guys. Enhancing/Modifying equipment. Early on, you get a lot of upgrades just by finding them, but this slows down a lot in the later game, and your characters have probably outleveled their weapons (e.g. they could equip a level 500 mace, but all you have found is level 300 maces). In this case (and even early on, but it's less necessary unless you're on the border of beating content) you can work on crafting your weapons. It doesn't cost much gold compared to what you earn, unless you are Modifying really high. Enhancing straight up adds levels to your weapon. Starting out you can enhance 4 times per 'Day' - read Day as level, not real day. With research that goes up to 5 times per Day, then later research gives you two levels per enhance. So down the road you can add a total of 10 weapon levels per day. Pick your 1-2 dudes of choice, and keep their weapons topped up! Modifying lets you change the modifiers on weapons - it's kind of like rerolling suffixes/affixes on Diablo 3 weapons. Each time you reroll one, you get a random affix like +% Dmg, or Attack speed, but it also bumps up the modifier level by one, and makes it stronger. Higher rarity weapons have more slots, generally. Later research lets you unlock slots I think.

Another tip: the ogre may seem lovely, but once you get points in Giant Weapon, he's incredible. My best teams were ogre, Mr Death and magical girl (for heals), skeleton and sword (for the gold bonuses). After a while your merc will be the source of, like, 95% or more of your team damage, so your team build is more about support abilities. The % you see next to a weapon is a good indication of its long term viability. Eventually you can unlock an ability to keep a weapon through a prestige. I'd try to find an orange weapon with >98% and stuck with it. Enhancing makes a huge impact and eventually becomes your main source of incremental damage each day. It still takes way too long to progress, in my opinion. It seems balanced toward guys who post on the subreddit.

I'm hitting a wall in Mine Defense that feels like I'm just doing it wrong. I need food to level up my dragon from a teenager (then population for the next stage). I have 1B of every hireling (including Neurochrysalis), I'm slowly moving towards 100 Dragon Hunters, but I can't figure out what I should be doing for food income. I know there's an Alchemist upgrade at 200 to double speed, but I currently make something like 4.5M hirelings per second with my 172 so I can't push for 1T anywhere easily yet and World Eaters aren't producing enough Dirt to turn into Stone > Iron > Steel > Food quickly. Is there some better path to Food I'm missing, or should I be making more World Eaters (2.5B currently) or should I just keep making more Bloodhounds/leveling the Water Shrine to try to get my Alchemist yield up?

I think you're just in a slow patch...try to get all 4 shrines, since then you can build mages and alchemists at the machinist for a flat cost, ignoring the exponential scaling for buying them. That's a big jump IIRC. EDIT: And when you get the upgrades that give essence for killing goblins don't neglect goblin-slaying, it'll be a significant amount of your essence income.

If you use that autoclicker and autoquarry script that was posted before it will significantly increase your alchemist count which really speeds that part of the game up.

Dungeon Defense: The 'Equalize Enhance' button is probably the most helpful thing so far, I make sure to click it every day and with the appropriate research it'll put my gear so ahead of the curve that eventually the game refuses to auto-equip any new legendaries because my lovely whites/blues from day 50 are still better. That said, I get the feeling that until I've absolutely unlocked every auto-feature available pushing past 100 isn't really worth it; the initial reward is too big compared to the paltry amount you get from the progressively longer days. I think I've reached about day 500 on hard for the cheevos, but in that span of time I probably could've run five or more 100-day segments instead for a bigger payout. It doesn't help that my old phone chugs from processing 10 enemy waves onscreen at once.

You want legendary weapons because they enhance more per enhancement and have more slots for perks.

i generally name my builds with the gem level i start using them at. so i have "faceless e28", "faceless e42" etc. it's a little trickier pre-ascension because you have pre-mercs, mercs, research to keep track of, but as you get through ascensions you can skip more and more steps, which is helpful.

I'm at 28 myself and my routine for the last couple of reincarnations has been to simply turn on Elf bloodine and choose Demons - I'll spend the evening abdicating my way up the gems until I go to bed, wake up and I'm in the early 70s ready for the cookie cutter Elf research build. If I'm not I'll just switch to Diamond Forge mercs and go to work. Or at least that was what I was doing, but I've spent the last week spinning my tires collecting the cool lore artifacts with requirements like "20,000 fairy chantings" and "just play Angels over and over again".

At this point in the game you will get most of these resources via the trading post. Wait for a time when the rate is high (the higher the number when you hover over a trade the better) and you should be able to get a bajillion food for nothing.

I prefer the Diamond Forge variant - you don't get as much as a good Lightning Strike, but with a high enough reincarnation/gem count you'll blitz through it too fast to even notice.

That's worth a try since I'll be in R34 once I finish off Mercy. I need to leave titan running to get its last challenge (WHICH IS DUMB AS HELL BY THE WAY), but I need 5 days in Druid for other good researches. I'm conflicted.

RG succeeds more than any other game of its type (at least that I've played) in changing up its mechanics and keeping things fresh/interesting. Every so often, it introduces a new layer of complexity and totally switches how you play/think about it.

I can't remember the name of a space themed active/idle incremental upgrade game. It starts off with a crank and you have to hold the mouse button over the crank to make it turn and you unlock bots to turn the crank for you and then get batteries and solar panels and stuff and eventually jump between stars and fight ships. Anyone know what game that is and got a link? I'd like to give it another go...
