Does Antimatter Dimensions ever become more than reset to make number bigger faster? Why can't more games be like Mine Defense where there's more progression than number = bigger?

So I've pretty much seen every mechanic and it's just different ways to reset and go faster?

I reinstalled the app Idle Kingdom Clicker. It's a hex based civ building Android game. I quit playing last year because all there was to do was reset for bigger numbers. Well there's a tech tree now and you can actually unlock tech to get on new tiles you couldn't before and new buildings etc The cheapest tech is literal days before it unlocks. So I bounce over to the discord and ask about if I'm doing something wrong and I'm not. The mechanic is just based around having been continually resetting for the last year when there was no other content. The discord crew over there doesn't understand that's bad, dumb, and needs rebalanced. Coming in from only haveing 200k prestige points it's going to still be multiple real life days to get the cheapest upgrade. But it's fine. This is a good mechanic and doesn't need rebalanced at all.

pixaal posted:That's how a lot of idle games are, devs with h a vision and a small community with a few gently caress you got mine people being in control. It's fine, you just reset every five minutes until you get to a couple million prestige points and then you start researching new things.

I like the ones that have something to work for and then an end. I've been working on Suicidle but will probably drop it because it feels balanced to take forever/my money

Eldercain posted:Most people are trying to extract dollars out of the genre now instead of developing interesting new ideas. The few that aren't so far fall into the short category, but yeah it's kind of going the way of most mobile game development where hoovering money seems to be on the forefront of every system I don't blame them because it's 2020 and everyone needs a side grift But I miss when things like Mine Defense or Candy Box were still made

Lufia posted:It's just a really slow game. There's a chart to know what factor boost to be at before doing a challenge here. But it still takes ~10 hours to get to the next factor boost. Oh and also the booster upgrade that multiplies Tier 1 and 2 works with unspent boosters, so there's some upgrades you don't need when just trying to reach the next FB. So protip about this game, This chart is absolutely not the one that come up when you google Ordinal Markup and end up on the wiki for it. Apparently because it's 2020 wikis don't get updated anymore and you're expected to go to a discord and check the pins.

Also if you do to the Discord they're pretty unhelpful and actively tell you incorrect information, I've been on a challenge that's "only supposed to take a day" for a week. I stupidly keep resetting whenever someone there goes "oh actually you need to do X before that"

skull mask mcgee posted:I stopped playing once I finished the repair drone(ship?) research because it appeared to get far worse from there in terms of grind. I think that's where I am. In order to go on explorations I need 500k power and I make a little under 600 a second. To increase that I have to funnel power into a research that's 800k total

Lufia posted:Ugh Discord. 30 years of internet and we've looped back to AOL chatrooms. It gets worse because now instead of doing things like writing FAQs or updating wikis people just go "oh there's pins in the discord" because that's findable on search engines. It's dumb as hell.

Samuringa posted:I've been playing around with Ordinal Markup for the last few days but it is a very slow game and also extremely obtuse I was coming in to post about this I think i've hit a standstill and i don't know where to go next. The wiki is worthless because it's 2020 and apparently Discord pins are where the most up to date order for doing challenges are And the discord has a million loving channels and you're supposed to switch channels the second you pass whatever arbitrary point But according to the pins i should be doing challenge 6x3 right now and i can't seem to get my number above 4.814e50. And the discord community answered my question with, no joke, quote:Then 1e100 Which doesn't help in any way.

Slickdrac posted:It eventually boils down to that same routine ultimately, but several of the boss fights along the way are interesting to come up with strategy for. The upgrade that speeds up gameplay really doesn't speed things up enough. I "beat" the mobile version last night and it's still just okay

Anyone else playing Ordinal Markup still? I've hit a point where i don't know what the best way to proceed is and their discord is garbage. I've been following the pinned chart in the channel (because apparently the wiki is out of date?) and it's helpful until you hit trying to do an SM20 run where it stops telling you how to spend factor boosts https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tyMz4CLZNoJB3WMGBITmFlI4NpoPV8U4G6Zvkj5-6D8/edit#gid=0 Anyone know how to get through this thing?

OJ MIST 2 THE DICK posted:for SM20 you really should be reading the collapse channel chat and it has some good guides on how to tackle the sluggish milestones This is one of the things that really irks me about their server. Technically I shouldn't be there anymore because I have darkness unlocked. They've got everything out down into these channels but it's actually meaningless because *gasp* you can do things in different orders!

Vil posted:OM has a lot of potential factors that can gently caress you over. This includes giving advice if someone misremembers how high something should be for it to be good enough. Yeah I'm pretty sure the problem is I'm not at 1e7 on each aleph thing which is what the pinned guide says to be at, but the smug posters in that discord seemed to think I should be significantly farther along than I am. If would be great if you could bulk boost BHO

Man Ordinal Markup locking better distribution rates for cardinals behind SM10 is lovely. I have 1.23e6 and I can either put them into the three different options one at a time or dump the whole bunch into one tier. And that's bad and lame

Vil posted:Agreed, the UI should either allow better in-between amounts for manual distribution or unlock the auto distribution much earlier (around 1e4 cardinals tops). You're a saint. I have been using an auto clicker to smash the Assign 1 button over and over

GrossMurpel posted:Why didn't you click it once and then hold enter? Or just do 3 15 minute collapses where you assign all every time. BECAUSE I WANTED THE NUMBERS TO BE EQUAL and because of that the thought literally didn't cross my mind presumably as a result of me having the Dumb And also I used an autoclicker at any point where clicking was needed. For faster cardinal grinding I found a script that mashes S 7 times and then B and just had that repeat while I was asleep

Basically a TPK prevention measure. Weird, it still does damage to the trolls too So you can slowly murder them and take no damage back

It's a bit expensive but completely worth your while to snatch that up; all the structure costs start from base value in the new settlement and I do mean all of them. Neat, I've got two and a half hours left on that process

Yeah the idle genre has mostly stalled out to just make the biggest IAP laden hell you can. Pincremental is one that came out recently where the dev took existing public use code and slapped predatory IAP on it

Ineptitude posted:Seen several games in this «sub-genre» lately, e.g. Idle Merge, whose entire gameplay consisted of mashing the merge button (or hold down enter), at least for the hour i played it. Not sure why «idle» was in the name. As you smash merge you eventually start getting energy and between that and prestige you can automate merging and upgrade buying
