I've always been a tiny bit sad that the Gigantic Flock of Canadian Geese wasn't followed by a Flock of Gigantic Canadian Geese, which, in my heart of hearts, would be followed by a Gigantic Flock of Gigantic Canadian Geese.

For comparison's sake, and I'm not saying this is what NGU needs to do, this is what WAMI does: It saves a value equal to the time you've been offline, up to a cap. That cap is, by default, 12 hours. It can be doubled via an XP item permanently. There are other ways to boost it a bit further as well, I think. Anyway, when you come back online you can "toggle" it to speed up the overall tick rate of WAI's own adventure mode, like everything is sped up quite a bit. This chews through your banked time at the rate the actual tick speed has been boosted to. Right now I chew through my 12 hour bank in what feels like a couple of hours tops.

I tried Wizard and Minion Idle and the ui is really unattractive and there's all these things that look like they should do something when you click them but nothing happens. What gives????

I've unlocked Exile I can beat him on easy, I'm able to idle JRPGland, I've got wishes unlocked and have done a lot of them. My entire first page of Fruit is complete, I've got dual wielding unlocked. But I'm only at "sextillion" Power/Toughness. I need about two more orders of magnitude of adventure stats. What's the next jump I can go for? I might be able to beat godmother on Brutal, but her stuff doesn't seem to give that big a jump compared to JRPGland.

My NGU's are basically maxed (all in the tens of millions of levels) and most of my hacks are in the ~5k levels.
What am I missing?

I've got 1.5 Quintillion EM and around 30Trillion R3.

if you can beat exile on normal you should be able to autokill grandma on brutal, or very close to it.

i'm about where you are, or maybe a week-ish past it. grandma 4 on autokill and the wings maxed, jrpgset maxed, exile 1 on manual idle kill and gear half-maxed.

i don't know what all these illion numbers are though, p/t at 6/3e22 before beastmode, and looks like i didn't spend as much on butt as you did since my ngus are mostly in the e8 but hacks are around 900-1500.

i'm just pumping ngus/hacks/wishes, getting my exile kills in when i'm at my computer, and waiting for the new feature.

shs' new idle is pretty cool and kinda reminds me of Trimps in a way. It's unfortunate then that it's inexplicably super resource intensive (on my end at least) and has this awful lag when trying to do anything. Not like processing lag, but actual delay keeping up with wherever my mouse is and then it takes a little bit to register inputs as well. Since no one else has mentioned this, it might just be me though.

Yeah I feel like it takes forever to register each click

I created an Android beta test version for Return of Hero. I've never used Android's beta stuff before. I think you just click on the link and eventually it'll give you the game. If someone wanted to try it on iOS, I could probably set up a test flight without too much effort, but I'd need your email.

If you played the web version and created a cloud save account, you should be able to move between platforms without issue. If you played the web version and had issues, maybe try the Android version instead, either with a device or an emulator. The engine I use (Unity) is actually designed for mobile games, while the web export is mostly an afterthought. It should perform better. Probably.

I clicked the link and it said app not available

Sigh, i sat on a long 11 day run grinding out the greasy nerd (v2) for his gear. All the time dumping points into advanced training to boost my adventure stats but continually wondering why i wasn't moving up past ITOPOD level 547.

Turns out i didn't realise that i need to let it climb past my previous maximum first and i only just noticed that after i rebirthed to do the no rebirth challenge.

I probably could have breached level 700 with my stats instead of slowly plinking away at upgrading the gear with 1000 boosts like i have been :/

I most recently did this at itopod 1240 and I'll do it again in the future

I've been dumping exp into adventure stats a lot. once you hit EM cap cap is the best way to get gear, and the later gear has lots of wish/hack/r3 on it when exp gain crawls compared to r3 costs. doesn't help that pill is useless either

most of my base stats are bought now

what are the EM caps, and are they applied to the base number or the modified? also don't say it in "quinjillions" or whatever, please tell me the actual numerals

for reference, i'm at 4,560,010,000,000 base and 1,888,473,607,220,080,896 E and slightly less M

yeah this is basically how I feel too, I picked Water thinking it'd be idle but dear god the generator crap sucks and the terrarium is busted good but I can't figure out how to make it work properly (by which I mean, my pearl income is like 1k and my money per click is like 10T and I need the former not the latter to rebirth), but at least I'm invested

edit: turns out I needed a bird upgrade to make birds make pearls and I instantly got into the billions, lmao at me, rebirthed and I'm free

Yeah I did earth by playing a lot of Minesweeper and fire with an auto clicker but water was boring as hell and I quit playing soon after getting the generator thing

so i've only got the last ELO research (the 2e13 cost one) left, i have about 130 rune levels left between prism and thrift, and i'm about e50 away from the last ant autobuyer and i don't feel like i'm anywhere close to doing sad. Am i just doing this wrong? i have 4 talismans including the shop one and they're all purple and maxxed except plastic which is blue. i'm at 1/3/5 on respecs, should i save up and try 1/2/4? last time i tried i only got 20% of the way there, it just feels like i'm doing it wrong

i think you need the first two talismans to be red to finish your first sadistic? and yes you'll need to swap to 124 while you do it.

Eldercain posted:

So I've managed to cap out the 4 talismans I have, I've got autosac running at 15m and things have kind of stalled out. I assume I need to get all these rune level researches and just powerlevel them because the other researches don't look like they're gonna help with pushing challenges very much. Has anyone here managed to snag another talisman? I kind of assume at this point anything you unlock you immediately blast up to red to juice your runes even more but it looks like a long slog since A isn't in yet.

i haven't checked the discord in a week or so but i think common consensus was that the other talismans are impossible to achieve before the next content update

the modes says there's an "ending" but how do you know when you've reached it? I'm at elementary and have all the scalar boson upgrades and only missing 3 of the achievements (134, 136, 137)

I'm doing quick reincarnations now and about to finish the first three rows of research and have all but one of the transcend challenges completed. Is further progression locked behind the Cost++ challenge I haven't been able to do one of yet?

Yes.

If you look at the Achievements tab you can see what achievements unlock new content, the ones in the red squares are important.

In Synergism, how many talisman's are there? I've got 4 but they're spaced apart, two on each side, with obvious room for two more in the middle. However by this point I'm on my second ascension and there doesn't appear to be any more to get.

they comes much later, from getting 25 completions on some of the challenges, you can see which ones on the achievements tab

Well, I learned something new today. Apparently you can be autobanned from a discord server if you keep leaving and rejoining it. I wanted the guides available in the pins for the Synergism channel but I didn't want to clog up my server list, so I kept just getting in, checking a thing, and then leaving the server. Whoops! I miss the days when this info was on a forum, even reddit. Oh well, Synergism is getting kinda boring anyways. I finally made it to the point where I'm doing auto-ascension every 20 secs and I guess I should start touching corruption but it just doesn't feel like the goals are that interesting. I think an Idle game that wants to be long term needs some sort of flavor to it or it just turns into numbers over numbers and feels like nothing. This is probably why NGU is so successful, having a bunch of jokes and art and bosses makes it a lot more engaging to progress. I'm okay with pure numbers for shorter games but something that wants to be long haul like Synergism? Meh.

you can have lots of servers you know

you can even stack the servers together if you really need to save space lmao

gating attempts (not kills) on a boss on a daily timer is such hideous game design. I knew they were trying to emulate an mmo with this but "you hosed up once in a 9 minute fight, try again tomorrow" its not a game I'm interested in playing.

postmodifier posted:

I do agree that there should at least be a way to practice the fight with no loot drops in order to remove some of the anxiety about wasting the keys on your first few attempts or on a new class, there's already a difficulty slider so the groundwork is potentially there

The keys are more about limiting loot than they are about artifically inflating the difficulty though, you get 1 per day per character that reaches the village, and 3 for every dog bone quest, so eventually you hit a point where you're killing it 11 times in a row

Speaking of which, the boss drops that white headband and the rare pants at a much higher rate than the other mobs that drop it (mushrooms, frogs, beans)

Then let people try as many times as they want but cost a key when they actually get loot. Even on WOW they let you bang your face on a boss a million times in a row but only get paid once you successfully kill it, THEN you're on a timer before you can get loot again. Do that, but make the daily "key" unlock receiving loot again.

You're only killing it 11 times in a row if you can kill it every time, or even any time. Yes I'm mostly complaining because I died like 4 times in a row last night and "get good" isn't an option because I gotta wait 24 more hours before I try again. That's just bad design for no reason.
