The 127 rounds on green hills survival score could be a legit one, I'm working on that level now to see how easy it would be and I'm reaching my 60+ waves now without even blinking so it's not beyond the realms of possibility. Here is the base so far: legit with no glitching obviously but sadly I feel I need to say that because of all the fake stuff out there. The reason that I have a boon for the guns outside of my base and not inside is because I needed space to walk on the roof of the main building in case of a fall from the upper section. Said boon is halfway between the base and the edge of the map so mobs never actually attack it because they can't get much of a chance to shoot by the time they are hammered down. Having all those guns is easy, when you have exhausted all the mineral deposits just build mines inside the base itself. Any way here it is; (by the way feel free to copy the base idea if you want to, but wouldn't recommend it without some heavy upgrading) I can see 100+ waves could be a possibility BUT... I didn't notice him climbing up the charts though so am a bit dubious even if it is technically possible, because the way survival is set up game center would frequently report how far some one has gotten. Unless of course they wernt connected online at the time then yeah sure, it could be... I just wish some one would do something about the 9trillion plus waves. -Self snipped- Any way, going off on a tangent sorry about that... So what do you think of the base lol?
Almost two hours clocked! This is going amazingly well! STUPID. SON OF A GROX HACKER. My hate towards hackers just incrased by +80. Going to try and beat that six hour one though...
Question for everyone. Does this game run in the background? The reason I ask is because if I push the home button, go do something for a minute and come back, the game restarts and goes bak to the title screen. Although there are sometimes I'll leave the game and come back and it's still inside my map and on the pause screen. I was just curious what other people's experiences are to see whether it's my device or the game. BTW, I am playing on a 4S.
It all depends on how many other apps you got running in the background. If you have too many for your devices RAM, your device will find the ones that take up the most RAM and close them.
Ok, to answer my own q, not the most scientific test, but looking at the countdown timer in the game, the heavy plasma gun seems to take 20 seconds to reload regardless of whether you mod it to reduce the rate of fire time. So r.o.f mods are a waster of time with that particular gun, as you can't increase the capacity or lower the reload time. I wonder whether you can arm yourself with two??....
Unfortunately, that's one of the problems with GC in general (vs your own leaderboards and servers), is that no one has the power to individual modify the boards, afaik - or at least I've never seen Apple remove a hacked name before. The only way to "get rid of them" is to start a whole new leaderboard, and then you're just likely to have the same creamcakes come back and ruin those ones too >_< I know it sucks. I happen to care greatly about the competitive aspect of our games, and it really pisses me off to see hackers just pop on there and mess it up.
Yeah it's a buzz kill. The only thing I can say is to keep reporting them and hopefully they'll take notice.
The one I reported several days ago when there was only one or two at most is still there, so it comes to me as no surprise that other people will do it if they know they can get away with it. One of the biggest problems with reporting some one is that when you tap on the link within game center to report them, there is only enough room for so many charachters. Which means that by the time you have completed a report and had to edit it so heavily that you end up with something so incoherent that apple wouldn't take it very seriously at all. It shows they don't care much when you can only get enough space to write a couple of sentences in. In my report I tried to explain the math on why a few of those scores In this game were technically impossible no matter how you look at it but the space was just not large enough to explain. What I ended up with after so much heavy editing was a couple of sentences that didn't even get to explain the basics. The stance apple takes on this sort of thing is really bad though and certainly opens itself up for abuse, it will only be so long before a real hacker and not just some script kiddie or such, uses game center... They thought it wasn't possible on Sony play station but look what happened there with all the stolen credit card info
Almost there... A few more hours... Must try to last... (Some batshit crazy waves throwing themselves at me. ) Now someone kill that hacker.
Very nice going I haven't really tried doing quick play past an hour (yet) myself sticking mostly to survival so hats off if you do manage to get over that 6 hour mark
There is definitely a learning curve, an it is complex, but once you get it down, it's a ton of fun!!
I got some specific questions on crafting and mining when no minerals left, thks guys Crafting: When you add more of the same upgrade to sthg (ie damage mod or range mod that are cumulative) : it takes another spot and doesn't stack up on the same slot as the first one you bought? I find that odd. And if you want to add slots over the initial few ones, it costs alway 12/12/12 minerals? Also is there a limit on slots per weapon/turret? Mining after minerals are exhausted: I'm at lvl 25 on green hills, having mined all the minerals. Now what am I supposed to mine? Rock near the base? Should I use mines or drills? How many? Should I stack the drills? Thks for the answers Pretty amazed by the depth of this game
Comrades, I dedicate this highscore to the TouchArcade community! (And it is still counting and growing!!) Now, kill that hacker. -_-
For those who've modded Howitzers to the max, which mods did you give it? Howitzers start off with 4-5x more DPS than lasers and I don't know what to mod... If you open the mod screen there is also an range of AoE damage upgrade, meaning you can use the Howitzer to inflict AoE damage, but how does that compare to speed/damage upgrades? At most, the AoE can probably go slightly above 5.0 blocks but starts out like lasers; only 1 target. Most people would go for direct damage and RoF but when you consider groups of goblocks travelling it would be wise to damage 5-10 rather than 1. Lasers are single targeted and become outclassed by the likes of heavy plasma, mirv and orbital lasers when targeting groups. In fact, AoE turrets easily rid shadows before they come near your base. Another fact is since lasers have lightning speed targeting it would seem as if they stay on goblocks for a few seconds before an orbital/HP finishes the job (and destroys the terrain).
Here is a good tip for dealing with shadows that was mentioned before. Use lightblocks to DISTRACT shadows so you have time to deal with them. A lightblock with health, health regen mods can be quite beefy.
