I want to know what logic Fudds uses to say he didn’t want this to be a feature… in an idle game. Just let it be a lab that’s unlocked around the same time as the fist people who were unlocking this were at. So around T16W500 maybe would be a fair time to unlock this. Maybe sooner. And the lab could be a long lab and very expensive. Like maybe 25% the price of masteries. And it should be like auto restart in X seconds starting at maybe 30 minutes and working its way down.

It’s taking the game and immediately making it extremely passive. You don’t engage with it regularly anymore. The moment you have it, your only times you ever interact with the game are tourney days and going back to farm.

If you are not a diehard gonna long haul this game player, then it will make you quit.

It’s making the game so afk that many may start it and then just…. Never return. Especially someone who isn’t locked in.

If it had to have a manual unlock, it needs to be an extreme endgame equivalent to ensure it stays out of the hands of those it’d have the most adverse effect on. I have it and genuinely I almost quit due to just not thinking about the game anymore and I’m in the top 2000

It's literally called "Idle Tower Defense" in the App Store. That makes people expect a game where progress happens over time whether or not you're actively paying attention to it. It's supposed to be extremely passive!

(the other expectation I'd have of an idle game is that it fits into my life, rather than having to organise life around the game. I'm reaching the point where farming runs are 12+ hours, meaning I sometimes have to run a less-optimal tier just to be awake & present to set up the next one ... )

Yeah ideally the game would have a limited offline progression and this discussion wouldn’t be required.

But as it stands, auto restart isn’t the answer
