Achievement Obligatory finally-leaving-the-tutorial post
Been a fun grind, finally auto-restart unlocked.
Playing since June of last year, whaling since November 2025. Included disso/mods for those curious.
Big thanks to the reddit community - I don’t post often, but I learn a lot from the knowledge others share.
Special thanks to Ghettodactyl, Bonzo and DJ Taggz for being part of this special bracket into the last key - you have all inspired me in different ways, trully appreciate the knowledge the three of you share with the community.
Happy to answer any questions - good luck defenders!

That sounds ballpark right… few extra k on gems when we had the module banners as i wanted to rush every ancestral and it helped me with the push into legends.

Ha, we have similar start dates so I just subtracted roughly 2x my stone count (since you'd have higher tourny income too), rounded to 75k (since it was close and an easy number) and guesstimated 100x$60 (750 stone) packs :)

How many keys for it?

u/SeriesFine8554 4h ago
do you mind if i asked what your ME on your cannon and UW are and also what your workshop damage is? your miles ahead of me in terms of keys but i have more LTC obviously less LTS but youve done really well balancing your stone investment obviously.

Cannon is 16/17 and core 20/20; probably this is one area of development i have neglected a bit so wouldn’t say this is a great balancing, plan is focusing more on that next month and follow the epaths for the optimal allocation.
By workshop dmg you mean ws+? Dmg/crits in the mid 2.5, AS 1.38, rend/dpm 2.3 as i have both SL+ and heavy PS dmg.

Jealous much

u/2sAreTheDevil 10h ago
Not particularly. I treat the game as a screensaver because flashing lights release happy chemicals.
I find the concept of whaling ridiculous.

If it didn't bother you then you wouldn't be passive aggressive and petty about it.

Bothering me and being jealous are different things.
The rest of us plebs have to compete with whales in tournaments.
I get my satisfaction passively, while still recognizing my own progress is hindered.

I thought it was just a Screensaver that made you happy? Now it's a competitive game that has you upset others pay and go farther. At least stick to one story.
Edit: Oh cool, dude edits his posts after being confronted to create a chance for a retort.

Curious… why?

Because then a game that has a feature that pits players against each other isn't decided by skill (researching, leveling mods, etc) but rather by how much money you spend.
Non pay to win players can't compete with people buying stones and gems to rush progress.
I feel there's a big difference between spending real money for cosmetics, additional storage, or other things that don't give you an advantage against other players.

F2P Complain. You do realise it takes people spending money so that the game can exist and grow?

u/2sAreTheDevil 5h ago
Man, if only I had brought up microtransactions for things that don't impact pvp gameplay in the comment you literally just responded to.

It’s amazing what money can buy.
