TDX's Power Creep Problem...

wait until bro sees medic's kritz ability being used on refractor in nightmare mode

goddamn the quality of this video is insane

the fallout 4 classical radio really do be hitting hard in background

On release everybody was just spamming missile trooper specifically Warheads

Medic on his way to give golden jug 7k dps and uber charge

i honestly liked the era of Lasergunner and juggernaut being the best towers it was the days were the game felt actually balanced

Tdx fans were saying "all you need is accelerator to win" but now you can say the same thing for golden juggernaut💀🙃

Tbh, the biggest disappointment to me is how the Golden towers are unlocked. When John said it was an ohmage to TB, I thought they were gonna do what TB did. Introduce some kind of a pvp or at the very least trophy system with which you can unlock the gold towers (example: 50 Trophies required for golden ranger and 150 for golden juggernaut). That would have been fun actually, as it would break away from the regular grinding and give players a different challenge to unlock them. But no... They're just regular coins to purchase towers (and really expensive at that).

Juggernaut is literally Togeluga from the battle cats, used to be meta and one of the best Ubers, but now he’s been power creeped to death

Power creep has one enemy and that's variety, having options with their pros and cons inspires engagement and player interest, however once Powercreep has "powercrept" variety then there's no coming back, which is the "bad ending" of any game. An example I could recall in my head is Pokra and PVZ 2.

Leave john alone man, he just a faithful td fanboy. But yes i agree i hate lasergunner powercrept sniper and ended getting powercrept again by golden ranger

another problem to this is the placement costs. every single tower that can be used for early defense can be placed on wave 1. this means towers such as sniper, operator and laser gunner fill the same roles as eachother as an early-mid game tower. As you unlock more towers it’s really easy to just ditch the previous tower because you are simply levelling up your early defense slot. this can also apply to shotgunner, as he has been almost completely overshadowed by slammer. in a perfect world, most of the towers should have their own uses, whether it’s niche or one of the main tactics, but because of the way the towers were balanced around their costs it turns into more of a levelling up system rather than unlocking a tower to combat a specific problem.

TDX is basically the earlier version of TDS (roughly around 2020-2021) same UI base, same tower idea's, but a few more "spices" to it.

16:06 whos gonna tell bro enemy defense reduces the damage of all damage types EXCEPT EXPLOSIONS Edit: went in-game with a max lvl rocketeer and a giant boss as a test dummy, it appears defense does affect explosives to the same degree as other damage types (actually affects explosions more since they tend to have higher single hit damage, and due to defense formula being reworked back in the entity update in 2022, it doesn't affect low damage as much as it used to) but the defense doesnt decrease damage by a flat percentage so its not ACTUALLY decreased by 80%

Remember when laser gunner juggernaut and artillery was a trio to solo expert....

This video is extremely well made man… the editing, THE FACT THAT YOU PUT THE SONNG NAMES, and the information, all of that is beautifully made (chef’s kiss). Definitely subscribing ngl.

good video, i'd say cryo is the strongest tower in tds rn, because of the glitch allowing it to do damage on level 0, and the amazing crowd control that also works on bosses

Oh, boy! This seems so little if we compare to that infamous All Star Tower Defense. That game is all about power creep and nothing else.

fun fact: every golden juggernaut user hates eradicator mkl combat

Ik this will sound nerdy but it would take around 60 hours to get all end game towers (G Ranger , G Juggernaut, warship). So in my opinion i think that this towers are more like a rewards for beating the game. (I did not include map bonuses and medals)
