Day time speed adjust?

[sparkey66]

Would be a good option to add Day time speed, -25%,-50% Normal +25%,+50% or a full adjustable time slider. Love the game!! but i am not the best at these sort of games and would give us a little more time to prepare for the night time FUN :). The more gameplay options there is the better i think for players(and sales) to set the game how they want to play. Maybe it would be a good idea? Thx

I`m not much of a gamer and imho, setting are key to my gameplay. I don`t watch a lot of videos, none with out CC (closed captions). Many talk too fast and jump around like they are on meth lol

If you are having trouble then consider playing on Easy mode. It is only slightly lower than the old Normal. The current Normal is fine if you are already experienced with the game, and probably good at these types of games, survival, base building, tower defense.

Sad to say, I doubt if slowing time will get a lot of traction. Several have asked a slider to speed time up though. Maybe you can get them to start from -4x instead of 1x.

Also, what is the problem you are having, and how long have you been playing the game?

Some hints, these are free so ignoring them is fine with probably everybody:
Don't overbuild for waves 1-3.
A simple two trap maze with yourself as the bait works pretty well.
Adding a trap between waves is a reasonable plan.
With this current update, getting your skills leveled up to support Electricity is critical. But possible if you survive waves 1 and 2.
You might or might not get electrified traps by wave 2, but you will probably get it started by wave 3.

Then prepare for known upcoming Zombie types, exploding wave 5 so level two foundations and stairs.

Good Luck

Yes played a bit before the update got to level 39 LOL loads of traps, Great Fun! But this seems to be a lot harder and bigger waves, so i don`t get a lot of time to explore just a slider for time would make so much difference to the way some of us like to play. I don`t know how to ask the Dev if this would be possible, do they read these threads do you know?

Yes i think the more settings the better for everyone to set the game as they want to play. :)

You really should check out the "custom" sliders. I fail to see why adjusting the time will allow the devs to make the game THEY want to make*. However, I see your point, I just disagree with it.


* The time pressure is THE game mechanic. Work to get the minimal traps to survive the first waves. In fact playing on Easy you probably don't need traps for the 1st wave, and maybe the 2nd. Anyway the game is straightforward: build traps as necessary, farm, research, build, improve, OMG it's 11pm, repeat until you escape or you give up.

I have been asking since launch for a way to adjust the horde raid settings. I would like to make them come every other night. I like to explore and with the current settings, there isn't enough time.

Just having settings for players so they can set the game as they like to play it The Dev`s can make the game THEY want to make it and people can set the game how they want play it. The more settings the better, if players don`t want to use them they don`t have to. everyone is different. Still love the game, best game for a long while. Thx :)

Sound`s good :)

I think there are threads explaining settings for the new update. I haven`t used them yet but will, if it is harder now, I, will most likely need them. Settings are good. To use or not to use is the question;-) As far as more days between hordes, imho, maybe only as a setting. Every one who owns this game has equal say in their opinions and ideas. period. Devs will never be able to change that in any game hehe. So far this is a great forum on this thread. I gotta have my forums if I`m a gonna play my games ;-)
