Idle?

[culex69]

Is this game actually idle? It doesn't seem that way from what I have seen.

It's very active by idle game standards.

Some time heavy functions include:
1. Inventory management (you will struggle with this a lot early on and the longer you're inactive, the more hellish it is. If you go over a year without playing, all the loot may even cause you to crash as there is no time limit on offline gains compared to other games and it actually spawns the items at your feet)
2. Skills that drastically boost your progress require you to be active. Examples include Divine Knight's "Orb Of Remembrance" + "Divine Intervention", Seige Breaker's "Pirate Flag" + "Plunder Ye Deceased", Conjuror's "Raise Dead" + "Tenteyecle" + "Cranium Cooking", and Sorcerer's "Dimensional Wormhole"
3. The Journeyman branch requires active play else it will level up at snail pace as most it's exp comes from Crystal mobs
4. The new Death Bringer class requires active play as all it's power comes from bones which you cannot collect from offline gains

With new recent changes, gem farming is also less idle as it's now far less user friendly. I feel sorry for any new players who need to farm gems for those account bonuses.

Yall forget how quests give gems
Earlier upgrades cost less.
Now I get arcade balls from killroy and pray for gems.
Usually make 1k every 2-3 weeks from giants, levelups and killroy.

Yeah that's mostly true, complaining about gems *in general* is laughable, you get a lot. Though it also bears repeating that Lava time and again nerfs ways to earn gems AND ups requirements for stuff while adding things you can't get with regular gems. Newer players are overall less well of and long time players like me are rather lucky...(though it also bears repeating that part of the gem nerfs is the results of axe holes abusing the system and exploits ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ everyone else over in the process, thanks a bunch)

Lava literally doubled event points needed for purchases (making the previous event points carried over a joke), didn't add the golden gift boxes to the shop as he did with equivalents in the past and instead gave extra tries for the prize wheel at gem cost, the wheel spins cost more than extra loot stuff previously in events and the outcome is random...or possibly even "random". I know I got lucky more than once but most of the time I got 1 event point and this is Lava actively feeding on people's lack of impulse control. Not to mention how ever since he keeps adding game upgrades as temporary gem shop purchases rather than adding them as permanent ones, the space is there. Like even the additional strings for the harp were just temporary, or the penguins for the equinox map.

And with this update he didn't add his usual "gift" to the gem shop. For that I don't mind too much but since he has been doing it for a while it's curious to not see it happen now. Yes I know there's this temporary buff to gold arcade balls and sailing artifact chance boosts but that's just not the same as something concrete from the shop. Though it's definitely better than the umptieth premium hat repetition.

it gets more and more active with every upgrade
the new class you are expected to active play for probably at least 1000h hours
maybe you can send the dev your electricity bill or something

Never heard of an “idler” before today…. would that be a game you…. don’t play? I know my nephew watches other people play games all day…. hmm. Silly kids with their haircuts and shirts.

Idle/idler or clicker games are more about managing. Characters, upgrades, strategies, etc, you then basically watch the game do its thing and see the fruits of your managerial labour. Depending on the games there are activities that require a more or less on hands approach. This game is probably more like a hybrid, if you will.

It can be as active or as Idle as you want.
I log in once or twice a day and gg
Even when people mention "Active", active in this game just means leaving the game open on AUTO. The only thing on top of my head that YOU (player) needs to actually play is the tower defense

I'm not knocking anything- I just literally didn't know this type of thing was a genre. My comment about kids and their trendy hats was in jest in case anyone though I was actually sitting on my front porch yelling at the kids to get off my lawn. I did make myself chuckle- so I'm counting it as a win.
