Finally got enough SL powers to start the new levels…my god are they terrible

Finally got enough SL powers to start the new levels…my god are they terrible

LOL, you were warned. (;

Going on day 4 or 5-ish of finally taking KG's advice ... QI

Actually feels pretty good. No more urgency to check my phone if some cooldown has finished or artifact has finished upgrading.

Even uninstalled the Idle app from my phone. I actually feel lighter & more sprightly ... must be the reduced weight of the shackles I was bearing.

Not suggesting anyone else quits, just reporting that I did.

2nd SA finally

Updated

Can someone explain to me the point of this leaderboard? To me, all it says is: "These are the people who started playing almost immediately after Idle started, and have been playing Idle very frequently since then."

The point of this leaderboard is to make me famous. This will be one of the most frequently updated post so this post will always be near the top. And then whenever people look at the leaderboard they will see my name because I was the one who made the leaderboard.

XD thank you. that was the best explanation


anyone else care enough to explain?

A very simple one: Why not?

I think it’s helpful to have a “late-game” thread since some of the discussion in this thread is not broadly applicable.

Xeno’s route on Hex Earth, for example, is contingent on an Insane Alloy Values AND an Insane Army Cache Boost. This is not a useful post for 99% of players but is invaluable to the 1%ers.

@Math
Fyi, I tapped out at around 100 SAsc's.

@3.1415926535
If you've never thought "I wonder how many SAsc's other players have done?" then this thread won't sense to you. But you should be wondering. And this also groups the folks together who are actually doing SAsc's so they can chat strats among each other specific to SAsc'ing.

This is not in fact as you say the list of folks who started Idle right after it started. I'm in that category, but Xeno came about 1 year alter. Parsifal @ 1 was also a fairly early players, as was JK @ 0. ie: Idle start date does not correlate to # of SAsc's

4th super

@krinid I've burned out too. I open my game, look at it, and realize I'll have to sit down for 20 minutes to set up/finish the level and I'm just not motivated to do it.

just super ascended! add me to the leaderboard

Added. Welcome to the super-ascended club Gincompetent!

@Master Jz, I hear ya ... it just becomes a cycle to recue the cycle. Play for another X hours so that you can do it again and make it take 0.95x hours, and repeat. The sad part actually is that it took me this long to quit. There really hasn't been anything new after the first few Ascensions. SAsc's is just a trick to make it appear that there is something new, but there really isn't. I guess the new levels were new but really nothing exciting.

hard to find the long-term motivation, as with almost all Idle type of games.. my reason to super-ascend was to check new levels and reach related achievements to keep my percentage :) ... no plans to SA again...

so while yall rush to finish the levels and SAsc and then lose the motivation to continue, I slowly take my time enjoying my first ascension and by the time I finish, hopefully Fizzer will add something new...

1st Ascension was indeed long . . . after 10th-ish Ascension, clear speed picks up, motivation goes down. The dejavu feelings kick in ... b/c yes you have done this before.

Good that I'm playing it "slow" by not using skip levels and therefore not doing Hex Earth.
