That applies only to regular threads. News threads such as updates or staff guides are okay.

great guide @Cheez i love tower defence and you just made my games much easier to play with all this "knowledge" which is better then money

 

[DrHam]

staff guides

But not normal guides...

 

[betty's oldies]

But not normal guides...

Sadly, yep. The staff guides are great but normal guides go into more depth (specifics such as strats). I wish the really good normal guides got stickied.

Tower Defence is a fast-paced tower defence game in Minecraft, similar to Bloons Tower Defence. ​

How To Play​

​

• You will be matched up against another team, each team having 6 players. Your goal is to prevent your own castle from falling while trying to breach the other team's castle. Each castle starts at a health of 1000.​
• Beside each castle are two powerful towers called the Castle Guards, these towers are similar to the turret tower in which they shoot arrows very fast. Castle Guards are disabled upon reaching Armageddon mode.​
• Armageddon activates when the match goes on for a long time, upon activation, Castle Guards are disabled and each teams Castle removes 3/4 of it's health. Along with these downsides, occasional meteors come down from the sky blowing up man-made towers and deeming them non usable. Besides all that madness, a Wither boss comes for each castle, kill it before it gets to your castle!​
• Teams are responsible for creating the mob waves. The mob summoner menu allows you to launch mobs. You will get zombies by default, other mobs must be unlocked by earning experience.​
• Experience is earned by sending waves of mobs, each mob is worth a different amount of XP. XP is earned upon the mobs death.​
• The menu allows shift-left-clicking to buy the maximum amount of mobs (12) of a kind and shift-right-clicking will remove all mobs of the selected kind.​
• On either side of the mob pathway is the tower placement area. Right-click on this area to pull up the Tower Menu. Here, you will be able to pick and place your towers. To upgrade your towers, simply right-click a tower with your sword, and click on the anvil. Each tower goes up to 4 tiers. More towers can be bought in our shop.​
• In the Castle Bazaar, you are able to upgrade Goldmines, upgrade swords, purchase bows and potions.​

Cave Spider is a good starting mob for farming XP
Coordinate with your team when launching an attack, makes all the difference
When on offense use lots of potions during your large waves
15 seconds between each wave.

The timer is the XP bar if you hover over the Troop summoner.

Thanks you for the guide, I don't play a lot of tower defence, but this is helpfull for new users and for some persons like me.

 

[YaDasLenny]

What I use for XP farming are Zombie Pigman.

Do not necro-post (post in a thread that has been inactive more than 15 days). Thanks :)

 

[Seishan]

how do i vote to kick someone?

Use /kick (player's name)

Also for farming I now use slimes due to their new upgrades. :cool:

 

[Deleted member 352903]

/votekick command doesnt exist

 

[Seishan]

/votekick command doesnt exist

I used this yesterday, you use the /kick first
then others can use /votekick you cannot vote for your own.

 

[Kaltsifer]

how to achieve the achievement of a "charity worker"?

 

[Stablish]

/votekick command doesnt exist

They should add /votekick because I really hate random placers.
I mean with that, /votekick command is necessary in this game.

 

[Injunction]

They shouldn’t add /votekick as it would be used to kick players for no reason


Also I think this thread should probably be locked

It is extremely unhelpful if half of the information is no longer accurate being the game’s changed it completely with no way of playing the old version

That's your opinion -\_o-o_/-

 

[Injunction]

That's your opinion -\_o-o_/-

It is not my opinion
Certain parts are yes such as me saying it is unhelpful
That is an opinion
But the post’s intended message as a whole isn’t opinionated

It isn’t just my opinion that these aren’t the only towers you don’t have to pay points to be able to use
Nor is it an opinion that these tier rankings and statistics are inaccurate as teirs work much differently now to how they used to. Now they branch off into multiple abilities

It is also not my opinion that these are no longer individual mobs

Magma Slime

Coin Cost - 1500

Coin Cost - 35
XP Income - 15

On top of that it is factually correct to say that this guide doesn’t mention anything about the new gamemodes, new income options, or the new Armageddon mode bosses


I am not faulting anyone for this but it is severely outdated

Spoiler: Separate Tangent

Also can we just stop this “that’s your opinion :shrug:” nonsense
In about 99% of cases they never stated their opinion was a fact
and it is basically becoming a way To disregard someone’s argument instead of just disproving it or making a counter-argument
I am nothing saying everyone who says this is using it to do just that but it feels like a few people are
It also doesn’t add anything to the conversation by just stating that they have an opinion
