Made 30,000,000 Mana in about 3 hours last night. Got lucky on Spooktacular drops and sold them.

PC.

I’m working on my Apprentice and I’m doing nothing but leveling tower stats. I just capped my tower attack damage last night (+70…honestly I was hoping it would’ve gone on forever) and I’m not sure if I should work on tower attack speed or splash radius yet. Does the splash radius affect anything but the fireball tower?

And when am I supposed to be able to afford a pet? I have like 50k mana and all of the pets in my store are way above that.

http://steamcommunity.com/id/hawksrk Here’s my steam profile if anybody wants to add me. I’m level 22-23 right now.

71

Tower Attack Speed is probably the most important stat for a Tower Apprentice. So, go for that next. Splash radius is not affected by any stat. It is a set amount. The Tower Area of Effect stat increases the attacking range of the Towers.

The quality of the items in your Tavern are based on the last mission/difficulty that you completed. In order to get more affordable pets, you should complete the levels at lower difficulties (the earlier the mission, the weaker and more affordable the pet).

72

I need this same info but for a Aura monk. I now fully understand how Strength Drain aura is possibly the most awesomest aura ever.

In fact, is there somewhere there’s stat importance for characters whether they’re dps/tower/trap/aura? :3

This patch is supposed to be released later tonight, but the Mod Tools and Capture the Flag will not be released until Thursday or Friday.

7.08

  • Added all modding tools, Editor, source code, and art assets as optional DLC. This can be used to make Mods (new maps, content for the base game, compatible with base game in Open mode + automatically downloaded to new users), AND Total Conversions (complete reworking of the game that changes or rewrites core functionality as you see fit, requires direct installation of Total Conversion files). Want to add something to DunDef? Submit your changes / additions to us for inclusion into the Official game! Want to make your own game with the Dungeon Defenders code and content, package it up and distribute it for your benefit? Go ahead and design it as you see fit!

  • Added 16-player PvP CTF Pre-Alpha Season Pass “Frostdale Village” DLC support ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature…&v=PrqkhO2S3s8 ). Oh what fun!!

  • Fixed return-to-tavern crash / map-transition crash

  • Fixed glitch where you could get “Unlocked New Mission / Costume” messages on every startup unless you did a local save

  • Kobolds should no longer ever phase through blockades

  • Raised cap on Monk weapon Ranged Damage stat per upgrade to 85

  • Added Insta-Invest button to immediately dump in as much Mana as you can for the next Upgrade level

  • Fixed bug where User Interface debug info could appear on-screen by pressing some obscure key combination

  • Chain Lightning Tower now immediately retargets to new enemies after killing an enemy. Also its Attack Duration Ramp has been increased by 40%, now you get much longer-hitting lighting towers, and Lightning Tower AOE including max number of chains increased by 10%, and its Max Chain Length increased by 33%

  • Uber-Chicken Pet’s Damage now scales with Hero Damage and has a reasonable impact AoE, making it a fantastic boast-worthy reward for any Legendary Defender

  • Fixed issue where Costumes would sometimes not be unlocked when completing Halloween Spooktacular!

  • Fixed issue where DarkBot and Spanky pets weren’t counting towards the “Gotta Catch Em All!” Achievement. If you already have those Pets, with this update you will simply need to drop those Pets from your Item Box or Hero, and pick them up or store them again, in order to have them count towards the Achievement.

  • Fixed Ogres occasionally getting stuck in creep rooms on Glitterhelm

  • Chicken Pet can no longer have poor number of upgrade levels

  • Added simplified Monk Auras for low-quality graphics modes

  • Enabled Guardians to boost ***multiple ***nearby Defenses! This is a new, upgradeable stat on all Guardians (only upgrades once every 10 levels so you need to be packing a high-level Guardian to get the most out of it). Increased Guardian boost-amount exponents by 100% so their Boost-stat value will have more of an effect as well. Enjoy it, it makes Guardians an incredibly powerful buff especially when used in team groupings!

  • Enabled VAC (Valve Anti Cheat tech) in online game sessions. Will not only trigger a TNet ban, but also a Steam online session perma-ban for DunDef.

  • Auto-lock items picked up from tavern floors

  • Reduced enemy ramp by over 60% for Survival Enemies (so a much quicker affair now), but now the Survival/Pure-Strat difficulty ramp vastly increased once you get past Wave 10. Moved Giraffe Pet earning to Wave 25 survival.

  • Reduced Van Wolf Damage by 40% more, and Sic damage by 30%, was too OP for what it took to earn them.

Nice.

  • Chain Lightning Tower now immediately retargets to new enemies after killing an enemy. Also its Attack Duration Ramp has been increased by 40%, now you get much longer-hitting lighting towers, and Lightning Tower AOE including max number of chains increased by 10%, and its Max Chain Length increased by 33%

Love it. This is neccesary…lightning tower sucks right now.

^_-;

77

Android Version. Fucking sucks.

“* All: Grenade Launcher Range now limited in Assault / PvP”

Maaaan - I JUST grinded a decent launcher for Assault. I guess I’ll have to go through it the real way? :T At least the launcher won’t go to waste, I’ve got a brother I’ll offload it too. 2500 + 11000 pierce is still a decent weapon.

79

Anyone want to do insane summit? 70 Huntress with blasticus.

80

Figured I’d give survival on Ramparts a try on easy, just to see if I could solo it, friend hops on around wave 21 (lucky bastard) overall it took 6 and a half hours and he got the MUCH better Giraffe… sigh…

7.10 just broke all my gear…

^_-;

83

You had all elemental weapons?

84

On a serious note, if I get this is the PC version the one to grab?

85

Yes.

86

Yep, also had mostly 20 upgrade gear, now I’m finding gear with 30+ upgrades… I went from being close to top-tier geared on 5 different characters to mid tier overnight.

^_-;

87

Yeah the awesome Random drops are called “Super Loot” apparently. Though in 7.10 they had the RNG set-up incorrectly, and WAY too much Super Loot was dropping. With the current 7.10b, Super Loot is supposed to be more rare, so I hope you farmed it last night.

They are to set-up the new difficulty, Nightmare.

EDIT: TrendyNET is re-buffing the drop-rate of Super Loot in 7.10c. Everyone was complaining that it wasn’t fair that other people got Super Loot easy, while they would have to farm for it. Wow, bunch of whiners.

88

Well, they did need to re-patch the loot in 7.10b, they set the loot threshold far too low by accident. People were finding garbage gear on the final wave of insane spook. You had to get to wave 19+ on insane survival to get any decent gear.

I do like that the giraffe buff is retroactive, although the giraffe I have is still meh at best.
