Yeah I am on the same page as you if they're gonna announce the update, then they gotta do it at that exact moment not say sorry it's delayed like bruh.
I miss it when 6 stars were just added... there was so much hype and minato doing like 16k damage or something was absolutely crazy and he was so good and everyone loved the game.
so factual bruh. I remember the days where we worked towards units like minato and golden frieza and they would just be crazy good for your team. Now the game has just gotten to complete grindfest/repetitive that it's just been lame playing it
nah thats too harsh what happened to ur face now im scared if escanors gonna die or not this is my harsh reality his faced getting crushed or is he gonna die
For me it was grinding for the 7* s units getting them was easy but evolving them drained me having to do the same raid over and over is what killed it for me, even as new units come out ones that I actually want or have been waiting for I just don't have the capacity to grind on it anymore.
nearly impossible to get the exact one you want from the banner and even if you do get it you have to grind for hours, maybe even days if the requirements are stupid enough, when gear 5 inevitably gets added, i'll wanna grind for it but I dont have the time and will instead wanna play other games like that arent just mindlessly doing the same thing over and over again
@@liormoshaev9054atleast thry kinda fixed that with the 30 free stardust and all that but for me it’s the lack of new banners every like 2 weeks for stardust I got everyone from every banner that needs a 7 star at this point
my problem with AsTd is I really dont like farming story mode and I dont like how you currently have to get units. I used to love it when it was pull for a 5 star on banner, feed some other banner units to it, then get a orb to evo it again (like golden monkey). Now it dosent feel rewarding or fun to get units
Was a fun game. Its gotten more and more boring and seeing my videos about astd getting less and less views as I upload really tells me how hard it fell off. What a pain
i joined astd exactly 2 days after it released, i was there since the very beggining, and it's honestly sad seeing the game getting slowly abandoned and the devs just rolling around with the money they made (even tho i think pucci in astd will be fire)
I (technically) joined pretty early, early enough to see they heyday of astd at its peak. I loved the game and I couldn't wait to always come home and hop on to have fun. It was like that for about a year, until the emeralds came into existence (or maybe sooner, idk). I was incredibly unhappy that the game was now laggier, was more grindy, and wasn't very beneficial. It's like that too and nowadays, I rarely hop on every week. I've only gotten on when a good new unit comes out or if I have to grind starpass. It's just boring to me, although I am glad to see the new feature with Hantengu, I think it's incredibly cool, but I haven't been able to use it anywhere.
The 1-3 unit limit is so good cause with anime adventures you can have attack fx perfectly and not lag out even with a bunch of other peoples units down
The units went from being enjoyable to get, to spending weeks getting units who cost 30m to max totally ignoring the fact that they’ll be useless in a few months.
I knew ASTD was doomed when they had an Easter event and took over a year to get most of the units from that event unlocked. They still have a few eggs that aren't opened yet.
Yeah I feel you dayday, I feel like the devs are getting lazier with updates lately more “mini” updates and not like before (old astd) where they would acually put good effort and meet the deadline for updates. Also they shouldn’t just remove world three beacause of princess appala being a meta unit so if they do remove it they would have to make her accessible to world 2.
you don't under stand how much I miss the days of waiting for 5 star mihawk in banner because 300 damage every few seconds was just so op back then, i also miss grinding for 5 star goku to.
I think we should keep world 3. The problem with world 3 is that it was so obviously rushed just for new content, but they havent done anything with it. The other banners are still “coming soon” and theres nothing beneficial to it other than story, which is just the same old story mode with different maps and rewards. All w3 needs is some sort of new mode to give it purpose
The game became so grindy… back then sure astd was grindy for some units but not like todays grindy. Atleast back then even if it was grindy it was still fun. Prime astd was truly the best!
literally, back then you used to have to grind easy levels for good evo units, but now you have to have a full squad and strict meta to beat the level,,, its just so damn time consuming
Great video, as someone whos played this game since release and restarted many times its sad to see the game go downhill and the devs become more lazy. At this point the game can't be revived even if they add a new starpass and, everyone moved to anime adventures.
I agree with the solutions execept for 1. The one that state “lower unit limit ( 1-3 ).” Like I like the idea of it so we can see attack fix but a better way to put it, even though it would probably hard to put on the game, is making it so the first unit you place does the attack fx. Like the only one placement units stay, since you can only place one, but for meta units that you can place 8 of, like eyezen or Tanjiro. Make it to where the first of those untis that you place down do the attack fx. So it’s like you kept attack fx on off but you see one of every unit attack. Makes sense?
One problem I’ve had with the game for a while is new content doesn’t actually force you to come up with new strategies or use units you normally wouldn’t it’s just more hp and restrictions, if you have X unit (almost always the brand new unit) you beat the new content that’s all it is, back in the day snake way had me and the bro’s strategizing like crazy on perfect placements and what waves to place what, there’s also them making you only have a % chance of getting orbs from raids it’s just senseless grind
well technically because back in the day it was new, thats all about it. now they keep the maps, so if an unit got a certain kind of hitbox, it will be placed in a certain place, like the fruit land map for regular infinite, that map is full researched, theres nothing left for us to experiment with on the maps. now if u want to be a strategist in the game, just play higher story modes on extreme, other than that, theres nothing left for the devs to do, the only thing they can add now is new maps, units, events, since its gacha game, and maybe something creative, like the rumbling event was quite fun back then. to sum up, everything got scanned and searched, theres nothing left to experiment with
i think there was some good ideas in the video tbh and with the big update doing they have a good chance but no matter what they still better than anime adventures and we have to give em props for game still up for 2 years 🙏
@@zxalter4800i cant even grind 2 act everyday in aa i fall asleep whenever it just start, ik the effects are good but its too slow and im on the faster side since i hate it when its too slow
Yeah as a contruibuitor i did some icons (the different effects) and the gauntlet ui (that doesnt look like the design i planned for) and that was basicly it. I wish i could give ideas for the devs but they are alot busy with other stuff and ghost me alot, anyway, yeah i think Fruity needs to stop announcing an update that's not even on the beta testing phase...
What's annoyins is that the hype characters in the game usually just end up becoming some random unit you'll only use in infinite mode instead of being used in any other content
Yeah, me and my friends were addicted to ASTD, eventually evolving too much 7 stars while already pulling the unit is hard enough. We were so tired of this to the point where we moved to AA and the 4 of us don’t regret this decision.
They could make so many things like even if they dont have any ideas they have a whole discord server to ask for suggestions AND THERE ARE SUGGESTION CHATS IN DISCORD ANYWAY
Man, I started playing this since it got released, and I haven't played in a while, I think the latest update I was in before I stopped was when the big mom raid got added and even then I already felt how tiring it was to just repeat the same process of grinding story mode for weeks just to get the needed units for the newer ones which will then immediately be overpowered by newer units in the next few updates its pretty sad that the game I once deemed my most favorite and most enjoyable game I played in roblox has still not changed and improved for over a year now
You said many things I've been feeling lately. I love ASTD, but sometimes (almost always) I feel like players are the ones struggling to stay in-game when it should be the opposite. You did a fine job over there. Thanks! I hope fruit and his team check you video and actually do somenthing about astd.
Good video, a lot of us have been saying this on Discord for awhile now. They made sure to get a terrible sponsor event out on time, but the "crazy" update is still nowhere to be seen. All Star Tower Delay drags on.
The main issue with astd is that every single new unit takes literal hours to grind just for it to be replaced by a new meta unit in the next update, all star devs need to work on more ways to keep players hooked, and not bored out of their minds grinding for boros 7 star. (Me.)
Yeah but then they add that sweet sensation of raids that you grind so long you lose your soul and get depression for a unit that you realise next update will be mid
@@eizanmacasaet7610 not really. case: btd6, tds, most other non-anime tower defense games. sure, tower defense games by nature arent beginner friendly but the power creep in astd makes starting over/ starting in general a nightmare.
I quite the game when the 7 star update came out, all of this evolution stuff and the crystals or whatever there called were so confusing. Now the game just looks complicated and is not at all like it once was. I miss old ASTD.
grinding raids and dungoens to evolve units is what made me turn off from the game around the time where 7 stars were added just didnt have that much time to do the same dungoen for a week straight getting a full lobby of people who have meta units
What is ASTD's Golden Days?✨ -When both Casual and Hardcore players enjoyed together. -When you're excitedly waiting for the next banner. (Banners Cycle now god🤦, and also you also NEED TO RAID TO FULLY ENJOY THE NEW UNIT.) -When LB runs have Great Accomplishment. -When you need to used/pick different unit for certain map, that's when you have to be creative on how to finish the map. (just bring Meta Cooler👍) -When Gems still have value. (If you were to ask, 1m Gems💎 or 10k stardust🌟) -When Devs still have enthusiasm, on adding new content that the players need.(...)
fr, i moved on to aa and been having more fun, trading is ez to understand and start, and the events are ok. The only problem is the rates for myth and secret grind.
The game biggest problem is grinding part of it and lack of unique thing. I remember how mihawk was good due to his range and damage. And how people use suzaku when he first came out. The old unit just stay in the inventory as part of the old time and become literally unusable. Jinbei is primary example of unusable unit. They dont think of buffing old unit so the old one can at least be playable. Some might say that it will cause people to stop grinding. Yes it will if everything is just copy and paste. Let say they add interaction or new mechanic and balance it like enemy can be frozen but will take less damage during the freeze. In exchange they become slow after the freeze. And burning cause enemy become faster but increase the damage and effect of other status permanently. Ofc this is just suggstion. But as I said before, they dont do much.
I started playing Anime Adventures more now. It has its own problems but I'm having more fun with it. It's way better optimized than ASTD but sadly no 2x or 3x speed. But like what happened to Madao in ASTD? I also couldn't believe they make play time required for codes now.
You absolutely cooked this video, I agree with everything man. I’ve been playing on and off since release and it’s really tough to see that after my 1 year break I came back and grinded within a week or two and caught up hella fast. That’s great and all but the lack of content and the constant grinding over and over also caught up to me fast… the false promises of updates and other wack stuff the devs have done made me basically quit until the next “”big”” update comes out. But yeah, super happy and proud that you came out with this banger, you REALLY been saying what I and others have been thinking about this game and honestly we all just wanna see it do better.
Same!I still using Levy 6 and snakeman luffy with orbs lol.Anyway im sad to see astd dying.Probably going to have its final breath if they keep doing this.
As a former astd player. I must say this is true updates get boring and sometimes astd staff/devs don’t keep promises sometimes which is annoying now I play anime adventures. Although I haven’t quit astd but might. Who knows astd might have a good comeback and potentially more players then anime adventures.
I stop playing it a long time ago. But then get kicked from the server due to sending meme of rat being cruxified and burn. That after I stop. So what happen?
I think the main thing that made me switch to aa from astd(played the game from its opening) is because when they aren't lazy and make a big update it just feels so rush. Like world 3 for example its been almost a year and we only have water and fire stuff. Another thing is the new units are just all the same(except hantengu) they have high damage and some sort of elemental effect. I would like to go back to the game but if feels so boring and lackluster.
I personally suggest u to do other gameplay too such as awtd or aa bcs u can still gain viewers even tho astd didnt upd. I know its will not be like a same u but atleast u can earn some income. Anyway it just a suggestion. Overall all i love ur gameplay a lot. Thanks to ur video i can grind solo. Lovely
Fax this game has like no content anymore, used to be my fav game ever forever but now there's so many issues. 10/10 video you are my role model dayday_kid 👺
i miss the days when grinding was truly fun you didn't have to spend hours just to get something. 5 stars were meta back then and most of all it was fun aka the mihawk and broly era I swear the game kinda fell off after stardust
You forgot to add the part where they are lazy to make the units from the star pass, because of that "You haven't reached this tier!" bug, like I was a few stardust away from getting a mutli stardust summon, and a unit blocked it because of the bug.
ppl seem to like it, it's not so bad Maybe the grind sucks, but the fact that ppl actually play it and not just for aizen and boros shows that ppl rlly like the mode and tryhard in it, similar to inf
Never been an ASTD player or anything but I do play AA alot.. Sad to see a famous game that so many people called good just fall off and have the devs not care about it anymore
I agree with everything but 2 things they are unit limit 2-3 as attack fx is just gonna entertain us for mostly 3days and then it's gonna be again the same.And removing world3 is not cool as most of the players are relying on world 3 story of exp and I think its just thinking bout what u can live with and not others which I understand but sill u have to think about the players who play in low spec devices.
Remove world 3 Change world 3 to make the units not link to the other world and make that the new main game, the world 1 and 2 could be to make a currency used in w3 Or revanp all the units damage range- the effects do not need to thit the attack effects, and make all units do around 350 damage Now instead of searching for a unit that ranges the whole map and does the most damage you can search for a unit that has decent range bc max range is no longer a requirement Imagine if ppl found out the erwin buff loop back in the day with no buff cap lol
The reason why all star nowadays is too boring because R1: Now, we don't need to use strategy or our brain to do mission. You just need like eyezen, asta, cooler,... then you can solo every map. Now we can try to think a strategy to do extreme raid but it doesn't give us anything. I still remember when challenge 3 was released, I and my brother took a whole day to do it, but is it really fun. Look at our all star now, new raid are just 15 wave(just bring asta and zamatsu it will be the same to other raid), 19 wave (eyezen do all) R2: the enchantment and category aren't diverse like other game (anime adventure,...). Now we just need asta or zamatsu, the enchant will be nothing for us. I remember when enchant was released, in story 22 we need to use uru, in story 23 we need anti hero or levi,... Story 24 need tengen, miwawk, eren,... Let's talk about category, now player only put the unit that has 20% bonus or 15% bonus, they don't care what category that unit buff for the whole team R3: The special banner is so hard to get feature unit. Let me give you an example, when all star update, a lot of people play then they roll for new special banner. If they don't get anything, they quit. Else, most of them will too lazy to far R4: New world(world 3 has nothing), I remember when world 2 was released, a lot of people stay their rest of all star life in their. But world 3 literally has nothing. Solution for R2: I think admin should remove asta and zamatsu skill, the money bonus leader boost. I know it will be harder for player but it is more fun This is just my view about our all star nowadays. If you have other opinion, comment down bellow for me to know. Thank you for reading my comments 👇👇👇 👇👇👇
To be honest, the last good update they really did was the AOT rumbling event. After that literally everything fell off and the events were so dry after that. And for reference that was around a year ago
my least favorite thing about astd ( coming from a player that started update 2~ or around then) is that if you miss a couple updates the entire meta changes, YOU HAVE to grind or else you're left behind, because every update is just a race to add a better tower, this isn't a huge problem for me UNTIL I started on an alt a while back, I had goku and Naruto like usual and then I got yami (4 star) and I went through like 5 worlds with 0 issue
i remember when we want a unti we just go to the bridge and wait for a new banner and do emotes now we have to spend days just to get the unit we desire, it does not even feel rewarding..
I feel like it lost its magic, what was special to it. The game was just soo fun and simple, nowadays its too complex and instead of it feeling fun the gsme now feels tedious and like a chore
True,I was expecting a lot when they said that it's a really huge update like customization of maps and adding new things to it but it turned out be another grind Sorry for grammar
Astd is an old Roblox game, One of the lasts which still up, i think anime adventures eventualy will take astd’s place, but only the time Can say the result
I remember when 5 Star Dio was such a carried unit until years later where 6 Star Dio Overheaven isn’t even close to Guts. Also not helping that there’s too much going on. I might have more complains but i’m dieing as im texting.
Ur right my man working for the stardust for the stardust for featured units and then grinding bout 2 days for the 7 stars version and then the new update comes and same thing same cycle everyday so actually screw this game im quitting
just play anime adventures then its takes around the same to get the unit evos but if they add 2x then it will be way faster it does take longer to get gems though
I left because I couldn't solo the game mode in world 2 and many people don't play with random. I don't really like the new orb system where if you put any orb on a unite it's permanent. I just stopped playing.
astd is literally peaking rn, 31k players at a random time, Do you wanna know why? because when a game release updates frequently it dies but when it update like once a month it does really good, for example blox fruits, they update like once every 3 months and they have like 500k active players, i remember when astd was at its all time low which was when prime whitebeard and roger was in starpass and they had like 9k players, that was the time astd updated like every week, in simpler terms, astd should update like once a month and not every fcking week because games like that die very fast
This is exactly why i stopped gridning this game as hard as i used to, i pulled guts and griffith and can’t even be bothered to play the same dungeon 20+ times anymore, they really need to do something majorly different this next update
Sorry sir,but i disagree with your opinion,at that point yes,power creep is starting to take over the game's content.But its still "balanced" if you compared to the current astd.Its starting to crumble since they add W2.I knew it.knew it.Hope they'll make a huge revamp (including dmg).That'll greatly affect the game!(In a positive way)
The most best update for me is the Ichigo. Like he's the first unit I got and he's op back in the days coz he deal more like 3k dmg and decent range and spa but he does Aoe.
I quit after the creator said that gogeta would return, but instead of that, they went back on the fact that they weren’t going to add trading. Now they have all these exclusive units that if you missed out on, you have to trade for. I am not trying to play a damn market on a tower defense game to get something I actually want. Then I tried the game out again for a bit, yet shortly after they added a battlepass system, which I just can’t be bothered to mess with. I liked astd a lot at first, but the anti-player features just ruined it for me.
I remember when world 2 came out it was hype but no one really cared for world 3 because it doesn’t feel new it just feels like a copy and paste with only decent banner units
ASTD ban me on the discord for making a ticket about a scammer this game sucks I wasted more then $150 dollars on the game and this how they repay me I’ll never play again
i hope with the new reset teaser video fruity announced, they might be going back to the old astd which i hope is what they're doing but who knows they might just add pucci and thats the big update lol
i used to play the game daily now i barely even join to do dailys, i couldn't even be bothered to finish the starpass since i barely get time to play now i thought that why waste my time on a game where to even get 1 lv or get anything i have to spend 1 hour minimum for a level, and let's not talk about farming for units, there's nothing new on the game and it's just run a map, and just do it again for 5 hours or more.... the game just became annoying at some point and kind of a waste of time

One problem I’ve had with the game for a while is new content doesn’t actually force you to come up with new strategies or use units you normally wouldn’t it’s just more hp and restrictions, if you have X unit (almost always the brand new unit) you beat the new content that’s all it is, back in the day snake way had me and the bro’s strategizing like crazy on perfect placements and what waves to place what, there’s also them making you only have a % chance of getting orbs from raids it’s just senseless grind
well technically because back in the day it was new, thats all about it. now they keep the maps, so if an unit got a certain kind of hitbox, it will be placed in a certain place, like the fruit land map for regular infinite, that map is full researched, theres nothing left for us to experiment with on the maps. now if u want to be a strategist in the game, just play higher story modes on extreme, other than that, theres nothing left for the devs to do, the only thing they can add now is new maps, units, events, since its gacha game, and maybe something creative, like the rumbling event was quite fun back then. to sum up, everything got scanned and searched, theres nothing left to experiment with
Been waiting for this video, it didn't disappoint 🔥
Once madao left and fruit took over, I think that's when everything went down.
Ever since fruit took over updates havent been the same
Wait who was the other dude in charge

i think there was some good ideas in the video tbh and with the big update doing they have a good chance but no matter what they still better than anime adventures and we have to give em props for game still up for 2 years 🙏

Yeah as a contruibuitor i did some icons (the different effects) and the gauntlet ui (that doesnt look like the design i planned for) and that was basicly it. I wish i could give ideas for the devs but they are alot busy with other stuff and ghost me alot, anyway, yeah i think Fruity needs to stop announcing an update that's not even on the beta testing phase...
What's annoyins is that the hype characters in the game usually just end up becoming some random unit you'll only use in infinite mode instead of being used in any other content
Yeah, me and my friends were addicted to ASTD, eventually evolving too much 7 stars while already pulling the unit is hard enough. We were so tired of this to the point where we moved to AA and the 4 of us don’t regret this decision.
AA is ok but imo, too p2w, no 2x feature either and if they do it’s prob gonna be robux only :/
@@yes3206honestly astd and aa just suck now. There both too grindy for a single unit and are so repetitive

Tbh the main flaw is laziness for sure the huge update has been delayed for literally almost 2 months
They really need skip button for the raids and the cut scenes not working
Finally someone says it out i was waitng for this vid for too long since w3 released
They could make so many things
like even if they dont have any ideas they have a whole discord server to ask for suggestions
AND THERE ARE SUGGESTION CHATS IN DISCORD ANYWAY
Man, I started playing this since it got released, and I haven't played in a while, I think the latest update I was in before I stopped was when the big mom raid got added and even then I already felt how tiring it was to just repeat the same process of grinding story mode for weeks just to get the needed units for the newer ones which will then immediately be overpowered by newer units in the next few updates
its pretty sad that the game I once deemed my most favorite and most enjoyable game I played in roblox has still not changed and improved for over a year now
You said many things I've been feeling lately. I love ASTD, but sometimes (almost always) I feel like players are the ones struggling to stay in-game when it should be the opposite. You did a fine job over there. Thanks! I hope fruit and his team check you video and actually do somenthing about astd.
Good video, a lot of us have been saying this on Discord for awhile now. They made sure to get a terrible sponsor event out on time, but the "crazy" update is still nowhere to be seen. All Star Tower Delay drags on.
The main issue with astd is that every single new unit takes literal hours to grind just for it to be replaced by a new meta unit in the next update, all star devs need to work on more ways to keep players hooked, and not bored out of their minds grinding for boros 7 star. (Me.)
Thats literally what tower defense games is, u grind for that unit for hours then the next update its gonna be replaced by something stronger
Yeah but then they add that sweet sensation of raids that you grind so long you lose your soul and get depression for a unit that you realise next update will be mid
Gauntlet mode is just terrible in general tbh they never should have added it, aizen and boros should of just been special banner units
Fr i wasted about 20-30 hours farming boros for not use him 1 time because his is mid as hell
@@eizanmacasaet7610 not really. case: btd6, tds, most other non-anime tower defense games. sure, tower defense games by nature arent beginner friendly but the power creep in astd makes starting over/ starting in general a nightmare.
I quite the game when the 7 star update came out, all of this evolution stuff and the crystals or whatever there called were so confusing. Now the game just looks complicated and is not at all like it once was. I miss old ASTD.
Wondering why nobody talks about power creep making it more boring, as your old units you liked get replaced for stronger, newer units
grinding raids and dungoens to evolve units is what made me turn off from the game around the time where 7 stars were added just didnt have that much time to do the same dungoen for a week straight getting a full lobby of people who have meta units
What is ASTD's Golden Days?✨
-When both Casual and Hardcore players enjoyed together.
-When you're excitedly waiting for the next banner.
(Banners Cycle now god🤦, and also you also NEED TO RAID TO FULLY ENJOY THE NEW UNIT.)
-When LB runs have Great Accomplishment.
-When you need to used/pick different unit for certain map, that's when you have to be creative on how to finish the map.
(just bring Meta Cooler👍)
-When Gems still have value.
(If you were to ask, 1m Gems💎 or 10k stardust🌟)
-When Devs still have enthusiasm, on adding new content that the players need.(...)
fr, i moved on to aa and been having more fun, trading is ez to understand and start, and the events are ok. The only problem is the rates for myth and secret grind.
The game biggest problem is grinding part of it and lack of unique thing. I remember how mihawk was good due to his range and damage. And how people use suzaku when he first came out. The old unit just stay in the inventory as part of the old time and become literally unusable. Jinbei is primary example of unusable unit. They dont think of buffing old unit so the old one can at least be playable. Some might say that it will cause people to stop grinding. Yes it will if everything is just copy and paste. Let say they add interaction or new mechanic and balance it like enemy can be frozen but will take less damage during the freeze. In exchange they become slow after the freeze. And burning cause enemy become faster but increase the damage and effect of other status permanently. Ofc this is just suggstion. But as I said before, they dont do much.
tbh i can already smell the devs adding "Ginbei II" to the stardust banner which does the exact same thing as other units
Well they dont buff old units they just make a better version dont get your point
@@MagicIsMagic781 the point is make the old useful and not just replaceable after 1 update.
@@MagicIsMagic781 or they just make them "Tradable" as a way to hide how awful it is and they are lazy to change its stats
Gilgamesh used to be meta for some time cause of his cd it was fun experimenting with different units
I started playing Anime Adventures more now. It has its own problems but I'm having more fun with it. It's way better optimized than ASTD but sadly no 2x or 3x speed. But like what happened to Madao in ASTD? I also couldn't believe they make play time required for codes now.
I miss when 500 damage was op in astd
You absolutely cooked this video, I agree with everything man. I’ve been playing on and off since release and it’s really tough to see that after my 1 year break I came back and grinded within a week or two and caught up hella fast. That’s great and all but the lack of content and the constant grinding over and over also caught up to me fast… the false promises of updates and other wack stuff the devs have done made me basically quit until the next “”big”” update comes out. But yeah, super happy and proud that you came out with this banger, you REALLY been saying what I and others have been thinking about this game and honestly we all just wanna see it do better.
Same!I still using Levy 6 and snakeman luffy with orbs lol.Anyway im sad to see astd dying.Probably going to have its final breath if they keep doing this.
I already gave up on ASTD for a while already now i just play random game till i found a good game that is cool and is painful but fun to gain
Fruit is slowly ruining the game and I hate him for that reason
As a former astd player. I must say this is true updates get boring and sometimes astd staff/devs don’t keep promises sometimes which is annoying now I play anime adventures. Although I haven’t quit astd but might. Who knows astd might have a good comeback and potentially more players then anime adventures.
Ngl we need to kick fruit from owner post and bring madao back to save astd
I stop playing it a long time ago. But then get kicked from the server due to sending meme of rat being cruxified and burn. That after I stop. So what happen?

I think the main thing that made me switch to aa from astd(played the game from its opening) is because when they aren't lazy and make a big update it just feels so rush. Like world 3 for example its been almost a year and we only have water and fire stuff. Another thing is the new units are just all the same(except hantengu) they have high damage and some sort of elemental effect. I would like to go back to the game but if feels so boring and lackluster.
They just need to do something with old units like balance them or something cuz it’s so terrible compare to past then
I stopped playing when they added wait time to use code after the upd has been delayed for days
I personally suggest u to do other gameplay too such as awtd or aa bcs u can still gain viewers even tho astd didnt upd. I know its will not be like a same u but atleast u can earn some income. Anyway it just a suggestion. Overall all i love ur gameplay a lot. Thanks to ur video i can grind solo. Lovely
Fax this game has like no content anymore, used to be my fav game ever forever but now there's so many issues. 10/10 video you are my role model dayday_kid 👺
i miss the days when grinding was truly fun you didn't have to spend hours just to get something. 5 stars were meta back then and most of all it was fun
aka the mihawk and broly era
I swear the game kinda fell off after stardust
Game was very fun before w2 i think
@@eksait8 your kinda right ngl
fax bro like 7 stars kinda ruined the game
w2 is the start fr
fr i remeber being so hyped getting mihawk with 1 10x
You forgot to add the part where they are lazy to make the units from the star pass, because of that "You haven't reached this tier!" bug, like I was a few stardust away from getting a mutli stardust summon, and a unit blocked it because of the bug.
imo they needa add W/L reaction in the discord banner so new players know whats good and whats bad🤷🏾♂️
Same thing is happening with anime adventures. Its gotten to such a point most of their haters consist of the ones that are playing the game.
Gauntlet was a terrible idea for a game mode.Cant change my mind
ppl seem to like it, it's not so bad
Maybe the grind sucks, but the fact that ppl actually play it and not just for aizen and boros shows that ppl rlly like the mode and tryhard in it, similar to inf
@@haydnFB don't compare trashy gauntlet to infinite.
@@haydnFBdude only reason people play gauntlet was because of aizen or boros and the fact that Their is nothing to do in the game

Never been an ASTD player or anything but I do play AA alot..
Sad to see a famous game that so many people called good just fall off and have the devs not care about it anymore
I agree with everything but 2 things they are unit limit 2-3 as attack fx is just gonna entertain us for mostly 3days and then it's gonna be again the same.And removing world3 is not cool as most of the players are relying on world 3 story of exp and I think its just thinking bout what u can live with and not others which I understand but sill u have to think about the players who play in low spec devices.
Its the reality and I hope that day would actually react to this man's comment
this is so factual and wisdom day day kid o m g my absolute fav astd content creation plea throw this vid in navy and fruits face !!!
Remove world 3
Change world 3 to make the units not link to the other world and make that the new main game, the world 1 and 2 could be to make a currency used in w3
Or revanp all the units damage range- the effects do not need to thit the attack effects, and make all units do around 350 damage
Now instead of searching for a unit that ranges the whole map and does the most damage you can search for a unit that has decent range bc max range is no longer a requirement
Imagine if ppl found out the erwin buff loop back in the day with no buff cap lol
The reason why all star nowadays is too boring because
R1: Now, we don't need to use strategy or our brain to do mission. You just need like eyezen, asta, cooler,... then you can solo every map. Now we can try to think a strategy to do extreme raid but it doesn't give us anything. I still remember when challenge 3 was released, I and my brother took a whole day to do it, but is it really fun. Look at our all star now, new raid are just 15 wave(just bring asta and zamatsu it will be the same to other raid), 19 wave (eyezen do all)
R2: the enchantment and category aren't diverse like other game (anime adventure,...). Now we just need asta or zamatsu, the enchant will be nothing for us. I remember when enchant was released, in story 22 we need to use uru, in story 23 we need anti hero or levi,...
Story 24 need tengen, miwawk, eren,...
Let's talk about category, now player only put the unit that has 20% bonus or 15% bonus, they don't care what category that unit buff for the whole team
R3: The special banner is so hard to get feature unit. Let me give you an example, when all star update, a lot of people play then they roll for new special banner. If they don't get anything, they quit. Else, most of them will too lazy to far
R4: New world(world 3 has nothing), I remember when world 2 was released, a lot of people stay their rest of all star life in their. But world 3 literally has nothing.
Solution for R2: I think admin should remove asta and zamatsu skill, the money bonus leader boost. I know it will be harder for player but it is more fun
This is just my view about our all star nowadays. If you have other opinion, comment down bellow for me to know. Thank you for reading my comments
👇👇👇 👇👇👇
To be honest, the last good update they really did was the AOT rumbling event. After that literally everything fell off and the events were so dry after that. And for reference that was around a year ago
my least favorite thing about astd ( coming from a player that started update 2~ or around then) is that if you miss a couple updates the entire meta changes, YOU HAVE to grind or else you're left behind, because every update is just a race to add a better tower, this isn't a huge problem for me UNTIL I started on an alt a while back, I had goku and Naruto like usual and then I got yami (4 star) and I went through like 5 worlds with 0 issue
i remember when we want a unti we just go to the bridge and wait for a new banner and do emotes now we have to spend days just to get the unit we desire, it does not even feel rewarding..
I feel like it lost its magic, what was special to it. The game was just soo fun and simple, nowadays its too complex and instead of it feeling fun the gsme now feels tedious and like a chore
Atleast we might be able to relive the peak soon with the Pucci and jolyne reset event
What does it do
It was the 7 star and stardust update that killed me bro. To stay in meta you have to sacrifice your life
True,I was expecting a lot when they said that it's a really huge update like customization of maps and adding new things to it but it turned out be another grind
Sorry for grammar
Astd is an old Roblox game, One of the lasts which still up, i think anime adventures eventualy will take astd’s place, but only the time Can say the result
I remember when 5 Star Dio was such a carried unit until years later where 6 Star Dio Overheaven isn’t even close to Guts. Also not helping that there’s too much going on. I might have more complains but i’m dieing as im texting.
Ur right my man working for the stardust for the stardust for featured units and then grinding bout 2 days for the 7 stars version and then the new update comes and same thing same cycle everyday so actually screw this game im quitting
just play anime adventures then its takes around the same to get the unit evos but if they add 2x then it will be way faster it does take longer to get gems though
I left because I couldn't solo the game mode in world 2 and many people don't play with random. I don't really like the new orb system where if you put any orb on a unite it's permanent. I just stopped playing.
I miss the old community competition events, fe the rumbling and the summer fest events
astd is literally peaking rn, 31k players at a random time, Do you wanna know why? because when a game release updates frequently it dies but when it update like once a month it does really good, for example blox fruits, they update like once every 3 months and they have like 500k active players, i remember when astd was at its all time low which was when prime whitebeard and roger was in starpass and they had like 9k players, that was the time astd updated like every week,
in simpler terms, astd should update like once a month and not every fcking week because games like that die very fast
This is exactly why i stopped gridning this game as hard as i used to, i pulled guts and griffith and can’t even be bothered to play the same dungeon 20+ times anymore, they really need to do something majorly different this next update
They should finally add saitama I've been waiting for 1.5 years and if i add it need to 10m placement
Let’s be true to ourselves.. the game started going downhill as soon as we got goku 6* (150k dmg)
Sorry sir,but i disagree with your opinion,at that point yes,power creep is starting to take over the game's content.But its still "balanced" if you compared to the current astd.Its starting to crumble since they add W2.I knew it.knew it.Hope they'll make a huge revamp (including dmg).That'll greatly affect the game!(In a positive way)
I miss when I finally got a good 6 star and leveled it up for it to be obsoleted the NEXT WEEK. The grind was almost for nothing in that game
Updates taking forever is annoying
Grinding for units is also a pain too
The most best update for me is the Ichigo. Like he's the first unit I got and he's op back in the days coz he deal more like 3k dmg and decent range and spa but he does Aoe.
I quit after the creator said that gogeta would return, but instead of that, they went back on the fact that they weren’t going to add trading. Now they have all these exclusive units that if you missed out on, you have to trade for. I am not trying to play a damn market on a tower defense game to get something I actually want. Then I tried the game out again for a bit, yet shortly after they added a battlepass system, which I just can’t be bothered to mess with. I liked astd a lot at first, but the anti-player features just ruined it for me.
i can never forgive fruit for not giving out the 500 star dust code
For real
astd is definitely one of those games where you have alot of fun in the start but when u rack up the meta its just unenjoyable
I remember when world 2 came out it was hype but no one really cared for world 3 because it doesn’t feel new it just feels like a copy and paste with only decent banner units
ASTD ban me on the discord for making a ticket about a scammer this game sucks I wasted more then $150 dollars on the game and this how they repay me I’ll never play again
its so true my main issue is how the balancing fell off
i hope with the new reset teaser video fruity announced, they might be going back to the old astd which i hope is what they're doing but who knows they might just add pucci and thats the big update lol
😮maybe this is the reason why the crazy update is called reset?
i used to play the game daily now i barely even join to do dailys, i couldn't even be bothered to finish the starpass since i barely get time to play now i thought that why waste my time on a game where to even get 1 lv or get anything i have to spend 1 hour minimum for a level, and let's not talk about farming for units, there's nothing new on the game and it's just run a map, and just do it again for 5 hours or more.... the game just became annoying at some point and kind of a waste of time
I'm honestly around just waiting for them to release my goats in game plus snow vids and yours
I mean the other things I said it's igth I just don't agree with the attack fx like do you want them to remove them
