Thank you for this year! Did you enjoy 2023? Our Gaming Discord! discord.gg/5EkngjmVvv All the clips I used for this video: ruclips.net/p/PL-4WnEXr7ff8k3duKRa0U-FOoU5BLwXPm
also, the developers really did make the winter event in 2 weeks (this is what i’ve heard from one of the devs). They started working on it a couple days after below had announced that the winter event was coming one of the main reasons they could make it so fast was because they reused a lot of enemy models, saving them time. still very impressive tho and one of my favorite events
I heard someone say that after I released the vid, it is honestly mind blowing, they should reuse enemies in the future so they can focus on bigger and better updates, more towers, quality of life improvements. This update alone they had a skin crate, tower, gifts, quests, it shows how much time is really taken up by an enemy that is just melted by accel 😂
Tdx said it themselves that the Christina’s update wasn’t fully made because the game came out literally a month before it and had three updates prior this on top of the fact that tdx has a much smaller player base led it to being less popular. Also, they have announced a harder version coming out soon that will be more finished
The First Tdx Event was much easier compared to TDS's, but that's cause it just came out and not many people had good towers, so john wanted it to be easy for newer players, as the game has been out only for around 2 months.
@@FajnyToscik Something like pizza party works really good. You can achieve hard mode by using Scout, Shotgunner, Minigunner and commander. It'll make it much harder but reward you with a skin. meanwhile Other beginners can just enjoy it as normal.
Tbh i hope both games rival each other for the top spot for years to come each pushing each to get better content more optimizations and overall more fun for the community
4:56 well, this is one theory, after raz retired, below has promoted many small developers into lead developers, the lunar overture event was a letdown because raz cant do everything while the smaller devs do less than him, and if my math is correct, many lead devs cam do more than one lead dev, shrimple as that
To be honest i dont know why people compare tdx as tds . Its been almost 5 year tds exist while its only 2 month tds released and that’s already crazy that a 2month old game (still it been 2year they have been workin on it) can challenge tds but i think we just need to appreciate both game and not be mean to the dev that are working hard
tdx will probably not have a good time when a lot of people get their hands on end game towers. eventually, just like tds, the majority of players will be high level ones.
@@pylotheric9777 not really, I am still enjoying the gameplay. My friend has tried both and prefers tdx because it's "quicker to pick up and the towers feel better to use"
it was actually made in 2 weeks- even below confirmed it. all the work was on LO (lunar overture) and they only managed to completely finish act 1, act 2 was in progress and act 3 barely was even started by the time it was supposed to release
@@bluenightrblxsome obscure discord message. The developers occasionally say stuff in the server. There's already a list of updates for 2024 that below has said
and i feel like the tds devs were also working hard on the late November 2.0 update they teased and that also could've interfered with production of the lunar overture event
lunar overture wasn't bad event, act 3 was disapointing and thats it the reason why krampus's revenge event is so good is simple: they re-used enemeis from violent night event and remade some frost invasion enemies and puted krampus from xmas 2019 event on top of that, that made them able to focus on other new stuff, like skins, santa quests, the new tower, freezer, frost blaster and slegder reworks, improvments, console support bla bla basically what re-using stuff gives you
Honestly yea Lunar Overture was just overhyped. The devs got too ambitious and they wanted to top the solar eclipse. The krampus revenge was simple and just good.
Lunar overture as a whole was a bad event. acts 1 and 2 were too easy and weren't anything special. And act 3 sucked. The ugc system was stupid. Lunar overture was not worth the 8 month wait. Below also called it the biggest event.
1 act 2 was a challange, you probaly didn't even played this event 2 after act 3 got nerfed it becam enjoyable 3 ok then how can you make it better? rng or you are sleeping when act is realesed and you have no chance of getting it 4 remind you that we still had updates in-beetween lunar overtorture and violent night @@laisksjjsjs566
TDS needed a rival, their competition for the same genre and basically playerbase will promot innovation and will do their best to one-up each other, leading to us, the players, to benefit.
I joined easter 2020 and honestly if you were a early 2023 TDS fan it was terrible with the lack of content and updates i really thought they were gonna end the year with a couple skin crates good thing they got their priorities straight.
5:20 Besides the models of the freezer rework as well as the phantom skins all being done, everything was done in those 2 weeks as far as i am aware (some devs didnt even know about the winter event until below tweeted about it at the start of december)
I also wanna say that the rest of the engineers/devs have done an amazing job at stepping up when it came to this event leading to the best development cycle I've seen for an update
Honestly, the TDX Christmas event flopped regardless of the TDS event. On the one hand, The event itself isn't that bad but isn't that great either, there is also barely anything to grind for and most players already got everything from the event in the first hours, and not to say; the event is INCREDIBLY easy. On the other hand, TDX is a new game, making the event too hard could result in even bigger blacklash from the community as most players don't have all towers unlocked yet. I feel like TDX will eventually take over TDS unless they will start pumping updates faster. Overall, competition would be great for the game[s].
Krampus Revenge theory: I suspect that the reason they were able to push out so much content in a few weeks was because of raz's resignation/fire whatever + After raz left, a single event has not been delayed, and TDS has become much better since then. Why? My theory is that Raz pushed the employees and intentionally delayed the events so that they were "better". This resulted in delayed updates and morale amongst the dev team decreasing. That also may be why raz was banned.
As a tds somewhat veteran, I took a break from tds and missed out on 90% of the year for tds only really playing again to get cryomancer... so I had no idea about any of this until a couple of months ago very surprising that the doom of tds could've happened while i was away.
yeah I’m also a veteran, I’ve been playing since Area 51, I take long breaks throughout the years but come back for event and other grinding sessions, but I didn’t play overture event, I only tried act 1 and gave up, I’m very mad at myself for doing that
The only problem i had with tds this year is that its extremely laggy to the point that i had to use the rejoin system so that i could get into a game because it only showed me a black screen
Yeah the Christmas event for TDS is great is challenging and the event tower is pretty cool but i personally think that the cryomancer need he's ice to freeze faster since he doesn't do alot of DMG.
Yet you can still get stuff for free, and the dev team isnt only in it for money as you can tell they really do care for the quality of their game as some devs interact with community on streams, and the event we got just now is of very high quality, which shows that maybe all that money went to good use.
John did not have a big crew if he did tds would have for sure been murdered😢 but the lucky thing is that tdx has just came out also the tdx event is kinda easy but tds still has a chance of death tdx is releasing a hard mode for their Christmas event
Honestly, got a bit worse, but remains better than TDX placement style, changed from blue boxes to white circles, means u cant shove random turrets or whatever in crazy tight spaces. New UI s make it feel like a free ugc game a bit or smth. lunar overture is self explanatory, hands down. too ambitious from devs, more gamepasses, so devs can get new avatars 💀 unchallenging in general, krampus is easier than nuclear, pizza, badlands, even though its an event.
having an event that's easier than polluted, party and badlands is honestly good and to be honest, the tower was NOT good however, i understand the thrill of difficulty but we gotta account for the people that have lives and dont spend all day playing hardcore lol
2024 has being insane and such a good comeback compared to the mess what happened in 2023. From 3 new towers 2 being event only to what 6 so far and so many reworks. They are making such a good comeback im happy. Not to mention all of the game mode reworks. A new game mode and we still havnt seen the Christmas event yet. It shows they are really trying now
I was in this game when gladiator first appeared. I liked it so much. Time passed and game became greedier and greedier with each year. I just didn't have the time to grind all these skins. I didn't even the accelerator.
idk why... but i am going to type my whole tds story. from level 0 to 120 So it started off in Christmas 2022 a little before the event. Then my friend and my other friend that was his twin brother told me about Tds then we grinded and grinded on my account i got up to level 25. Then the Xmas Event came out. By the way, my account was only a couple weeks old. Then the event came around and my friends won it but I tried and tried but did not win... but after the event I kept grinding for warden but never got it because I never got robux :( . But then i got grounded and my mum logged me out of my account and it was game over for me... 6 months later i came back and i was better than ever i got to get warden and i did not get it last time then i got the level 50 ,super fast then i meet people to help me grind hard core and for the first time i got it and this time robux helped me get it on the way i bought cowboy but i got super happy :) Then For a long time I played lost souls but I finally won after I had to get the skin and positive stuff was happening. Then bad stuff started to happen. My friend quit the game that told me about it and his twin brother also quit and i was all alone with my friends that i don't even know. But that didn't stop me. I kept on my grind and then I got my new golden tower golden cowboy. I was very happy. It took me weeks but still I got it. Then I got grounded again and I thought I was done but my mom did not delete my account. So I came back a couple weeks later. But the Halloween event already started and I was sad because I missed some of it but tdx started and my friends were playing. I tried it and I hated it and my friends were saying the game was dead. I did not care and I had fun. I struggled in act 1 and beat act 2 and 3 easily. A streamer helped me beat act 3 . But the Christmas event came out and I beat it on the first try and it was super easy. So this is my story on my Tds groth. THANK YOu
Now the TDX Christmas Event Nightmare Mode is out, I feel like this is way too hard. It reminds me of TDS Act 3 and Violent Night in terms of difficulty and the fact that it features a multiplier that can clone Exo Santa is something something more worse in gameplay. TDX itself also intends to keep the event as permanent gamemode even after the Christmas event ends. Like how TBZ kept the Cold Construct ingame permanently so that everyone can get surveyor At least someday, I will definitely beat this!
Personally I don’t think that’s the main reason at all when I played tds in my main and secondary account the thing that bugs me the most is how when you get ranger and turret the game felt like a full stop I mean be honest how many games did you have to grind until getting mini,it’s not too much but after lvl50 the next goal costs either 500,000 coins or 2,500 gems which for gold crate you either choose molten and get 500 max or fallen and fail so you’re always grinding and grinding and it’s no less for hardcore how many people who are trying to get accel actually survived the stupid boss on wave 25 so the only thing that isn’t grindy are events which might get delayed by a month
Tbh the scene in the Halloween event is wacky The first time i see Umbra i knew it was motion tracking animation And everyone just looks like they are either running out of breathe or having a stroke
one of the issue for both TDS and TDX is the community, even TDS community itself fighting each other between gatekeeper who want some respect from the dev and the newbie who wanna own OG stuff to flex
Yeah people just seem more toxic than ever, I didn’t mean to make the vid seem like there was a fight, it’s just whatever game does better, Roblox recommends more. The communities should chill, both games are good, that’s all.
i didnt get jester even with G soldier cause i keep loosing to a random enemy that materialized out of thin air, also another thing i want to add, the april fools event for TDX was fire
Old video but I will say something. TDS gotta add water towers with how much water some maps have. Something like a patrol boat or a submarine would work just fine!
Amazing storytelling, visual effects, jokes that made me chuckle, and overall editing as well as showing the eventful year it has been for TDS. like and sub given, well deserved might I add.
even tho act 3 was just a flop, lunar overture is third best event in game, it had one of the best lobbies cutscene system or smth some story(even tho it wasnt finished) skins were the best bp skins they ever made but still cant beat winter 2023 and solar eclipse
to anyone saying tdx is dying it is very new and needs a lot of work and time because unlike tb or tds it doesnt have memorable past yet, but it is heading for a very good future and yes it is very anit player but it aiming for a more challenging approach but it was a bit overshot and needs a bit of work before it could be bearable by newer players and the grind wont be as harsh. but both are good games you should play
Was raz holding them back or something? As soon as he left they began making: good events, reworks, new towers, they are adding back pvp, good skins, it’s crazy
9 months later Jesus christ this game makes me mad now I first started playing back in 2021 during the Frost Spirit event. I had a lot of fun, got GMini, and then completely abandoned the game for a whole year Fast forward to 2023/early 2024, picked the game up again, got all the Golden Skins, got Brawler, Accel, Engi and Necro Fast forward to actual 2024, jesus christ the game feels a little soulless. Weekly updates suck a lot, they barely have any content, we havent gotten a new skin/code in forever, the game feels pointless once you have everything, and the devs prefers reworking towers pretty much no one uses/has instead of adding new maps, skins etc. TDS nowadays just pisses me off Edit: The new Halloween Event sucks so much. The battle pass is actual garbage, not just because of the implementation of a paid battle pass, but because you need 27 THOUSAND candy corns to finish it, which is WAY too high of a number. Since candy corn doesn't drop in Molten Mode, it's very hard and tedious to grind. THe Nights are fine, but everything else is terrible.
Yea I also have basically everything but maybe try doing the mission quests for the skins since I personally had fun doing some of them and it made me enjoy the game again for a while
sooo... you prefer new skins and maps than reworked towers??? thats dumb lol also the point is to rework towers no one uses to make them useful dude also the weekly updates qre just in preparation for the halloween event be a little patient and grateful for once tds players cant decide if they want events skins or permanent gamemodes
I can tell 2024 will be an amazing year for tds. They have lots of cool stuff planned for us like tower pets, commando rework, 2.0.0 update (very big update) and other things i dont know about.
i hadn’t played in a while. when i joined a few months ago after a long time. I WAS SO LAGGY, CRASHED AND SO MUCH BIG BUTTONS IN MY FACE! i preferred the buttons before
Tdx has said that it will be an nightmare difficulty and an easy for their christmas event so they will add an nightmare dificulty to the event so the christmas event isn't even finished yet for tdx (but I think I am still gonna prefer the tds event even afther the nightmare difficulty for the tdx event is released).
Well the Lunar Overture event…act 1 was like 10/10…then came act 2 which wasnt possible in squads and you had to do it Solo. And then act 3…many people stopped playing bcs it was un-balanced, but I stopped playing TDS bcs the act 3 was locked for me (yes I finished the act 2). So i stopped playing TDS, and started playing new TDX. I think TDX is NOW better because updates are there more often and they are balanced. Plus when I start TDS the game…is extremly laggy, and it crashes a lot. So I play rather TDX even tho I would like to play TDS winter event but I cant because TDS just crashes my PC. This is only my opinion. Play any game you want.
another theory: raz got fired because he made the lunar overtune event like that and thats why the chrirtmas event was so good but that's just a theory a game theory
I mean, if it's still standing, it's doing fine. However, TDS still has MANY PROBLEMS. 1. Some towers are too OP. Accelerator straight-up makes it almost impossible for any other tower to be used for late game. 2. Many towers suck. You can literally go to the towers section of the TDS wiki, and list ~10 towers that need buffs. 3. Normal Mode is too hard. A bad beginning to a game can make new players leave the game forever. 4. Hardcore Mode needs a rework. It deserves the matchmaking system so finding teammates takes WAY less time, early game needs to be easier, late game needs to be harder, and the whole game mode shouldn't require a literal strat for most players. 5. There isn't much to do past level 75. Let's say that once you get to level 50, you didn't procrastinate and got both hardcore towers. You're now level 75. What do you do? You could beat the special game modes, but that won't take much time. Overall, there's nothing to do.
6. Molten and Fallen mode are so fucking boring and dull that once you grasp the flow and way-to-go with these modes, you don't even need to think. Molten and Fallen mode both need to be reworked.
Honestly i dont think i'll ever play TDS again my main account got hacked and i had gladiator sledger accelerator i was level 126 and i had golden mini and now its gone so i dont think i'll play again
I'm going to be honest, I don't think this is the downfall of TDS, I feel like 2023 was a preparation for 2024, and future years to come, with all the balance changes made to the game, it seems like there's going to be a big difficulty curve, especially because of this "New Gamemode"
In my opinion I like TDX more than TDS but TDS absolutely killed it for the winter and Halloween event. TDXs winter event was too easy and too hard. TDSs is a mix and it is actually replayable unlike TDXs event which is either you do normal Xmas and win easily or do Xmas nightmare and get destroyed at wave 5.
no one is talking on how they cooked up the event so quickly i mean you can make maps easily and they already had assets of the enemies some are revamped, some are the same (like violent night) and you can clearly see they rushed on cryo because they ripped off her bio from pyro and secondly its kinda buggy and also kinda op sooo thats my theory how they cooked up this event (ik no one is reading this)
nah. wasnt too horrible. I mean, think of the 2021 content draught. Yes we got frost invasion and solar eclipse, but that was literally it. 2023 wasnt THAT bad, especially compared to 2021 and I think 2024 will be a crazy year for the game
Summary: yes, yes it was the act 3 was just rushed, and didnt go with the lore just saying from the tds hc player 5ouls, if you didn’t see his comment about it
Nah the Christmas event 2022 with the same layout as duck hunt wasn’t the problem for me at least it was the bosses and bad match making that stoped me form getting elf camp
Thank you for this year! Did you enjoy 2023?

W channel, I just came back to TDS, I haven’t played since late 2022, but I hope this game won’t die.
Same, i think, as long as the game is getting updates then the game will keep growing.
I hope it does. Its a copy of Towerbattles And it didnt even give the game credit

Tdx is still in beta and they're adding more modes and towers soon but everything was rushed they will polish in this year
so 20 devs is a small team for a roblox game???
2021 and 2020 tds was in its peak. Best events were made in these years.
Honestly, got a bit worse, but remains better than TDX
placement style, changed from blue boxes to white circles, means u cant shove random turrets or whatever in crazy tight spaces.
New UI s make it feel like a free ugc game a bit or smth.
lunar overture is self explanatory, hands down.
too ambitious from devs, more gamepasses, so devs can get new avatars 💀
unchallenging in general, krampus is easier than nuclear, pizza, badlands, even though its an event.
There is not alot of events that is harder than hardcore
having an event that's easier than polluted, party and badlands is honestly good
and to be honest, the tower was NOT good
however, i understand the thrill of difficulty but we gotta account for the people that have lives and dont spend all day playing hardcore lol
so underrated, felt like 1 min but it was 8 mins
you earned a new sub :D
Thx bro!
no it's 6 mins, he made the outro like 2 mins long so it can be 8 mins
1:31 em actually all of the skins were re-used, they came from the season of love (aka valentines 2022) so they aren't new
Oh, got my fact wrong 🤯😭
oh wait, commander and engineer skins were new @@endportex
2024 has being insane and such a good comeback compared to the mess what happened in 2023. From 3 new towers 2 being event only to what 6 so far and so many reworks. They are making such a good comeback im happy. Not to mention all of the game mode reworks. A new game mode and we still havnt seen the Christmas event yet. It shows they are really trying now
I was in this game when gladiator first appeared. I liked it so much. Time passed and game became greedier and greedier with each year. I just didn't have the time to grind all these skins. I didn't even the accelerator.
idk why... but i am going to type my whole tds story. from level 0 to 120 So it started off in Christmas 2022 a little before the event. Then my friend and my other friend that was his twin brother told me about Tds then we grinded and grinded on my account i got up to level 25. Then the Xmas Event came out. By the way, my account was only a couple weeks old. Then the event came around and my friends won it but I tried and tried but did not win... but after the event I kept grinding for warden but never got it because I never got robux :( . But then i got grounded and my mum logged me out of my account and it was game over for me... 6 months later i came back and i was better than ever i got to get warden and i did not get it last time then i got the level 50 ,super fast then i meet people to help me grind hard core and for the first time i got it and this time robux helped me get it on the way i bought cowboy but i got super happy :) Then For a long time I played lost souls but I finally won after I had to get the skin and positive stuff was happening. Then bad stuff started to happen. My friend quit the game that told me about it and his twin brother also quit and i was all alone with my friends that i don't even know. But that didn't stop me. I kept on my grind and then I got my new golden tower golden cowboy. I was very happy. It took me weeks but still I got it. Then I got grounded again and I thought I was done but my mom did not delete my account. So I came back a couple weeks later. But the Halloween event already started and I was sad because I missed some of it but tdx started and my friends were playing. I tried it and I hated it and my friends were saying the game was dead. I did not care and I had fun. I struggled in act 1 and beat act 2 and 3 easily. A streamer helped me beat act 3 . But the Christmas event came out and I beat it on the first try and it was super easy. So this is my story on my Tds groth. THANK YOu
That needs to be a video
@@StoatStone Maybe some day
This gonna be a interesting rivalry
The real downfall of tds is the 20 diff lobby and Ui changes that they did over the years
WHY IS THE OUTROW SO DAM LONG?
Now the TDX Christmas Event Nightmare Mode is out, I feel like this is way too hard. It reminds me of TDS Act 3 and Violent Night in terms of difficulty and the fact that it features a multiplier that can clone Exo Santa is something something more worse in gameplay. TDX itself also intends to keep the event as permanent gamemode even after the Christmas event ends. Like how TBZ kept the Cold Construct ingame permanently so that everyone can get surveyor
At least someday, I will definitely beat this!
Well, I think it was intended for really endgame players
Personally I don’t think that’s the main reason at all when I played tds in my main and secondary account the thing that bugs me the most is how when you get ranger and turret the game felt like a full stop I mean be honest how many games did you have to grind until getting mini,it’s not too much but after lvl50 the next goal costs either 500,000 coins or 2,500 gems which for gold crate you either choose molten and get 500 max or fallen and fail so you’re always grinding and grinding and it’s no less for hardcore how many people who are trying to get accel actually survived the stupid boss on wave 25 so the only thing that isn’t grindy are events which might get delayed by a month
I feel like tds is just pray that you have a guy with accelerator on an event
Man at the end the old tds music strikes as hard as a surprise test at school that u did not study for
Tbh the scene in the Halloween event is wacky
The first time i see Umbra i knew it was motion tracking animation
And everyone just looks like they are either running out of breathe or having a stroke
You just got new subscriber this video is truly amazing
Thank you so much!
tds and tdx are just gonna keep competing for top dog and i can only see the quality and expectations going up from here
That's the good part of competition
@@endportexThe devs from both game didn't want to have a fight but the community is, the problem only in the community for some reason
@@Tart-gamertrue bro many kids arguing about tdx and tds
one of the issue for both TDS and TDX is the community, even TDS community itself fighting each other between gatekeeper who want some respect from the dev and the newbie who wanna own OG stuff to flex
Yeah people just seem more toxic than ever, I didn’t mean to make the vid seem like there was a fight, it’s just whatever game does better, Roblox recommends more. The communities should chill, both games are good, that’s all.
i didnt get jester even with G soldier cause i keep loosing to a random enemy that materialized out of thin air, also another thing i want to add, the april fools event for TDX was fire
Old video but I will say something. TDS gotta add water towers with how much water some maps have. Something like a patrol boat or a submarine would work just fine!
Amazing storytelling, visual effects, jokes that made me chuckle, and overall editing as well as showing the eventful year it has been for TDS. like and sub given, well deserved might I add.
Thank you!
even tho act 3 was just a flop, lunar overture is third best event in game, it had one of the best lobbies cutscene system or smth some story(even tho it wasnt finished) skins were the best bp skins they ever made but still cant beat winter 2023 and solar eclipse
I feel like there definitely gonna continue the solar eclipse lore
@@bankeanchan6609 i hope so
Maybe they should consider redoing the lore they just did
im commenting 9 months later but now tdx isint a threat at all to tds
funny how tdx made a small christmas event which is their first one and its still more fun and the song was fire
Fun is your opinion tbh it was eh for me
@@aguzt1n456 what even is that
As a person who got the umbra plushie I can confirm it was absolute hell 💀
I got it too lmao (skin kinda fire tho)
to anyone saying tdx is dying it is very new and needs a lot of work and time because unlike tb or tds it doesnt have memorable past yet, but it is heading for a very good future and yes it is very anit player but it aiming for a more challenging approach but it was a bit overshot and needs a bit of work before it could be bearable by newer players and the grind wont be as harsh. but both are good games you should play
For a new game TDX is doing amazing, I can’t wait for future updates because they are just going to get better and better.
Was raz holding them back or something? As soon as he left they began making: good events, reworks, new towers, they are adding back pvp, good skins, it’s crazy
Idk, I think these updates were already prepared when he left, we will see by the end of the year
@@endportex true, It could also have to do with the release of TDX, while not as big in players as TDS, it’s still a competitor
Underrated youtuber
9 months later
Jesus christ this game makes me mad now
I first started playing back in 2021 during the Frost Spirit event. I had a lot of fun, got GMini, and then completely abandoned the game for a whole year
Fast forward to 2023/early 2024, picked the game up again, got all the Golden Skins, got Brawler, Accel, Engi and Necro
Fast forward to actual 2024, jesus christ the game feels a little soulless. Weekly updates suck a lot, they barely have any content, we havent gotten a new skin/code in forever, the game feels pointless once you have everything, and the devs prefers reworking towers pretty much no one uses/has instead of adding new maps, skins etc.
TDS nowadays just pisses me off
Edit: The new Halloween Event sucks so much. The battle pass is actual garbage, not just because of the implementation of a paid battle pass, but because you need 27 THOUSAND candy corns to finish it, which is WAY too high of a number. Since candy corn doesn't drop in Molten Mode, it's very hard and tedious to grind. THe Nights are fine, but everything else is terrible.
Yea I also have basically everything but maybe try doing the mission quests for the skins since I personally had fun doing some of them and it made me enjoy the game again for a while
sooo... you prefer new skins and maps than reworked towers??? thats dumb lol also the point is to rework towers no one uses to make them useful dude
also the weekly updates qre just in preparation for the halloween event be a little patient and grateful for once tds players cant decide if they want events skins or permanent gamemodes
Sooo anyway the playercount was at 70k like 2 days ago at one point so im pretty sure there is new content coming out!
Another whiny baby of a TDS player, ain't that surprising?
You didnt finish the sentence lemme finish it for you.
A GAMEEEEEEE THEORYYYYYYYYY
I mainly think tds is getting a lot more players is because now it’s compatible with Xbox and PlayStation!
That could be part of the reason, I think the event as well is a big part at this time.
bro aint even answer the question "was 2023 really the downfall of tds?"
I can tell 2024 will be an amazing year for tds. They have lots of cool stuff planned for us like tower pets, commando rework, 2.0.0 update (very big update) and other things i dont know about.
That’s just what they told us, I’m ready
i hadn’t played in a while. when i joined a few months ago after a long time. I WAS SO LAGGY, CRASHED AND SO MUCH BIG BUTTONS IN MY FACE! i preferred the buttons before
3:55 razuatiz banned tds starts to cook? (On god the with raz leaving why did tds randomly start cooking afterwards)
probably because raz was delaying the damn updates and below is likely still ambitious while getting money off tds tbh
Happy new year endportex!
Happy new year to you too!
Nice pacing and editing !! Keep it up :)
Thx! I will.
the fall off NEEDS to be studied
What fall off? It is the second most active tower defense game on Roblox
yea some games have there downfalls then they manage to either get back up and have there best year or just overall ruin there game permanently
Tdx has said that it will be an nightmare difficulty and an easy for their christmas event so they will add an nightmare dificulty to the event so the christmas event isn't even finished yet for tdx (but I think I am still gonna prefer the tds event even afther the nightmare difficulty for the tdx event is released).
The fact that you Said that TDX is TDS first competition really hurts as a Tower battles player
Well the Lunar Overture event…act 1 was like 10/10…then came act 2 which wasnt possible in squads and you had to do it Solo. And then act 3…many people stopped playing bcs it was un-balanced, but I stopped playing TDS bcs the act 3 was locked for me (yes I finished the act 2). So i stopped playing TDS, and started playing new TDX. I think TDX is NOW better because updates are there more often and they are balanced. Plus when I start TDS the game…is extremly laggy, and it crashes a lot. So I play rather TDX even tho I would like to play TDS winter event but I cant because TDS just crashes my PC.
This is only my opinion. Play any game you want.
another theory: raz got fired because he made the lunar overtune event like that and thats why the chrirtmas event was so good but that's just a theory a game theory
i hope your channel grows to the max this year end portex!
Thank you! I will keep dropping content for you to make it happen!
I mean, if it's still standing, it's doing fine. However, TDS still has MANY PROBLEMS.
1. Some towers are too OP. Accelerator straight-up makes it almost impossible for any other tower to be used for late game.
2. Many towers suck. You can literally go to the towers section of the TDS wiki, and list ~10 towers that need buffs.
3. Normal Mode is too hard. A bad beginning to a game can make new players leave the game forever.
4. Hardcore Mode needs a rework. It deserves the matchmaking system so finding teammates takes WAY less time, early game needs to be easier, late game needs to be harder, and the whole game mode shouldn't require a literal strat for most players.
5. There isn't much to do past level 75. Let's say that once you get to level 50, you didn't procrastinate and got both hardcore towers. You're now level 75. What do you do? You could beat the special game modes, but that won't take much time. Overall, there's nothing to do.
6. Molten and Fallen mode are so fucking boring and dull that once you grasp the flow and way-to-go with these modes, you don't even need to think. Molten and Fallen mode both need to be reworked.
Honestly i dont think i'll ever play TDS again my main account got hacked and i had gladiator sledger accelerator i was level 126 and i had golden mini and now its gone so i dont think i'll play again
this video aged like milk
If they have 2 similar event maps they better make a seige path[like the ones In duck hunt]
I'm going to be honest, I don't think this is the downfall of TDS, I feel like 2023 was a preparation for 2024, and future years to come, with all the balance changes made to the game, it seems like there's going to be a big difficulty curve, especially because of this "New Gamemode"
Yeah I think 2024 is about to be a crazy year
@@endportex mhm
In my opinion I like TDX more than TDS but TDS absolutely killed it for the winter and Halloween event. TDXs winter event was too easy and too hard. TDSs is a mix and it is actually replayable unlike TDXs event which is either you do normal Xmas and win easily or do Xmas nightmare and get destroyed at wave 5.
idk if TDX can really be considered a new rival given how its still in beta but as of this comment they range around equal amount of players
no one is talking on how they cooked up the event so quickly i mean you can make maps easily and they already had assets of the enemies some are revamped, some are the same (like violent night) and you can clearly see they rushed on cryo because they ripped off her bio from pyro and secondly its kinda buggy and also kinda op sooo thats my theory how they cooked up this event (ik no one is reading this)
Still very impressive
nah. wasnt too horrible. I mean, think of the 2021 content draught. Yes we got frost invasion and solar eclipse, but that was literally it. 2023 wasnt THAT bad, especially compared to 2021 and I think 2024 will be a crazy year for the game
Yes, 2023 was not too bad, but there were some rough spots. Guess that’s bound to happen.
Not to mention the TDS community in 2021 was worse...
2020 TDS 💀
@@Qoshensksdwlwl 2020 was good for tds, idk what u mean
Yeah we dont count toilet tower defense as a tower defense
Fr
Naaaa when act 3 first released I had every tower and I could not beat it
and then spring autumn and summer 2024 can around and they release banger updates every week
Summary: yes, yes it was the act 3 was just rushed, and didnt go with the lore just saying from the tds hc player 5ouls, if you didn’t see his comment about it
Nah the Christmas event 2022 with the same layout as duck hunt wasn’t the problem for me at least it was the bosses and bad match making that stoped me form getting elf camp
Honestly only reason I know this game exists is because I searched up Accelerator but I saw this game’s Accelerator
😂
I think people should play TDS more because below hasn't delayed a single thing this month so it means the devs won't delay upcoming events or updates
Well that’s not 100% true, it is more likely they will not delay upcoming updates.
well yeah they might delay some updates but i kinda think that it could be only some updates@@endportex
Yes, only the big ones
I kinda liked 2023 it was mainly only good in October and December I liked the Christmas event the most but in my opinion the ducky hunt was the best
4:43 hey I wonder who that guy is
Tds between post-frost invasion and krampus revenge was easily the worst era of tds, after that, it is really fun
great video i have bean looking for this song for a long time can you give me the name thx!
Which one? There is a few 😅
nvm i found it@@endportex
I’m assuming they are gonna focus on the 2.0 update a legendary soon to be update
Toilet tower defence is the main enemy of them both. That game for no reason has more player than them combined
