/igg/ - Idle Games General

>>127567570
shameless self bump

After testing, I'm pretty sure dwarf/fairy is the way to go.
Dwarf angel offers nice spell bonuses, but dwarf fairy seems to synergize better, extra multiplier reduction, inns boosting production even more, etc

>>127575260
also the fairy max mana upgrade helps with spellcasting

>>127575260
Angels are good with autoclick and efficient casting but once you go idle your production tanks. Fairies also just need fairly irregular casting of Fairy Chanting instead of constant attention.

So any bets on when the live version is actually updated?

>>127588725
Any day now.

>>127588725
SOON™

Titans aren't even necessary at all until maybe later merc builds and R0. Druids are much more consistent when you're doing pre-dwarf gem rush.

If you have a good strike in your forecast then go ahead but it takes a lot longer.

So what idle games other than cookie clicker have you all been playing?

>>127595012
When does the forecast reset?

>>127597078
I don't remember actually, I think it might be on reincarnation? I heard you can try opening multiple tabs and doing a few things to see if it changes.

>>127596671
Realm Grinder has really solid mechanics.

>>127597078
Your LS order changes every abdication.

>>127595012
>later merc builds
LS becomes necessary at around R5, since that's around when the non-LS short term builds start slowing down.
You're not going to make it to R16 without Lightning Forge.

>>127596671
realms and wall destroyer

>>127595012
got a link to the forecast?

>>127597818
So far I've only used a serious LS setup to get me to a good gem amount so I could get some things done in R7.

Also apparently there's descent builds that are comparable to serious LS usage, just without all the rng shit. Plus according to some late-game people it's even better than LS.

>>127602047
I'm at R20.
LF is the only build you should use to carry you from R4 at least, to R14.
There's a few decent builds for short term, but none of them compare to the raw power that is Lightning Forge.
That is, until R13-14, because around there is when the returns from LF start dropping off.
That's when you switch off to IGOT.
When you reach R15, if you don't do IGOT, which is a long term, mana engine, slow build, you're going to take for-fucking-ever to reach R16.

>>127602738
I did 5 and 6 in a single day easily and I haven't used LS because I think waiting for whatever 1/11 chance you have of making progress is more effort than just doing some jank thing with hellfire blast or pickaxe.

For the past day or so I've just been using mana-narama to get the autocasting upgrades. I was trying to use IGOT A Need but that would have taken ages to get to 300 m/s and was primarily for spells cast and assistants.

These threads are obviously dying again. Would anyone here want to make an /igg/ on cripplechan? I'd prefer these still still hang around but we just don't have the posting power for /vg/.

It feels so good when you get enough mana to start barely comboing spells for massive production ramping

Can you still normal autocast when you get priority autocasting?

Oh sweet Jesus I figured out how to squeeze Tax Collection into it.

>>127602047
thanks

>>127604426
embrace your inner orzhov

I love how wall destroyer has about 20 apocalypses going on simultaneously

>>127604263
pretty much

>>127612232
How? I think I can only do priority.

>>127603481
i'd honestly like to have one up and running on double chan, but considering we can barely get 5 people in this thread, how many do you think will migrate?

Okay, just unlocked Mercenaries. What's the best combo to start off with?

>>127612416
Well we had a "decent enough for a board" amount of people for a little while after CC updates.

Maybe once it goes into live, assuming that doesn't take another year, we could do it then.

>>127612547
Do all the ones that unlock trophies (Harlequin, Lucifer, etc.)

>>127612612
Shitniggers, now I have to get Faceless. Stupid faction.

>>127612995
What, I can buy their upgrades anyway? Fuck them in that case.

>>127613142
Good luck not getting their bloodline!

Or does doing 12 merc runs count anyway?

Regardless you'll want to get it eventually, better bite the bullet sooner rather than later.

>>127613365
Merc upgrade purchases and Heritage purchases count towards bloodline.

>>127613574
But he doesn't have the heritage.

Plus he's not going to get bloodstream, not to mention that a lot of late-game builds require you to have the Faceless buff of having playtime as Faceless.

Why don't more people post here? It's frustrating to have these threads die so fast. We should advertise somewhere.

Man I've been clicking this damn treasure chest for the last 3 hours i don't have time to post!

Post a picture of yourself with your favorite chest!!!

>>127612547
Oh fuck, I'm retarded. I didn't realize that every faction gets THREE upgrades per tier, I bought the first tier and wondered if that was that.

>>127615753
You get 4 upgrade per tier, of which you can choose any of the upgrades from the factions (that you can use)

>>127612547
>>127615753
Are you the same person? because that's fucking hilarious if so

>>127617464
I might be.

>>127617516
Wait so you never got T2/3 upgrades for other factions? Is that what you're saying?

>>127617560
I just didn't realize that the first set of purchases didn't cover all of the upgrades.

>>127617648
Oh, for mercs.

I was gonna say how the fuck did you get to mercs if you never got to t2/3 upgrades

>>127617648
and here I was laughing my ass off, imagining some moron getting to R3 without buying any faction upgrades after the first 3

>>127618034
Would that even be possible? The scaling upgrade to unlock Mercenaries would be hard as balls.

I've had a mana-narama build up for like a bit over a day now.

I'm at 30M mana in an hour, should I just keep it up for 50M? Or should I do IGOT A Need For Trophies later.

this thread shall live on

I've just started ascending in Cookie Clicker. Why can't I select Octillion Fingers as a permanent upgrade? It doesn't appear in the list, which only goes as high as Septillion Fingers. I've definitely unlocked it already in more than one session.

>>127626917
It's probably a bug

>>127626917
Do you already have it selected?

>>127627076
>>127627142
All better now, I reset everything twice and it came up along with a few other missing ones.

Oh fuck me, I should've done the Demon T1 challenge earlier. Now that dorf and drow coins are permanently unlocked it'll take 33% more coins to get there...

>>127628269
Don't bother. The reward only applies when you're sided with demons.

Wait until you get bloodlines and then choose Faceless (or Elves if you for some reason don't want to unlock them at all), you'll have it in like a minute or two.

Well that makes everything mmuch faster.

>>127628673
what

>>127629058
As in I don't have to spend god knows how long doing absolutely nothing of value.

>>127629128
Oh you were responding to me.

Yea I thought about doing an "overnight" demon challenge but it seemed dreadfully slow and it wouldn't even happen overnight.

It's only useful to unlock challenge 2

>>127629128
where do you think we are?

29.9 M

Fucking Undead.

I was probably goin to say something like it's a lot less people because of no updates.

Yeah, sucks though.
Mb if something hot and new comes out we can revive but looks like there's not enough interest atm.
