No "Click the Tower" mechanic

[Dacien]

I apologize if this has been brought up, but I did not see any thread titles that matched this issue.

I don't speak for everyone, of course, I only speak for myself. But I am decidedly not a fan of the "Click the Tower" mechanic that we see on the final boss stage, or the yeti stage. I play tower defense games for strategy and tactics, and having to spam my towers with clicks every 30 seconds is wildly distracting and not fun.

Just my 2 cents. Thanks for reading.

I disagree, it's an original and fun feature that
helps increasing the tension of a boss battle and
keeps you focused. But that's just my o so very
humble opinion of course... I've seen a few comments
of people agreeing with you after all

[Goldenrhino]

I mean, it's okay, but I'd like a boss that has other abilities besides being able to kill soldiers instantly and disable towers...

yeah, maybe this feature would not be welcomed by those non-hardcore players, so removing it on easy mode could be an option

Other abilities would be nice, it's true. These are just some boss abilities I've seen in other tower defense games:
-Take no damage for a short time
-Small speed boots(like the rocket riders)

Yea I can see what you mean about bosses having more abilities.. It would be sweet though if some bosses can counter certain tower types that you would be using alot of during the wave phase.. So like maybe a boss will bring out a blizzard to slow tower projectile attack rate or a smoke storm that decreases accuracy of artilleray or a poison that inflicts barracks etc.

I hope we fight a giant scorpion in the next one.. that can be a badass boss.

Troll harder dude.
There's nothing hardcore about it; you just click. Fact is, for me, it's annoying and distracts from the fun.

if you just build 3 towers, then you wont be bothered by the click

idea about the click mechanic:
tap your screen over a ray released by an arcane tower and make a beautiful explosion when releasing finger/mouse button. The longer you press, the bigger the blast and the longer the tower will remain inactive.

edit: hey there might be some arcane mage hero who can control his towers besides releasing mini h-bombs

Do you mean the pactrometer attack? That is to say, damage increases as the attack is charged or held longer. And when it reaches the top, the tower will launch a powerful laser missile causing great AoE dmg if you release your left-mouse button.

[kilele]

yeah your pactrometer attack is interesting too. Is it a sort of kamehameha?
I rather thought of some way to enlarge the ray beam as you store energy holding the left-mouse button;
you would release this energy in the form of a thermobaric plasma explosion over the ground when releasing the mouse causing a variable damage; afterwards the tower would get into cooldown because of exhaustion.

haha, yeah, KA-ME-HA-ME--------HA!!!!! Thats the unique skill belonging to Master Roshi and his apprentices. And the power is proportional to the charging time or the dwelling on the word ME^^.

I cant agree with you more, as it would definitely help balance out the difficulty level setting

There is no way this skill could be introduced in KR, it would be so powerful your screens would explode when used

It would be cool though

Awwwwwww, great pity!

OMG, I didnt expect it would be so mighty and you might want to weaken the spell "Rain of Fire", or else it would strike your office again, lmao

[LichLord]

How dare you compare "Rain of Fire" with the legendary "KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAA!", there's no way its powerful enough for its effects to come out of the game like the great "KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAA!" that could as well burst the whole computer.

[Epicazeroth]

I thought power depended on how long you said the whole thing, and how powerful the user is and wants it to be. Actually, mostly the latter.

Actually the power wont increase infinitely and there must be a cap for it, or it would burst your PC (not just your screen) in reality^^

[kilele]

I already suggested to include some arthritic oldman like Master Roshi. What about Zeus, the terribly fun character from 'clash of the olympians'.
You could mouse click over his head to make him release two kamehamehas emitted by the eyes.
More random ideas about the click mechanic: Zeus can adopt the form of a monster with hundreds of triangle eyes; throw these pointy and ray-emitting eye-boomerangs!!

Oops...I thought u meant the click mechanic in KR. Yeah , ur right. The power of kamehameha differs among it users, and the longer you hold, the more powerful it will be (normally its up to the dwelling on the word "ME").
