You need multiple copies of the game. You cannot run multiple characters from the same account.

update: Windows decided to update itself so I didn't see how far that one would go. On a new map I had a good kill box where all the obelisks got free xp and I also got better luck with the universities (+60%) and got back to level 95. Left it running overnight and it's at level 137 and showing no signs of slowing down. It does appear that shredders have almost certainly infinite damage :)

latest: died on level 145, wasn't watching so not sure what did me in. when I looked at level 137 there were individual cubes that seemed to get lucky and made it farther than halfway through the kill box. I had 250k of unspent gold so maybe next time I'll check every hour or so and spend the gold down...

got to round 204 over 3 days, rounds started to take well over 30 minutes to complete and the game was making my computer chug. Still unclear to me if shredders can outscale the monster upgrades and I suppose I'll never know.

Interesting. Thanks for commenting! Yeah endless is a little rough to play with university RNG and lag latter on. Appreciate your commitment xD. I have a ~130 round video using monuments for single target and vamp lair for AOE but I think obelisks are the better choice. Currently traveling so can't really edit videos very effectively. But will try and get video out in mid/late April once I'm back. Curious how the 204 run went? Very impressive. Yeah the lag is a real issue. Also not 100% sure but I believe low FPS actually nerfs your damage because the code for the towers shooting is frame rate dependent whereas the code for the enemies moving is in a FixedUpdate that does not depend on FPS.

​@@ACRPlaysGames One thing to note is that I used the mod that delays the first split to get these good runs. So I cheated the RNG with that. The run where I reached 204 was set up about the same as the others, a killbox with obelisks at the start and end and filled with shredders. I tried to spend as little as possible on upgrades, instead prioritizing building shredders to allow them to gain xp. In this run I had added a bunch of other tower types to spice it up, but eventually deleted the encampments and radars because they did very little damage overall and I thought it would make the game run a bit faster. I also added a bunch of lookout towers, in clusters with different target priorities, and they ended up doing heavy damage. Overall the frost keeps did 5% damage, shredders did 12%, lookout towers did 22%, and D.O.T.s did 47%. Frostkeeps and Lookout towers were tied for the lead in Dmg/g. One interesting thing that happened was on level 162 - I noticed all the radar planes had disappeared and the those towers were no longer doing any damage. I'm not sure what caused this but I suspect it was either excessive landmine entities at the far end of the killbox (they REALLY would pile up over a 30 minute wave) or maybe the planes glitched out with the heavy lag combined with running at 3x speed. I tried something you mentioned in another video about running with low mana. Between boss waves I'd delete enough mana banks to allow the monsters to reach farther into the killbox to level up more towers. However this required a lot of baby sitting and was risky but fun. My university upgrades were at about 60 each again. I was thinking it might be possible to keep one university researching a single damage type indefinitely if there are at least 50 towers defending houses on the map, however I'm pretty sure this would not be viable in the long run because it costs so much gold. Something odd I noticed was the effectiveness of the frost towers' slow. At the end the monster speed was +16.25, and yet while slowed by frost towers they would just barely crawl along. When not slowed they would easily outrun a shredder blade. I noticed that when speeding up to 3x the frost towers definitely are less effective allowing the monsters to run much farther before getting slowed down. In this run that was mostly fine against the little monsters but I needed to run it at 1x speed for the boss waves. Ultimately I think this was what ended my run, I put it on 3x speed and set a timer to come back before the boss wave, but I think I just missed him sprinting to the tower on 3x speed :/ oh well, it was getting quite tedious to watch my computer struggle through the waves. One question I don't know how to answer is whether the speedup also nerfs (or somehow buffs?) the xp gain of towers. I was surprised the game didn't crash during this run, however it did crash after I clicked "return to menu" on the death screen. Since then I've been unable to recreate these seemingly infinite runs, in about 15 attempts or so I only made it to level 90 once. Some things I've noticed are: - the polygon monsters seem to be the only viable enemy type as the others easily overwhelm my shredders. - continuing to spend on university upgrades for a little bit after level 45 seems to be good only up to some certain point - unsure what the optimal point is. - level 65 seems to be a bottleneck in terms of difficulty. After this point the effects of increases to monster's life and speed seem to level off. Diminishing returns and all that. - university upgrades seem to be a main factor for me getting past level 65 - beyond level 65 the number of splits seem to be the determining factor in how far the run will go.

🥲 Appreciate the message! Traveling ATM and can't really make videos, do actually have a bit of rogue tower stuff recorded that needs to be edited. Should have more stable living arrangements in a month or so!

@@ACRPlaysGamesSorry for the troll homie, and thanks for the reply back! Just really loved your rogue tower series (as do others, look at the view counts!) because of the careful yet entertaining play style you have. Hope your current traveling plans fare well for you as we await for your glorious return!

Thank you if this is true then yes. As long as you dont abuse this you can do it.

Rn its 13$ for a copy.

@@jeffder7143 for me is like 190 of my money and the minimum salary is 1200

@@jeffder7143that’s not abusing. But the second you read the ToS anything that involves automation and macros is bannable. This isn’t doing automation.

Hmmm... maybe? Would be interesting to try. Its pretty hard to figure out exactly how targeting will work exactly because it's a weighted priority system I don't quite understand and having enemies with very different stats can cause weird behaviors (especially when oogie is in range)

Thanks - doing well - very busy IRL. Happy Holidays to you as well! Thanks for stopping by!

Some of the mods prevent achievements, the speed one doesn't. You can install manually I think but would require github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx and getting it setup which is a little complicated.

Thanks! Yeah looks like it will be a fun game - looking forward to the main release.

Hmm do you have 2FA setup for one of the accounts? Only thing I can think of.

It's likely MFA. That or you typo'd a password. I made a new release a couple days ago that has the option to configure Authentication tokens and connect with those instead of connecting using username and PW parameters. This auth method allows you to connect MFA enabled accounts. Essentially using Auth tokens is the same thing that Bnet launcher uses. See the Setup accounts section in the updated readme. This also helps get around the issue of the Asia authentication servers not working for connecting via parameters. There are some drawbacks to this approach in that you must get into the character select screen before you can launch another instance using the same auth method.

@@shupershuff yeah it was the MFA, thanks again dude you're a GigaChad!!

Damn nice drops! Yeah I've done a bit of qbugged meph. Barb is bugged and using his merc to kill. Have about 700 MF but still missing ~200 easy MF. Might have been better to just bug my sorc and do with ~300 mf though, runs would be faster. Kinda wanted to try it out though. Works okay, but a bit more involved trying to get meph low for easy merc kill (have upped eth ali baba on him so damage is meh)

If you right click in the D2Loader folder and run "Open in Terminal" you should get a PowerShell window then you can run: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\D2Loader.ps1 You can likely change the execution policy globally as well, but that is what I am doing for Windows 11 (just got a new computer).

Thx for the reply had it figured days ago Its a good script

Ha - fair, got me on that.

@@ACRPlaysGames no problem ;) everyday we learn something... Some useful some less useful

I should probably take this off my main channel page lol - it's 3+ balance patches out of date. I agree though! Maybe even A!
