i also think the reason the game lost players quickly after release is that john basically showed the entire game to us before release, all towers, easy and intermediate gamemodes, maps, etc. there was barely any stuff that was not already teased
Why it isnt over for tdx? simple, because it was never over. People just saw that players were low when the current update was about to be replaced by a new one and just said "Yeah this games dying"
"...if a game makes you constantly play it, then you are at higher risk of burnout... I think taking breaks between updates is a much healthier way to enjoy a game." "...doing anything over and over again is bound to get boring. My solution? Stop playing for a bit!" Oh my god, finally someone says this. Someone else who understands the concept of getting bored and taking breaks from TDX. If everyone would just take breaks when they get bored, I assure you the rates of which people complain about TDX being """dry""" would decrease to almost nothing
I would like to say that the endless mode having filler waves is prob because it leaves space to add future event bosses (like the calamity minions from the current halloween event, and more things from the future), also they ARE making a new core game mode, it being the Nightmare mode John has given us sneak peaks of, also, nearly every thing after the endless update makes you want to use older towers over the new, stronger ones, like the TB event or the Early chapters of halloween, also john has stated that Gold Juggernaut, Warship, and Refractor are sort of a ceiling that stops how strong a tower can be, also I think Juggernaut is just supposed to be one dimensional, he is meant to be a big man, with big gun, and big damage, also john doesnt have hidden detection until max on top path which makes it lose armor pierce, he's more so there to help with the early game while you save up for stronger stuff, and he also needs someone else to deal with hiddens, also juggernauts top path was very good during the tower battles event, The battlepass was fixed this year and it felt much shorter and much easier to grind on, with having the towers be the only "hard" things to grind for in the battlepass, The UI was fixed and is much better now, also the only towers i would call outdated is juggernaut, and he gets tons of skins anyways, anyways sorry for yapping ignore if there are spelling mistakes.
another really cool thing they could add would be something analogous to Deep Rock Galactic's Deep Dive or BTD6's odyssey system, where players have to complete multiple maps (possibly random each time, daily/weekly rotation or fixed, could work either ways) in a row for extra rewards, which would solve some problems like the lack of harder modes and giving players an alternative to endless if they want to have a longer gaming session, while adding more incentive to not just grind the same map over and over again using the same strat. Mad props for the video, always a great watch!
Remembering that John said that in the future the expert will have a rework And in the future he said he intends to put unique mechanics for certain towers.
John has a lot of freedom when we talk about every mode now. Right now last waves are just crowds of zombies but with endless enemies it will not make it just crowds of enemies on last waves and we can use w lot of enemies like eradidog,avatar,hunter and etc for expert. (No stupid 3 predators spam on expert). And plague guardians could be both for easy and elite.
Peak video🎉 You talking about the response video brought up something I remembered saying, so I checked and it was my comment in mert's video lol, I didn't know until now
Another thing about regular jug is that the "advisor" says that youre in trouble without it in expert, and yet it seems like i am in trouble if i use it.
For the ones looking for the name of the song (then one when the video starts) the name is "Who's ready for tomorrow?" a song from the Anime Cyberpunk Edge Runners, such an amazing song.
30:40 I fully agree with this statement-it is a "him" problem! I used to be a huge fan of TDS and unlocked every tower. My reaction now? Play TDX… and once I get everything in TDX, it’ll end up in the same boat as TDS. I’ll only join for events because I’ll already have everything and enough money to get the next big thing before moving on to a new tower defense game. The truth is, as an end-game player, what they might not want to accept is that *they've beaten the game*. There’s nothing left for them to accomplish, and it happens to everyone-even players in GTA V who get billions of dollars. At some point, they have to accept that all they can do is either play for fun or come back seasonally for events. NOW, you can actually negate this by, only playing when you want to and not for the grind! you'll feel like your grinding for something new everyday instead of having it handed to you XD
Its funny cuz these people probably haven’t considered helping others. After i beat the tb event on both of my accs. I helped so many people with the battle-pass at once, i got burnout and didn’t really play until helio was released. Im doing the same thing for halloween, helping my friends and randoms beat N3/N4
I recently started playing this game again, and I'll be resolute about it. I used to hate this game mainly because of the grind, but to say that I only hate it because of the grind really feels like it isn't as valid and may just be too vague. As a TDS player who is above level 470 now and a TDX player who played the game on launch and will continue to play it until now, I can say that both games are simultaneously flawed and that both aren't perfect when it comes to grinding for better towers. What I like about TDX is the thought put into it, visually, the game is appealing, the game is very optimized compared to TDS, and I like how the developers are willing to push out more QoL updates. Though originality wise... It's a bit murky, since it is really hard to make original concepts for towers but that doesn't really matter when it comes to TD games in general. I'm starting to really like this game again because of the pacing it provides and it really is refreshing to see something like TDX come out as something new from one of my favorite youtubers (John Roblox ftw). I mean, free speed up in a solo game? Compare that to TDS where you still have to grind for these "Timescale Tickets" which still cost Robux by the way, and I'm looking forward to see endless mode for myself once I'm ready for it. TDX is a nice game, and for me personally, it's quite underrated. I just hope that the developers of TDX don't turn a blind eye and become like TDS where it became somewhat of a cash-grab, unlike the passionate developers they were back then.
18:15 john bottom path does not have hidden detection, unless you count the axe ability which CAN hit hidden enemies, but, he himself cannot fire at them unless they are revealed.
I don't know why but I actually liked how Elite and Expert is a stronger version of Easy and Intermediate. It might be just me TBH, but I like it if the enemies were reintroduced and bumped up their potential to maximum. Since it encapsulates more on what you've learned from them and test how you'll react according when they're given.
I just really want a matchmaking system already😭 It’s so hard to play this game when nobody joins you. It would definitely help a lot and definitely make events more playable
Tbf, I would say that the golden towers being laser is a burden more than a benefit, newer game modes have enemies specifically designed to suppress the golden towers' abilities means that they are not viable for enemies such as assailants. While there is an argument that they both have paths to ignore laser resistance, those are not the paths that you would typically use for DPS as they have significantly less cost efficiency
I feel like the events having an easy mode as well as normal and nightmare would be a good idea so new players can experience the events without having to have the best towers and the best strategy for it. Edit, i would like to add that im not a new player complaining about the difficulty i have every tower but golden mine layer and I’ve beaten all the events except their nightmare versions because i dont really try, i make this point because i like playing with my Friends who dont really play tdx or tower defense x as much as i do. And they have trouble beating the events and i have trouble beating the events with them in a squad. Something like tds has where it maybe you can select preset loadouts or something like that.
im level 166 and have already completed all the current battle pass up to the nuke level, and i love the idea for the selective battle pass, freshing it out so you can focus on what you want and get exclusive skin content if you want it, but i think major items like the end of battle pass nukes or EXP should be capped withing (UNLOCK X AMOUNT OF ITEMS BEFORE PURCHASE) this could work really well with things like relic
i mean with the golden juggernaut, he made it so golden juggernaut can actually be worst then normal juggernaut (pointing out both TDX events aside from the Christmas one, because you know juggernaut and railgun where the main dps at that time)
I feel like when John stats that his game is t beginner friendly, kinda is the reason his game is slowly dying out. If you are trying to push to a more slimmer audience then you will experience having low player base, with John saying you need past experience with tower defence games really lowers his audience down a lot. Because most of tdx’s player came from tds. If John were to solve this problem he could add a section dedicated to the newbies who are new to tower defence games and like realistic military themes which is exactly what tdx is. OR that John made this as passion projects and doesn’t give 2 shots about playbase thus making my entire argument useless but who knows.
for modifiers they well get added if you actually do watch john dev stream in the attack helo stream he said that nightmare rated maps such as the HQ map he showed has modifiers(makes all enemies around 20% faster) for extra gamemodes the halloween event is technically new gamemodes since they are perm and nightmare rated maps is supposed to release soon enough(not confirmed but might be with chapter 3 or 4) which can be viewed as a new way to play the game and an extra challenge especially maps such as d-day(playing endless well be chaos in these maps lol) there well be missions added john commented on that in the video of the attack helo showcase video when one of the fans asked him and i quote "Please stop making towers like 50k+ Its SO painful to grind out hours of gameplay for a tower. Im a guy who doesn't touch grass and 82k for chopper is insane. Like 40-50k would be reasonable." john responded with "we will introduce additional methods to grind gold, one of them being missions" about content for end game players who got everything in the game PVP is a good way to add near infinite content to know how much useful pvp is TB didnt have a real update for like idk 2 years? and its still alive solely for this gamemode so this gamemode is a good addition where endgame players can also play competitively with each other to erase there boredom it will be released in november(probably well get delayed tho) for grinding as a person who grinded for both attack helo warship and other towers (such as slammer medic etc) the grind was not at all boring in fact it was fun the problem is more so because of the thing i call "gamer mentality" which players always look for the fastest way to grind even if it means sacrificing the main thing they are here for(fun) i got warship and attack helo from purely just gathering medals with different harder maps and since the towers i had werent so good it was actually a strong and hard challenge to win expert on normal and hard maps even when i lost the rewards i got were still decent although that took me like over a month for warship but the most important thing is it was fun thats why i hate the battepass because no matter what you do the grind well always be repetitive and annoying there is no fun way to grind i hope the promises john made by making a fun way to grind battle pass is true and it well be fun
The best way to grind is to make friends and play with them. The amount of endless runs I had done did not feel boring since I was helping other people progress, and watching them play around with the new towers they've unlocked is always nice.
Tdx probs one of the better games roblox has, you can see they are actually trying to make good content and this update was insane, they take their time to cook something amazing, and having to play a game 24/7 is insanely draining, i think this game still has problems with repetitive grinding for the battlepasses for example, but its compensated by the durations of the battlepasses.
7:08 On the repetition issue. One of the ways they could further make the game less repetitive is to make it so that depending on what maps you play on, you'll face different enemies instead, similar to how in World Tower Defense, different maps mean different enemies, even if you are playing on the same difficulty. For example, on one map, you may face elemental enemies, while on another map, you will instead face western cowboy-themed enemies. This means you will have other considerations when playing other maps aside from just map positioning and tower placements as you then have to consider what type of enemy you will face.
love WTD, once i got hated on by what I assume were edgy 11 year olds for playing tdx and I was like, k bro, love both games and really do think both are underrated
every point in this video is good ✨ just here to say that if i heard correctly, the team is reworking all modes including Expert being the most prioritized, but for now they looking foward Nightmare Mode
You are an actual good content creator that puts time and quality in your videos, I really look up to that and I want to be like you one day. Stay safe and healhty!

Will summon resurrected golden rangers and golden juggernauts, has a heal ability which heals 30k hp Resurrected Golden Ranger: ( 1000 hp, fast walk speed, 100% laser and bullet resistance) Resurrected Golden Juggernaut: ( 5000 hp, fast walk speed, 100% laser, bullet and melee resistance) ( Nuclear acid zombie, Resurrected Golden Juggernaut give no cash )
this might make laser gunner overpowered, but how about giving bottom path lasergunner a either permanent or temporary Armor shred (with laser resistance being the only resistance not affected) on it's ability. This way it is justifiable for later rounds of some gamemodes, where enemies have insane resistanced you can't account for with just having more powerful towers. Top path could have the same armor shred, but instead of being a one and done burst ability... the microstun ability could do permanent armor shred (with the upper limit being about 25-40% of the enemy's starting armor). Also a shop-like battlepass feels kinda meh... This is a personal preference, but I really like Deep rock Galactic's "Skilltree" based battlepass. For each level/objective you complete you get a single token to expand your "battlepass tree" allowing players to choose whatever they wanna pick from the event, while also motivating them to get deep into the battlepass by locking the "legendary" quality skins and new towers on the very end of the "Battlepass tree's" branches. It could be made so in between each tower/skin there is about 1 or 2 nodes that give either a consumable or gold, so every Battlepass "Skillpoint" feels rewarding to a certain degree...
Remix pls use my comment next video, I think it is very good, and is a very effective way to counter strats, especially the Viciousx team(aka John’s arch nemesis) Btw thank you for hearting my comment❤ I liked my own comment cuz why not
A possibility to fix well the apparently repetetiveness is maps is adding unique enemies to specific maps with resistances not seen in core modes, possibly making you think about your loadout more
Idk abouy grinding being hard i almost always soloed when i joined tdx. Though i did play wigh randos upon release it was literally like 10 minutes old
I think one of the many reason is because TDS also released A LOT of things in the same year TDX did fewer things than usual, for exemple: Fallen rework; Release of Night 1, 2 and 3; Rework of many towers; TWO event towers at once, both can be gotten by free; Gatlin Gun release and Merc base release. these things are not in order, if people can say, you guys can add them to this list.
20:35 simple fix: just ban the overpowered towers that are meant to be used in harder modes. This could fix expert becoming too easy and could solve issues like powercreep down the line.
i really wish there was a sandbox mode allowing people to mess around with towers and enemies and be able to do something like 100 of this type of enemy vs this tower
I agree with most of these point. The only thing is TDX is currently in the equivalent of 2022 TDS where it's small updates with one or two big updates with very small bug fix and skin crate updates.
18:00 here’s the thing, jug actually does has his own quirk which is being immune to getting stunned. It’s just that it’s been ignored a lot through out the updates.
I think another issue you didn't mention is that too many towers ignore resistances. The core game mechanic itself is outdated, almost. They should really narrow down the towers that can ignore resistances, as it was meant to be an interesting counter to this mechanic, not a common one. In turn, scale down the amount of resistances found on some of the enemies, which were put there in the first place because of how powerful some of the towers are
TDX's current state is not that bad, with the updates given, the new QoL is really refreshing for the game. Comparing TDS vs TDX is ridiculous for me because their mechanics are very different in terms of gameplay, but QoL and UI comparisons can be made (maybe?). Despite having a single coder, they should be praised for bringing such good updates to the game. Also new nice content is added at every opportunity (Endless, Abilites, Set ups, [team feature that will come in the future] etc. Other than that, what I would like to add is that the game approaches new players without mercy (for events). For example, if a new player wants to get the relic tower, he needs to grind in 178 turns (I assume they don't have 50% and I think they will finish their turn in 20 minutes). That's 60 hours (2.5 days). I don't think everyone can spend that much time on a game grind. I have enough end game towers + gamepasses. I'll probably do the N4 Nightmare grind and reduce the grinding time to 30-50 matches and probably make a profit from my time. I think the grind needs to be lowered. In addition, they can help new players by doubling the tokens at certain times (they can make the tokens 2x on the weekends like TDS, when most of the players will be on holiday). ) or ( TDS, in this haloween event, giving ready-made setups for normal nights (easy mode) and leaving the players to find tactics can also be helpful, so that only someone with a ranger can see and play N4 and higher-level players with better equipment can play Nightmares. In this way, players from all walks of life can have a great N1-N4 event experience ) [ Sorry if there are problems in certain places, I used translate to explain myself better ]
Tdx needs pvp, missions/quests similar to how the tds quests work and more ways to gain coins except for endless since the game is beginner unfriendly only dedicated players get to see all the cool new towers which is why there isnt that big of a player count
35:10 for the sandbox one I experience from a not so well known td game I played before was Arena Tower Defense their sandbox mode It has towers that you own you can upgrade them to max test out secrets that a tower has and as for skins part for player just get free skin without earning it not so much its base more on towers and combinations to test out which tower is optimal for this boss and you can spawn yourself some enemies without worrying loosing and with a option to go back to the main hub/lobby Edit: As well as modifiers you make your own lobby you can either add modifiers before starting like lights out where the whole map is in complete darkness only with little illumination only about 3 studs around the player or double boss hp with modifiers enable you get increased rewards but Idk how john will implement it in TDX though extra/not relevant: during their 1st anniversary i think their skin obtainment was unique forcing you to join one of their old games and do a certain objective on a certain map it was awesome sadly its somewhat dead fopr every holiday even peaking at 1k-3k at most its basically BTD6 concept of sandbox and secrets for towers and maps
Oddly enough the macro part 41:11 was implemented in another td game I played a bit called Drone Defense (With the exact way you said it) it is kinda broken thou
i think that tdx will have so much more features but they just don't have enough hands to work on all that even tho they are making updates prety quickliy and they are very high quality ofc with some exeptions and the main problem is time
The thing about a certain TDX youtuber its just that they made early good video about TDX and since popularity is booming of course the ego is also expanding
MertW: ''There is powercreep!!! New towers will make old towers be left in the dust!!!!!'' Meanwhile, YuukTV using quite literally all of those 'old towers' for strats for the event:
As a level 130 myself of course tdx has its issues but so does every tower defense game and John has said he wants to fix a lot of these issues like adding matchmaking and other stuff but I still enjoy the game and the event rn is pretty fun but you gotta remember there's only 1 main dev I get Mertz points and I get your points and I have a mix of both. Have a wonderful day and if your bored with the game go play something else it's always available:) (also John said there will be no sandbox mode lol)
the power creep problem really makes no sense think about it, do you think a shotgunner has to be the same as something like attack heli or juggernaut? of course not, they are much more expensive than shotgunner and take more hours to grind. i do agree with gjugg powercreeping on most of the other tower tho
i have faith in tdx completely i’m been playing day one it’s a fun and challenging game that i enjoy doing strategy’s seeing the new cool bosses and bosses being the core gameplay of tdx is a new way to make a tower defense such as the engineer have amazing design or the heretic being amazingly cool thanks remi for bringing up these issues in a good way much love ❤
Should have brought up how damn expensive every new tower is! (Minus sentry) the warship part, he literally brought up how it replaced artillery, Were you brought up what artillery did, map wide range and big aoe.

Poor gal
For the ones looking for the name of the song (then one when the video starts) the name is "Who's ready for tomorrow?" a song from the Anime Cyberpunk Edge Runners, such an amazing song.
Thats a cool anime 8/10
30:40 I fully agree with this statement-it is a "him" problem! I used to be a huge fan of TDS and unlocked every tower. My reaction now? Play TDX… and once I get everything in TDX, it’ll end up in the same boat as TDS. I’ll only join for events because I’ll already have everything and enough money to get the next big thing before moving on to a new tower defense game.
The truth is, as an end-game player, what they might not want to accept is that *they've beaten the game*. There’s nothing left for them to accomplish, and it happens to everyone-even players in GTA V who get billions of dollars. At some point, they have to accept that all they can do is either play for fun or come back seasonally for events.
NOW, you can actually negate this by, only playing when you want to and not for the grind! you'll feel like your grinding for something new everyday instead of having it handed to you XD
Its funny cuz these people probably haven’t considered helping others. After i beat the tb event on both of my accs. I helped so many people with the battle-pass at once, i got burnout and didn’t really play until helio was released. Im doing the same thing for halloween, helping my friends and randoms beat N3/N4
Damn, another hour-long video? Remi is officially the goat of TDX
I recently started playing this game again, and I'll be resolute about it.
I used to hate this game mainly because of the grind, but to say that I only hate it because of the grind really feels like it isn't as valid and may just be too vague. As a TDS player who is above level 470 now and a TDX player who played the game on launch and will continue to play it until now, I can say that both games are simultaneously flawed and that both aren't perfect when it comes to grinding for better towers.
What I like about TDX is the thought put into it, visually, the game is appealing, the game is very optimized compared to TDS, and I like how the developers are willing to push out more QoL updates. Though originality wise... It's a bit murky, since it is really hard to make original concepts for towers but that doesn't really matter when it comes to TD games in general.
I'm starting to really like this game again because of the pacing it provides and it really is refreshing to see something like TDX come out as something new from one of my favorite youtubers (John Roblox ftw). I mean, free speed up in a solo game? Compare that to TDS where you still have to grind for these "Timescale Tickets" which still cost Robux by the way, and I'm looking forward to see endless mode for myself once I'm ready for it.
TDX is a nice game, and for me personally, it's quite underrated. I just hope that the developers of TDX don't turn a blind eye and become like TDS where it became somewhat of a cash-grab, unlike the passionate developers they were back then.
18:15 john bottom path does not have hidden detection, unless you count the axe ability which CAN hit hidden enemies, but, he himself cannot fire at them unless they are revealed.
I don't know why but I actually liked how Elite and Expert is a stronger version of Easy and Intermediate.
It might be just me TBH, but I like it if the enemies were reintroduced and bumped up their potential to maximum. Since it encapsulates more on what you've learned from them and test how you'll react according when they're given.
i feel like the eventual pvp mode will be a really fun mode for all types of players. Thats something that will 100% help tdx in my opinion.
I just really want a matchmaking system already😭
It’s so hard to play this game when nobody joins you. It would definitely help a lot and definitely make events more playable
Tbf, I would say that the golden towers being laser is a burden more than a benefit, newer game modes have enemies specifically designed to suppress the golden towers' abilities means that they are not viable for enemies such as assailants. While there is an argument that they both have paths to ignore laser resistance, those are not the paths that you would typically use for DPS as they have significantly less cost efficiency
Terminator text/font in each sections ❤, doing gym rn and listening to this 💪
one hour??? hell yeah! we are blessed by this upload
I feel like the events having an easy mode as well as normal and nightmare would be a good idea so new players can experience the events without having to have the best towers and the best strategy for it. Edit, i would like to add that im not a new player complaining about the difficulty i have every tower but golden mine layer and I’ve beaten all the events except their nightmare versions because i dont really try, i make this point because i like playing with my Friends who dont really play tdx or tower defense x as much as i do. And they have trouble beating the events and i have trouble beating the events with them in a squad. Something like tds has where it maybe you can select preset loadouts or something like that.
im level 166 and have already completed all the current battle pass up to the nuke level, and i love the idea for the selective battle pass, freshing it out so you can focus on what you want and get exclusive skin content if you want it, but i think major items like the end of battle pass nukes or EXP should be capped withing (UNLOCK X AMOUNT OF ITEMS BEFORE PURCHASE) this could work really well with things like relic
The Relic tower is out, hope it doesn`t break any system in Tdx. 🤔🤔🤔
i mean with the golden juggernaut, he made it so golden juggernaut can actually be worst then normal juggernaut (pointing out both TDX events aside from the Christmas one, because you know juggernaut and railgun where the main dps at that time)
I feel like when John stats that his game is t beginner friendly, kinda is the reason his game is slowly dying out. If you are trying to push to a more slimmer audience then you will experience having low player base, with John saying you need past experience with tower defence games really lowers his audience down a lot. Because most of tdx’s player came from tds. If John were to solve this problem he could add a section dedicated to the newbies who are new to tower defence games and like realistic military themes which is exactly what tdx is. OR that John made this as passion projects and doesn’t give 2 shots about playbase thus making my entire argument useless but who knows.
for modifiers they well get added if you actually do watch john dev stream in the attack helo stream he said that nightmare rated maps such as the HQ map he showed has modifiers(makes all enemies around 20% faster)
for extra gamemodes the halloween event is technically new gamemodes since they are perm and nightmare rated maps is supposed to release soon enough(not confirmed but might be with chapter 3 or 4) which can be viewed as a new way to play the game and an extra challenge especially maps such as d-day(playing endless well be chaos in these maps lol)
there well be missions added john commented on that in the video of the attack helo showcase video when one of the fans asked him and i quote
"Please stop making towers like 50k+
Its SO painful to grind out hours of gameplay for a tower. Im a guy who doesn't touch grass and 82k for chopper is insane. Like 40-50k would be reasonable."
john responded with "we will introduce additional methods to grind gold, one of them being missions"
about content for end game players who got everything in the game PVP is a good way to add near infinite content to know how much useful pvp is TB didnt have a real update for like idk 2 years? and its still alive solely for this gamemode so this gamemode is a good addition where endgame players can also play competitively with each other to erase there boredom it will be released in november(probably well get delayed tho)
for grinding as a person who grinded for both attack helo warship and other towers (such as slammer medic etc) the grind was not at all boring in fact it was fun
the problem is more so because of the thing i call "gamer mentality" which players always look for the fastest way to grind even if it means sacrificing the main thing they are here for(fun) i got warship and attack helo from purely just gathering medals with different harder maps and since the towers i had werent so good it was actually a strong and hard challenge to win expert on normal and hard maps even when i lost the rewards i got were still decent although that took me like over a month for warship but the most important thing is it was fun
thats why i hate the battepass because no matter what you do the grind well always be repetitive and annoying there is no fun way to grind
i hope the promises john made by making a fun way to grind battle pass is true and it well be fun
The best way to grind is to make friends and play with them. The amount of endless runs I had done did not feel boring since I was helping other people progress, and watching them play around with the new towers they've unlocked is always nice.
@@zhegn4420Yeah, same here
Tdx probs one of the better games roblox has, you can see they are actually trying to make good content and this update was insane, they take their time to cook something amazing, and having to play a game 24/7 is insanely draining, i think this game still has problems with repetitive grinding for the battlepasses for example, but its compensated by the durations of the battlepasses.
The halloween event suck too hard and make me quit from the game for a time
Cook better john pls 👁️👁️
7:08 On the repetition issue. One of the ways they could further make the game less repetitive is to make it so that depending on what maps you play on, you'll face different enemies instead, similar to how in World Tower Defense, different maps mean different enemies, even if you are playing on the same difficulty.
For example, on one map, you may face elemental enemies, while on another map, you will instead face western cowboy-themed enemies.
This means you will have other considerations when playing other maps aside from just map positioning and tower placements as you then have to consider what type of enemy you will face.
love WTD, once i got hated on by what I assume were edgy 11 year olds for playing tdx and I was like, k bro, love both games and really do think both are underrated
every point in this video is good ✨
just here to say that if i heard correctly, the team is reworking all modes including Expert being the most prioritized, but for now they looking foward Nightmare Mode
You are an actual good content creator that puts time and quality in your videos, I really look up to that and I want to be like you one day. Stay safe and healhty!

( Nuclear acid zombie, Resurrected Golden Juggernaut give no cash )
this might make laser gunner overpowered, but how about giving bottom path lasergunner a either permanent or temporary Armor shred (with laser resistance being the only resistance not affected) on it's ability. This way it is justifiable for later rounds of some gamemodes, where enemies have insane resistanced you can't account for with just having more powerful towers. Top path could have the same armor shred, but instead of being a one and done burst ability... the microstun ability could do permanent armor shred (with the upper limit being about 25-40% of the enemy's starting armor). Also a shop-like battlepass feels kinda meh... This is a personal preference, but I really like Deep rock Galactic's "Skilltree" based battlepass. For each level/objective you complete you get a single token to expand your "battlepass tree" allowing players to choose whatever they wanna pick from the event, while also motivating them to get deep into the battlepass by locking the "legendary" quality skins and new towers on the very end of the "Battlepass tree's" branches. It could be made so in between each tower/skin there is about 1 or 2 nodes that give either a consumable or gold, so every Battlepass "Skillpoint" feels rewarding to a certain degree...
Remix pls use my comment next video, I think it is very good, and is a very effective way to counter strats, especially the Viciousx team(aka John’s arch nemesis)
Btw thank you for hearting my comment❤
I liked my own comment cuz why not
A possibility to fix well the apparently repetetiveness is maps is adding unique enemies to specific maps with resistances not seen in core modes, possibly making you think about your loadout more
Being able to beat intermediate and novice when i first started tdx made me love tdx even more knowing that my skill can help me
TDX is going places, good ones, 2025 is the YEAR for TDX i feel it
MertW's video as a whole is just a huge "HIM" issue
Good job on handling the discussion in a respectful way
Idk abouy grinding being hard i almost always soloed when i joined tdx. Though i did play wigh randos upon release it was literally like 10 minutes old
I think one of the many reason is because TDS also released A LOT of things in the same year TDX did fewer things than usual, for exemple:
Fallen rework;
Release of Night 1, 2 and 3;
Rework of many towers;
TWO event towers at once, both can be gotten by free;
Gatlin Gun release and Merc base release.
these things are not in order, if people can say, you guys can add them to this list.
tds dev team is more than twice as much as tdx team its kinda expected ngl
Pursuit rework, commando rework are incoming as well. Don't forget other towers were reworked
it’s over, the end, and the rizz
I have my food ready, I think, I'm ready to watch this masterpiece
bruh you are so underrated is so sad seeing that people like you dont even have 10k
20:35 simple fix: just ban the overpowered towers that are meant to be used in harder modes. This could fix expert becoming too easy and could solve issues like powercreep down the line.
i really wish there was a sandbox mode allowing people to mess around with towers and enemies and be able to do something like 100 of this type of enemy vs this tower
12:00 endless mode is meant to be long its endless
I agree with most of these point. The only thing is TDX is currently in the equivalent of 2022 TDS where it's small updates with one or two big updates with very small bug fix and skin crate updates.
the patient zero 😭
18:00 here’s the thing, jug actually does has his own quirk which is being immune to getting stunned. It’s just that it’s been ignored a lot through out the updates.
why did you hit us with that man 33:54
AN HOUR VIDEO??? WHATT
this guy really made me watch a 1 hour video. I really like it
I quit the game because of the trend of the strongest towers which I get bullied and not being able to grind because I can’t find a team
I can help you bud
Respond if you need help
Fair
Not the cyberpunk 2077 music 😭 Lucy deserved better💔
33:53 ... why... no... not the memories
I think another issue you didn't mention is that too many towers ignore resistances. The core game mechanic itself is outdated, almost. They should really narrow down the towers that can ignore resistances, as it was meant to be an interesting counter to this mechanic, not a common one. In turn, scale down the amount of resistances found on some of the enemies, which were put there in the first place because of how powerful some of the towers are
Claiming that TDX is repetitive is like saying a game with grind is grindy... what? What are we even saying here?
TDX's current state is not that bad, with the updates given, the new QoL is really refreshing for the game. Comparing TDS vs TDX is ridiculous for me because their mechanics are very different in terms of gameplay, but QoL and UI comparisons can be made (maybe?). Despite having a single coder, they should be praised for bringing such good updates to the game. Also new nice content is added at every opportunity (Endless, Abilites, Set ups, [team feature that will come in the future] etc. Other than that, what I would like to add is that the game approaches new players without mercy (for events). For example, if a new player wants to get the relic tower, he needs to grind in 178 turns (I assume they don't have 50% and I think they will finish their turn in 20 minutes). That's 60 hours (2.5 days). I don't think everyone can spend that much time on a game grind. I have enough end game towers + gamepasses. I'll probably do the N4 Nightmare grind and reduce the grinding time to 30-50 matches and probably make a profit from my time. I think the grind needs to be lowered. In addition, they can help new players by doubling the tokens at certain times (they can make the tokens 2x on the weekends like TDS, when most of the players will be on holiday). ) or ( TDS, in this haloween event, giving ready-made setups for normal nights (easy mode) and leaving the players to find tactics can also be helpful, so that only someone with a ranger can see and play N4 and higher-level players with better equipment can play Nightmares. In this way, players from all walks of life can have a great N1-N4 event experience ) [ Sorry if there are problems in certain places, I used translate to explain myself better ]
Amazing, well put video that addresses all arguments fairly.
Tdx needs pvp, missions/quests similar to how the tds quests work and more ways to gain coins except for endless since the game is beginner unfriendly only dedicated players get to see all the cool new towers which is why there isnt that big of a player count
john thought about quest
51:16 skil is crazy.
I love the tdx video essays
Guys I think its 2X POINTS CHAPTER II🎃 Tower Defense X: BETAover 😞😞😞
35:10 for the sandbox one I experience from a not so well known td game I played before was Arena Tower Defense their sandbox mode It has towers that you own you can upgrade them to max test out secrets that a tower has and as for skins part for player just get free skin without earning it not so much its base more on towers and combinations to test out which tower is optimal for this boss and you can spawn yourself some enemies without worrying loosing and with a option to go back to the main hub/lobby
Edit: As well as modifiers you make your own lobby you can either add modifiers before starting like lights out where the whole map is in complete darkness only with little illumination only about 3 studs around the player or double boss hp with modifiers enable you get increased rewards but Idk how john will implement it in TDX though
extra/not relevant: during their 1st anniversary i think their skin obtainment was unique forcing you to join one of their old games and do a certain objective on a certain map it was awesome sadly its somewhat dead fopr every holiday even peaking at 1k-3k at most its basically BTD6 concept of sandbox and secrets for towers and maps
Wake up, boys. That one roblox ice cream man uploaded a vid.
remi, you are one of the best tdx youtuber i know about
Oddly enough the macro part 41:11 was implemented in another td game I played a bit called Drone Defense (With the exact way you said it)
it is kinda broken thou
i think that tdx will have so much more features but they just don't have enough hands to work on all that even tho they are making updates prety quickliy and they are very high quality ofc with some exeptions and the main problem is time
8:44 hey, Intermediate mode in TDS isn't unnecessary (especially becouse molten will be harder than intermediate after the rework)
Two words, laser resistance
The way btd6 handles sandbox mode is the way sandbox mode should be handled
Lil tiny mistake, at 18:16 you said John has hidden on both paths, just to let you know
Also sentry is basically a lil' XWM turret.
Rebuilds, bullets, even rockets, but much weaker for a much lower price
The thing about a certain TDX youtuber its just that they made early good video about TDX and since popularity is booming of course the ego is also expanding
Cyber punk edge runners .. NOO NOT FLASHBACKS!!! Anyway good vid
Certainly this has already been suggested...
Tower restrictions on difficulties. Can't use OPKillmaxxer Mk420C on easier modes.
Brazil was so entertaining in live chat
This MIGHT be peak 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I finished 4 rounds of chapter 2 nightmare while watching this
a wise worm once said:
“it’s not over yet, kid.”
Only in TDX!
the dps gap between ranger and g-jug isn't as vast as you might think, especially when compared to other td games (most notably tds)
Im concerned for remi's editor
Ye buff XMW turret it feels like they nerfed it so bad
So TDS players are complaining about tdx as a BLD player who enjoys TDX I can agree with you.
Calling mertW a tdx content creator is glaze. And disingenuous to actual tdx content creators.
Honestly the idea of the modifiers is great since basically pixel gun tower defense have them so that'll be useful, progression wise
24:40 i think he meant the comparison between the 100 dps from a starter tower in tdx to around 20 in some other games such as tower defense simulator
i really hope they make some way to get event towers after the events are finished when the game is in a more stable place
Tdx has a bright future :)
MertW: ''There is powercreep!!! New towers will make old towers be left in the dust!!!!!''
Meanwhile, YuukTV using quite literally all of those 'old towers' for strats for the event:
As a level 130 myself of course tdx has its issues but so does every tower defense game and John has said he wants to fix a lot of these issues like adding matchmaking and other stuff but I still enjoy the game and the event rn is pretty fun but you gotta remember there's only 1 main dev I get Mertz points and I get your points and I have a mix of both. Have a wonderful day and if your bored with the game go play something else it's always available:) (also John said there will be no sandbox mode lol)
the power creep problem really makes no sense
think about it, do you think a shotgunner has to be the same as something like attack heli or juggernaut? of course not, they are much more expensive than shotgunner and take more hours to grind.
i do agree with gjugg powercreeping on most of the other tower tho
i have faith in tdx completely i’m been playing day one it’s a fun and challenging game that i enjoy doing strategy’s seeing the new cool bosses and bosses being the core gameplay of tdx is a new way to make a tower defense such as the engineer have amazing design or the heretic being amazingly cool thanks remi for bringing up these issues in a good way much love ❤
Is this ai generated
Should have brought up how damn expensive every new tower is! (Minus sentry) the warship part, he literally brought up how it replaced artillery, Were you brought up what artillery did, map wide range and big aoe.
