MetaFilter Clicker Heroes clan, anyone? August 11, 2015 9:45 PM Subscribe
So MetaFilter's into clicker games, generally, and the Clicker Heroes 0.20 patch just dropped and adds clans. I couldn't find an existing MetaFilter clan -- and I'm just a few rubies shy of the 50 needed to create one. Anyone else playing CH and feel like teaming up?
Which is to say: if anyone's into it, comment here and I'll drop 50 rubies on creating a clan for us rather than on my normal Quick Ascension.

Oh, yeah: Clicker Heroes. There's also a version on Steam which I believe is identical except that it takes a bit longer for patches to propagate there. Flash, free.

I guess what I'm asking is whether it's more challenging than simply being patient and waiting for gold to accumulate. I mean, I see that upgrades will allow you to gather gold faster. But for example, is it possible to lose?
posted by zarq at 10:13 AM on August 12, 2015
posted by zarq at 10:13 AM on August 12, 2015
It is possible to lose in the sense that you will arrive at boss monsters you can't defeat at your current level. You don't die, but if you don't defeat a boss monster within the time limit, you go back to the level before it. Then you can either go back and farm some gold to get better heroes, or get more ancients powers, or other options for increasing your powerfulness to defeat the boss. It's not really about losing, though, but about finding the right configuration to allow you to go further.

Does anyone else feel like spending 50 rubies to create a 2nd clan? Might be good to have separate clans for CH newbies and old-timers; some of the comments on Reddit suggests clans work best when members are at roughly the same level of highest-zone-ever.

Hi. I started playing this yesterday, damn you all. I am interested in being in a clan but I cannot figure out how, even though I'm on v0.20. I'm either overlooking something really obvious or I haven't unlocked something (do you need to have an Ascension under your belt, maybe?) Anyway, if I figure it out at some point, and there are still clans with spots in them, I shall join.

Stacey, eventually you'll notice a tab on the far right above your list of fighter peeps. It has three ghostly blue figures on it with their hands in the air apparently rocking out hard and having the greatest time ever. Click on that and you get all kinds of social options including joining a clan. I'm not sure if you have to get to level 100 or something for the social options to appear, but you don't have to ascend. I'm afraid to join a clan because I'm so terrible at this game. The worse you are, the more ruinous the dopamine blast when you get what is called a "ruby." (WHY IS THE RUBY A FISH/CITRUS FRUIT? WHY ISN'T IT RED?)

Is it always an animal-plant combo like that? Because that means when it turns out to be a ruby, it's animal, vegetable, AND mineral, all in one! This must be what makes the game so compelling that I must spend a minimum of 20 hours clicking on it each and every day of my life from now until the hour of my death, when I will probably be at level 8,977,555,234,136 or so.

Oh -- it's possible you need to create an online account to enable the Clans tab. The little floppy-disc icon in the column at top-right. If you're not logged in it'll probably have a little bouncing ! on it.
(It was originally for online save, which is useful for moving between computers; I suspect Clan identity is built on it too. It asks for an email address + password; I haven't noticed any spam arising from it.)

No, that's not necessary because I never created an online account and I got the Clans tab. As an aside, did anyone figure out if the raids happen at the same time every day? (Obviously, at the moment I am hard at work reading MetaFilter, not wasting my time at home playing Clicker Heroes).

So when you enter a raid, do you enter with whatever your current DPS and click damage are in the non-clan game, or is there some kind of objective power level you're assigned based on hero souls or something? I'm ascending a few times a day to farm HS and chase the 250 ascension achievement but wanted to make sure not to ascend within a reasonable build-up time before midnight UTC so I wouldn't be a weak baby during today's raid...

When I checked out the raid I saw my attack rating was something like 1500. It seemed to be based on the number of hero souls I earned since I had logged in that day. I then ascended and earned another 2000 or so hero souls and saw that my attack rating had increased by another 2000. So it seems to be directly tied to the number of hero souls you earned. I'm thinking it may reset at midnight UTC so everyone has to build up their hero souls, but that's just a guess. If it didn't reset then I'd have tied it directly to the number of hero souls you have instead of starting from 0 and increasing.

I believe strictly speaking the raid lasts until that day's immortal is killed, with each clan member getting a 30s attack to damage it. So raids should get more fun once you reach a high enough level of immortal that it takes more than one person's damage to beat it.

I don't get it. In the ClickFilter clan Sparky and I ran today's raid. We killed 9 enemies, each getting progressively harder, before time ran out. The "Today's Raid" screen now says "Immortal Level 1 Defeated". If we killed 9 guys, how come it's Immortal Level 1? How does one encounter Immortal Level 2, etc.?

I think that means that your raid tomorrow should start at Immortal Level 10.
But I may have all this completely wrong.

I recognize most of the members in clan MetaFilter except Droojo, NeoHakke, and Consonants -- speak up!
Haven't heard from any of them.
Droojo and NeoHakke aren't MeFi usernames; kicked.
Consonants might be a lurking MeFite so benefit of the doubt.
So, 2 open slots on clan MetaFilter: reply here or MeMail me with your CH username and I'll grant requests.

Our clan (ClickFilter) had a bug for a few days where we weren't advancing past the Lvl 1 Immortal, so if anyone didn't get in within 30 seconds of when the first clan member started the raid, they'd pretty much be locked out for the next 23:59:30! But as of today we're up to Lvl 20 and it's getting to where it takes several attempts to kill the daily Immortal, so if anyone got discouraged after several days of not being able to join the fight, please keep checking over the next several days. The Immortals are getting more powerful and we'll need all the help we can get to kill them!

Yo, Consonants: reading the Reddit threads, I think you need to (a) wait 30 seconds past midnight UTC, then (b) refresh the page to get the next level Immortal.
Otherwise you'll just end up killing the Level 23 immortal every day, it'll never advance to Level 24, and we won't ever reach a level high enough to give everyone a crack at fighting it.

How on earth have some of you got to 1000+? I'm having difficulties getting past 160. Am I missing something? I've Libertas and Siyalatas lvl 4, 40 hero souls, Treebeast at 1000 levels, using the calculator to get most efficient upgrades, and it still feels just like starting a new game. Do I just need patience?

For me I think it was (a) using The Masked Samurai, which apparently is/was the best bang-for-the-buck of the early heroes; (b) getting a couple of gilds onto him; (c) Argiav to increase the multiplier that gilding gives a hero. (But that that stage deliberately gilding a hero with shift-click is too expensive; until you can afford to deliberately gild Samurai, better to simply focus on levelling up whichever of your heroes is most gilded.)
Levelling Midas to 100 and buying his charms gets you a lot more gold per hit. Mammon and Mimzee are also useful for getting more gold. More gold = more levels on your best hero = more chance to reach higher zones and get more gilds on your heroes.
Also: Ascend to bank Hero Souls whenever your progress stalls; summoning and leveling up Ancients is the way to progress.
Even with all this though: once you hit Frostleaf progress through the remaining "ranger" heroes (Dread Knight onwards) is very slow; they're spaced a lot further apart.

(Oh, and Vaagur to reduce reload times + the EDR / ER combo for maximizing The Dark Ritual. Dark Ritual damage multipliers apply to the lifetime of the current ascension, so it's worth hitting it early and often IMHO.)

How long have you been playing? How long does it take to get to level 100? How long after getting to level 100 do you wait before ascending?
I'm well over 150 days in now and only just cracked 1000 this week although I was being very inefficient getting here. I could probably get to this same point in half the time by playing the way I do now . We had a deal, Kyle has some good suggestions if you're not aware of them.

Looks like I'm out of date on that; this incredibly technical Reddit thread indicates that Treebeast is indeed the more efficient choice.

I don't particularly know, but I suspect it has something to do with the following statistics. Time played since first click: 329 days, world ascensions: 125.
At the lower levels, using all the extra powers on bosses, like clickstorm, and energizing dark ritual, and whatnot. Make sure to buy as many levels of heroes as possible before ascending, as every 2,000 translates to one more soul upon ascension. Using some of the optimizers may be helpful as well -- it may be that you're better off not getting ancients yet, or just one specific one, and it can help you figure that out. And if you're really slogging through levels, it really can help to restart often to build up your hero souls.
