I looked back at the worst and most broken update in roblox Tower Defense Simulator history. In 2020 the TDS devs tried to do a live event for the hardcore overhaul update and things went... not so good... ft. ‪@eggrypted‬

    This was actually the best tds update ever because it added neko dj sorry I forgot to put that in the video THANKS TO EGGRYPTED AND EVERYONE I USED FOOTAGE FROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • @rofialhd
    with the data migration issue i lost 3 golden towers, commando and gladiator. it was a horrible experience and i will never get those towers back without spending robux in the game (gtowers not included in that tho)
  • @Tronvibes
    The only really disappointing part about the hardcore update was the fact that 1. Most of the tower back then got a huge rework to the point it’s not even useable at all (especially the John tower), 2. The removal of Golden mode and Plat crates, and finally 3. Which was that it was region locked when entering hardcore lobby (which they already change that so thank god). But now with the current TDS I am glad that they’re slowly coming back up where they used to be before the entire hardcore update that.
  • @sleepykoda
    I think that this game could really use a big rebalancing update, especially with the modes and certain towers but it has definitely gotten a lot better since then.
  • @peltirogus
    In my honest opinion, I've watched the game grow since 2019. It's had ups and downs. But everything that happened after the Egg Hunt event just spiralled downhill. Nowadays, I don't get as much enthusiasm as I did before with TDS. Something has changed. It just isn't the same anymore. On another note, great video, it basically sums up the Hardcore Live update. I enjoyed it very much.

    Designer and Creator of Accelerator Tower here. The update was a Hell of a clusterfuck as the developers lacked motivation and originality with the update ever since the release of... I think the event of when Lord Sinister was released. Did I like the update when they first released Hardcore? Well, yeah. I did. Because I wanted to see how the Accelerator Tower performed (Spoiler alert: it was okay, but Jesus Christ). The owner is devious, and it's apparent if you get to know him deeply. When I say the game and the devs begin to lack originality, I mean it. The reason why Golden Titan was removed is that the enemy and design were solely ripped from a famous non-ROBLOX game, Risk of Rain 2 (fun game, try it!), and the same for other enemies/bosses. Y'know, it's funny that to those who played Minecraft before, you damn know that he ripped the designs from other games and even the ideas from Tower Battles. I shit you not; Accelerator Tower was/is based on Phaser from Tower Battles with identical usage until it was just a "burst-damage Tower with a short cooldown." The developers and the owners seriously lack the ways and knowledge of entertaining the players now. It just makes me disappointed and sad to see how the game and the brain rot community have become. I doubt there is a way to redeem themselves after many TERRIBLE updates and changes. I like to thank you for this video; I just got tired and felt a little motivation to share this small portion of my rant about this game. Just because the game is so popular doesn't mean they have the right and power to change or take everything as part of their ownership.

    The thing I don’t like about this update is all the features they removed. I was at the point where I could play hardcore but not good enough to beat it. I felt fallen became much harder and molten and normal were way too easy to beat. Since golden was gone it made it much worse. Also the delay was bad because of that I missed the live event but it didn’t seem too important anyway. Also I might’ve been bad because I didn’t use supports that often. And without accel, I lost Halloween 2020. But the toxic gunner wasn’t that good anyway. I think the game has gotten a lot better after that, but the overhaul update still has some lasting affects. For example, they can’t make normal easier or molten harder, golden is still gone and, hardcore has a way to early level to play. I think it should be around level 75 or 100 at this point. but they could always make hardcore easier because it’s stupid you pretty much need accel or engi to beat it which is silly, considering you get those from playing hardcore. Also outlaw is a better name than ranger
  • It's a miracle that they managed to find their footing after the hardcore update I mean sure it took a year of therapy but a recovery is a recovery
  • @Sharkghosts
    I love ur vids (the editing is good, and you have original ideas)
  • @cabecareal
    4:30 actually, the deluxe crate didnt exist yet, it was introduced on the final overhaul testings a few days before the update actually released, so yes they were on the right crates
  • @An1hony
    I remember being at the event and it sucked how tons of features were removed or changed. I ended up quitting the game for a good half a year with maybe a few rounds every couple weeks during it.
  • @Xenoversify
    I will say that the Overhaul update was one of the bigger dissapointments I've ever witnessed. I was part of the live event, but the meteors did not fall down. Instead, the lobby floor just vanished. At least that's how I remember it happened to me. Plus, the game was not so kind to me as i was unable to play a single match in the new Beta form of the update. Not a regular match, not even Hardcore.
  • @pursuit2506
    I gotta say that the update was a downfall at first but they reinstated it to somewhat ok. Great video but I have mainly one complaint besides from this fail of an update, the gems. The way gems are given when playing hardcore even to this day is pretty inconsistent especially when trying to buy the engineer. I feel like the devs should at least do something about that since most of us don't have the time to grind.
  • @Teaspoon9205
    Another thing was the variety that the premium minigunner skins offered. Some skins used totally diferent weapons instead of the minigun. Now they just feel like NFTs
  • @TRHCorp
    I remember i was freaking out during the time the game was closed i was so desesperate to see the update finally, it was worth seeing a lot as i didnt really experience many bugs
  • One thing that I would have loved to see for hardcore is a monthly changing or even seasonal type game mode (since realistically 1 month changes for game modes are hard), where every either 1, or 3 months they would change the wave structures, focusing on a certain gimmick. Double spawns but less hp, most enemies are flying, or metal, etc. With then changing the types of enemies that come out. Being a ever changing challenge other than events focusing on that idea. Every time it updated it would have brought back quite a bit of people to try the new seasonal or monthly challenge of what is hardcore mode.
