92 is crazy... might be too easy to get. Or there should be something expensive to buy. I can't keep up with this EQ style power levelling

jesus christ i didnt realize how much difference having a dedicated monitor makes. I've had it running in it's own window, the arena has issues with running properly when not in the top window but it doesn't shut down completely like it does in an inactive tab. I've had it going since shortly after this thread was posted and I'm still 5 diamonds away from the x4 upgrade.

Maybe they just need to scale so that each one you have lowers the speed of the next. Maybe not too brutal to get to 3, a little harder to get to 8, then scale a lot more after that. Or add a bunch of much more expensive stuff to buy with them, idk. Once you get your passive really high like mine they’re just really fast cause the cost is flat…I think.92 is crazy... might be too easy to get. Or there should be something expensive to buy.

Quick note on skins.... I have Necromancer unlocked, but can't use that skin. Or is a "skull crusher" something other than just having at least one rank in it?
I do love the new skin.
One functionality note. It feels like dagger damage after the first few arenas (i.e. once you start piling cash into zap) fades from usefulness. Past around Arena 200 it seems irrelevant. Not sure if that means it needs a buff to give a compelling "should I spec daggers, or zap?" or if Zap needs a nerf. heh Also, I haven't even gotten Dagger Master yet, so I have no idea if that will fix the perception/usefulness of dagger.
Also all arena damage and gold becomes trivialized by passive income quick. Not sure if this is a design intention. Could be that you're really making this game to subconsciously program today's youth to prioritize saving for retirement and building passive income streams rather than buying fancier daggers.
Still completely enjoying letting this occupy around 1/4 of my side monitor. It's achieving the goal of any real Idle game in that it's catchy enough to look at I keep catching myself watching it instead of getting other things done. heh

Skull crusher is something you buy later down the track. Also, dagger master triples your dagger dmgQuick note on skins.... I have Necromancer unlocked, but can't use that skin. Or is a "skull crusher" something other than just having at least one rank in it?

Fair enough, I'm still early on in things. Waited for 4 diamonds for first rebirth, going to do a second at some point.
Daggers should become better with the next few upgrades. First Dagger Master, and then a few Necro buffs (Necro uses dagger damage). That should help some. I sort of left Arena income in the dust when I realized it was throttled so hard by browsers. The discrepancy between having the windows visible or not sucks. That's why Arena income tapers off.Quick note on skins.... I have Necromancer unlocked, but can't use that skin. Or is a "skull crusher" something other than just having at least one rank in it?

Oh, minor suggestion. On Wizard, Necromancer and Witch doctor on the tiers themselves you should use the new skins for each on those.

I changed requirements a bit. Necro is now 75. Rebirth Orc works "on my machine" so I can't reproduce atm. It should work if you rebirthed after the 9th, where the counter was introduced. I'll keep an eye out.

Yeah edited my post cause I noticed that right after I posted it. One of the other rebirths unlocked just now so idk, maybe I rebooted before the counter. No big deal, was just pointing out a potential bug.
Also added a suggestion to use the new skins over on the tiers on the left when you unlock those tiers instead of the base Earl. Another thing to make people go “Oooh I could look like that if I unlock that skin.”
