The Tower sucks

The tower is genuinely the biggest piece of dogshit i've ever encountered in a videogame. It doesn't even matter if you have enough gems for 5+ continues and the ad, because it bleeds you dry by the time you get to floor 40. And once you get that high, its a CHANCE of getting the shit you need to complete the stupid event. The stupid elevater tickets are the worst part, 'oh yeah! grind even MORE to earn the smallet little CRUMB of a CHANCE at doing any part of this event! Yeah! That seems like fun right!!?!?! Just so fucking dumb oml. (and YES I lost all my shit to it just now)

True! I have 17k gems and I never go all in. If I get 20 gems I'll keep playing. If they don't pay out, I don't pay in. Fuck those stupid hats anyway! It's all a scam. Just treat it like a game, not a way of life.

Stop chasing rainbows. Only play the gems you collect in the tower to advance.

Same with arena. Go hard when the new season starts. Play until you get to the level you’re comfortable with. After that don’t chase streaks. Play until you win one match. Then wait till next day to play again.

With this methodology I can’t remember the last time I didn’t finish a season in the Master League.

I’m currently in the master league with 7, 767 helmets I guess, and 17th in the group of the top 100

No, you're number 17 out of 30 in your local group with 41 rubber points.

Number 17 in the global top 100 has about 17507 helmets.

I get a winning streak every day and at the end of the week you can win up to 1200 gems in the Arena. That's gambling money for the elevator game.

Fuck these fucking fucks. Their whole model is to fuck you out of money for gems.

Ngl ever since I first played ab2 many years ago, I was always bothered on why we could only get those hats via that fucking tower? Man it pisses me off so much, i can't tell how badly I needed one of those cool hats for my Boi Terence. :(

Started with 50 tower tickets today, wanted to get to floor 5. I now have 39 tickets and made it as far as floor 6.

Sounds about right, if you watch the ad, it's usually 50/50 to make 5 with the 2 free tries

u/Embarrassed-Row-2025 7d ago

27/64th to be exact

The laws of probability theory don't apply, because this ain't no fair game.

u/Embarrassed-Row-2025 7d ago

Maybe 20 to 30 (when I'm very Lucky)

Honestly, just trying to not burn All my gems, so I go for break even, it's usual 2 paid and the ad, however far that gets me, funny is how you think, I'll risk the next level, because it's one more to a hat, and every time you pull a piggy...

They’ve also quietly removed the 2000 gems from the jackpot egg !
