This week we've been wrangling things.
SAS: Zombie Assault 4 things. Bloons Monkey City things. Website things. Even other thing things. Things are more or less under control now.
Contested Territory Relaunch
The start of the week saw the return of Contested Territory in Bloons Monkey City. It got off to a good start, but we soon started seeing territories becoming unclaimed and unclaimable. We've pushed a few updates out over the last couple of days to get that back under control, and it looks like the latest version, only hours ago, will stop the continuing problems. Your time captured from earlier may not be showing up as it should but any capture time going forward should now be saved properly.
A Zombie Seesaw
SAS4 has had updates, featuring changes to balance and premium additions. We're keeping a close eye on discussions about these changes, as well as data like win/loss rates to see how the game in general is affected. At the moment we're balancing the game with the "non-beta" version being the end goal, so often these changes will force you to adapt your play style. Specifically in regards to changes to a Skill, we have heard you asking for a free Skill Reset and we've been discussing the best way to deal with Skill changes. It may end up being a free reset, though adding that into the game, making sure there's no exploits etc. means it's not just a switch to flip on our end.
Keep posting your thoughts and discussing the possibilities of SAS4 in the future. Though we don't often post directly to suggestions, we read them as much as we can and appreciate you taking the time to tell us your ideas, whether it's carefully mathed suggestions or something that just sounds plain awesome.
Questions from the Comments:
Impoppable mode for BTD5 Web?
Impoppable Mode (and other mobile things) is something we would like to add, though adding it in takes valuable time. Features in the mobile version need to be coded separately for the web version (and vice versa).
In CT, will we be facing the same 5 cities every time, or will it change every week?
You'll most likely have a new group each week. It's unlikely you'll recognise a city, but it is a possibility.
Will there be more updates to MvM?
Yep! The original Contested Territory update came with a small change to stop Honor from being lost at a rate higher than it could be earned from the same person, but bigger changes are planned that will encourage participation in MvM
MOAB health in BMC? DDT Speed?
All MOAB-class bloons (besides past round 30 in CT) have 66% health. The DDT is as fast as a pink bloon.
After round 30 in Contested Territory, MOAB-class health and all bloon speed starts increasing at a steady rate.
Got a question? Leave it in the comments, and tune in next week to see what we have to say, even if it's just a bunch of gibberish!

New clan name for us? 13. Really? We're called 13.
Impoppable Mode on the Flash version! If that comes out, I can't wait to see how much Ap you could get ;)
Some suggestions about SAS4: - Make the avatars more distinguishable in MP, e.g. give them different colors. - Besides the number of killed enemies, also give the damage delivered by a player at the end of a match (just like in SAS3). I think this value does more accurately represent the performance of a player. - My level 20 heavy has a HIKS S300. I really love this weapon. But in comparison to the other weapons i have found until now, it seems to be too powerful. - Killing a boss respectively killing a type of zombie for the first time could be rewarded with extra xp. This could be indicated by some kind of audio-visual effect.
bloon battles , ijust played all of my games and could make it to like round 10 i know i didnt see any lead. its been sped up or something and to hard please look into it when you can , thanks
Could you revert BTDB to the old version? This update just plain sucks (except the new map), and it feels like you've created a whole new game. I can't get up my usual towers fast enough, and I always die to regrow ceramics.
for the 5th time a question :P do you have any info about bloons monkey city as a app or when it will be ready?
Maybe it has alredy been asked for before but - a kind of 'player rating' in SAS4 would be cool. Something like a kills/death ratio would help to as.sess somebody's skills in multiplayer matches. This simple ratio could be displayed along with the other data of players' statistics. I often meet other players who run into zombie crowds like mad (SPOILER ALERT: They die immediately) and, on death, start chatting something like "Help me plz". LOL - wtf? ;-) A kills/death ratio would help to recognize these funny guys instantly. Oh, and PLEASE deactivate this automatic censoring of chats. There are so many words that might carry profanity that I even can't write as.sess properly (see above) as it will prevent the message from being saved... Every now and then I write something totally harmless that will be shown as ****-****!- --> making other users think I might be swearing although I don't.
It would be fun if we got more CTs on desert tracks, because no super monkeys means no long laggy rounds after 100. And besides (for those who always complain), no need to whine about it being too hard, I just got round 90: http://prntscr.com/3y8xi7
@Linkx1234 SAME!!
What is going on with Bloons TD Battles?!?!?!?! It's sped up to the point you cant do anything. By round 7, even on levels like the mine, you don't have time to boost your money. Its ridiculous! Also, every time I play there is no consistency with when the game or a round starts. Sometimes round two will start at 22 sec, another time 17 sec. Why is that? But tonight round 2 starts at 14 seconds!!!
