Time cheat not working (crystal event) (F2P)

So yeah, I’ve done the time glitch a couple of times now for the crystal events to get to about 800 golems so I could get and level up the mushroom shield. Unkowingly, I advanced to silver league which I later figured was worse since golems actually get stronger but whatever.
The last two events it stopped working after a few cycles of dying, exiting the game window, forwarding about 1 hour on the clock, going back in and waiting for golems to spawn on the map, and the second that happened I exited again and set the time back to normal, but for some reason, it stopped working and now it doesn’t spawn any golems no matter how much time I forward it. Could it be that it is patched? Are you guys facing the same problem?

The more I think about it...

​

Devour Idle feels like it was designed by an AI.

- There’s an upgrade that literally nukes the an island. Really all the islands, eventually... For 24 hours. You roll through once, wipe everything with a x5 boost, and then the game basically tells you “cool, don’t come back until tomorrow.” An idle game that actively kicks you out.

- When you clear a level, you get a medal that gives you bonus stats… but only for that exact level you just finished. Congrats, you’re now slightly better at content you never need to touch again. (I actually seriously want an answer as to why I would want this middle if anybody can help me out. That'd be great.)

- The main questline is a clown show: a woman slowly turning to stone begs you to get a potion from the mines. To even enter the mine, you have to do a 9-kill boss chain. Then the guy at the mine sends you to another mine for a light. Another multi-quest chain. Then another mine for a gas mask. Another chain. By the time you’re done doing errands across three different mines, she’s still a statue and the actual “potion” part isn’t even in the game yet.

- The exact same game is reskinned as “Butcher Hero” (or whatever) where you’re basically a Jason-style zombie butcher. Same maps, same stone lady, same quests, just a different outfit. You’re replaying the same nonsense as a different flavor of idiot.

- None of this makes sense with who you are. You’re a slime in one game and a zombie butcher in the other… doing fetch quests, running errands, and helping random NPCs instead of just eating the world. Why is the murder blob doing customer service?

- And then there’s the monetization: souls come in the usual rarities, but the top-tier Chaotic Soul is only available from the shop. It’s labeled like a “Soul Pass,” but it’s not a pass at all. It’s ONE Chaotic Soul for $30. You don’t get one every week, you get the privilege of buying another single soul next week for another $30. If you kept up with it, you’re looking at something like $120 a month for one stat-stick at a time in a game that barely lets you play more than a few minutes a day.

Put all that together and you’ve got an idle game where a slime/zombie is grinding errands, the levels reward you for things you already did, the game tells you to stop playing for a full day, and the shop is trying to sell you a $30 soul every week. It’s addictive, but in the most diabolically stupid way possible.

Beginner Questions re: soul tree

As I've learnt from this subreddit, beginners should focus on upgrades that help farm souls as it gets exponentially difficult to farm enough souls for soul tree upgrades as we progress in the game.

I've unlocked the boss tower, but haven't unlocked geodes yet. I'm half way through p2 of the soul tree. Can people answer a few questions:

  1. How far should I progress in boss tower before soul tree p5? [I read that we get legendary drops by some upgrade in soul tree p5 so we shouldn't clear out the boss tower. ]

  2. Should I save up on certain souls for future upgrades?

  3. Are there any upgrades that aren't worth it?

Suggestions??

Hello. I’ve only been playing for about 3 days now. What’s the best strategy for beating this >>Dodged >> Dodged pain in the ____? I enjoy the game but the progression seems really slow. Thank you.

Issuessssss!! HELP!

  1. Is anybody else facing this issue where the geodes are not generating. I get notification on my phone as geodes are full, come collect! But when I open the game, the geode count is 0 and the times show 1hr 55min and looks like the enchantment stone is also not being generated

  2. How effective is the Golden spikes shield? When using this, the enemies deflect a certain amount of attack. So with these defects, is it still worth using it?

Serious: Is the early game about running around and killing the same 100 enemies?

I have been playing for two days and am slooooowly leveling up but really just run between 3 rooms, kill everything, and wait 8 hours for it to happen again. Is that the game? Am I missing something? I am getting stronger and progressing, but it seems a lot slower than my attention span, perhaps?

Crystal Event tip for beginners

Don't upgrade, even to silver league, unless your stats are really good or you've decided to beat 800-1200 golems (only 110-125 golems is likely for F2P players). I had earlier decided not to but only did it so I could post about the pros and cons.

I dunno why they made lv15 boss the threshold for league progression when lv 16 boss was still impossible to beat (you can forget about lv 20)

And the next day you start from lv1-20 in the next league. So stats wise, it's a really really bad deal. If it were up to me I would only allow players to enter the next league if they can beat the lv 20 boss

Earlier I could beat lv15 boss. Now I'm not sure if I can beat lv11 boss. You can compare the rewards, it isn't worth the league progression.

Pros

  1. Golem stats don't increase if you go up a league.

  2. Rewards are slightly better (but not enough to justify missing out on 4 tiers of rewards)

Con

  1. Boss stats increase significantly.

  2. Can't go down a league so I'm at silver till I reach Gold.

  3. If I progress to the next island, the golem and boss stats are scaled to match the difficulty of the toughest island. So now I'm afraid to progress in the game

Totally New Player

So, I’ve had the game downloaded for quite some time but I have so many games that I haven’t given it any attention until now. I literally just opened it minutes ago. Is there no tutorial at all or have I just not gone far enough to get anything explained to me yet? Lol. I’d love to hear from people who have been playing a while. Is there anything you wished you’d known before you started? Are there any red flags? (I know I’ve heard a decent bit of negativity regarding purchases. I don’t buy anything in games until I’ve been playing for a decent amount of time and it’s clear to me that I will be continuing to do so but any info is still welcomed). If there’s anything you think I should know I would be very grateful for every bit of information. Thank you! 💜

Is there a way to transfer my Devour account to Butcher?

As Butcher is getting more attention than Devour, I am affraid that at some point in time, developers will cut off Devour. Butcher already has the 2nd largest income in role playing games. As they are exactly the same game, is there a way to transfer my account from Devour to Butcher?
