Is this roguelike worth it?

Does it still get content? Like is this dlc good?

So we know how the Bloonchipper was too OP, but here's some honest idea/s for it.

1. For Big Bloons
   Big MOAB class bloons should have a temporary 'stun effect' for the Chipper, which is an Overheat effect, where the bigger the bloon, the longer the effect.

For example, MOABs are able to be sucked up, but the Chipper cannot be used for at least 1-3 seconds.

BFBs are longer, like 3-5 seconds, and when it is finished, the chipper cannot be used for a short amount of time.

ZOMGs do the same, making the chipper unusable for 5-7 seconds, but they do not take as much damage as the BFBs or MOABs. They also make the chipper useless for around 7 seconds.

If there are BADs, the sucking time is 7-10 seconds, and unusability is 10-14 seconds.

This should also be an ability instead of automatic
;)

just some ideas

Questions from the comments:

On the map Moon Landing, were the bloons already there when the monkeys got there, or did they follow the monkeys somehow?
The Bloons invaded, but luckily, the monkeys were already hard at work getting a moon base set up!

Where's Earthwarden, Firewarden and Waterwarden?
Firewardens are designated monkeys in offices that help out in an emergency! ;) No word on the other wardens yet!

What foods or drinks do Skywarden’s like to prepare? Does anything special grow up in the mountains or by their sacred tree?
They like all sorts, but lots of leafy greens and berries! Especially Storm berries, known to grow around the sacred tree, and feel kind of like Pop Rocks when you bite them!

Who would win in an archery competition between the Skywardens and Quincy?
They have yet to compete, but we like to think that even though one may be better than the other at certain events, they will eventually come out tied!

Has the mermonkey ever tried singing in a performance? It looks like it would be great at opera!
They have phenomenal voices for opera! Some of the greatest opera stars are Mermonkeys!

With new monkey knowledge likely coming in v58; Are there any plans to raise the maximum level or create new achievements to help gain MK points?
You will have to wait and see in a future, looking forward or update notes! :)

Petition for horse pet for Desperado!
Hell yeah! You got my vote!

What was the craziest adventure Quincy ever went on?
This one time, he and a few other heroes all got together to go investigate a Bloon disturbance at an abandoned building!

Do Kaiju exist in the BTD universe?
Absolutely! Kajiu Pat does us proud!

Have the Skywardens considered using flaming arrows 
While they are not the biggest fans of fire, they do understand it can be used as much for life and rebirth as it is for insane Bloon Popping power! They still prefer to stick to other elements.

Have a great weekend and happy gaming!

Joining parties with your friends works, but multiplayer never loads up properly and matches do not start. Even without parties, searching for players simply does not work, half the time it just crashes the game!

So, are y'all at Ninja Kiwi gonna fix the multiplayer on the demo, or..

I've been seeing many 'When is Bloons Monkey City 2 coming?' posts across Reddit, so here's some of my ideas.

1. Importing your previous City
   The first thing this game could have is the ability to import your previous city from BMC1 into BMC2.
2. A World Map
   Instead of empty land stretching across the horizon, you should be able to find other people's cities if you conquer enough tiles.
3. Different Contested Territory
   The old Contested Territory was cool, but my idea is that it should be a battle between cities, wherein you capture tiles from other cities.
4. Private World
   Your main city should be in a 'private server' type map where all you do is conquer tiles, upgrade, and all the previous things from BMC1.
5. Beginning City
   In Contested Territory, all players joining it will have their city reset to the default starting city, but it is not your main city you imported from BMC1. That is seperate.
6. Freeplay
   My Tracks back in BMC1 should have, in BMC2, Freeplay, just like in Bloons TD 6. You can test, send rounds, etc.
7. Heroes
   Yes, some of us want Heroes in BMC2, but it's just an idea.
8. Diplomacy
   If ever you meet someone's city in the World Map of Contested Territory, you could have the ability to ally with them, send monkeys to their territory, trade monkeys, etc.

I'm not sure if Ninja Kiwi have already explained this, but how good are TOUGH missions compared to normal? Like, would a Normal TOUGH Mission be smarter/better to do than a Hard Non-TOUGH one?

I thought I have a pretty good handle on these. Mortor with signal flare (removes regrow about 50% of the time iwth an upgrade), glue, bombs, etc. How are the damned things reproducing so fast that they overwhelm me consistently in contested territory and during player attacks. Even ice with shatter isn't enough sometimes. What's the proper strategy for dealing with this crud?

Skipping to fourth in line because the major Discord stuff and the Nintendo Switch edition KIND OF make sense (I still think a Nintendo Switch edition for the game you are literally playing is less important than advertising something like Bloons TD Battles 2, though) but how is the fourth most important thing just Monkey Money?

This makes sense to always have (maybe it should prioritize showing off new designs) but it doesn't really need to be this high. Arguably it can stay below Monkey Money since at least the Monkey Money sale is temporary.

Is this... really needed? For one thing it's barely even an advertisement. For another thing, that's a different section! In social! And it's always available! Advertising the Skywarden unlock pack would unironically make more sense, and that pack's knowledge is already very accessible because Skywarden's inclusion is just about impossible to ignore!

Zoomed out a little to demonstrate just how worthless this banner ad is. I mean, even the unique part of it could probably just be introduced as a header or footer to the \"Events\" tab in general, which already has indicators for standard trophies, team trophies, or a higher focus on insta-monkeys so you really just have to specify that the events give you Monkey Money as well.

Zoomed out some more to demonstrate that this one is also worthless.

...That's the end? THERE ISN'T EVEN A BLOONS TD BATTLES 2 ADVERT, THERE'S LITERALLY ZERO CROSS PROMOTION BUT THERE'S THREE BANNER ADS THAT ADVERTISE THE THINGS LITERALLY ABOVE THEM???

At the start of the year, Ninja Kiwi mentioned they were going to try harder with marketing. But in their biggest game they aren't even trying to advertise their other games right now. I think I MIGHT'VE seen Rose and Locket in a banner ad (honestly might just be thinking of Bloons TD Battles 2 which does this stuff much better btw even if the pop-up is slightly annoying) but why would it be gone right now? IN FAVOUR OF ODYSSEY EVENT BANNER AD? Just KEEP advertising it, keep it there! Advertise Bloons TD Battles 2 as well, doesn't even have to be about its most recent update it could just have a custom banner with all of the new stuff added since launch to hook people back in! Advertise Bloons Card Storm, it's better than advertising Contested Territory right below Contested Territory, maybe that game could end up revitalized! Advertise the UPCOMING Bloons Blitz, build up some hype for it in the most popular Bloons game so that it has more eyes on it when it formally launches! I get that cross-promotion is probably not ALWAYS out, but I think it should ALWAYS be in! Besides, last time I recall seeing a Bloons TD Battles 2 banner ad it was for a specific update but wasn't even for the most recent update at that time, Bloons Monkey City is able to keep its Bloons TD 6 adverts up to date but Bloons TD 6 is going to have a banner ad specifically for an older version of Bloons TD Battles 2 instead of the most recent one? I get that Battles 2's updates haven't been stellar lately (because NK Europe is not given enough resources to handle the many projects it's working on) which is why I also suggested that earlier idea of just having a general Bloons TD Battles 2 advertisement instead (although when 5.0 comes out with some major content? [a safe assumption since they only move the first version number with major changes] That should be #1. That should be the first thing people see when they open up this menu) but it should still get SOMETHING. Second biggest NK game, same general genre, but able to target different demographics to a degree. Honestly it deserves it to the extent that I think some cross-promotion CONTENT should be added. Main thing that would come to mind is if there was a quest where Agent Jericho talked in a dialogue bubble similar to characters in other quests, and he was training your Battles skills by sending Bloons at you for the quest and stealing some money occasionally, and then the end of the quest could just straight up advertise the Bloons TD Battles 2 game to you, similar to the Legends Previews.

I HOPE I can safely assume that they'll have their new paid Bloons game being announced soon (I'm starting to really assume it to be Bloons Monkey City 2 specifically, since they had lesser success with a non-tower defense Bloons game and with a non-Bloons game and Monkey City 2 is just a very safe Bloons Tower Defense play) be number one on these banner ads. Even when it's just announced but not launched, just hype people up for an upcoming game! They might have it more on their mind since this next game will be from the team of BCS (aka people from NK's bigger, government-funded main branch that works on Bloons TD 6 itself instead of the undersized NK Europe team that I really hope would be upsized) so that's a plus in likelihood at least?

I also wonder if there should be a smaller, square version of the rotating banner ads (without that annoying sound cue that plays when they swap) that appears as a signpost behind or to the side of the Social Monkeys that specifically advertises other NK projects with a priority on Bloons and especially Bloons TD (since there's more overlap in demographic with those games in particular). Bloons TD 5 did it to great success (That's where the signpost idea even comes from), Bloons TD Battles and Bloons Monkey City were able to become big. If NK did more cross promotion, then Bloons TD Battles 2 could be much bigger than it is now (not that it's as shrimpy as people suggest but I mean Bloons TD 6 numbers are just hard to live up to and Battles 2's launch numbers show how it had the potential to be so much bigger than it is now) and it could better assure that Bloons Monkey City 2 will be as big as they likely hope for it to be (even if, despite its popularity, BMC 1 kinda flopped, stopped certain types of updates very early on because it presumably wasn't as profitable as imagined despite its heavy microtransactions. All the more reason that it's good that the next NK game will be paid, or if we get Monkey City Legends instead that that will be a paid DLC).
