And bro got replaced with intermediate

Golden mode made progression just right but now its like "molten pretty easy, now lets try fallen" and the boss just has like 2x the health

Maybe the devs will have Golden Mode come back as an event. A separate mode, like Badlands II, or Polluted wasteland. You get the point.

INTERMEDIATE IS HERE AND HE EVEN HAS 80K HP so uh yeah and they're even based on unique things like regen and how golden had explosion immunity and they have more so yeah

If Golden mode ever gets put back into tds I think they should add enemies that are based on the golden skins. For an example, the golden scout would shoot 2 towers and stun them as an ability. Or they could have golden pyromancer be able to burn towers around him which would temporarily make the towers have a firerate penalty or something. Things like these would be cool things to see in golden mode. Great video tho.

Just remember, there was 4 modes before but fallen never existed, it was an extreme mode that had all 3 bosses in one match but remember, this is 2019, we didn’t have gold skins, dj or accelerator I will forever miss that mode

If Golden mode returns, I think it would be more likely to come back as one of the special modes. For example, Pizza Party and Polluted Wasteland 2 Golden mode returning as a special mode will either counter its flaws or completely make it disappear. It could have unique enemies like a polluted wasteland, or it could be like Pizza Party and Badlands 2, which still have most of the enemies but the atmosphere and the enemies that come from the map outshining. As far as I know, there haven’t been any arguments or even drama around Pizza Party or Badlands about the enemies being similar to fallen enemies. Another changing Golden mode to a special mode will just make the problem of Golden mode not being necessary between Molten and Fallen.

I as one of the people who played from 2019 - 2020 before a short hiatus during hardcore. I LOVED this mode, everything about the boss, style, and balancing of the mode. It was set perfectly between molten and Fallen, and was always my go to mode. It had the perfect amount of coins and exp for grinding, while not being too stressful. Back when Commando was busted, I would farm it daily with John, Outlaws and Commander spam. The price change during 2020 was a pretty huge issue for most, but I never really ran into that many problems with it. I really wish it would make a comeback somehow, as lots of people along side me enjoyed this mode. Like everything else in TDS currently, it just needs a couple rebalances and it’ll be good as new. Hell, they could even make a new start with it. As they mentioned the several bugs with Gold Titan’s animations. As long as we get those shiny boys back, I will happy. Though I fear it won’t ever happen due to gilded path solidifying it’s death.

As an og I remember when me and my friends would grind on golden mode when fallen use to be “impossible”, times have certainly change.(also they robbed us of the platinum skins)

dont forget INSANE mode

i miss Golden Titan, Chained Bosses, and 24 Karats. If you go onto gilded path map in current time you will see Goldens and Golden Titans dead across the track.

And some days ago while am wrinting this we got a leak that the normal modes are getting a rework! pretty cool will be mabye special enemies for the mode each

Its cool seeing a new perspective.

Interesting how it’s viewed was golden and normal mode reusing enemies, when I viewed it as Normal and Golden introducing enemies, while Molten and Fallen built off them and made them more difficult, kinda made it a pattern of 2 with 2 difficulties.

Ive been playing tds since 2019 and I want to put my own opinion in this, Golden mode in my opinion around the spring update was actually harder than fallen due to having less money while having the same amount of shield enemies which was a actual decent roadblock in golden due to less money a swell as explosive towers not being really wanted to be used due to gold being explosive resistant so they were actually the hardest part of the game mode if someone didn't have military base or just a lot of mini's cause most people just used ranger around the time templar came out.

I really hope the "new mode" on the roadmap they posted on their discord is a rework of golden mode even tho it won't be

i remember the og times on tds the best tower ranger and john and shot gun and cowboy man this brings back so many memories including the golden boss

as someone who joined in tds 2019 I can say that golden mode was at its PEAK during area 51 when everyone hopped into mega elevators and waited a long time to reach the final waves since below keeps adding more waves for some reason, after the mega update a lot had changed since commando got nerfed, many new stuff and old stuff gone, but you had a new gamemode that would eventually replace golden mode soon. fallen mode I believe changed the way people played the game since it was locked at 40 waves and people had a reason to prefer fallen over golden mode soon. I'm not sure if golden mode would return but I predict that fallen mode would be replaced like golden mode soon. used to be called insane mode but you know what I mean

really im just hoping we get a throwback to golden mode in the new difficulty (especially if its gonna be chaos mode it would make a bit of sense)

I believe that ez mode should be deleted, while golden mode returns like literally nobody plays ez mode unless they're a beginner or want the medal But yes golden towers need rebalancing, and i agree with SmellyGamerChair, golden towers in golden mode as enemies would be cool

MY man sunken has done it again with another banger of a video! I don't even play tds or know anything about it but the video is still fire and enjoyable

6:47 | The developers still have the models lol. Gold Titan received a new model in the map because the old model looks pretty bad by modern standards, and the creator of the map (Who I believe is Adversary), most likely wanted to remodel Gold Titan to both fit with the new gold material and overall look nicer.

since all modes are getting reworks now, after molten and fallen get one it could make a gap for the return of golden mode

paradoxum games genuinely tweaking when any type of mode is getting very popular and fun or making that certain fun mode have some actual good changes

i used to grind golden with my brother,it was till it was removed that we did fallen and then stopped playing with each other

WOW. You are 1000% the most underrated TDS yt out there. The editing and proposal of this video is just amazing. Bro will over throw propellars sooner than later.

the first time i played tds that was in my xbox one the first macth that i won as golden and i still remember that the map was the og polluted wasteland

next question: frozen mode (and the difficulties having all bosses to the chosen mode) back when?

I putting my hopes of Golden Titan’s return as a mini boss in the Hidden Wave if _thats_ ever going to be remade.

tds needs more things that make you use different types of towers. the second accel was added, all the balance went away and the game turned into a progression game.

The golden titan was my favorite boss for its unique design. I was so confused when it suddenly disappeared

Its a shame , because not only is the design of the golden boss a super cool design I just love, but I struggle a lot with fallen but find molten mode too easy. They could've reworked it a lot instead of outright removing it. Edit: Heck yeah, intermediate!!!! Now I can enjoy the game in peace =)

Well it true that people don’t do normal mode that much. But I if the developers are going to keep it. Then maybe they should make it a bit easier then molten mode. Or they should buff molten mode a bit so it can be a little challenging then normal mode. But it would be cool if they add back golden mode.

3:34 bro really tricked me with that discord join sound

Okay just to clarify I'm aware that this video is 2 months old I definitely think it would be fun and interesting if it came back I've never played it but it definitely seems interesting enough but given that we had krampus's revenge I feel like we could have an event relating towards golden mode I think that would be interesting or a cameo or another cameo or an explanation of why the golden Titan died with his minions

I did like 5 maps in fallen, but didn't even tried normal fr

its not coming back its like forgotten games the devs say that they will be working on it but in the end you get nothing i would love too see this mode come back as me and other new players haven’t played it yet and would like too have something new added too the main game instead of events which

they should add it back and thx for putting my video inside (i was the cashier avatar)

in the old times it was also not normal mode, not molten mode neither fallen mode and rather was Beginner mode, Hard mode, Insane mode, Impossible mode.

I remember golden mode I was a beta player and was really sad when it was removed

I remember this topic before. Every time I bring it up only and barely 25% of people said that Golden mode (Or let shorten it by GM) had a purpose and the 75% said that golden mode was useless. Like in modern day TDS, yes, it’s useless but that was when GM still existed.

i wonder if golden mode would still be in the game does that replace the fallen sword master in hardcore or just stays the same?

I want it back like a event like he has a glow up and have insane abilities

A true lecture on what golden mode is to noob players while interesting is veterans! Great vid!

1:35 i think u forgot funny rpg man but lets be honest cant blame you there for forgetting

I really want golden mode to return I really like the concept of the boss plus it would have a huge player growth and you make tons of events anyways it’s a win win situation

Nah if they bring back golden it should be like a event or like a exclusive mode like badlands II, pizza party, or polluted waste lands II,and the trailer for it should be the golden boss and his minions standing up from the gilded path map and getting revenge

Honestly the overhaul update made me take a massive break from the game and when I came back I only stayed for about a month and a half. The removal of golden mode contributed to me leaving the game. The new and improved version was not fun for me either. I literally just got my first golden tower (golden cowboy) just for it to be nerfed and in my eyes trash compared to the old one. I also liked using pursuit.Commodo nerf was bad too

I didnt play tds for like a year and a half when I picked up the game again I noticed something was missing and then I came across this video nostalgia hit me I miss golden mode man I really do I wish it wasnt removed… :(

sunken remember when i joined your channel when you have i think 200 subscribers?

I remember I was seeing golden mode but I wasn’t played it because I was new.

Here’s the thing. If you put molten as the new “Beginner” mode then it will have the same fate as normal mode

makes perfect sense due to the fact that fallens kept getting explosion immunity added and removed and think thats the "balancing nightmare" goldens could make a comeback in chaos mode due to the fact that the main gimmick was that there was tons of enemies at once and explosion immunity would make a cool immunity

I only played Golden 4 Times And I Hope It Comes Back As Badlands Polluted Wastelands Permanent Event

till this day i do not know why the hell boss weapon doesn’t kill

So nostalgic 😢

I hate when people say tds developers are lazy they aren't it's because roblox aren't funding them the right amount to make updates so it leads to updates getting delayed

Golden mode (and most of the enemies) still technically exist but can only be spawned by admin commands (and also gilded path).

I know want to hear how this would be since normal has been reworked.

i miss golden and frozen mode

Wouldn't it be neat if there was a whole event where the golden titan resurrected?

I wonder if intermediate mode was a overhaul of golden mode

I mean maybe they can add like a golden titan tower to make up for it?

The thing that annoys me so much is that molten is so easy, solo, duo, whatever, but if you just wanna do something a little more difficult and rewarding, the enemies are straight up 2x faster, 1.5x health and the boss being super fast and having OP abilities...

that chaos mode that was supposed to be harder than fallen is now intermediate kinda sad in my opinion, the difficulty looks nice but plays kinda badly and is also probably gonna get skipped because everyone is used to molten to fallen

7:05 and now its possible to beat intermediate with 2 towers

I still miss it :(

who let bro become a judge and cook

Golden was original since it came out before fallen or back then when it was first out it was called insane mode

Here is a theory: golden mode will get a rerun with it coming back because gilded path has the gold enemy’s so they will come back in a event like something called “sweet sweet golden revenge”

TDS pre hardcore is the best era of the game. Especially after that halloween update sticking around for half a year, then the devs reselling toxic gunner multiple times back to back

Bro I thought the next video was my court cass

Miss old tds now its all about getting 5000 cookies around the map for rewards

3:39 actually thats not true. Fallen was after golden mode as seen in old tds. Golden was hard mode basically. So the enemies must have not been recycled but some were added when fallen mode was added.

1:45 explosive towers were litterally one of the best and vital for beating fallen mode because of templar what do you mean

It would be fun if golden mode returned as an event “The Golden Titan returns”

Enter intermediate mode: barley a difference between it and molten apart from the -10 waves and the molten coins nerf

I wish they will do the event about golden boss revenge

i hated golden mode because it was like fallen basically but gave sm less money but i realise why people played it cause the enemies were nice

anyone remember the frost (i don't remember what it was called but i know there was an ice guy as the final boss) mode?

golden mode will never be forgotten by ogs for it will always have a place in our hearts

they should bring back a new golden mode but more improved with stronger enemies than intermediate

they changed golden into intermediate mode but the boss will spawn at wave 30

Here's the sad thing I never got to play golden mode ever in my life and I really want to play it :(

I miss it because Molten is too easy but I can’t solo fallen so this would help a lot

Gold mode may return in more recent years Such as now. In 2024. There is the symbol in the beaten maps thingy showing the badges and i saw the gold badge in all of them.

If anything the modes need a revamp theyre too outdated and need to be focused on at some point

they just needed to put a little more work into the mode

If they add golden mode back,maybe they should add a midas-like enemy for the last wave that temporarily turns towers weapons into gold,which means they can't use it for a bit,thats just my idea tho, pretty mid

I think that they should at least put golden back in. A speacial map like pizza party, nuclear wasteland, and badlands.

golden mode should come back similarly to hardcore now, like for people above lvl 150 like an extremely difficult mode that can feature golden and lead enemies it would be a great adition and maybe that golden titan can now be somethin like "Awakened Golden titan" with like 3M health on a 50 wave mode made for very experienced people, lets be real whats the point of leveling up past 100 now.. there is nothing new to see or to grind for..

Hers my idea on how they add golden mode they buff fallen king to 200k health then buff gold titan to 150k then change the golden mode enemies to be less like fallen mode

You should do old insane mode next tbh

they really doubled down on not bringing back golden with intermediate

I loved Golden mode back in the day due to the fact that my friends and I couldn’t beat fallen, but it was too easy to beat Molten.

he doesn't know there would be a compleete rework to this in 3 month after this video...

Bro turned into a zombie patient 💀

How can you say most of the enemies are taken from fallen mode when golden mode was created before fallen even existed

I think all the modes should stay, there is 0 reason to delete something from the game, even if it has flaws its better than nothing. also I restarted playing this game like a couple months ago, and I wasn't able to beat fallen solo consistently until recently when I got accel. I was able to beat it once with minigun and ranger, but I tried that again and I noticed its not just place the towers and win, you need to use abilities correctly and take advantage of targeting. people say that golden would be too easy because of accel, but you are thinking of it like if It was the hardest gamemode, its supposed to be behind fallen in difficulty, a point where you don't have accel, so its meant for beginners that have beaten molten before and want a harder challenge. plus, you aren't forced to bring accel, you are the one choosing to bring it, so you can't say that fallen mode is easy when you bring the one tower that has the highest DPS in the game

Actually there where 5 you could say because before it was normal motlen fallen but not really and hidden mode which most people forgot about in 2019 hidden was not like it was in 2021 it was a full on mode but most people didnt play because of how hard it was
