wait whos that

After around 4 years, lvl 250 with every tower (other than frost blaster and commando) i think i can safely call myself a stage 10. I went through a boredom phase for a while, but then i started doing squad games and helped lower level players. For me it brought fun back into tds, and that allowed me to finish my golden tower collection. It truly is worth it to grind for everything, as you can do whatever you want. Truly a tower defense simulator of all time.

I'm between a constant loop of category 9-2 and 9-3 -Play -Grind -Event -Grind event -Get everything new -Come back after a couple of months Rinse and repeat

There’s a secret stage 7.5 where they quickly get into your hardcore elevator and tell you to carry them.

Honestly after I don't honestly know how much I become mix of category 1 and 3 when reaching stage 9 never was strat maker cuz my monkey brain is too dump to come up with anything remacably normal and I'm would say I'm half of stage 10 I play TDS even if I got basically everything what can be (beside old events) and now just try to have fun but duo to even now people mostly play that and beggers or generaly low lv people I want to help tend to be super toxic so . . . I just leave them. But enough that this video was really good. I like the concept similar to SoundSmith TF2 stereotypes it made me chuckle first time just from the music and overal this video was really good. Wish you best luck with whatever you upload next man.

As a TDS OG release player I can assure everyone that there were zero beggars we were just like work together and its when sniper was good. Im a stage 9 bored and quitter TDS hasn't been fun for me since 2 years

I'd personally say I'm deep into stage 10. Probably like, 80% of my gameplay is just soloing and doing my own fun challenges which I rarely post on my youtube here (haven't touched it in a while), but occasionally I'll play a special gamemode or an event if one is happening, and sometimes even play with randoms. Some of them are intolerable and self-absorbed (till I place down a Slaughter Skin Warden) but most of my experiences with randoms are either fellow god-tier players who do similar things I do, or a

I actually skip phase 4 because I like soloing better(and I'm an introvert in tds)

im a mix of stage 9 from getting bored but also a mix of stage 10 because i love helping other people out and i really got nothing else to grind for or try and get, the only things i dont have are quickdraw, lost souls, commando, frost blaster, and swarmer, but i still love the game and love helping people out

Stage 8, very well made video!

3:10 that dialogue tho 💀

Started playing when Solar Eclipse came out, and rushed getting progressed and got to like lvl 60 in order to beat the event in time (And complete the pass). And I also got accel only a little while after the event ended. So then I went through the usual with getting to lvl 100, trying to beat hardcore, grinding in hardcore, grinding for G Crates, then... getting bored. And only coming back every time there's a new tower or season pass or event. *I'm around lvl 120 and definitely in Stage 9.* And then there's stage 11, and you can only reach that stage after getting to stage 10. And when you're at stage 11, you have a good chance at becoming a secret boss and rambling about random TDS crap

that piano music is engrained in my brain. great video funny man

yeah i was a quitter for awhile since i got pretty bored and it seemed like they were only putting skins in the game but i came back for the event and now play regularly quitting was also probably really healthy for me since i got to discover tower blitz, tower battles, pixel gun td, and many other games

Stage 4 is the definition of “No pain no gain”

Can you make a video addressing game sense or something please. :D

You forgot about the category 5: The one who only returns to tds when events start.

Good video I must say (nice gameplay back ground the the end I know the game but not the name)

As a lv 394 and a before stage 9 but now stage 10 type 1 it is actually fun to help out ppl tbh like rn I’m helping my cousins lv up in tds and get better and honestly if u have friends to play tds with u will never get bored of TD games

i got on stage 9 category 2. Now i got into the new stage, 11 where you just have fun watching tds go downhill on events and cash grabs

Holy that was very good I think I'm kinna of a grind with lvl 300...

stage 10 category 5 over here strugglong on act 2 of 2023's halloween event and i wanna tell ya'll something i am level 259 and i don't have accel nor engi and the only thing that brings me joy is reprimanding people for the most minimal of mistakes specially tower misplacement

6:03 Can we talk about the bacon literally ascending to heaven?

For me im stage 9 especially the grinder when a new event drops for those new towers in general then i quit tds until next event comes. Also i was a bit stage 10 before the hardcore update especially since i was enjoying the game a lot but and also i grind so much the game when there were those huge exploits especially the mili base glitch. It made the game so much funnier.

Im a mix of stage 8, stage 9 category 3, and stage 10 both sides, I dont have any Golden Skins yet I simultaneously grind for said gold skins while helping others do the same

W vid im at stage 9 category 1 tho i am hardly playing tds anymore and playing other games that arent roblox since the event is coming soon i will come back and play it again and stop playing it again unless another big update drops

I'd lie to consider myself at stage 10 already. I've been playing for almost 3 years but havent lost interest at all. I have had periods where i didnt play for a few weeks but i keep returning. I'm basically addicted to unlocking everything new when an update comes out.

I found TDS all the way back in 2019 when i was watching youtube. It was from a Pat & Crainer Video. I was lucky enough to get gladiator AND Commando! I'll miss the old TDS. Either way, I'm at stage 9, Category 2.

oh my god i just had an existential breakdown when i heard the og lobby music at the end

the music dude, i love it

Nice vid

Bro just reminded me that i played this for more than 2 years 💀 Im in stage 10 rn and im helping ppl whit hc or i just do solo hc (for some reason)

This really reminds me of those "10 stages of every tf2 character"

Bruh so true especially the stage 10 it depends if they know how to follow my commands things will go smooth while if they cant follow a single command or dumb af yea i wil go with the sec category

Still in the boredom phase… sometimes I feel like a gremlin waiting for tds events to grind skins and new towers

im a stage 9 player that pretty much only plays during events but now that necromancer is out, im back at stage 7. i wouldnt call myself an og player because i started at the end of halloween 2020 event

this brings me back to the days of "the ten stages of a [insert random tf2 class] main"

FINALLYYY WOOOOOOOOOOO (tf2 stages but tds)

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 video

I just got flashbacks of 10 stages of TF2 classes💀

as someone who went to those 10 stages since 2020 (I'm level 305 or smth), this is so true

I'm a stage 7 currently multitasking grinding Accelerator and trying to beat the halloween event (because it's surprisingly my 2nd event I experienced, the last event I experienced being duck hunt, the lord sinister halloween event I didn't get to play because of laggy ass device) I currently have 382 or 405 gems (haven't checked), I probably gonna get the tower when I'm in heaven

As a someone who plays on millitant reworks update(i think) im level 265(right now) this game give me a lot of pain and also a lot of joy at the same time,i love this game orignal concept,well at first i dont play tds for couple of month when i reach level 257,

I say I am a stage 8 because I only have 2 golden towers but sometimes I am a stage 9. Because the Halloween event came out I played tds daily grinding for pumpkins and jester, I have all the base game towers expect engineer and only elfcamp as event tower. Other than events I rarely touch tds and just play it if my friends are

lvl 257 and im on stage 9 and im just bored of the game though i come back to it sometimes and i played back in the old summer lobby where turret was sentry and golden cowboy was a W to solo fallen with

my stages of playing tds since 2019 were: randomly find the game be bad at the game play every once in a while, getting towers and finding a brain beat spring 2020 on easy and hard and then go adios come back at hardcore update and grind for golden crate in the most painful way possible get golden soldier (this skin was tied for the worst golden skin back then) mental crisis get level 100 beat badlands 1 do some other things until frost invasion i absolutely love toxic gunner become devastated when its nerfed solar eclipse comes around and i triumph every night except night 4 i stop being a wuss and grind for accel (by lose grinding why did i bring this upon myself) (also it was too late for eclipse accel) gradually get all of the golden crates grind for engi (it was siki strat but still better than lose grinding) finally get all golden towers a bunch of boring grinding until i hit level 300

currently at stage 8 lmao, i currently have gold mini, gold scout and gold soldier, and accel lmao.

As an Tds player that’s lvl 300+ and been playing for 4 years I can say this video is described perfectly

getting tf2 flashbacks. if you know, you know

as a grinder and a quitter since the sfoth event i can say that i quit the game and plays something else when i completed the entire event and come back when it updated

6:31 it looks like wolfenstein new order gameplay but it got an graphics update

The place "That there" and the "Place DJ now" person telling the lvl 300+ player who has done it longer than they have.

I'd say I'm a 9.5 Stage, I basically have all non event towers [except rocketeer for some reason] (I also only have the 5 most recent exclusive towers) and completed all coin skin crates including all 6 golden crates, I recently reached lvl 300 and get a boredom phase everytime i finished checking out any new content, though i have 3 goals that I slowly progress everytime i have motivation to play: getting a 1.0 win ratio, getting enough coins for the next skin crate release and always having enough gems for a new hardcore tower.

Stage 11: insanity

banger video

Outro gave me a load of nostalgia

i was at stage 6 for 2 entire years, and then escaped it when i got the determination to get accelerator

Wow I didn’t think this would spread outside of tf2

Stage 9 here, swap uncontrollably between categories Getting from 9 to 10 is basically trying to become a vastolorde as an adjuchas, you fail or achieve glory only a handful is capable of

Ah… I’m around stage 9 or stage 10, I’ve already got everything in the game and it’s been that way for years. I’ve had all golden skins ever since hardcore mode came out. However, there is only one thing left I have to do. Beating hardcore. I’ve been trying to beat hardcore for years but I only got to wave 25. I didn’t look up any strats, I didn’t really do anything. Like me trying to solo fallen after the overhaul update, it took me 2 entire years before I finally beat fallen solo again. Hardcore I don’t see me beating it any time soon. If you know any strats I can use to beat hardcore after over 3 years, let me know.

i skip a grw stages like stage 1,2,4 i star from stage 3 and now i am stage 10 i love being a good leader to my friends

I'm at the quitting category of Stage 9. I started TDS at 2020, and my experience of TDS was quite bliss. I was ignorant at the time, blissful. TDS was the first "tower defense" game I had ever discovered and I just was in this state of complete addiction until the Overhaul. I quit TDS temporarily because of the fact that Outlaw became Ranger (I loved outlaw) and that the game was so, so different. I came back around in the middle of the Halloween Event of 2020. I kept on grinding and grinding. Occasionally I would try getting Toxic Gunner but it was just.. hard to beat the event, so I gave up within a few tries. Eventually it was the Frost Invasion Event, and so I got hyped up. I worked day and night for Sledger, but I never really got an actual squad, just joined randoms, there was one time I got the Frost Spirit to only 100k HP, but we still died. The moments were glorious with desperation, rage, hope, I felt a hundred feelings in that round. Eventually the Frost Invasion Event ended to become the Solar Eclipse event. I got to Penumbras, but I died to it at just 10k HP, a very close round, and then it ended, and I mostly quit. I did get to see the Duck Hunt event, but only very minorly. I completely skipped Violent Night, I was focused on other games and I had forgot TDS, until now, where I haven't even defeated Act 1 because of my stupidity. I'm focusing on TDX, a brand new start. I will never forget TDS though. Those memories. I miss them.

4:27 this was me when my first gold tower was g mini-

I skipped stage 4 since me and my cousin played together on molten lol and im close to stage 10 but i didnt beat hardcore since i dont rlly need to sincei have all hardcore towers and im a chicken but rn i prob just gonna play the events, grind for skin crates, and get more gold crates

I played TDS since release but i usually play other games like BTD6 or tower blitz to, but whenever a good update drops i have to play it. Just for flex *cough cough* Lvl 398 all G skins Engi, Accel, Necromancer, all event towers, (other than frost blaster) and made my own hardcore strat 500+ gems per hour

Stage 10 I cried when I got g mini from my first g crate

Currently at stage 9, grinding for all the cosmetics in the game

I'm level 463 and have every tower besides the dev ones. I have (pretty much) every skin and emote and stuff like that. I am on stage 11 - serious problem with my brain

I’m stage 10. I don’t really get bored much as I took a long break during the Halloween 2020(lord sinister event idk). I like to help everyone but…nah I probably would carry people. I’m just here to help

This guy is getting 100k subscribers I CAN FEEL IT

I'm on stage 9 on category 1 and 3. I want to do challenges but I also want more golden skins. (and more regular skins)

so i’m kinda a og, i first started a little bit before the event with swarmer (i forgot what the event was called) i have 2 gold towers, i’m lvl over 150, BUT never played one round of hardcore and i have accel, engi, and necro yeah i think i spent way to much money on that game lol. and i have most event towers except some very very old towers

I’m at stage 9 because I now realize that I need to the conquer the genre of tower defense games.

im prolly a stage 10 i been playing it since release and have every single tower and am lvl 280 i am generally not that interested in the game and am usually bored but now i only play when there are events or new towers

5 years since i joined now and i have reached my goal in life the highest ever tds player i do be tanking the tank if i need

personally i actually skipped 3 4 and 5 because i usually ask my more advanced friends for advice and what to do and thats when i found strats and i kinds cheesed the game also im at stage 9 i quit tds (booo) because it was lacking new rewards and the game was just straight up too easy and it was tiring grindin for golden crates(to be exact i have 3) so yeah im a quitter and i want to play tds again but im on playstation now😭

Stage11: "..I have everything now, every single skin..every single emote..,towers.I feel empty and bored.."

after almost 1yr of playing i realised im actually better in tds if i use com and im lvl 274 and i at phase 10 type 2 bcuz pretty much i always command ppl to do things and im toxic amd pro but one thing idk is pretty much how to place com at the halloween act 3 event and thats it and im ao a good com chainer and bcuz i payed tds like at march i pretty much missed everything so now my only event tower is necro elf camp and jester but in theory if me and a yt fight in game of whos the best i, actually on par with them but i will still lose bcuz of them playinng tds longer than me and also bcuz theyve used computer more than me

I'm in the boredom stage where I just play It for the event then I go back to playing item asylum or some other randomiser game

stage 10 here, i first played tds when there was pvp mode but i only got to level 30 and then quit the game and came back like a year or 2 later on the toxic gunner event, I played a bit then quit bc event was too hard for me as a level 30, but when the Frost Invasion event came out thats when i started playing the game like crazy, it took me no time to get to level 100 and get accelerator, i got my first golden crate (gpyro which was completely useless at that time) and then stopped playing the game so much at around level 150, i came back for solar eclipse (The best freaking event i have ever played) and thats when i hit level 200, after solar eclipse ended game got kinda boring but i still played a few matches here and there but didnt actually level up much, then when duck hunt came out thats when i played the game the most, i got every single g tower in a period of around 1 month and a half (for anyone curious i got them in this order: Gpyro > Gsoldier > Gcrook > Gmini > G scout > G cowboy. I literally got the worst ones as my first 3 lol) and i also grinded for engineer which was worth it imo, i stopped playing around level 260, i came back for like the 5th time in the Violent Night event and didnt actually play that much, i reached level 280 and stopped playing again. When i heard that there was going to be another event related to the solar eclipse i got super excited because solar eclipse was the event that i enjoyed the most and to think there was going to be an event that brought back those memories gave me a lot of motivation to play the game. When act 1 came out i absolutely loved everything about it, The cutscenes, the voicelines, the map changing in the middle of the map, the backstory of umbra and penumbra, everything was absolutely perfect in my opinion and that only got me more excited for act 2 and act 3. When act 2 finally released i also liked it, altough i did dislike the fact that it only had 1 cutscene and also that it didnt really continue the story from act 1 but overall it was very good and i enjoyed it. After like 5 delays act 3 finally came out, i was extremely excited and immediately found a squad to play it, it started out wrong, i didnt like the fact that it was a defend the center gamemode but i didnt give it much thought and continued to examine the event, what i noticed was that there was a lot of reused enemies and only very few new ones, but once again i didnt give it much thought and was still excited, obviously the first match i lost at like wave 4 because well, its the first match you are obviously gonna lose, but then after a few matches the highest wave i got to was 10 so i watched eggrypted's stream to see how he was doing, i saw that he used the freezer glitch that perma freezed, so i tried that and was able to get to wave 14 and when i saw the hands i thought they were mini bosses and i was like "oh thats cool narrator turns bad, i wonder what wave will the final boss come out" if only i had known that those were actually the final bosses, obviously i didnt realize that until the next day because event was quite literally impossible on release, i played for hours and hours and always died to the hands, so i finally gave up at 2 am and went to sleep, the next day i wake up to people beating the event and obviously i just skipped to the end, and i was extremely disappointed to see that those hands which i got so close to killing so many times were actually the final boss, i lost a lot of motivation to play the event and just waited till it was nerfed. And here i am now being level 304 with basically every tower and having beat act 3 like 15 times, 2 of which were when the narrators top hat still had stock and i didnt get it because it was glitched, still havent been able to get any of the other ugcs after so many wins, im starting to think its impossible. Thank you for reading all of my TDS story lol

pretty cool

uhh when i reach stage 10 can there be a catagory 3? i would be in it because i get very mad over bad placements, then i apoligize for being mad and say it's ok.... so uhh yea

as my first begginings of frost invasion i admit i did a bit of event begging a bit i think.

stage 9 grinder been like that for a year now lmafo

i would say im either 10 or 9 category 1 cuz i have two accounts one is lvl 300 with all the gold skins and the event towers minus archer then my new main thats lvl 100 with all hardcore towers and a few event towers plus a couple gold skins

Stage 11: "what tf should my first be? "

I'm a level 180 something OG and I have vowed to never play TDS again. I won't specify why, but the last time I joined a server was about 3/4 of a year ago.

Most relatable video

I’m also a Stage 10 but I am a completionist. If there is an event tower on sale, I’m buying it if I don’t have it. No matter what it’s going in my inventory. Same with skins (other than deluxe booooo)

Bro fr hit an uno reverse in the last part

I'm stage 7 i think. Tds does get boring sometimes but a lot of events bring me back

welp i could go to stage 10 tbh but i'm stuck at stage 9 categorie 2 i decide to play tower blitz that i'm max or really really advance (recon base max both path)i also play tower battle i'm advance at it (i got zed but not the golden tower bcs i'm lazy to farm for it) and waiting for the new event to drop out like that i can just TRYHARD THE ENTIRE DAYS ON IT and finish the event and maybe got the event tower idk and waiting for tdx to ,well JOHN

after going through the boredom stage for half an year I can call myself a stage 10 tds player

what game is that at the end of the video

I'm at stage 5 as of writing this, i completed badlands II now.

i skipped alot of em, i only took that soldier is the best beginner tower, and grind. i got into level ten but i went back to level nine cuz tds nowadays are hard, and needs alot of grinding (i didn't took accelator cuz it's alot of grinding). hey atleast i got my own duck empire, except for engineer...

Stage 9 here too but i am actually have been one year stuck in stage 9

bro i got stuck on stage 9 and i got bored then went to btd6 and got all the paragons and the same cycle begins

mix of 9 and 10 bro i swear to god

I am stage 9 category 2 lol but sometime i just back and trying to get all skin or just back to carry ppl
