New Bling Season - Collect awesome new seasonal cosmetics like the Dino DDT and Ski-daddle sell animation. - Flaunt the law with Cyber Quincy’s Cyber Crimes Showcase. - Get sneaky with Agent Jericho’s Spy Bot Showcase.
New First Time Player Experience - We’ve completely overhauled the first time play experience for new players as our stats showed that most new players were opting to skip the tutorial matches against T.D. in favour of diving right in to real games. - New players will be free to play how they want with less intrusive help messages that display only when needed. - There have been several UI improvements and clarifications to help players intuitively understand how to play. Check the General Changes section of the patch notes for more info. - Existing players who had not unlocked Gwendolin by completing the old tutorial can unlock her in the Heroes screen for free. The T.D. avatar and banner are no longer available but will return in a future update.
General Changes
Casual battles have been removed from Red Bloon Camp and the Ranked Battle button has been renamed to just “Battle”. As Red Bloon Camp players cannot lose trophies, there is no need for a low risk game mode. Casual games become available in Yellow Stadium.
Bling season quests that would be difficult or impossible to complete while in Red Bloon Camp, such as “Win 2 Casual Games”, will not roll until Yellow Stadium.
Wording on the event banner changed to make it clearer to new players when event games unlock.
A visual effect now plays over activated ability icons each time they become available to use.
Changed colour scheme of tower upgrade menu to match the rest of the game. Upgrades you can’t afford will now appear as grey buttons with red text.
There is a now a visual effect that plays over the bloon send buttons when pressed to make it clearer how they are affecting income.
There is now a visual effect on each income tick showing the cash earned.
Players no longer earn a medal at the end of a season if they did not play any ranked games during that season.
Balance Changes
Dart Monkey - Base: $200 -> $150 - x2x Very Quick Shots: $150 -> $100 - 3xx Spike-o-pult: $400 -> $450 - xx3 Crossbow: $475 -> $450 - We’ve made a few small price cuts to Dart Monkey’s early upgrades so that the tower can obtain greater relevance in the meta as a dominant early game tower.
Boomerang Monkey - xx5 MOAB Domination: special moab kylie deals 40 -> 50 damage to moab class - Boomerang Monkey lacks late game potential, with its tier 5s generally being regarded as on the weaker side. We’ve buffed up the MOAB Domination so that it can better deal with the beefy MOAB class bloons in the later rounds.
