Making the speed of the game faster by using speedhack. Although it would would likely lag, but it would speed things up.

vinster...
in case you haven't noticed, we have soo much lag that increasing the frame rate...would not speed up gameplay much, and would, in fact, be harmful to our playing style.
50-100 R/O/Y traps (or R/O/anything) at max firerate will cause an awfull lot of lag on anything other than a supercomputer.
no. We like to slow things down a bit, so we can speed up our supergemming. (For those who have speedhack, that is; I do not.)

Aearch on youtube for speedhack, you'll probably find something or other.

Karsten,

I've played on that link enough now to find it's +/-s. I like it more than the feed for your reasons (especially the lean forward and squint factor/it's easier to read specs hidden under effects) but it seems to do it's order of operations differently. Mana/shots/gems instead of shots/gems/mana. I'm still getting used to when I can release 'shift' but I'll get used to it.

Fun vid. But the guy isn't a player. What else could explain why he didn't just anger one wave to 1000 monsters instead of calling 100 waves for 1000 unangered? And then use the second anger for as many waves as his computer or patience let him? Fun to watch though.

Conner,

aaarrrggh! There's a conspiracy afoot against us. Alignment of the stars? Misdeeds in prior life? Karma? I'm going to help some old ladies cross the street, say a kind word to my neighbor, and donate all my money to charity today.

I'm also restarting my game 8 because I really didn't like my start and I have some ideas that might get me through faster and get my 10t. It involves pre-building my anger gems very early and my foundation gems for super gemming early and rely on them for population control until I need them as well as simplifying my manafarm for less lag and an idea (untested) for streamlining dmg production and I'm premapping all the non giant superanger levels and an angering modification that works on paper. Is that a run on sentence?

Fractal,

Do you know for sure that there are 510 lvls in endurance? If so the hps would be way above the quadrillion mark. Hmmmm... Maybe after GoE. Which I WILL finish this time now that my karma is realigned.

Hippyman,

I'll take a bunch of pictures of my start and put them in your comments so I don't clutter the thread.

Not as sure as we all are that the final level has 228 waves, but quite content with my level of certainty-I'm not testing it on my computer, it's just not cut out for that level of abuse. (4000-5000 monsters would probably cause my browser to lock up without minimizing).

no go right ahead and post, your start doesnt blow my mind but the speed of a start as good as mine does, i take 40 huors you take 10 to get around the same restult so by all means post 10 pics if u have to

Yea, post the pics here so we can all learn.

Interesting thought. Can we post comparative stats for computer performance? does anyone know of something like Windows Performance index that can run on Vista/XP/Win 7 and we can all use?

wow picture a comp designed for gemcraft, like get it on a full screen thingy and have loads of memory ram and speed with no memory messages like munch and no automatic updates, and give it one of those things where if the power goes off it can run for 1-6 hours off a battery

ya, my stepdads comp is basically designed for every worst-case scenario.

i tried gemcraft on his comp for an hour, and lets say that 500+ monsters and it still was goin full speed.

he's a gamer like me and so he custom designed the specs of that beast

lol, yea, building your own computer...

you'll definitely need speedhack to slow it down if you make it powerfull enough...though I bet you'll still be able to make it lag at some point.
