In comparison to the last few weeks of non-stop, action packed game stuff, this week probably looks fairly ordinary. We've had a few updates but not much content. The fun times aren't over though (would they ever be, really?), we've got more stuff to come out in the following weeks. There's been a bit of pressure building up and we're nearly ready to turn the valve and release whatever a valve would release.
A bit of a Battles update!
BTD Battles web got a small update this week to change the initial income for defend mode from 50 to 60 (with a brief foray into 75 which turned out to be too easy for you cats). You'll get another battleground very soon too!, though no balance changes have been put into effect due to the extreme busy-ness with SAS4 and BMC. There's been interest mostly around Ice Towers being too powerful, so feel free to state or re-state your thoughts about changes for that tower.
Questions from the Comments:
Could you add the "Recent Posts" feature on the forums again?
The functionality the Recent Posts box provided is something I really want back, so we'll get something like it soon hopefully.
What's up with [some bug that happened to me]? When will it be fixed?
Often, when a bug affects something in your game, you will need to email support@ninjakiwi.com to get it fixed up. Some generic bugs can fix everyone at once, but if something has been around for a while, it's usually a good idea to get in contact with us in case it's something specific to your account.
How much longer do you think it will be for the first person to get the Monkey City King achievement legitimately?
I'm really not sure :)
Favourite candy?
I'd probably go with M&Ms or Maltesers. Jaffa Cakes are also pretty good.
Are you going to add other avatars for levels 1 - 40?
Could happen, yeah.
Do you guys get Ninja Kiwi coins for free?
Yep, though I rarely use them on my proper data. Just for testing stuff.
When's the next Clan Challenge?
No date planned at this point, unfortunately. What would you like to see?
What did everyone dress up as for Halloween?
We had:
There won't be a blog post next week, so make sure you leave some truly radical questions for the week after.

Question to the Blog Post: "Are there in the near future any plans to make the Monkey Money more useful or at least better spendable?
mymax162, what black box are you talking about? I suppose something in BMC? hmmmm...
Where's that new blog post, hm? ;)
Will the black box have anything special to it besides requiring a black key, or will it simply be a tier 9 box?
I think to nerf the ice tower, make it so that ice towers try to freeze frozen bloons, but it doesn't actually work. That would completely stop ices stalling.
Can you ask one of the programmers to move the defend button for btd battles online down a few pixels, i somehow end up playing defend accedently a few to many times and have ruined a decent wind streak because of not knowing what I am doing in defend mode
@ngue02 They reverted to the BTD5 method of Ice Shards when they introduced the second city.
I have an idea to make the ice tower less OP! remember in BTD3 (not BTD5) how the ice ball (now called ice tower) had an longer delay so the ice ball pretty much freezes each bloon once, but no more than that? Also, snap freeze only popped some bloons instead of every bloon? And ice tower took up more space than the tack shooter? At that time, the 2/1 tack shooter was more powerful than the 2/1 ice ball? Though I guess those changes were only done because people were saying the ice tower was too weak. you better make it weak again. WHY DOES NK SAY I'M LEVEL 6?!?!?
I think to nerf ice, it should have a freeze/pop limit of 15. Ice shards would be like Bloons Monkey City Ice Shards, and the Arctic Wind is fine as it is. Maybe the 0-4 ice ability should not be able to freeze whites and zebras? I know about how ice was before it got buffed, when it could not freeze frozen bloons, but that would make them TOO bad.
