An Introduction to Tower Defense Simulator and Discord

Before we get into the server specifics, let‘s briefly go over what Tower Defense Simulator and Discord are all about for any newbies reading this.

What is Tower Defense Simulator?

Tower Defense Simulator (or TDS for short) is one of the most popular tower defense games on Roblox. It was initially released in early 2019 by Planet3arth and has since amassed a staggering 1.8 billion visits!

The goal in TDS is to work with teammates to set up defenses and take on waves of zombies. There are dozens of unique towers you can place that shoot, smash, freeze, and burn the enemies. By killing zombies, you earn coins to upgrade your towers and purchase new ones.

The waves get harder and harder, culminating in intense boss battles against the likes of the Molten Boss and Fallen King. Along the way, you level up, unlock skins, play various modes like Hardcore, and ultimately beat as many levels as you can survive!

It‘s an incredibly fun and challenging co-op experience that keeps you coming back. But as you quickly learn, communication and teamwork are critical to succeeding in TDS.

What is Discord?

This is where Discord comes in! Discord is a free chatting app that lets communities come together through text, voice, and video. It was originally made for gamers but is now used by over 150 million users each month for all kinds of topics.

Discord servers are dedicated spaces focused around specific games like TDS. They contain tons of chat rooms and channels for different discussions. Discord is filled with cool features like roles, emojis, profile customization, and more.

It provides the perfect way for TDS players to hang out, chat about the game, team up, get help, and overall build an amazing gaming community.

Joining the TDS Discord Server

To join the official TDS Discord server, simply use this invite link: https://discord.com/invite/tds

I recommend joining directly on a desktop/laptop if possible rather than mobile, just so your first experience is optimal. Once you click the link, you‘ll have to accept the invite and verify your Roblox account.

This verification step is important to prevent raiding and ban evasion. You need to prove you actually play TDS on Roblox.

Verifying with RoVer

In the #verification-n-get-roles channel, you‘ll see instructions for verifying with RoVer. Essentially, you click the button that says "Verify Me" and allow it to sync up your Discord account with your Roblox profile.

RoVer verification button

Once successfully connected, you‘ll gain full access to the server! The verification usually only takes a few seconds.

Assigning Yourself Roles

Another important step once you join is assigning roles for yourself in the #roles channel. Roles allow you to add labels like your pronouns, region, tower preference, and more.

This helps people get to know you better on the server. To add a role, just click the corresponding emoji below the role name. Make sure to set your region so people know your timezone.

Some other optional roles you can pick include:

Pronouns
Tower/skin preferences
Casual/hardcore
New player
Looking for party (LFP)

Spending a few minutes to properly set up your profile with nicknames and roles helps you get integrated into the community faster.

Overview of Channels

Now that you‘re a verified member, it‘s time to explore the wide variety of text and voice channels on the TDS Discord server. Here‘s a quick overview:

This is the most important channel to follow as it contains latest codes, update notes directly from developers, beta testing opportunities, and more. Having it pinned ensures you never miss important news.

#challenge-run-chat

Get advice and share your experiences attempting creative challenge runs like solo fallen, no towers selling, no scouts, only emotes, and other fun rulesets.

#off-topic

Take a break from talking just TDS here. Have casual chats about your day, other hobbies, memes, or literally anything. Channel to just hang out and get to know other members.

Benefits and Key Features

Now that you have a lay of the land, what can you actually get out of joining this server as a TDS player? Here are some of the standout benefits and features:

Get Codes for Free Items

One of the best perks of the server is gaining instant access to codes for in-game rewards!

Whenever new TDS codes drop, they get posted in #game-announcements right away. You can quickly redeem them for free coins, gems, experience, and more! This channel is always buzzing whenever new codes release during updates.

Having a direct line to fresh codes that usually get used up fast is a huge bonus alone. But there are plenty more perks too:

Participate in Giveaways & Contests

The server hosts frequent giveaways and creative contests with prizes up for grabs.

There are regular role raffles where members with certain roles can win robux or discord nitro. For hitting milestones, they often do huge robux giveaways.

Contest-wise, you‘ll see build challenges, fan art contests around new skins, fastest molten solo competitions, and more. These events are fun ways to engage with the community.

Compete in Tournaments

For more competitive players, you can test your skills in the server‘s tournaments for bragging rights and robux prizes.

They host frequent 2v2 tournaments where you enter with a partner and see who can get farthest on various map difficulties and modes. Make sure to coordinate tower synergies and strategies closely with your partner.

Solo tournaments for skilled individual players are hosted too, like fastest molten solo contests. These tournaments offer great practice and you can meet other skilled players.

LFG Channels to Find Teammates

One of the hardest parts of TDS can be finding good teammates rather than relying on random public small servers.

But the Discord makes teaming up easy with LFG (looking for group) channels tailored to different experience levels and regions. You can quickly coordinate ideal tower loadouts and win more matches with communication.

The LFG channels give TDS a more social co-op experience. Plus, you‘ll naturally make new Discord friends by playing regularly with the same people.

Learn Strategies from the Experts

With 470,000+ members, the server has no shortage of experienced TDS pros eager to share their knowledge.

The #towers-and-enemies channel in particular offers a treasure trove of in-depth tower placement tips, hidden pathing tricks, and loadout metas. You‘ll learn so much reading discussions and asking questions here.

Whether you need help beating Molten mode or want to optimize your Scouts on Crossroads, Discord veterans will guide you. Your skills will grow way faster.

No matter what major TDS news is happening, the Discord will keep you in the loop.

Whenever new codes, updates, skins, events, or announcements drop, Discord is the first place to know. It‘s the hub of the TDS community.

You‘ll never feel left out or behind again on the latest releases, meta changes, beta tests, and more. #game-announcements and #update-discussion channels have you covered.

One amazing part of the Discord is all the fan content created by the talented TDS community. In the #fan-creations channel, you‘ll find:

And much more! It‘s amazing seeing what fans produce. Make sure to also share your own creations and comment on others‘ work.

Developer Interaction

An awesome aspect about the Discord is the opportunity to interact directly with TDS developers and admins.

Rather than hoping your feedback gets seen, you can directly share suggestions in #feedback-and-suggestions and even vote on ideas. The devs actively participate in discussions and listen to the community‘s opinions.

You can also alert them quickly to any bugs or issues you encounter through the report channels. Or if you ever need help, you can @ the friendly mods.

Overall, it brings you closer than ever to the people behind Tower Defense Simulator.

Fun Community Activities

In addition to talking TDS strategy and game updates, the Discord also hosts fun community activities to bring members together:

Rules, Moderators, and Staying Positive

With well over 400k users, heavy moderation is needed to keep the server feeling safe and fun for everyone. Members are expected to follow the server rules and be respectful.

Moderators deal with punishments like mutes, kicks, and bans. Serious or repeated offenses lead to permanent bans.

Some key rules include:

No advertising other servers or selling accounts
No drama, provoking arguments, or raiding
Follow channel topics and don‘t troll

In your interactions, be helpful, friendly, and understanding. Avoid arguments if you receive a warning – mods are just enforcing rules. Instead, learn from it.
