Why do many JToH players quit the game? [SAD AND HONEST TRUTH] 

Hello, Retired jtoh player here. The community has it's fair share of good and bad. But there is too much controversy going on jtoh back then. I missed the classic styled towers, forgotten ridge doesn't feel classic. Modern towers starts to get boring everytime. But it is fun to play jtoh back then. But for now, I'll just focus on my mental health and sanity.

I’ve been a JToH player for about 2.5 years now (1.5 year since I took a 1 year JToH break to focus on other games). It’s been a fun experience and I look forward to seeing the new content ahead.

I’m still playing this game. It’s still the way I felt it used to be; the cool time of 2018, 2019, 2020, It was my favourite game during the pandemic. I’m never gonna give it up. Even though people may hate me for my choices; I don’t care. I’m who I am. And, I’m staying that way. I’ve beaten a hefty 105 towers. And, I’m continuing. Also, I think that Gammator will take the throne after juke. I hope he’s well prepared to make this game a better one.

I think its because the game is too focused on extremely hard obbies, and thats literally all the you do in the game, like nothing else to do just beat hard jumps over and over again. My friends and I are working on a fangame and it has a whole storyline planned, we might even make a season pass/battlepass for exclusive limiteds in events, and more. The storyline is basically like reading a story, its gonna be kinda like Piggy where theres cutscenes and all those stuff. Having these cool features gives a reward for completing stuff and not like JToH where you just get +1 tower point and thats it. (most of the time)

It seems the big reason here is the modern towers I get that. I joined in 2020 after seeing a Mathfacter video on ToAH, the thanksgiving event tower. It looked fun, so I tried the game. I loved the classic feel, which I don’t think enough games have anymore. As I progressed (especially through the Zones), I noticed the towers were harder and more strange in terms of mechanics. Its really hard for me to get past Zone 5 currently, but I still play to see what else the game has to offer. I love towers with a classic feel and look because the modern ones seem to try too hard making cool mechanics and COs. I think the standards have to take a step back, because right now, modern towers are a huge issue. The mysterious feel has washed away by now, but I still love the game because it is one of few hard games on roblox and is still quite fun for me. Addressing the hard difficulty barrier, I think that not many new players know about SoLW in forgotten ridge, which, imo, is low hard and anyone who has beaten ToM in ring 1 can do it. Addressing the too much grinding issue, the only way I can think of to fix this would be for soul to have less punishment, as thats a big reason for more grinding. This however, would create an issue in itself-playing the same gameplay for a long time over a safety net would get really boring fast.

Recently ive been playing tiered obbies because they provide a shorter and more punishing challenge. They dont have many of the modern jtoh issues.

I still play JToH a lot, but sometimes it gets boring. I remember being new to the game and playing Tower of Another Beginning in zone 1. It was probably my favorite tower. And it's still probably my favorite tower. I was really sad when they removed ToAB. Almost made me quit the game for the THIRD TIME.

I started playing obbies (Tower of Hell) in around October 2018. I played for about 11 months and came across JToH. I went into the game and tried all the cool towers and enjoyed it. My skill boost through Tower of Hell was kind of helpful. I played and played, my hardest tower before lockdown was ToKY. In lockdown, I beat so many towers. I went from 9 towers to 62 towers by October 2020. And then I went onto playing MM2 for a while. Around Jan 2021 when lockdown struck again, I played JToH and got to 65 towers by April, showing my downfall. At this time I played games like MM2, Rocket League, COD and more. Around August 2021 I played for a week and didn’t beat anything. After that I was playing other games, here comes my long break. Since I used to always fortnite back in the day and found out there was a new chapter I played it. Now all this break is because of my lack of skill and not having cool areas unlocked to try new things. Overall, I came back to JToH around July 2022 and played from 65 towers. I have 82 towers No and beat ToTS on Sunday and bring it today, I’m grinding ToTF

when I was grinding ToTH, I got a period that demotivated me like loop falling 9 outside

i remember when zone 4 came out i tried to reach zone 4 s requirement and play those towers it was fun but now i beat every tower i can beat and i dont want to waste time on those long towers citadel and then when zone 7 came out i just vm all non sc non citadel tower and then i dont know what i am doing in this game.

I started playing in September 2018. Made no progress at all but improved my obbying skills significantly. After completing ToH that was it, and I quit for over a year. Came back late 2019 and made more progress, but with coil. In October of 2020, I made the account I use for JToH today, Omitke (a f2p account). Beat my first Soul crushing and worked up to ToIM a few months ago. The reason why I quit recently is because of demotivation in playing and building. I got the builder role in the official Discord with help from a friend but that was it. I don’t feel rewarded beating hard towers anymore and I don’t enjoy it. Maybe I’ll come back some day but building standards, parts of the community are not making that a reasonable decision for me. - Alefen

I used to make videos on the game might’ve seen one of ‘‘em cause they all did really well and I was gaining subs rapidly but the more videos I made the less fun I had making them, I’ve been playing since 2019 and would play and go every now and then but in recent times the game hasn’t been fun and obbies in general I don’t really enjoy so I just left without a trace idk

What’s the tower your playing at the background? (At the beginning)

Obbies are legit a drug, you think you’ve quit for good then you come back and get addicted again.

True, I quit after I beat BK in October 2021 and got a lot happier just not playing the game.

I am a new player to this game and I am stuck reaching ring 3.I tried SoLW and I was very motivated since my pb was floor 4,but when I reached the end,disaster struck upon me.THE GODDAMN TROLL MADE ME FALL ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR 1 and that completely sucked up my mental health.I quit.The reason why most new players leave Jtoh is because they think they are good and ragequit or the developers are evil enough to put a goddamn troll on the last fricking floor.So,I think trolls and just time-consuming difficulty progression is the reason why most new players including me quit jtoh and some players just losing motivation because of the towers having random traps that break the players heart.

I started playing JToH in 2020, and I have been playing the game for two years already. I was thinking of quitting the game because I could not beat any more towers since basically everything is a roadblock.

I think the main issue here is that people blow through everything really quickly and then run out of things to do since the game doesn't update that quickly. One thing I really hate about players is that they call things like newer zones and such "wastes of time" or just negative things really. The only reason it feels like a waste of time is because you play through the game, get caught up with whatever area the world is up to at the time, go beat harder and harder towers awaiting the release, and then when the area releases, you're already better than most of the towers there and it ends up feeling like a chore. In hindsight, easier towers always feel boring because you can beat them easily. Also, world 2 tends to get the short end of the stick because most people focus on world 1 since ring 1 is way more likely than not the first area you'll enter in the game. People continue the game there, progress in the rings, get to like rem skill and then actually remember zones are a thing and ends up feeling like a waste of time trying to unlock the later zones. A perfect example of this I can think of is ToJ. By the time you reach zone 7, there's a good chance you're gonna have at least a few scs beaten so naturally ToJ will feel like a waste of time since it's only medium and because of this, nobody plays it. I feel like this is really unfair because I think ToJ is a great tower and I really liked playing through it. There's also the thing where people say "it's just gonna be the same as the last area" which is just so untrue. People just assume that because of what PA did wrong (all towers feeling the same) and that's stupid because that was one area and the staff picked up on that and never did it again. I seriously love zone 7 and it may be one of if not my favorite area in the whole game, I think the staff did an incredible job with the lobby and tower picks (except for ToWS and ToSaPS but i digress). I get that some people just prefer harder towers and that's perfectly fine, but I just really hate when people degrade areas for having easier towers that are supposedly a "waste of time". TL;DR: stop degrading later areas for having easier towers and stop assuming they'll just be the same as the last area cause it's not true at all.

I know that it's 7 months but i quit this game like a year ago and i started to play it at like 2019. The main reason I quit it was modernism and very laggy areas (z4+), but also the game got very boring for grinding and grinding towers. For now I am not planning to get back to the jtoh community, but we will see in future. (IK THAT NO ONE CARE BUT K)

I quit once when the first area of the game i played was paradise atoll, i did rejoin like a year later though

Ty for using my tower for backround footage lol. (The first one)

the issue is that there arent that many classic towers. A lot of FR towers don’t even feel classic, the only ones that feel classic is ToJGF, ToII and SoC. Anything else just doesn’t have that atmosphere. When you get to later rings or zones, Classic towers just suddenly fade from existence. I joined around October 2020 , so I have only been here for 2 years. Seriously, JToH needs to make more classic towers.

i feel like ppl quit because of their update schedule. Jtoh updates like 3 times a year, and honestly the average jtoh player can get an area done (excluding sc) in a week. Once everyones done, they have no reason to play, it explains why jtoh gets like 2k players when an update releases and then goes back down to 500 once a week or two passes.

My main problem with the game is that it's genuinely getting too hard. Right now the game is just focused on adding more difficult zones, which makes me only play the game for a couple of days and then just forget about it after. I quit, because I seriously noticed how the game affected my mental health, the constant pressure of you losing your entire progress if you fall once is just painful. I did manage to beat some insane difficulty towers, but now that I get annoyed easily if I fail, I don't think I can really get better. Although, I don't really care since I'm now trying to find more fun games. Got more into horror games lately, I think you should check out some of them. Yes, they are scary, but I would rather get jumped by a creepy monster than to face the same shit all over again. Also I will give credit to FE2 for making me better at obbies in the 1st place, started playing it at like 2019. After a year I played some difficulty chart obbies and got even better. Basically JToH didn't make much of a skill difference for me, it's not a bad game, but it can SERIOUSLY affect your mental health. I don't think I gotta say this, but remember DO NOT play it, if you really feel demotivated or the stress makes you uncomfortable. Trust me, it's for the better.

Mine says you need to play the original game to restore your data

Hopefully somebody makes a fangame with classic towers.

Dang, I was working on a video like this. Got to scrap it.

I started playing JToH back in late 2020, i found the game very interesting and fun. But after awhile, once you've made a good amount of progress it starts to become boring, i mean VERY boring. I noticed now that the towers are becoming too hard for my skill, plus very laggy for my device. That made me stop playing jtoh, as the good old quality towers were becoming less popular of a tower option other than more modern towers, that focus on new mechanics, and personally i HATE it. As of right now, i've quitted playing for who knows how long its gonna be. Demotivating, yes. Boring? definitely. Lack of content? sure. I also wanna say that (from what i experienced) i get very easily frustrated when i fail the most simplest of things in towers, sure i should've taken a break from the game, but what about towers i havent completed that i do want to complete? Now that i think of it, my decision of quitting was worth it. I'm able to play other games and not just all day jtoh grinding towers. My progression mid-way was also becoming slow, due to how limited the content is and how many of that content i can actually play. Overall, the game sucks now. Cant forget to mention how laggy the game is!

as a jtoh newbie who didn’t still beat a challenging+ i sonetimes find some towers ripetitive after alot of try, i really want to do toie, but floor 1 and 2 are becoming ripetititive now, and yeah, you are right about the barrier thing, we should add an easy tower in ring 2, and complete tgi, and then go to ss, this is my opinion

I joined around January of 2020 after seeing Koneko's videos. I was a smidge younger, playing on my Xbox, loopfailing floor 1 of ToK. It was cool. I enjoyed this game because it had a charm to it. A special atmosphere. Not knowing what the harder towers held in the higher floors, there was a sense of mystery, and it kept my attention. Tower of Killjoys was my... 7th tower? It was my first hard tower. All I know was that one became my favorite, and unfortunately what followed was it stayed my favorite. The game peaked at ToK bruh. I didn't enjoy anything more than that. ToK had that "special atmosphere" and anything else that coulda been like that was too far out of my skill level or capacity as a console player. Once I got a laptop in the summer of 2021, I soon learned how much I really just hated the community and how everything I liked was pretty much never going to be put in JToH again. Tower of Versatility came close, I really liked that, but I don't think we're getting another Forgotten Ridge. I just don't enjoy anything that has an atmosphere I dislike. Idk why. As far as I'm concerned, none of the new content has the feel that brought me into that game. Therefore... I kinda ghost-quit. I still join it every now and then, but I don't want to heavily grind anything there. All I really want to do now is focus on my own game.

I quit for like a year then recently im starting to get back into jtoh

You forgot to mention about the FPS unlocker though.

they probably had other stuff to do like in hospital, taking care of baby or they think the game is too easy (eos these days)

I have not played jtoh in 3 or 5 years but I lost all of the progress and when I try to repeat the towers it kicks me out FOR ANTI CHEAT just for skipping 20 mins

I lose interest of the game a little is because I’m out of towers to do

In my opinion, jtoh doesn’t have cool designs at the first rings, the better designs are at the back. For me, I just want to play jtoh because of its cool design not the really hard obbies. Then I realized there are requirements to each ring so im forced to do the boring towers

I left due to the bad unbalanced difficulties and becuase of lag, they should fix it imo

i quit cause it takes so much consistency and practice but in the end you'll fall for the dumbest of reasons the game is amazing the difficulty makes it great but all the consistency, practice and everything gives me no space for real life things

1. Old players want to play more classic towers (like me. Im not even a old player i started november 2021) and they want to have more than 10+ rings cuz they are super fun. Nowadays zones arent exciting as rings were. Rings had more punishing towers and they were faster and now zones have just a 1 hour tower and its super dumb. Someday if ring 10 or world 3 come out it would 75% boost the player counter

I might quit jtoh for my mental health and sanity. Im getting so bored of the same old towers that I grind (example; todc) and I am not having fun anymore. So I most likely will quit.

Seeing this video in 2023,they won’t be fixing problems they have (still making zone 8 before silent abyss,not adding easier towers to world 1 etc.) so this is not a good sign to JToH. IMO (for real),JToH will reach no attention to new roblox players in at least 2025 or most 2030 and would turn back to low popularity,just like in 2018.It is so sad to learn the truth about JToH,though.

the main reason is probably because of long towers and people are actually getting really good quickly so they finish all towers and just quit

whats the name of the tower at the very beginning of the video

5 words: no classic towers to play

this is due to lack of skill, you see, classic towers are good in gameplay, its not bad and its platform spam. however modern towers are the other way around, they added more variety of jumps while people don't have the skill to progress into further zones.

music used?

I'll still play Towers of showers even if I'm the only one

I think main reason is just theres no clasic towers.This problem can be solved Just Make more classic towers AND NO im not talking about making zone 8 fully classic im just asking to make subrealms like forgotten ridge. Or make two parts in zone 9 (One part is modern towers and other part is classic towers they should be same number and nobody probably get angry) And if they make classic towers more the new areas will release faster so update problem will be solved too.Also I think there should be classic events if they doesnt do the things i said.BUT NO do not add classic towers to monthly challange just add them in events (changing the theme) or add them in new zone (Or subrealm in great inferno) Monthly challange system is really bad too like imagine you make a tower 3 Months working just to make it go whitelist THEN they make it monthly tower and your tower just gone.Anyways main reason is simply no classic towers like WHY and another reason is simply theres so much CO and Design like why not making a tower thats mainly purist and NOT DESIGN OVER GP.thats all i can say

2020 was not the peak of jtoh, 2019 or 2018 was 100%

HOW AREU GUYS PLAYING JTOH. IM STILL IN THE RECOVERY REALM

Another reason is that their pc is too slow for the game

1. FPS cap (I’m serious, I have so much more fun with 144 fps then 60 since it makes the game way less choppy for me and actually somewhat playable. Why didn’t they just add an optional mode to add an fps cap for EOs???) 2. Lack of new content - self explanatory 3. Burn out 4. Boredom 5. The game just sucks nowadays ima be honest

Cscd all jumps is fun

2 words: MORE VARIETY.

Because the game gets boring once you're skilled enough, the hardest tower that's not pom, (not canon so it doesn't count) is tocp and that's just easy gameplay for 20 minutes. It doesn't boost your skill in the way that tiered obbies do, to prove this, I know someone who has beaten lots of sc's and has beaten tocp and they tried spleen once and couldn't get past the first jump after trying for 10 minutes.

Seems like people played the game WAY TOO MUCH during lockdown. I'm not at all surprised people who have been playing hours every day since 2019 are getting bored. I can't play any game for that long without losing interest. Doesn't make it the game's fault, though.

I believe alot of players quit because, well, jtoh is a looong grindy game that has alot of failing and redoing. Only certain people will like this, this is the reason I don't actually play play jtoh much. It's just to punishing and grindy.

This game genuinely ruined my life. I originally played ToH, and eventually found this game, JToH. It was very fun to play, until I was grinding ToISC. The tower 100% ruined my life. I notice that I get angry very easily now. I eventually quit the game and now I feel…better? I can’t describe this feeling. The community was way too toxic and the game itself got very boring. This comment will be shorter than others, but thank you for reading it.

banana quitting wasn’t recent, it was over 16 months ago

Don't be pulling out Mediocre Commentaries like that, you'll make me work faster towards my greatest creations.

I quit bc of lag :/

Also,the game is sooo laggy for people with lower end devices

Because the game is too dang difficult

I think we need new gameplay, mechanics, and client objects tbh

u forgot about when the easiest tower in ring 2 was ToOH, that tower was TRASH arguably even worse than ToHS

wow ok

It gets Boring because People Just wait for months until a zone releases and then they clear up the zone in an instant. Zones are getting more complex and it takes longer and longer for them to release. And after gaining skill to an extent, the game gets more strategical and less uninteresting.

I think they quit because they quit

because tower of traps is so bad and as soon as they play it they never play jtoh again

jtoh’s sc gameplay is basic and bland now. wish the game wasnt creativity over gp.

Why did I quit? because I finnaly realised I was Torturing myself, for 5 seconds of enjoyment, so I can soon Torture myself more in the future, this game shouldn't be a game to be addicted on or even should be played, what a good waste of my time to achieve literally nothing, I BEAT 4 REMS? I GET NOTHING??????~ I BEAT 300 TERRIFYINGS? YOU GET NOTHING, BUT MORE HOLES IN YOUR SOUL, its a horrible game and a insanity nightmare, its a loophole of pain, so bland towers

I dont like modern towers they are BORING

hot take: people are qutting because the game is bad

Becausexitxgets borjng

first (yes no one cares and im not asking for pin)

Lost interest
