i think there are more important tasks, than to change the icon (which is, i agree, could be better without background).
That's for sure, but after days and days of discussions about tweaks and bugs we can consider this argument like fresh air!
Speaking of changes in conversation, has anyone tried the Heavy Armaments skill with the Crusader? I've always been distracted by the other abilities...
I use the skill every once in a while. It's actually quite handy if you get yourself some plate/a tower shield. Also the Axe does some really substantial damage, and if you can get focused into it you'll be a killing machine.
Tried it once or twice when my knight found a plate /axe at a moderately early point. Gotta try it again when I finish my latest round with the wizard (my best run so far, 50k+, on the 4th dungeon, too afraid to continue at this point ).
Duh. Killed by Satan after the second scroll of fire. Wish I had a third one. Gonna try to get him tonight!
Let me get it straight... Leaderboards will be wiped with the next update and it has been submitted? Am I correct? I am dying to play but holding out for this...
So I ruined my old iPhone and replaced it with a 3GS. Pro tip: This game is far superior on a 3GS. The animation is way better and the loading times are way faster. Plus, the frame rate is way more smooth.
That sounds cool... makes me wanna get a 3gs rather than an ipad... then again, there's the 4g one coming out.... damn..
I just got my 3GS today and I love it. Everything runs and plays way smoother on it, especially 100 Rogues and Hero of Sparta. The difference is so huge it's like playing a new game. I think a 3GS is totally worth the money, and unless the 4G iPhone is literally ground-breaking, then you should probably get a 3GS ASAP.
I actually just beat Satan - the Unholy Fires scroll helps a lot. Sadly enough, the leaderboard says I was killed by Satan, and not the other way around Not to jump on the bandwagon, but its messed up to charge us early adopters of the game a full $5 if we end up being playtesters of a buggy, not-totally finished game.
You are correct! As far as info in some other locations goes, 1.0.2 was submitted a couple of days ago and so, depending on our favourite apple approval process, could be out soon
I agree with the black background for icon =] Also I found a rather game ruining bug where the character gets 1 damage every turn. Like poison but far more extreme and it can't be cured. It's happened to me about 3 times and he last time it stopped after I got hit by a rocket and ate a Heal Meal. Can anyone confirm?
That, my friend, is called starvation Don't forget to check your belly on the stats page! Which leads me to a hint I read somewhere else - if you have a heal meal, you can afford to starve yourself a fair bit, squeezing a few more steps out of your rogue before having to fill up. Awesome tip, whoever posted that
I have to say: I LOVE the sprite art in 100 Rogues except for that ugly genie boss. He doesn't seem to belong in the same game as the black bandits or the crusader's Whack of Glory animation as far as quality spritework goes. I hope the devs aren't too annoyed with our feedback at this point!
This is correct. 1.02 got submitted, and our beta testers have an ad-hoc version of it to test it out. The plan is, we can sneak in a fix if there's any glaring problems before Apple even starts to review it (it usually takes them 2-3 days). Hopefully, this process will result in much, much more reliable patches than 1.01. Anyway, I read all your posts regarding the icon, and personally I still think the white background was the right choice. The bag is meant to represent many things about the game - the mystery, the random chance, the windfalls & pitfalls, etc. And of course the @ symbol is there to pay homage to the creators of Rogue, as well as all the great roguelikes that followed. Overall, I still think this icon is great. I like that it isn't too busy. Some have said "add a sword, or a shield" or whatever, but I think adding even one more thing would busy it up and make it look like more App Store noise.
Ooo, it really is a pretty good skill isn't it! Just had a fully mastered +5 axe that got me all the way to Satan (where I misjudged my healing prowess vs unholy fires) Still, pretty awesome if you get the equipment. Thanks for the tips!
