    Yeah, guys, see? From the beta testers own mouth. And for those who doubt, squarezero is a tester. Look at the other aralon threads

    I managed to get past the garden maze scene fine, but the game crashes everytime when I try to go through the North Gate via Cold Sand Hold. Anyone have any advice?

    I was stuck at the garden maze a number times and finally gave up and joined another guild. I'll be pissed if I get stuck on one of the main quests.

    Its a shame that such a great game has to be plagued by large bugs.

    the guild quests are not part of the main storyline - you don't need them to finish the game - and yes the bugfix update is in review now - fixes that one.

    The thing about it, the garden maze bug is actually a tiny bug (as in, very easy to fix).

    Glad you guys are listening and fixing our problems. Any chance that the updates will improve the draw in?

    BTW Great game! I am having a blast with it. I definitely think this is the RPG that all others will have to live up to. I don't see anything coming close to this anytime soon.

    Jailbreaking Bug....Theory one

    Think about this

    All those having the character crash could all be telling the truth

    - the person who originally cracked the game could have had the bug
    - by cracking the game you are duplicating that same bug for everyone else i.e
    the jailbreaker
    - as there are only 2 or 3 easily available copies of this cracked app only one of them downloadable through **********, it is fair to say that many people are complaining about this bug because they downloaded that specific cracked version. The people who downloaded it legally could also be a victim of said bug

    Theory 2 coming next....

    Does upgrading your fire summon do anything?... I don't notice any big differences.

    Does the upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 fix the cold sand hold exit crash glitch?

    Jail breaking is completely legal. Installing cracked apps from whatever your preferred method is, is very illegal.

    Anyone whose game crashes at the character selection screen downloaded most unique's crack. Simple as that there's no alternative explanation for it. None of the purchased versions have that problem and only pirates are complanning about it.

    Well that's because I have a jailbroken iPod and a non-jailbroken iPod I test these thing all the time I'm just saying it could be a little unfair. I'm not on anyones side. Besides you can't disprove this theory without evidence

    For the record I have bought it - level 30 Mage and I have had only 3 or 4 small bugs. Namely walking through walls

    Even with the problems, this game is amazing. It's like having a mini single-player version of Wow in your pocket.

    I've played about four hours now and am up to level 10. I'm doing all the side quests that I can find and really enjoying myself. I like the vibe of the game and the way it really does have an open-world feel, and the quests have some nice variety.

    Some bugs:

    :: I went to the options screen and when I came back, my henchman had disappeared. I realise he's a mercenary, but I was only gone for a minute.

    :: Add me to those who've had the corrupt save bug. I came back into the game after a death and the screen was dimmed. There was no way to click on anything. I ended up having to quit the game, start again, and load an older save. I'm so glad I read this thread about saving in multiple slots or I would've had to go back to the beginning.

    :: The quest in the Red Lion Inn with Ian and the other dude over the amethyst. After you agree to ambush Ian, if you go upstairs when they're fighting but don't manage to click on the other dude before he dies, the quest just seems to end. There's no way to try again. Even cancelling the quest doesn't reset it.

    :: Every time you kill a monster with a henchman, the henchman becomes the default selection. Since there appears to be no way to select bodies apart from proximity, I end up doing a little three-steps-away-two-steps-back dance to try to select the bodies instead. Having to do it after every battle becomes very old very fast. I suppose this might not be a bug, per se, but it's awfully annoying.

    :: The henchman also has a tendency in third-person view of looming up in front of the camera and blocking the screen.

    I'm playing version 2.0 on a 3gs with the latest iOS.

    So far, the biggest disappointment is that playing a rogue basically feels like playing a vulnerable warrior. I've just gotten Backstab, which should help matters, but even then that's only a fight-starting skill. Thigh Cut is is not very rogue-like at all. So 90% of every fight is just mash-mash-mash on the attack key. I love rogue/thief/assassin classes in these kinds of games, and hope it starts to feel a bit more roguey as the game progresses.

    Cheers.
