    Have you seen any changes in the balance of the game? Havent dig into this as I usually dont play fps on ios but it seems like a rather interesting game.

    Abuse traps.
    Abuse scoped shots.
    Get items that increase Crit Damage (not crit chance, but they help too)
    Headshots are guaranteed crits.

    Other aspects of a sniper should be more flexible. But with the nerf on the sniper, im not sure how it changed, so i cant comment on that one.

    Snipers were pretty powerful.

    So loot based games are my favorite types of games hands down. Whats weird is I cant bring myself to play this anymore, I got to like lv 9 a while ago and completely lost interest. :(

    Probably because there is no loot incentive to play. When the game drops nothing but gray and the occasional green weapon that is more times than not under your level, it leaves little in the way to put the carrot in front of the player. I've only ever gotten a blue or purple weapon by buying it and I don't believe that orange weapons even exist at this point since the drop range is so abysmal in this game... But hey, at least now the game drops more gray weapons than it used to!

    I already deleted this game a while back cuz i also lost all interest. What Freyr did in the "new" version just scared me away. The loot system is a mess as it is right now. But hey, u can just grind ur a$$ off or spending some real cash and then u can buy urself a blue weapon/gear/whatever.
    Look at the original Star Warfare: Black Dawn Thread and how i praised them for making one of the best FPS on iOS, imo.
    But now it's a grindfest and IAPfest and i'm definitely done with them.

    Anyone else notice that the free gems thing is not working? I just noticed that despite logging on and playing for the past few days and clicking the online hub, I have not received any gems... My count has stayed the same for the past few days now!

    You know you are right, even though its sad its true. Not like oranges and purples are dropping every where you look. Oh well I thought it was going to be my Borderlands fix.

    It did the same to me. I had to press the screen to "claim" the bonus. At least I think that's what did it

    I really thought they would have linked the app-id, so that the original updated to the new version. Strange.

    Sounds like Star Warfare. Put way too much time into that game, always saving for the magical weapon/armor set at the end of the rainbow. Damn shame. I would have payed more than 99 cents if this was a proper game, but no iaps for me.

    It isn't all that great. It's barely even an RPG. It's too limited. It actually kind of sucks; there isn't much variety.

    Up to level 18. On the last 'area', done the last mission. Hoping there would be some more missions appearing but nothing, no yellow ! at all on the map

    Looks like i've completed all the missions then. Has anyone else reached this point?

    Well worth the money, teaming up with people for missions made it much easier. Great little game, just thinking whether to delete it from my device (to free up 481mb).

    There are level 19 missions, and at least 1 level 20 I think.

    Ooooh i didn't realize there was an update which increased the drop rate and lowering prices. Well, okay i'll give it a try again!
    Hope it's better now.

    Is anyone having issues with online play? The game can not find rooms and can not create one. Before you ask this happens under wifi and wifi is working...

    Well got to level 19 and had some help with level 20 missions so I feel like I've completed it (as there weren't anymore missions). Had a great time playing it.

    Just picked this up (wasn't holding out, just a really crazy summer, with graduation, an out-of-state move, etc.), and I've got to admit, I'm glad I waited...

    Freyr uses an odd pricing model. Almost 200 Mithril for a full pack in a game that you're supposed to have paid for? Really? Come ON. I was leaving items behind after about the first 10 minutes of play. Not cool. :rolleyes:

    Oddly, I'll probably do what I did with SW:AI, and this is why I say "odd." I'll likely play it for a bit to see how ridiculous the paywalls are, discover they're not that bad in the end (per usual Freyr), and donate an IAP I absolutely don't need much later on as a "Thank you." for a decent product...

    They get their money in the end, but I do wish they would just choose premium or freemium from the start...
