    For some reason I can't watch the videos (the ones that give free mithril) anymore since yesterday. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Same here... I couldnt watch videos for 2 days now, and my free mithril from online resetted to 10. I just got 10 mithril for 2 straight days now which is a bad sign if things were changed regarding these.

    Yep same here

    I'm getting 'slightly' frustrated, i'm level 10 now so i've done a fair few missions but its annoying when you complete a mission you get XP/Gold but you dont seem to ever get any mitheril.

    And 'surprise surprise' you need mitheril for the 'big' items, eg to have extra slots, or to buy certain things.

    The paywall is getting to be a 'bit' frustrating, i do love the game but i'm finding it geared more and more towards making people pay for IAP's.

    In the old version you could watch a LOT of videos/download apps and get free mitheril. Here you can watch a few videos a day but its very eractic, it doesnt seem to work every day, only every few days etc.

    I feel if they tweaked the IAP's slightly it would be a great game but i'm tempted to stop playing soon as its just 'forcing' me to buy IAP's practically.

    Im currently level 17 and i do feel the sting in the last town. Enemies die until you basically run out of ammo (but i have a green Ammo Regen +2% chip which gets me through).

    Each enemy needs a clip and a half of shots from my strongest weapon (lv17 assault, 513 atk, crit dmg +14%). And sometimes even 2 clips. A shot from a shotgun-wielding enemy takes 3/4 of my shield away, meaning if there are other enemies i die if i stay more than 5 seconds in the open.

    It is starting to get a little frustrating for me too, but i was able to get through where you guys are at right now at least.

    Any tips ? Perhaps try some missions as multiplayer ?

    Like i say i'm level 10 but i'm regularly running out of ammo when i fight the enemy so i then keep dying, restarting etc etc.

    Agree with the comment below about the balancing. I was getting killed like anything by some level 10 enemies (when i was level 9), wasnt even close.

    I then finally get to level 10, go back to that level and defeat them easily. Needs a good bit of balancing at the moment

    this game just irritates the crap out of me and is most likely getting deleted soon...

    -there is no confirmation for resetting the shop which costs mithril, so if you accidentally click it, you're out that mithril
    -the damage scale is just absolutely ridiculous. i can do 5k crits to something 1 level below me, but an enemy 1 level higher than me but 3 levels higher than my weapon only takes 200 damage?
    -good lord the aiming...dead center on the body, but since the mobs name doesn't show up, it's a miss? but my headshot can be an inch to the right, but since the name happens to show up, it's a crit?
    -loot drops are terrible, so i need to buy stuff from the shop, but items in the shop that are even remotely useful cost 12-25k. good thing i'm getting 100 gold for every item i find.

    game needs a lot of balancing, it was fun to zip through the first 9 levels, but now i've just hit an annoying grindy brick wall and it's just not fun.

    Also why on earth isnt the quit button in the top right of the screen not bottom left where you need the space to move. At times its very frustrating

    But yeah agree with the balancing, needs adjusting

    Presume the price has been lowered a fraction.

    Its good you get 200 mitheril. But still worried about some of the other issues mentioned above

    I was on the fence about this since it came out and I'm glad I waited as by reading this forum it seems like its a freemium game with a price tag.
    Seems the norm that if there's multiple currency's in the game then it's probably going to go free.

    Frustrating thing is i think its a really good game, various missions (yeah a bit samey) but its a very cool 'homage' to Borderland type games. Plays well overall.

    But yeah its just the potential paywall, i'm sure the original version (i didnt play it for a while when they stopped it) wasnt this bad, this one seems pumped up with high prices for more weapon spaces, mission gold, hardly any mitheril etc.

    If theres an update where the prices are a bit more 'friendly' it'll be one of my favourite games.

    In my case, i already finished in this game everything that was in the original, which makes it well worth it. I got a code for it in advance, so i bought a $5 IAP to help the devs out. Totally worth it, and despite my struggle where im at right now (level 18 now) this game still gets my vote for game of the week... With LOE3 and Blockx3 really close behind it.

    Yeah, the original Version was so much more fun. The drop rates, difficulty and overall balance is so messed up now and that turns the game into a grindfest if u are not willing to throw in some real cash. And the worst thing about grinding now is that u won't be getting rewarded like in the org version where greens and blues dropping along your way. Now there are hardly any good drops around. Just crap u can sell for ~100 gold each...

    I'm level 6 and being asked to take out a level 20 Sebas. How do I do this?

    The mission is to find water (level 7) and the mission added the objective of taking out all enemies.

    You dont have to kill that level 20 boss, just the 'lower' enemies. Once you've killed them it'll say mission accomplished.

    Like you i thought 'are they crazy ?' but then realised i didnt have to kill him. Just kill the minions !

    See I have no problem spending a few bucks to support the devs and get a good item, but what pisses me off is tht good item is good for a level, maybe 2 before it turns into complete crap and it turns into a grindfest unless I'm wiling to spend even more.

    And correct me if I'm wrong, but even if I wear say a level 7 shield energy wise that's better than a level 9 shield, I take more damage wearing the level 7 shield...

    You get 5100 coins or so every 8 waves. Over time it can add up to quite a bit, but in the long haul, it's nothing. That's as far as I can get xD

    ^ The dev did mention in this thread, that the effect of the equips, become stronger the lower level the enemy is, and it becomes weaker the higher the enemy level is.

    Basically, you need to have equips as high levelled as your character is to deal the most damage, and mitigate the most damage.
