Same here, game crashes every time I start a game. And the treasure trove doesn't appear in the store. Some feedback: I think that the longer the games goes, the food that spawns should increase. I mean in higher rounds, larger food portions should spawn. The minimum should increase with the round. Especially in coliseum. Same with quest rewards, when I'm in round 14, getting 400$ and 200 XP (or is it the other way around?) doesn't help me all that much. Especially for the effort I put into completing that quest- in round 14 I'll have plenty of enemies to worry about. some of Hopper's abilities are underpowered: Faith, for starters. Gives too little HP too rarely to be useful. Even when maxed. Same with Miracle Worker, drops food too rarely to be good. I would also like an option to see my own high scores, not just globally. And last and most important- the job you're doing with adding content is AMAZING!!! All those heroes you add, past and future, is the BEST content updates anyone can hope for. Keep up the good work! Edit: Reseting the device seems to have solved the crashes and treasure trove not appearing. I use iPhone 3Gs. However, now every so often the game lags... freezes for a second and then continues with a burst of speed. Cost me some health lost
I disagree with that - the idea is that the game is supposed to become more difficult the longer you last...
Of course, but there are enough other factors that become harder the longer the game goes. Mainly, your enemies. Their numbers, their strength, and more powerful enemies appearing in later rounds. Also gold; at a high round the gold you gain from kills remains the same, it doesn't go higher, so you're underpowered compared to your enemies. I usually never last long enough as to get some abilities for my heroes that I really want, so it would be nice to be able to get there. All the fun in the game is fighting the enemy bugs and upgrading your heroes, so if you'd be able to do more of that, the more fun the game will be. But even if you're right, I definitely think it should spawn more food the longer you last in the coliseum. Even then the enemies would eventually kill you, but this will give you more of a fighting chance (esp. considering that some heroes aren't good against a certain type of enemy and in the coliseum you face all types of enemies) and again, will allow you to upgrade your hero to a satisfactory level before dying. You'd be able to experiment with different types of ability combos.
Thanks for the update! The mantis is really fun so far. Im trying to figure out what role hes going to play in my teams right now. I would like it if we got a back story to him, maybe in a future update or something. Only cause I like the story. Havent had a chance to get the treasure trove, but when my account has 8 more cents I will lol
thank you for the update as well , a few questions about the treasure trove mode 1. when the 1 million dollars is gone can you purchase it again? or is it one time only? 2. can you unlock achievements? or onlyon the non treasure trove games? i'm guessing no, but i want to be sure. thanks
My understanding is that you have that amount of money per game while you have treasure trove on. It's not a one time thing.
Don't waste your time (or in-game achievements) on doing a clean install. The new update crashes just as much with a clean install or not (tested on iPad 1 and touch 4G). On the other hand, Oxynidus' advice about setting graphics to low seems to be completely solid. EDIT: Not quite, the popups for mantis earning another power unlock has caused a few crashes, fortunately there's only a limited number of those that can occur
Lol ok. Ive literally been playing and waiting for the game to crash. I have noticed slight sutters in the game, but nothing severe. Any way, have people come up with good strategies for the mantis yet?
Uh oh, after purchasing Treasure Trove, the crashes suddenly become more frequent even with the low graphic effect option enabled. This is weird since I havent exactly turn on the Treasure Trove effect. Also, would like to point out that some of the crashes doesn't save your game sometimes like 7 out of 10 times. So for those who have 3GS, dont buy Treasure Trove right now. Those who havent buy, keep it that way until the next update. I personally like this combo.. activate Reckless + Fury together. It just slowly build up into one-hit kill on everything in the sight except bigger bugs. Activating Predator with this combo will easily restore Mantis's health as he goes on rampage. Havent test it out how the combo fares after round 20 on Hard though.
Well, I bought treasure trove on my 3GS. It's been just fine so far. Only get a slight studder when groups spawn, beyond that, great game guys! Looking forward to BH Quest.
Let me take a stab - iPhone 4 or iPad 2? I'm thinking it's a memory issue given that the chief difference between high and low graphics is that the game isn't loading all the map into memory at once under low. Those two devices have double the RAM of all other iOS devices.
FM, you're breaking my balls here... Just went to play some more and, oh, there's that annoying theme music I turned off ages ago. After playing with the update for a full day with no issue other than the crashes that I did away with by setting the graphics to low, the game up and deleted my profile I've had since the very beginning. After I went to the trouble to do clean installs on my kids' devices to test whether that had any effect on stability so I didn't lose my own achievements and history if not, the game decided I didn't need that stuff anyhow. After I made a point of not activating TT on my own device until I had fully unlocked everything on my own for mantis on my own (was getting close, had all the abilities and most of the armor), the game decided I'm going to need TT anyhow because it just reset my whole game Going to see if I can restore from a backup, but if this happens again, this game is shelved until there's an update. EDIT: Yeah, I'm going to go pull a copy of 2.1 off of my wife's computer (hopefully that's the one she has), this thing is unplayable. The restore didn't help, so there goes all my achievements. Had no choice but to buy TT and first game out experienced a crash as soon as a firecracker went off on screen near my hero. Next game I figured I'd try and replicate the crash to report it... and with TT in effect, I've got $0 so I can't. Started another game, TT enabled, $0 (oh yeah, and my base is starting off with no MG, just 4 blank spots). Really piss poor QA here.
Did you try playing Mantis in Coliseum for Tree trunk. Whenever my Mantis died, the game crashed and it didn't even let me save the high score either.
Bugs This is pretty terrible, Foursaken. Constant crashes, won't save when I exit levels. Hope you release an update asap.
FM: I see that the difficulty now increases much faster in later rounds. That would mean that the leaderboards will pretty much freeze in their current form, correct? Doesn't that warrant a reset? Thoughts so far: Mantis is really cool and fun. Unfortunately I don't see him climbing up the leaderboards in coliseum nor adventure. In Coliseum, he is heavy, not particularly effective against single nor multiple targets, and is very dependent on his abilities whose cooldowns are generally long. In adventure, he's no good unless you gear him up, and that's a pretty expensive process, and he's still dependent on cooldowns. He has no support ability that makes him worth keeping for anything other than fighting. He has a lot of potential though. I like his style. Some numbers may be useful though. Question: How does his Concentrate work? Does it affect attacks as the attack animation begins, or when the hit lands? PS: Chill dudes. FM are as upset about this as any of us if not more.
I 2nd this. If it's one thing we all should know by know is FM will make it right as soon as possible(wouldn't be surprised if it's been submitted already knowing them).
