I just got the bow, actually, and would love it if someone did a detailed equipment analysis. It seems to me that the sword will catch the bow in damage at level 10, but the bow has a vastly better special ability. Anyone know how high equipment can be upgraded? Is there an optimal upgrade path? At the moment I don't want to unlock the merc's second skill due to the bug, so I am planning to upgrade my bag once I raise the money and then just grind gold, runes, and mats for a bit. I wish my golden ham was working though.
I didn't know picking up the same spell lowers it's cooldown. That's a cool thing, but it must be announced "in your face". I'll update my post with this one and with the armor correction.
My guess is lvl20 max right now. My sword is lvl 15 and i got 1/2 ressources to upgrade further. Seems like the ressources required to upgrade change every 5 levels and are found in the next dungeon, which would make lvl20 max so far, but thats just an assumption. Attention, Spoilers: Bow special is nice but only deals half damage on activate. War axe has highest damage gain (0.5) and a nice crit chance with 0.5% gain which would make it the best raw damage weapon i think. The butchers axe starts out with 1 damage and a 0.2 damage gain with 5.5% double strike chance and a 0.5%gain. Dont think its any good, but dunno havent upgraded it further. I like the third armor best so far, highest health gain (2) and a high% special that lowers enemy damage (havent payed attention by how much yet, though) Last armor looks nice as well, little less health (1.5 gain) and a reasonable high chance to return incoming damage 5.5%(0.5 gain) Cant give indepth analysis since ive only played around with most weapons so far and not really tested them. Havent payed much attention to shields so so far.
Ever since I got the bug that gives you the third key in the first dungeon but does not unlock the second character the game freezes up basically every time I play it. Really considering asking for my $ back from purchasing golden ham. Just feels like the bugs and problems with this game continue to pile up. Seems that the game was quite a ways out from being released but got released anyway for whatever reason. No way the majority of people would release their blood, sweat, and tears to world in this shambled state.
Just an update. Ran into the "can't press any rules" layer issue three times in a row - all on the 3rd boss level. It was especially frustrating because I had more than enough to kill him. Finally had a great run and took him out, which unlocked the other character and the dungeon that was locked and had mysteriously dissapeared now reappeared unlocked. A new dungeon now appears locked. Despite the bugs, as I've said before, having a blast. Iron the bugs out, and this will be one the best games I've ever played.
Yeah, I'm sorry I rushed to judgment at first. At the moment I am waiting 90 minutes between runs because my Golden Ham is busted, but I'm still at it. And not sorry to have supported the dev either.
I think I just ran into the bug where you can't click on the next level of the dungeon. Does that bug only apply to the second dungeon, or is my game entirely fried until the update?
I can't click on any tiles either after making it FAR. I regret spending money and will be deleting this, it's terribly balanced anyways. :/ Going back to the original.
Kill the app and restart it. When you start a game it'll let you pick up from where you were (roughly).
It seems like it requires meat again though? Or am I doing it wrong? And once I have enough meat again, do I need to rebuy my tavern upgrades or will they still be there?
Your tip worked, still the balance is atrocious and frustrating. Bought ham and a few runes but more frustrating than worth it.
Had an amazing run during lunch today. I got three runes and two roast beefs (or whatever that meat is, haha) and had my favorite spell combo (heal and fireball). I was finally taken out by an insane room with multiple enemy buffers that was hitting me for 10HP each turn.
If you get the tile that lets your purchase spells for golf and you don't like the spells for sale, you can exit the tile and enter again with a diff selection if spells each time till u see the one you want bug I presume Tony
Well after at least 10 hours of game play I've basically given up on this. Made it to the second dungeon but never unlocked the second character (bug?). Now my game freezes more than 50% of the time that I try to play it. I purchased the golden ham the night the game came out because I really liked the first game and wanted to support this developers efforts. I bought the ham under the assumption that I would be able to play the game whenever I want for as long as I want but now with this freezing bug that is unfortunately not the case. I have asked Apple for a refund on the golden ham IAP and will delete this game from my device never to be downloaded or updated again. Like many others have said, there is basically no way you could play this game for any extended period of time and not be alarmed at the number of bugs. Hate to say it but think it was just greed and laziness on the developers part. This has actually made me question my future as an iOS gamer and I just got an iPad air a little less than three months ago. And just to get it straight I do still enjoy the game but cannot support this kind of duck and run from game developers in general. End rant. ;(
Ran into the freezing bug again. I think I'm going to have to regretfully wait for the update before I can continue my journey,
While I agree that this game obviously didn't have sufficient testing before release, I think it's a bit premature and unfair to accuse the developer of "duck and run" behavior. The developer has been very active on this forum, and has been very up front about acknowledging the problems people are running into, with no attempt whatsoever to obfuscate the problems or deflect blame elsewhere. In addition they pulled the game from the app store when they realized how buggy it was, since they didn't want more people to download it and spend money on it when it wasn't working correctly. And they say they are working hard to get a bugfix version up as soon as possible. In other words, while they obviously messed up by releasing this prematurely, the developer's behavior since then seems to be as far as possible from duck and run behavior, and in fact I'd say is the model of a responsible reaction to the problems.
I agree, he had to take it down and not keep subjecting future players to a broken game. It's incredibly hard as a developer to get things right the first time especially when your adding features and don't have time to test everything from scratch.
I respectfully disagree. Me and many others haven't been as lucky as you. I had the same scenario you did except every reset, reset my attack so I was fighting the boss at 4 attack after it was so much higher. After reset it skipped me past the boss so not only could I not fight him, I had no where to go and essentially lost all my progress of 30+ minutes. That finally made me delete the game. So much for money spent supporting the dev.
Hmm so not only is the Merc bugged with 100% evasion instead of 5% for the skill, but if you unlock the mage and buy the 10% reset spell cool down skill, your *Merc* keeps that as well. She's basically unstoppable. Dev, look into that bug with mage Wisdom affecting the Merc plz.
