I updated last night, haven't opened, but didn't know that the character would get wiped. I don't really mind, tho, I deleted my characters a couple of weeks ago (and haven't played since). If this was intentional it should have been said (I checked the App Store and there's a comment about this, but I wonder if it was there at the beginning? Last night I saw the update on the iPhone and I automatically downloaded it, didn't read notes or anything like that). If it wasn't intentional, wasn't the patch tested? I mean, if a lot of people are getting their characters deleted after updating, can't believe no one hit that one during the testing process... As for deleting, wouldn't it be better to just reset stats instead of the character? Sort of how Blizzard does with World of Warcraft when they change talents.
Well, I updated last night as it came out and didn't see any bold characters (probably because the error was not reported by then) Where did you see that? I read here that the update was released so I downloaded on iTunes (Check for Update, download) and then transferred to the iPhone. Haven't opened the game, tho, and didn't read the change notes either (as I said, there's a warning there but I'm not sure if it was there last night). Edit: Now that I remember, I did read the change notes last night and, I might be wrong but, I don't recall the text that is there now: WARNING: THIS UPDATE WILL ERASE PREVIOUS SAVE DATA.
any jailbreakers having issues with gamecenter? mine keeps logging me to sandbox gamecenter account. I wonder if gamespy will work. what a shitty game
I installed update, and it works on 4.1 (iPhone 4). The game still lags when lots of objects is on screen but the game itself is playable. There's bug from previous version that occurs after 3rd intro video is played and before that blue wheel starts spinning. Sometimes you can see something* from the game blinking few times for a short time between 3rd video and spinning wheel. * - it's not always the same, sometimes it's scene from a game, sometimes game menu... I also experienced crash after sending the game to the background, opening Settings, going to DunDef settings, changing something (I forgot what), and returning to the game. Message with info that game needs to be restarted because of changed settings popped up, I clicked OK and *cRa$h*!
Preface: Running iPad 4.2.1. No apps running, soft reset device. Visual Upscale setting halfway. The Bad: - BUG? When I use my Apprentice's Overcharge ability, then summon a Fireball Tower I lose the mana and no tower appears. Have not tried other towers yet due to lack of time (heading out the door soon as I post this), but this situation happed three times in a single map. - Lost all my characters, but I knew this from reading TA. I can live with that, they were all low level. - Framerate gets really choppy at times and stutters badly every few seconds or so after completing and moving to the next area. This will happen for me for the rest of the game, even loading and walking around a new map with no towers or monsters. My solution (that works for now) is after I complete all the waves on a map level, I exit the game and be sure to kill the app running if it is. Then reload it and it is fine (didn't need to reset). Wash, rinse, repeat after each map is completely finished. This is probably not ideal in online mode, but for local play it is good. The Good: - Framerate is much better now, using the solution in the 3rd issue I mention above, compared to 2.0. Particularly with a lot of action going on. - Merchant in the tavern is awesome! Though the prices of the equipment and pets for sale are quite expensive, the fact of the matter is with time there is a way for me to acquire a pet solo. Ability to respec, though at a very expensive mana cost, is a nice addition. - Early impressions appears that the experience and item drops are more balanced. Not being spoon-fed, but at least I am acquiring gear and levels. I was actually progressing and getting goodies here and there. I am pleased with the update overall. I hope that the possible bug I found can be addressed (or if it was an anomaly hopefully does not continue to occur again). As well, the performance drop over time hopefully can be addressed, as the first map I load always runs great. The campaign levels starting in waves greater than 1 was something I noticed already occurring in 2.0, so I knew that was normal.
This is now the 2nd time, that the save data will be cleared.. I have to start fricking all over again.. Gonna bring the stars down to 1...this is insane... spent tons of hours, and then this....
I have put more than 100 hours into this game and I'm not angry at all. I am pleased with the update. If they had kept it the same your looking at some serious unbalance.
the stat balancing is pleasent, instead of the tiny bit of improvement you get from stats you actually benefit a lot earlier. I have similar DPS to my older char with 20ish tower attack rate(0.46), (old char had 90ish, 0.26 magic missle tower.) Maybe i'm wrong but I can't tell, I started adding range and felt the range to be extremely similar to my again, maxed out range on my older character with a little bit of stats.
lol, that's because of your bad Jailbreak.. Some jailbreaks don't use your userid, but a sandbox account. This is also causing a problem for IAP etc... So... time to unjailbreak it, and buy your games legal..
Update All in all the update is good except character loss. If they would have told us we would lose our saves and have to start over, then I would accept that but to get blindsided is another thing altogether.
Can people start going to the damn online forum so we can get some campaign games going. Add me on GC if you haven't: DaDramaLlama
This is the third time I have lost my characters. Even if it was intentional this time.... seriously!?! Talk about a lot of wasted time.
other games have been working fine with game center and I bought DD when it was $2.99, you moron. It's must be DD's problem, intentional or unintentional.
Well i'm glad i went to sleep early last night, atleast i get a warning. Not gunna update, hope this wasn't intentional b/c i don't wanna wait for nothing if there not planing on correcting this bug.
Guys, please do not update if you want to keep your characters. We are looking into this now and should have a final verdict on what's causing the issue later tonight. That said, we are trying to put something in place to compensate users who lost high level characters. Also, we are glad lots of you are enjoying the new patch despite the character reset.
