    This game continues to be amazing.

    So simple and derivative of the genre, but so satisfying. Truly the Torchlight of mobiles.

    IAP I've spent so far: extra character slot, 300k gold pack, king imp pet. Probably amounts to 5 bucks, which is a mindblowing deal if I think about time spent and enjoyment/obsession gratification. Their game design is so generous, I want to reward the devs in return.

    The above IAPs allowed me to add an AI warrior to my party, buy a stash (to trade items between characters), and get a pet.

    So now my party consists of wizard (me), warrior (AI), imp, dog, and 7 conjured spirits. It took about an hour to power level my warrior from 1 to 16. He's now doing 22k DPS. :)

    I'm having fun with this game. I'm not really sure on how the DPS stacks. I'm now a level 23 wizard, and I'm only doing 740 DPS. What's the best way to get this up?

    How many acts and floors are there in this game? I'm currently at floor 21. Obviously quite a bit to go.

    I need some advice. How does stacking stats work? What's the best combination for my level 23 wizard? Shall I go for wands or staffs, and what rarity?

    Thanks for the video. Nothing wrong with The XX at all (the music- just so people don't think on talking about porn)!

    Hear hear. Don't take this honor (or responsibility) lightly, devs!

    Agree on the IAP. I've not seen a better, fairer freemium system. Just a wonderful experience all around.

    You can progress up to floor 200 currently. We are working on some new things as well that will mix this up a bit, should be in the next update as well.

    For wizard (I am VERY biased here as he is my fav) I really love the gauntlet coupled with the bracer. Once you hit char level 20 all of your skills will be unlocked and you can use the bracer to create a huge dome around your character. Any enemies that enter this area are slowed AND based on the elemental type of your bracer that dome will empower your attacks.

    So if you have a poison bracer and a poison gauntlet cast the dome and throw out a cyclone. Since the gauntlet is a poison weapon and you are inside of a dome created by a poison bracer it will increase the poison damage. Also range attacking through the dome (ie you drop the dome and run away) will empower the attacks as well.

    Ahhh....this explains the dome in Cilo's video. At level 19 I was confused!

    I've gotta say, this is an exceptional game and I'm loving it.. I'm patiently waiting for the site to be fixed up and I'm wondering, will there be any pvp updates in the future? Anyway mine'a a warrior and I'm always on the lookout for legendary axes And with this I've accumulated a nice collection :) [​IMG] [​IMG] curious to see what a complete legendary set is.. I only need one for the ascendent [​IMG] I kept buying fairies and still looking for the perfect hp mp leech stats. Also when you buy fairies on the shop, there's a chance you'll get an epic type, I'm wondering if there would be any legendary types of pets? Thanks dev btw :)

    Ah, I'll look out for these. Poison items? Maybe they come at a higher level because I haven't come across these yet.

    Asides from this, great game! :)

    Exactly! Great way to buff your own spells. I drop it down and trail enemies through it, or stand outside so they have to walk through it to me.

    And to the comment earlier about popping pots on boss fights, I still get more out of the game figuring out how to progress without factoring in pots into my playstyle. Spamming pots not just this game but in RPGs in general in my eyes was always a crutch to a flimsy build. I built this exact same tank Mage in Diablo 3, wrecked the game on inferno where my own attacks were fueling my hp/mp regen through crystal skin, while every other Mage was sitting at range sucking on hp pots every boss encounter. That was of course until blizzard nerfed the build lol. Archmages ftw!

    Yeah I'm 20 now and have liked backing up against a wall with the dome.

    Of course, I'm having dome size envy at the moment. ;)

    Is this some sort of inside joke I'm not aware of, that it has to be repeated every page? They said rogue is next and even that is ~2 months away.

    What does it cost when you ID a piece (or why is it necessary otherwise)?

    Also, is sort working for anyone? I have mine set to type (though rarity doesn't work either) and it's still a jumble. Edit: never mind- I see that there's a sort button on the right side. So it just isn't auto-sort.

    Pretty sure it works the same as in Diablo or Torchlight, the ID acts as a roll for item stats and it costs nothing in this game.

    Here's another quick vid, this time a boss fight with Ignis on Magic+ Power 5. Again sorry about the audio, Display Recorder sucks at in game audio, and I don't have an audio out mixer for the iPhone.

    I agree you shouldn't have to factor pots into your play style imp only just up to the lava area now but I've sailed through all the levels and bosses and never died yet on difficulty 7. I would play on 8 but waiting until I get a legendary weapon first.

    I use the gauntlet too I'm finding it to be a great weapon mainly for the tornado. I would use the bracer as my second for mana shield and time bubble but at the moment I'm just swapping gear to match the area I'm in so I have minions instead

    Oh and in answer to the question about pets I remember seeing on the games forums there are no legendary pets yet but I'm sure shiny box can clarify.

    I know this game can essentially be played endlessly, but I would like to see an endless dungeon implemented, with complete randomization from floor to floor.

    Also, I may have missed this somewhere but what kind of level cap do we have?

    Is there any way I can reset all of my coins? I'd like to start over from the beginning but I don't want to uninstall the game and lose any achievements or IAP. I tried to find a clear all data option under settings, I figured that might be my best bet.
