Twice in a row now I'm not getting rewards from completing the guild quests. I just go back and there is another quest there but I'm not getting any gems.
What? there is a gem chest in level one?!I go away for a day and a half and a chest appears! So can I upgrade without backing up and losing my progress and stars?
Also, I am running a little behind everyone else, so could someone tell me how to deal with ghost bugs? And in level 60, there are so many mummies and wasps but no trap, so is it possible to complete the level without a trap boost?
It is entirely possible to complete the level without a trap boost, you just need to be careful and patient. If the monsters are in the way, try to draw them away from the areas you need to get to and then run by them when they aren't looking. Try wearing a helmet that increases your visibility so you can see all your options for going around them. I just replayed level 60 and didn't have to release a single mummy to get all the gold blocks. If the ghost bugs are giving you trouble, play with the sound on so you have additional warning for when they might be approaching and just stay out of range until they go somewhere else (you might have to wait awhile in some cases).
I'm having trouble getting past level 56. I always run out of either tech or energy. I've been stuck on that level for about a week now and have been forging weapons, hoping to get something that helps. Never mind. I upgraded a pick and backpack to mighty and flew right through it.
My apps update automatically. It seems that there was a recent minuscule update from 1.2.2.2 to 1.2.2.3. Now, under level 80 there is a new orange level that is not filled with active games yet. (At least, I don't recall seeing it yesterday.)
They have also changed the characteristics of Jade Blade. Now it has only 50% stability rather than 100% before. I think that it is right change since previously it was too overpower (you can destroy everything without any consequences)
Yes. That might even have happened with the May 12th update, because I have never been able to get the 100% stability, but ChE Nick had it on May 6th (page 12 of this thread).
I had 100% stability jade yesterday. Now it is only 50%. The lava hammer is also available for purchase. And the winged pick only gives x2 gems now. And, sadly, the chest in level 1 is gone with the gems.
It seems Backflip Studios has the capability to do over-the-air updates to the game. Either that or there was a timed unlock/change mechanism. I'm inclined to believe the former especially given their mention of "offline mode." I do not have automatic updates enabled and yet this morning 80 was the max, and this afternoon I can play up to 100. Plus as others report the jade blade has been halved in its stats. I have no reason to doubt the chest of gems has been nerfed in level 1, or the winged pick or market availability of items has changed. I checked my app store updates just in case and the last updates I performed manually were two days ago. I've definitely played since then and Dwarven Den wasn't one of them anyway. Wish I knew about this, I would have mined some more gems from level 1 if I could have!
Sturdy diamond pick Also with this update, aside from the gem chest in lvl 1 missing, the sturdy diamond pick (gold x3) is not working.
It just wasn't a win for Backflip to allow people to amass unlimited free gems. It was bad business. I was pretty sure this would happen -- especially after we saw earlier this week that chests come and go. I hope everyone here rushed to gather as many gems as they could and are each sitting on a good stack.
Ahh so it's not working.. I was farming gold in level 73 with that pick and only got 810 gold.that would explain it. It seems that they've nerfed that level too. The super gold block aren't there anymore and the gold star chests moved to the main island, instead of the hidden islands.
Oh goodness. Level 73 with the Mighty Diamond Pick (gold x 3) now maxes out at 810 gold instead of 2745. That a massive decrease. Not sure how much of that is due to individual gold block value and how much is due to fewer gold bricks, but I'm positive there are significantly fewer gold bricks on level 73 now. (I seem to recall 54 from before). I expected the change in gems but not the change in gold. With this game one needs to "strike" while the iron is hot.
Lol, it's all good, just a couple seconds apart! The gold decrease hits hard, ouch. Hopefully there will be better farming levels ahead!
Level 81-90 I've gotten a 3 gems chest in level 81. But it only appear once. With this update, I've to just use my stack of gems carefully now. Anyone found these new levels to be more difficult? I'm either running outta energy or tech all the time. And still stuck at level 83.
