Hey sorry if this has been discussed but did anyone figure out how to restore saves? I tried to contact Chair and they gave some advice and told me to talk to them again if it didn't worked. Well it didn't work and now they are ignoring me so I'm back to being stuck. It's not really fair they gave no warning at all before the update. I'm sure a lot of us including myself bought it day one for $7 and are now being forced to restart.
Guys is the save game option still broken. I need to delete it install some other games! If I download it again after a whole would I lose all my progress???
IB 1 & 2 or Books? I've never played IB 1 and 2, I'd love to but can't justify spending the money on all 3 games right now. I want to buy IB 3 while it is on sale, but don't want to miss out on the complete story. I've read Touch Arcade's recap of the plot from 1 & 2, but don't know if it's really enough. Is reading Infinity Blade: Awakening and Redemption good enough? Or should I just start by buying IB 1 and work my way through all 3 games? Thanks for any advice.
IB1 barely has a plot. But it has really good bosses (fights with the God King are always incredibly intense), a slightly creepy atmosphere and particularly focuses on parrying skill. Strangely, I feel it's the most responsive-to-touch game out of the three. You might want to try it out when it goes on sale. You can read a summary of the story of IB1 and IB2 here. As of now the second game's the most enjoyable game of the trilogy (less bugs than the current IB3, no second currency, better learning curve and easier to progress). Do play it if you want to. Read Awakening after getting the plot of IB1 and Redemption after IB2.
So ... any news of another big update? There's a chest upstairs in Raidriar's Stronghold that I can see, but cannot yet reach ... Unrelated question: at what level/awakening is Deathless Mode feasible? At the moment I have both Siris and Isa at L150, and Awakening 101. Both do well in the Arena, playing at the "Aegis" level, but opting out at fight #15 or getting clobbered soon after. I'm not anxious to lose any of my gear, but that little purple skull keeps beckoning ...
^As for taking on Deathless mode, just prep yourself with a gem of each element, or preferably a 100% elemental defense gem, and bring with you your highest level loadout. Also, bring some gems which will help you against the occasional "normal damage resist" enemies. These can be "On Parry/Block/Dodge Deal Damage" gems or you can go with gems that help you gain Magic quick to cast your damaging spells like Holy or Lightning. A cheap way to tackle the bosses in Deathless mode is to use the Blunt spell. It is pretty overpowered right now, so i suggest taking advantage of it.
My wife was watching me kill the worker for the second time and started asking lore questions. About five minutes in to the discussion and tripping over myself I came to a conclusion : This series has so completely contradicted itself between the games and books that any brand new player jumping straight in to the third title must be confused as he'll... Heh.
I dunno, ChAIR has always been ignoring important details in IB lore (who Ausar was, what he did, who Isa is, how she knows Siris' Deathless nature, how Siris had been "a fraud, a pawn" ...) - mostly likely they just couldn't make up anything good enough - but I don't think there are many contradictions.
Bug since the update? I have finished the main quest and selected the option to restart without going through the end scenes and the beginning of the game (skip ending option). Now the worker of secrets, clash mobs and trials are all inaccessible. Im at level 190 and dont want to restart the game allover.... The game was updated 19 dec, doesnt look as they are going to fix it..
QUICK QUESTION: Does the difficulty of the non-boss enemies in deathless mode scale: a) to your awakening; b) to your character's level; or c) independently of these? Anybody know?
For me it was just the Final Act that was inaccessible, caused by the option you mentioned above. Everything else was fine, and i just played through deathless mode instead, which ended up being more rewarding. Not sure why you cant access clash mobs and trials though. Maybe the game isnt connected to icloud? Make sure it's enabled in the options menu. Not sure what else is wrong.
Getting ready to upgrade my +1000 darkfire gem with the gem cutter, but just want to make sure the combo is correct. It is the +1000 Darkfire and 2 +400 Elemental gems (or +750 indoor/outdoor), right?
