    Thanks to the developers for the potentially really cool update. I hope that more users don't report these issues and they are isolated or I might wait for now.

    Screw that. I'm not going through another Puzzle Craft deal where I lose all my s*** as soon as I update. I'll wait for the next go, thank you very much. :eek:

    Oh that's terrible with the update's reported issues. I'm going to hold off myself.

    I'm finally getting around to checking out the Arena. Yeah I know how long that quest is.

    Hmm.. I don't have that problem..
    I just downloaded the game again, haven't had time to play more than ten minutes, but for me, as in the previous editions of the game, before the latest (awesome) update, I get two free characters, and the third guy will cost the princely sum of 5$, which I believe is cheaper than before.


    Then I just have to make money in the game to buy additional characters.
    According to the patch notes, that should be much easier to do than before, so I looke forward to replaying the game.

    If I were you @Rosso, I would try re-installing the game, it must be a bug.
    The Developer is not trying to rip you off, you would know that if you'd read through this thread and the frequent posts and support he have contributed here.

    I suspect, maybe you think the use of the dollar sign $ make you think it's real money to buy characters and stuff in the game, but that's in-game money, and it's not at all necessary to buy anything with real cash to beat the game, unless you are impatient and/or want to support the developer.

    Also, if you're new to the game, you may have thought that you could have a full table of characters, which is not the case, you have to start small, and the quests and challenges are made for a small party of 2-3 characters in the beginning.

    I lost my saves due to an iOS upgrade, I was jail broken, so everything was deleted on my iPad, so I don't know about the save game issue some have had, but with this much changed to the game, I think I would have preferred to start over anyway, but that's just me.

    Can't wait to delve into the game again, in between my Baldur's Gate sessions.

    Thanks to the Dev. This update looks like a winner.

    Sure does... Well, if you ignore the mountain of bugs and issues people are running into. I haven't seen anything that prevents me from playing that some say they have, but the text in my game is all messed up. Sometimes it flat out says "missing language". Nice. I don't want to delete and reinstall...

    Why isn't this available in Canada? What is it with devs and this country?

    Not available in the USA when I checked. They must've pulled the app because of the problems.

    Sure, I've just started after a re-install from scratch, and haven't played more than 20 minutes, so I can't say there's no bugs, but for me, so far no issues.

    Perhaps it's not behaving so well if you're updating the app contrary to re-installing?
    If that's so, it's a drag for sure, but as I'm reading from the patch notes, there's a whole heap of changes, so maybe a restart would be preferable for many?

    So far, in the forums here, there's not that many people commenting yet, whether positive or negative, it'll be interesting when some of the frequent posters in this thread discover the latest patch...

    Also, I think the issue @Russo had is not really a bug or even a real issue, I suspect he just haven't discovered the game mechanics and economics in the game, and misunderstood a few things.

    Hmm.. Yeah, maybe the release was premature?
    I downloaded the app an hour ago, and it's gone from the Danish AppStore now too...

    Good update

    Just installed the update and have been playing for about a half hour. havent seen any bugs yet. They completely nuked the money situation, not sure if its the same as before the last update but your gold intake seems to be about tripled. Personally I didn't think it was that bad before, nothing wrong with a little grinding :cool: but now you will have NO problem farming. I think exp is a little easier too. Two new characters (not class, I made that mistake and was disappointed) gamer and mrs Goldberry, former gives 1 skill duration and latter gives 2% or 3% stat boost to hp mp exp life steal and mana steal. The wizard coast quest is fun so far I'll post again if I find something new. Thanks devs! You really seem to be listening to everyone's (mostly unwarranted) gripes. Can't wait for the new campaigns :)

    Hopefully this is quickly fixed and returned for those who didn't grab it yet. The text issues were annoying but not game ending. I don't know how wide spread the bigger issues are.

    Sucks to see this occur so close to the holiday. I would love to pick it up if it gets pushed back onto the AppStore soon.

    I'm having the same problem, i'll try to reinstall and see.
    I alrdy consider my saves lost, though.
    Very annoying, nevertheless.

    Nope. I have re-installed 3 times. Start new game. A very strange list of save slots in some language appears. I choose a slot. The guys says "click on the empty chairs to choose 2 chars". I click. It shows me a char I can only add for 10 bucks. I have 5. thats it. Can not play.

    :(

    Sorry man, but I have been playing games since 1980, I AM a professional games producer and designer myself. AND I have a brain.

    So, this is utter BS what you are assuming!

    Creating any more than 2 characters in a party costs money. You can't create a 3 members (max amount without the Graal bonus) party from the get go unless the 3rd guy is a pizza guy, and that's what I did. However, money is shared among all playthroughs so you can corner yourself by first creating a 3 members party like that (hence spending money), and then having a change of mind and going for another party, at which point you would notice you have zero money. By all means, simply play for 10 mins and get back all the money you have spent from quest rewards.

    Knights of Pen and Paper is back on the App Store. Just downloaded.

    Does the developer read this forum? Could he please add auto rotation?
