did the 1.3 ipad patch get submitted? i'm kinda holding off playing until the changes it makes get applied.
The bad news is that after we were ready to submit, we found a pretty major bug, so we pulled it back again. We're working late tonight so that we can re-submit, and the good news is that Apple seems to be approving patches quickly right now, so hopefully it won't delay things much. It also means that two more things are going into the patch that we didn't expect: the "Nullify" card for offense (cancels out a defender ability, and is now used in some of the prestige levels), and armor-piercing ability for the crystal archer.
initially yes, but its seems easier getting dam and range buf cards for archers. so im right now rolling with +200% arcer dam =x3 dam. and with their low cost you can build enough lvl 1+2 to survive the first rush-waves if you only buy archers. then your money bags should kick in and your rolling in dough and can build fully upgraded lvl 4 archer towers on all tiles of the map have yet to find +dam on dragon canon, and thier much more expensive....
Yeah, the lower price on the archer towers (compared to artillery, or especially mages) can really make a difference. We're also trying out an armor-piercing power for the crystal archers (good against things like armored grizzlies or pigs, not useful against naked foes).
What is the status on the iPad 1.3 patch? Also, any new prices or new offerings in the shop? Should I be saving my gems for the patch or spend them now?
Patch still hasn't gone live yet. Last week, for the iPhone version, it went from "waiting for review" right through "in review" and to "approved" very quickly, so we're hoping it'll be the same for the iPad version. I'd .. save your gems a couple more days, if you can wait -- there are a bunch of new cards that didn't exist in the 1.2 patch. Not critical, but worth waiting a bit for if you can.
yuck, isn't here yet 3:30 PST so i doubt today. i sometimes get updates over the weekend but rarely so looks like monday for this...oh well
Yeah -- I've actually seen some of our builds be approved even on the weekend, so I can't fault the approval team at Apple for not putting their nose to the grindstone! We're waiting with baited breath, because it's definitely the largest content patch we've done so far, as well as fixing a couple of crash bugs that we tracked down from everyone's log messages.
This is my favourite game for playing during take-off and landing...Flying back to Stockholm on Monday so im hoping its updated by then lol. I even bought the iphone version as well (to play on my ipad) just to see all of the units (and support the devs)
Hey, all, I've started a simple blog-style page over at http://ManAtArmsGame.com to eventually get an easier area for explanations about card combining, patch information, and so on. I've typed up a list of various changes that should show up when the iPad 1.3 version hopefully goes live at any point now! I'll also go back soon and copy out some of the information we've talked about here in this thread, and give it its own page for easier reference. Just thought I'd let y'all know ... now I have to drive to the hospital with my wife, to have our baby be born .. I may be away from the forum for a day or so, but I haven't forgotten everyone! --Tom
congrats on the baby!! my mom (i'm one of 7) used to say as long as they have 10 fingers and 10 toes nothing else matters so when it vomits on your new shirt, shrug it off
What an outstanding game for anyone who enjoys TD or Strategy games. Hope to see some map expansions as I have won it at all levels of difficulty and am wanting more even after doing this. Truly a rare gem of a game. Would love to see more thorough documentation/help section which would help newcomers to the game. Highly recommend this game to all. IAP is NOT needed if you are willing to put in the time and change up strategies when losing a stage. 5 stars!
Thanks for the congrats, everyone -- definitely a tiring last few days, but we're enjoying having our new daughter home with us. And glad you're enjoying the game, Bigepede! The new update will have some more levels, monsters, cards, and pretty much everything, along with bug fixes. Speaking of which -- me, too, for hating the wait! Guess we must have hit Apple at a busy point. We *really* want to see this one go live! Meanwhile, I've been playing it under my new account name of "UnderBaby" (because I play while trapped under a sleeping baby), so if any of you are doing the multiplayer stuff and see that name, that's me! ;-)
Almost live! We just got the Processing for App Store message, which means the update has been approved and is going into the store. That means it may show up as early as an hour from now, or as late as a few hours, depending on how full their system is. So ... keep an eye on the store, and refresh your search every so often, and it should finally be live shortly!
