    I'm loving how the bosses run 5x faster than you and just one shot you.
    I have the ice passive, nova, etc. all blasting away, but doesn't slow them
    one bit. Not very cool at all.

    Try dodging their attacks and setting down doomsday turrets and try to separate u from them with walls and obstacles, backing away from them when a turret is down will take a lot of dmg away from them also... What weapons are u using to kill these bosses?

    Alright looks like I'm done @ level 9 it seems.

    Haven't had a "decent" weapon drop in over 15+ stages.
    That's not random dropping, that's BS. Some players have
    up-to-date weapon drops allowing them to progress easier,
    while others suffer struggling getting through the same content?

    I'm not finding that the game is "difficult",
    I'm finding it's more BS than anything else:

    - Invisible ground mines that stop/slow you?
    - Bosses one shotting you through walls? (10x tonight alone)
    - Bosses running 10x faster than you, while you're getting
    stuck on things that aren't there?
    - Death Kites shooting from 3 rooms away locking you in place?
    - Enemy shots slowing/stopping you AT ALL is just crap.
    - Skills not working as they're supposed to?
    (Too many times Reyem fires at enemies and the shot goes over them)

    It's been a long night, but really this is level 9, not 49.
    People are going to say, "Hey I got through it", but like I said it's random.
    Some players struggle, while others get some good drops. Not cool.

    I think the only enemies that slow u down is the death kites and they're extremely annoying (died about 20 times just by them alone) but I eventually got throuh it by getting a close spawn near the boss and TRYING to ignore the kites if that's even possible... Do u want any weapons from me? Cuz I can give u a crossbow if u like cuz crossbows will easily take out the death kites. You do know that u can also skip quests by goin to the lvl teleporter and pressing enter codes

    That's exactly what I do.

    Using a level 4 Hitcher because the game won't drop anything worthwhile.
    Sending me a weapon won't help because it will be dropped to level 1.

    I'm on Standard Edition and haven't been able to afford the level pack.
    (Unemployment's a b*tch) So skipping it won't do much for me.

    I don't want "Easy" handed to me on a silver platter, but I'm a firm
    believer the game is not equal for each player. Some are getting WAY
    more luckier than others (either with events or item drops).
    Again, the end result is some struggle, while some cruise.

    Looting is another issue I'm having. I have to walk over the same body
    SEVERAL times to get all of the loot from it on auto-loot.

    I hit a period where there weren't any decent weapon drops - the ones that did drop were usually worse than what I was using. Keep all the items, sell them off then hang around the shop on level0.

    When the shop opens, check the weapons inside - if there is nothing you want, then close the shop and wait a few seconds. It will reopen with new content. Rinse and repeat; I ended up with a Poor Plasma Chain that tore through enemies, and I used it for maybe another 6 or 7 dungeon levels until I found a better chaingun.

    You'll always find items in the shop close to your actual character level, though never above from my experience, while the loot you find in the dungeon will correspond with the dungeon level. At the moment I'm level 19, but my missions are on level 17, so I usually have substandard loot when compared to the shop.

    Regarding the auto-loot, this happens to me too. The problem looks to be the speed at which the auto-looting takes place - the game will only allow 1 loot cycle every second (at a guess), so if there are a stack of bodies together you need to pass over them twice or just walk a little slower to give the game chance to catch up and all will be well - in corridors you can usually just sprint along ;-)

    You can't afford the level pack? Is it possible ryan can do an unlock code like they did for pilot winds in update one?

    Behind you!
    I always got that notification whenever I got a blueprint, so I think that's what it means.

    Legendary Relics can come in a few different forms:
    • Special Weapon, like Hitcher or Spud Cannon
    • Saintly Armor
    • Rare Skills
    • Schematics

    Thanks, that makes sense now, just checked and I have accumulated schematics! I think the problem is that I not pay attention to schematics cos they seem overly resource hungry? Certainly don't have enough materials to build any at the mo.

    Hi all... really enjoying the game, currently lvl 10 with around 6 hours of play. Just wondered if there was a trick to playing the arena mode?

    I've got my character name set and when I go to the Arena portal it asks me to select location, but it's a blank window. I've sometimes managed to get a small world map onscreen by swiping the screen but which ever way, that's as far as I get.

    If I walk away from the portal and then back to it, it says I'm already queued, but never finds me a match. Am I supposed to wait by the portal until another player is matched?.. I thought you just continued playing.

    Anyway, I realise it's very early days for online.

    Great and, more importantly, just review. It also supports my suggestion that we should be able to resize the Left and Right buttons ;)

    the game was pretty easy until the mission 95. the boss is very resistance to all weapons, so only abilities do some damage, and not all abilities actually. but even more, he shoots through all walls and obstacles, so one needs to take health potions very frequently. taking in account the crashes and the fact that health potions work with some delay so this level sucks.

    Edit: melee weapons do the trick.

    Is the mailbox glitch fix not working anymore?
    We know sent items show up as Level 0, but trading and canceling used to restore it's previous properties. Now it seems things are only being brought back to Level 0.
