    Play it. That's an order.

    Just be prepared to do some reading on how to play and watch the YouTube I posted above.

    When you come down to it, this is just an elaborately Dungeons and Dragons themed dice game of push your luck. It's all about using the right guys and equipment to best defeat/overcome each scenario's unique set of hazards in as efficient a manner as possible. As an example, it can be far too tempting to have a fellow adventurer at the location give you one of his blessings so your current character can more likely gain some little trinket, but at the same time you have to ask is this the best time to use that blessing or would it be better served to boost an ally in some upcoming battle?

    Probably an issue with them releasing this latest update. Some sort of server tweaking going on. I believe it has happened before but rest assured they usually get everything back again real quick.

    And LordGek summed it up real well. Once you understand how the game plays, you'll realise your noob qualms with the game were trivial and it becomes so easy to play yet thought provokingly deep.

    The 20000 gold for 5 bucks is a ridiculously good deal btw. I had saved up a thousand gold and I bought the character pack and all the current expansions and I have like 3000 left. So if you were thinking about jumping in this would be the time to do it.

    Howdy guys. There's lots of good advice in these forums so I thought I'd ask a couple of questions. I was looking through my gallery and noticed a lot of duplicates.

    Is a card more likely to pop up in an adventure if there's more copies of it in the gallery/vault? If so, would it be a good idea to salvage the dupes I don't like?

    How do you guys feel about salvaging cards in general? I just got the 20k and bought a bunch of chests so I'm wondering about the best way to deal with my collection.

    As I understand it, if you have dupes in your vault then yes that does increase the chance of drawing that particular card. Certainly for the common run of the mill cards that you have dupes of like 10 of, then you will want to cull that back down to (whatever the original was), like maybe 2 or so. All depends on how you want to increase your chances.

    Man, this app has been a struggle. This new patch introduced the "Buried Treasure" IAP for $4.99. What a good deal for 20,000 gold, right? Well, I log on to the app and, of course, the Buried Treasure IAP is nowhere to be found (although it is listed on the Apple app store under IAP). So I close the app and open it again and this time it is there under Specials. During this time, however, I found out that the 20% bulk treasure chest discount is gone with this patch as well. So, I spend my 10,000+ saved gold on chests and open them up. Even after the gold value reduction (both from addition of dice to chests and bulk purchase removal), I decided I would still purchase the limited time IAP. When I go to the specials page again the special is once again gone (although I never purchased). The only special is the "Rise of the Runelords" bundle that I bought at launch (shown as "owned"). I tried restarting like I did before but to no avail. I tried opening the app on my iPad but to no avail.

    So, I am wondering if anyone else is encountering a similar problem after the October 4 update.

    I just downloaded and I can see the "buried treasure" in specials. Haven't tried restarting but it's there for me right now.

    I have never seen the Buried Treasure option on my device. Definitely not listed with Specials.

    Thanks for the response, Talbs. Let me know if the option vanishes. Like I said, I was able to see it one time in the store. The Buried Treasure option was entirely gone after I opened some chests with my previously-earned gold.

    I wonder if anyone has purchased the IAP. Does the IAP show up as "Owned" after purchase or does it disappears entirely?

    Yeah it was right there for me when I updated in the store. So hopefully everyone doesn't have that problem

    Just logged out and came back in. It's still there for me. Already owned the rise of rune lords pack.

    Showed right up after update for me.

    iOS 9
    iPhone 6 Plus

    Only thing I've bought so far is the daily gold (of which I've got 3 days left) one chest and one character.

    I think consistent bugs are the only hope for keeping this game in the top 20 "Hot Games" on toucharcade. Brilliant!

    Help!

    I too purchased an IAP (the one with dice, 25 chests, a paladin armor and greater-aid).
    I got everything EXCEPT for the cards (armor and greater-aid).

    I originally had the armor from a previous chest...so dunno if that was the cause of the bug.
    But even then, I would expect to get greater-aid.

    How do we get in touch with the developers?


    (Side question: does having duplicates of a card in the vault do anything? Higher chance that it would show up? But that wouldn't make sense because I would just dump the commons...)

    Are you expecting the cards to be in your characters decks? I'm assuming you will have to find them during a scenario. Having duplicates in the vault does increase odds of encountering that card. Anyway, you may want to go to this site: http://forums.obsidian.net/forum/97-pathfinder/

    I mean I expected to see it in the "Options" -> "Gallery"
    My understanding of this is that the Gallery should have all the cards you found in chests... Making them available in your runs (ie: character decks, eventually).

    But right now, the cards that I bought via IAP don't show up in the Gallery

    Strangely.. I can't create an account at the Obsidian forum. Always complains the registration security answer is incorrect (despite having simply copy-and-pasting the answer)
