    Sorry Edmilan

    We've been working on cleaning up the first 5 minutes of gameplay as well as making the tutorial skip-able and streamlined. We've also removed the energy mechanic for now, among other changes players will appreciate.

    The iOS release matters to us, and we want it to go relatively smoothly. Thanks for following our game, I can't say how grateful it is to have people excited about something you make. I hope it won't pain you too much to wait a bit longer!

    no problem, anytime my friend. :)

    my personal impression: even though this game is free, the IAP is balance, and you'll get many items just by looting(the more you search the area, the more you get. also drop coins and gems are so generous in this game. dunno bout the final version later though. i don't know why, but the graphic effect seems running on low setting on nexus 5 which can be better i think.

    Been playing around with Pylon for a bit -- so far, I really enjoy it! One thing though is that I wish there was more help available. For example, I really don't get what the blacksmith does, and why you'd want to use him. One time I think I accidentally changed my bonecrunching two-handed weapon into a pedestrian one-hander. That was annoying.

    Hey lfras! Glad you like Pylon so far. The Blacksmith offers a couple different benefits. The most powerful one being the ability to reroll stats on gems.

    Lets say you got an Epic (Purple) Gem, but not with the stats you wanted. You can take that gem to the Blacksmith and for a gold price he will reroll brand new stats on it. The gem will stay an Epic Gem, but maybe now it will have +lifesteal on it instead of +crit damage.

    Lets say you get an Epic one-hand Wand. The Blacksmith allows you to reforge it into an Epic one-hand Sword. The quality of it never changes, just the type of weapon. (Weapon load-out bonuses change depending on what you have equipped, ie Dual-Wielding swords gives you plus 15% Attack Speed)

    With Armor, reforging is much simpler. There are no direct benefits to reforging one piece of armor into another. If all your armor is of the same set, you gain that armor set's particular bonus (like plus 5% Damage to Bosses).

    Ok, cool -- that makes more sense now. But is there any way to know what kind of bonuses come with each armor set? Or is it just random?

    Another thing I wish is that you could have more than one Jane, so you could play around with different choices of abilities and equipment.

    We've had multiple save game slots in the past, we might reintroduce them again. There is a wiki in progress to refer to for armor bonuses, Legendary effects etc, but for now...

    Armor Bonuses - look for the following names on the gear. To complete the set you need all five pieces of armor (gloves, boots, pants, helm, chest) to have matching names. Rarity of the item, like whether its an Epic or Rare doesn't matter.

    Tier 1: Mercenary's (Normal), Outlaw's (Hard) and Raiders (Very Hard) = plus 20% to Bonus Gold

    Tier 2: Sentinel (Normal), Protector's (Hard), Keeper's (Very Hard) = increase Energy Regen to 10/s (from 8/s)

    Tier 3: Templar (Normal), Cavalier (Hard), Champion's (Very Hard) = increase Movement Speed by 15%

    Tier 4: Guardian (Normal), Paladin's (Hard), Gladiator (Very Hard) = plus 5% Damage to Bosses

    Tier 5: Warden (Normal), Overseer (Hard), Warlord (Very Hard) = plus 15% to Strength

    Tier 6: Wizard's (Normal), Mage (Hard), Magus (Very Hard) = plus 15% to Int

    Tier 7: Thief's (Normal), Scoundrel (Hard), Trickster (Very Hard) = plus 15% to Dex

    Tier 8: Maven (Normal), Savant (Hard), Demigod (Very Hard) = plus 10% to Strength / Dex / Int / Vit

    Health Regen 0 and Focus potion does nothing

    Hi,

    I'm having an issue. I've upgraded to the 2nd health potion and now it doesn't regenerate. The one you get at the beginning of the game did. If I look at my players stats it says health regen = 0.

    I also purchased the Focus potion. That does absolutely nothing. Is there a reason that potions don't work for me?

    I'm playing on a Windows 8.0 phone.

    Thanks!

    Hi Quantum Squid,

    I am playing this game for days now. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I can reach to the very hard level with no problem (so far). I found an annoying bug on the Warrior Skill: Riddle of Steel. The bug is the skill does NOT apply to my current weapon damage automatically. Say my weapon damage is 250 before the skills. after I apply the skill (passive, by assigning to my passive slot), it becomes 1300 (at maxed level). but, whenever I got to loading page, particularly at the Hard mode Final boss, my damage will go back to 250. so I have to open my abilities option and re-assign the skill, the my weapon damage become 1300 again. it is annoying for me since I like to farm from that boss to gather legendary and I have to re-assign the skill over and over again.

    LUMIA 1520

    Please help. Thank you.

    Nevermind. I beat the game. Found a good build and I one skill everything (including final boss in very hard mode). I want to post a video here, but that would spoil the game and make it not interested no more.

    Please, I love this game. Could you make PVP mode or at least add "HELL MODE" or add more level. I am level 39 now and have 6,500,000 skill damage. Even the final boss cannot do anything (die in one skill). I have not even used legendary weapon at the top level. Now, I have nothing to do, really..

    Will the iOS version have real shadows like the Windows 8 version?

    Glad you love the game! PvP is something we are interested in and we have done some prelim work on it. We also have new PvE content in the form of raising the level cap, four new levels and new boss encounter that continues the storyline. We hope these new features will eventually be updated to Pylon, but our current focus is how we want to release for iOS.

    6.5 mil damage? Wow.

    If the specific device supports it, yes.

    Second pylons' bug and frustration

    I also am quite frustrated by the riddle of steel bug. Every time I portal around, I need to go back and reassign the skill (even reassigning to the same slot it's already in fixes it) to get the bonus to apply. Please fix :)

    Other than that, loving the game. I like how you can reply at the harder difficulty, but also go back to easier difficulty with access to all areas to farm and up your stats if needed.

    Weapon Loadout

    Is there any further info on weapon loadout bonuses anywhere? You mentioned in a previous thread that dual wielding swords gives 15% attack speed, but what about other combos?
