    Hi, first of all thank you for the beautiful game.

    I have some questions; I'm actually playing the game on the Iphone 4 and i notice some slow-down mode/lag in the dungeons. It isn't really serious but after some hours it became a little frustrating, especially if I want to explore everywhere. It's a problem of my Iphone 4 that isn't supported and i must live with that or everyone have that kind of lag and in the future will be patched out? I can wait :)

    Hey hrsta, it's great to see you're enjoying the game! Each update includes some optimizations to make the game run smoother on mobile devices, and the next update should make it even better. It's definitely not something you have to "just deal with" - I won't stop optimizing the game until it's completely smooth for everyone.

    That's great, thank you :eek: ! I'm REALLY enjoying this game, there's a LOT of things to do. Greenlighted on Steam btw.
    *lurking mode reactivated*

    EDIT: and awesome soundtrack too

    Well I have. I think I have about 40 of them right now. I'm on realm level 100!
    I use a diabolic horde team (one particular creature increased quality of loot in chests based on number of diabolic team members). I used all 6 team members for realm level 1-50 and really pumped up my stash.

    Im in process of making a nether team of diabolicals to do another 1-100 run. :)

    Ah yes I had noticed this Diabolic creature. I think I'm going to gather a Diabolic team too, I have the particles for 5 kind of Diabolic creatures.

    Thy if I use my fallen carnage and kill first creature, kill another and then another from fervor will this continually decrease defense each time?

    Sometimes I have a hard time following the "does not stack". I assume it means if I had multiple of this creature it would not decrease it multiple times...

    Both of your assumptions are 100% correct!

    It's always fun to see what color a demon turned out. There are technically over 11 million different colors a creature can be.

    I'm experiencing major slowdown when I try to diffuse. I have to mash a to get it to work.

    I'm also finding slowdown in level loads and running around the castle.

    It might be since I'm at a high level that it's taking longer to generate things, likewise when opening chests I can tell it's working out details of what's inside and it pauses for a brief moment.

    Nothing game-killing just posting for your reference.

    I am experiencing the same kind of slowdown when I cast spells. When I try to heal a creature, I have to tap several times on the button when I select the target of the spell. This "problem" has always existed for me.

    @dudecoolguyman : How did you get that nether demon ? Is it a spoiler to reveal it ? :)

    @Zack : would it be possible to know how the damage is calculated ? I am curious to know how much speed and luck work on it.

    Love the sound too much. I don't have more time to play it now, but the soundtrack takes me know that I must return to this game tonight. :D

    I'll look into the slowdown, guys. I'm sure dude's problem is that he has an insane number of items, but that's not to say that it can't be optimized and fixed!

    @Andre: Thank you! That's one of my favorite parts of the game. You'll love the boss fight music.

    No worries thanks.

    I do have an insane amount of items.
    One major suggestion would be a salvage all option from the blacksmith. Having to salvage 15 pages of artifacts is slow :(

    I have 24 pages of minor sigils. I'm really not sure how I'm ever going to get thru all these. Would be nice to convert 10/1 or 20/1 to major.

    How exactly does transmutation work.
    I sent 500 of item A thru and got some other items. Then I did item B and got a bunch of item A back, doh! I think I remember you saying you COULD get legendary from this?

    Thanks to the Diabolic creatures team I have found two nether orbs in realms level 3 and 6, nice !

    To fix the problem of growing numbers of items, maybe you could add a recycle bin that would convert any kind and number of items to something else. Recycling items to get more items makes no sense so maybe the recycling process could award something special that is hard to get or even something that does not exists yet.

    Transmutation just converts materials into other random materials. It's just meant to give you a way to dump materials that you have no use for and turn them into something that is possibly more useful. You can't get legendary materials from this, but you will be able to soon.

    In other news, one of our new graphics artists has created a mockup of the new Winter dungeon tileset. Please let me know what you think and if there are any specific adjustments you think should be made, everyone! http://i.imgur.com/PvuFwwh.gif (Notice that there are a few new tiles in there...could that mean new events and Duty types? Spoiler: yes.)

    This tileset looks great and strangely familiar to what we have now. I love the simplicity of it while there are lots of details. I hope it won't aggravate the slowness of exploration though.

    It won't affect your FPS at all, don't worry. Any lag you experience is due to your device's CPU, not GPU, so all the optimizations rely on me making the code run faster.

    I have creature research thing up to 20.

    Will I be able to get all creatures via realms or are some only available via power spells? I've gotten. Couple that I have not seen in realms yet and I just passed realm 105.

    Thanks in advance

    Some creatures can only be obtained through Power Spells, while others can only be obtained from Bynine's shop.

    Srsly. WTF is that? 4 point? 6 point in a hard to read font?

    I gave up with eyestrain. Will be back when it's at least 10 point in the iphone, and ideally 12.

    It's 12 point font using Droid Sans, which is a font designed specifically for readability on mobile devices. :)

    I personally play the game on my iPhone 5s daily without any issues, but I completely understand why some people might want it bigger. That's why the UI is going to require a full revamp in the near future. It's not as easy as just increasing the font a few notches and calling it a day, because not all of the information will be able to fit in the current UI if that happens.
