Played some more on multiple devices trying to get cloud saves to do something, and frankly, it's a complete disaster. I've now experienced all of the following: A character from one device was not available on the other A character started on one device was available on the other device, but an earlier save (e.g. a few levels before) A character I played in one session got rolled back to level 1 (on both devices) A character I only played on one device got deleted and replaced with a character I only played on the other device In some cases the game actually asked me which file to keep (red exclamation point next to the save slot). But I've also gotten all of the above without an option to choose the file I wanted to keep. At this point I have to recommend that people don't install this game on more than one device. Unfortunately that isn't even good enough, because apparently others here are getting rollbacks on only one device. But maybe your characters will at least not be overwritten with other characters if you only play on one device. It's a great game otherwise but I will not be investing much more time into this until the cloud save functionality can be turned off.
I'm still live with my GC problem, so i just stick with my ipad, and since there is no sync and anything with cloud, i've never got any rollback or missing character before. Are you guys sure it's because of the game ? (iPad air 2, ios9.0.2)
No, iOS cloud saves actually have a pretty bad reputation for a reason. But it's something that occurs with this game, and that could be prevented by the game. For example, other games address this by allowing us to turn cloud saves off or by using separate cloud slots that we move saves to and from manually.
Multi-Target Warrior Issues I have the duel-wield tree maxed, and I'm not seeing ANY AoE effect. All the DW synergies should be causing hits on multiple targets, but all my damage remains only on primary target. Same as War Wind. I think the multi-hitting is broken, at least for warrior.
The whole tree? Coz only the last 2 in the dual wield tree has multi targetting. If so, then there's really something wrong with the warrior skills.
Yup... The whole tree. Including the last two "AoE" skills. While surrounded by MOBs, I can whack away at a big MOB that takes 5-6 seconds to kill, and in that time, not a single other MOB takes damage - EVER -- not even from some of my passive "retaliation" effects from gear, or thorns from a shrine. It's as if the game can't allow damage to anything but your focus target.
email i received from dotemu regarding lost progress Thank you for your email. Titan Quest uses iCloud to save your progress on Apple's servers. Your last save was not transfered properly to the iCloud servers. The game saves your progress locally on your phone/tablet and send it from time to time to iCloud. Before exiting the game, you should always go back to the title screen in order to properly sync your save data on iCloud. Make sure to also always be connected to internet. When you launch back the game (on the same device or on another one), if the iCloud save data is different from the local save date in your phone/tablet, you will see an exclamation point at the left of your character's name (screenshot1). Click on it. Here, you will be able to choose which save you would like to use (screenshot2). Images intégrées 1 Images intégrées 3 We will soon update the game to make this more visible to players. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and we thank you for your understanding. Kind regards, DotEmu Support
Thanks for posting their email response. That's bullshit though. The game should save locally regardless. Losing 3 levels isn't fun and I haven't played since then in fear of losing more progress. It essentially breaks the game entirely unless you beat the game in one playthrough. I hate being harsh as I love DotEmu and am a huge supporter of theirs but this sucks. Having iCloud isn't worth this issue. I guess I can turn it off for this game specifically?
Forsaken media's iCloud function is genius in heroes and castles 2. Maybe you guys can try something like that out.
@scot, you are welcome. i felt everyone should know about this and i agree with you. why use our data plan when it should save to a local hard drive on our ipad. it seems everything is developed now adays for internet this and internet that.
dont get me wrong, i am absolutely loving this game and ant put it down. dotemu deserves huge success with this game and i think everyone that likes these types of games should buy it!
Yeah I agree. However I just checked and my second character has rolled back now too. This is really frustrating. I wish I knew if they are rushing to fix this problem because it's a huge issue.m
i lost 4 levels earlier but now when i quit the game, i save and exit to the title screen. i also turn my wifi on when i save and quit. so far so good
I guess I've gotten lucky? I always play with airplane mode on to conserve battery and I haven't had a rollback.... Yet
I actually think it's because you use airplane mode I got a rollback early on, after i installed and played the game on both iPad and iPhone. After that, i switch to airplane mode before i start the game and remove it from memory before turning wifi on again. No rollback since i started doing this On another note, is it me or does this game seem to heavily favour ranged classes and casters in particular? I've tried lots of combinations so far, though only to level 10ish before i delete them, and i've found that spirit and earth just plow through everything while defender is slow and still uses a fair share of potions and warfare/rogue are very squishy. Hunter is ok except they lack the pets from spirit and earth Does this change later on? My spirit + earth caster is 16 and is still just breezing through. I'd really like a good melee character too but so far i haven't found the right build. They're either too slow to kill mobs or too squishy to be fun
Love this game brings me back to my Diablo and Diablo 2 days, just the constant crashing is killing this game for me....
I'm running two characters (despite roll backs grrr). My first and most beloved Tank can take down pretty much anything in melee. I had the fortune of finding/grinding two blue (magical) weapons and as he duel wields he is unstoppable. Most skill points I've ploughed into pure warfare mastery with hunter running a slow second skill because I also found a magical bow, which he uses for pulling mobs. The second character, female, only level 8, I'm running as a Hunter, pumping that mastery up first then focusing on spear and bow, I think for secondary skill I'll go shield as I like the idea of her as a hoplite or a proper Spartan! So far she is doing well, no magic weapons yet though. I'm grinding the centaur quest until I get a decent weapon. I think the best advice I read was to not spread your skill points around but focus on the mastery to a high level first....mainly because it boosts your primary stats as well. So loving this game though.....
Anyone know if there is any chance of the expansion content being added in an update as there is no IAP mechanism for buying the additional content? The expanded content would be most welcome!
Couldn't wait any longer so gone and bought it. OMG can't believe how good it is - like Diablo II in 3D with rag doll. Runs pretty good on my iPad Air. One crash so far and I think a rollback. When are s/w companies going to stop launching games that reset progress. It's very simple, all they need to do is implement local save slots like on Baldurs Gate so you can limit the damage. Anyway, very cool game.
I have also been grinding the Centaur boss on a few of my guys but the drop rate for something good is seriously low lol. I did get a blue necklace and a green shield but thats it for a bunch of runs. It is good for a few extra levels though #
