It's happened to me many times, it sucks but here is what u have to do for now: quickly press top right Options and "leave mission". Sadly all 5 of your heroes EXP will go to 0, so hopefully u didn't save a lot. I think ive lost 12,000+ exp on 5 of my heroes by now. My observation is that this crash on enemy turn is some type of of memory leak and happens more likely if u play many hours in a row. What i do now is force close app and restart phone after each mission and it hasn't happened to me since i started doing that. My original issue happened days ago and i did contact Rodeo support by email asking for instructions to send them save game file, they haven't got back to me yet maybe because of weekend so I'm waiting. Knowing the company they will optimize game more in coming patches just pray iCloud makes it in ASAP.
How often is this happening to people? I leave Wednesday and have a 9 hour flight but am not wanting to buy this until this has been fixed as no matter how much fun a game might be even with frustrating crashes I just don't have enough gaming time to play as much so I can't see crashes and losing experience as something I can actually manage. When I was younger I was more tolerant since it only meant 30 mins of playtime loss but now I'm unfortunately stretched for time with work, family, and life etc... I'd be most interested in knowing if this issues is rare or actually common.
I hope so as well but as I went through the forum and even commented myself quite early on about it, I haven't sent any "no" statement from the producers but also haven't seen them respond to several comments making your request. Silence could be good but in my opinion likely isn't since a "we are looking into this idea" would have been better or at least acknowledging the many of us who have requested for this! In my opinion all games should consider this as many of us do gave both an iPhone and iPad.
I haven't experienced it yet but I did not have time to play that much. If you are only starting you can just spend all your XP after every level then it won't hurt as much just to be safe.
Never happened to me, though I don't usually play really long sessions. I'm on mini2, and from what I've seen most of the complaints came from people using iPhones, but don't quote me on that. Game is really fun though, you should definitely get it. I was on the fence as well, and have had no regrets. Plus, at this price, it's an absolute steal.
Silence? RodeoMatthew has been asking people to send him information so they can fix it. The developer seems very engaged. I'm at that point in the relationship I am actively trying to find things about the game I don't like. I'm a huge WH40K fan and have just seen too many terrible games pissed away on the license. On a iPad Mini 2 I am not experiencing any problems aside from long load times between screens. The only issues I'm seeing are the same ones from the beginning. A glacial pace, especially on the enemy turns and the isometric view is pretty much worthless. However, I have to be fair and say because of the way the game plays I prefer the top-down view so it's hard for me to beat them up on the isometric view, but they need to make the map borders transparent at least. I am actually loving the quips and barbs between the Marines. The dialogue seems very appropriate and consistent with their overall bombastic nature. If you've read any of the Black Library books (WH40K novels) it will feel just about right. Quite honestly, this is the kind of thing that usually annoys me but it works here. There are a lot of little changes in how things work like flamers and plasma, but it feels appropriate for the game without ignoring the source material. Like someone else here, I am trying to figure out why the game thinks I need so much plasma weaponry on my draws.
where do you click? I have no UI, freezes at enemy move, I force quit app and it restarts right at beginning of enemy move. I see no UI, I did try just tapping on right corner. Never had a problem with their games before so I didn't notice the total lack of support.
In which case, I've clearly lucked out. A missile launcher is my only tier 4 kit - and it came on something like my 3rd or 4th (free) pack. None paid for, so far! Guess that's what happens when playing roulette! (And tbh, I haven't been overly convinced by it. Still rolling with a t2 plasma cannon, for the most part...)
I just had this same problem on Act 4 Mission 1. In the top right corner there is a little gear you can click for options, but you only have a short period of time to click it when the game starts. Honestly, I think the exp loss mechanic should just be removed in normal difficulty. Now I have the choice of waiting for a patch that hopefully fixes the problem, or quitting and losing hours of grinding because of the crash issue. Really underwhelmed by this game as a whole. Expected more polish after being so impressed with Warhammer Quest.
Try restarting your device, i noticed enemy turn lasts a few sec before crash if ur device is fully restarted. Then go into game and quickly try to tap top right of screen icon. It's the only icon in top right of your screen, that's your best chance at getting back to playing otherwise u must reinstall game and lose EVERYTHING *see pic below - notice the icon top right? If u manage to press it before crash game will pause, then just choose to exit. They are both awesome games, but i find this has a better growth rpg curve and more content overall to beat plus multiplayer coming, i don't remember H2 having pvp..? I hate you.... Sooooooo much..... ;(
Wanted to share the map I like for grinding Exp safely. Act 2, Mission 1 "Regroup" It takes about 1 hour to do 50 turns and gain below amount of exp (about 7-12k exp per hour). just position your guys in top left and top right corner and u kill 9-11 enemies per turn. To explain the names of my guys, first # is range, 2nd letter is U for Ultramarine, (i do W for Wolf and B for blood) followed by 2 if it's a 2 energy cost skill or 2M for remonding me the melee weapon is 2 energy cost. then i do type of unit or their specialty.
@RodeoMatthew I'm using 5x Ultramarines on my team and they all have "Battle Brothers" passive unlocked for +5% Accuracy and 5% Hp per Ultramarine on team. My weapon has 82% accuracy after putting points in accuracy and the 25% accuracy from this skill should make my weapon hit 100%, ... But it still misses! This must be some bug right? Question: Does Glory of Guilliman skill (40% damage ,-10% accuracy) persist during enemy turn? For example if i set some units to defend after using this skill does it persist during enemys turn?
You guys should try to advance to the veteran difficulty. I believe brother Pitta has posted earlier that the loots are much better. I believe they start from tier 2 on this difficulty. Here's what I have collected after around 10 hours on veteran.
Since some people are so far in the game, mind if we start talking stats instead of RNG of packs? Would be nice to know stat load out of abilities and upgrades, such as how much accuracy is even worth purchasing before there's a curve, or are we just shooting for 100% on everything? Which marine abilities are a waste of xp? I'm guessing we are all in agreement that plasma weapons are worthless or am I mistaken? How much accuracy/dmg is needed to negate overheat of plasma weapons? Where's that guy that did those awesome Google doc spreadsheets of every ability and weapon on the Warhammer Quest forum and if you're here any chance you're working on this game?
Going the whole ultramarine route is a bold strategy, viable though. How often are you missing, like 1 in a hundred? Something might not be being piped correctly. I can investigate on Monday. Glory of guilliman, sanguinious and leman Russ are for your turn only. Afaik
All abilities have their place, obviously you build a team around them so there's no point have the +X for X ultra marines if you don't have any ultra marines. 5ap over charged plasma cannon with 100% accuracy is about 2500 damage in a single turn, stick a few +15% plasma damage purity seals on and your a 2 shooting carnifex killer! I aim for 90% accuracy and then start going for crit, I'm a do or die kind of player, you've gotta kill them before they get close enough to kill you!
So jealous of everyone, I'm on the iOS 9 beta on my Air 2 and can't play it yet. Looking forward to sticking my teeth into it when iOS 9 is finally released. I spent many a happy hour on WHQ
I tested with Tier 1 Heavy Bolter which fires 7x and 40% more volleys up close, 84%+25% = 109% right? But it misses a few volleys nearly every time... In my experience out of the 7 volleys it misses about 30-40% of the time or more. by the way, i went 5x Ultramarine because of below Rite of Ultramar Purity Seal and the 25% Accuracy/HP was too good to pass up. I like that Ultramarines also have the "Enemies cannot Crit you" equip that is unique to them and with the Hunker Down they make the best tanks IMO. Now if i could just get 4 more of below I would be all set (they stack right?)
Triage actually heals those around rather than the marine himself, strangely. $400 is no small sum. I wish you would go kickstarter for the next game then you could pledge the money and ask for a hero to be named after you!
