Sorry to hear that. # It appears to me that for every comment here talking about the game mechanics and best setup etc, we have one saying they simply cannot play it. I feel both sad for the players and the developers. The more the game gets justifiably bad responses because of the crashes the more chance this game is going to fail. I have also experienced the game crash but luckily, so far, I have been able to continue playing. There are a lot of annoyances in the game, especially the inventory, but the time I have played I have enjoyed. My personal feeling is that we are now experiencing the "real" beta version. All the crash problems being reported here cannot be ignored. This game has simply been released too early. I hope the devs can sort out the issues because there is a really great game to be had here. It's just a shame....a real shame....what is happening. ☹️
Still only on mission 4 (taking my time doing side missions so as not to rush through) but only had 1 crash . Ios 10.3.3 and all seems well . Purchased all the extra warriors and hoping more to come. I will purchase the extra skaven map soon once I delve further into this map. Loving the blood knight . Even the knuckle duster is wiping out the early monsters on him . Having all the Rodeo games on release day, I can confidently say they will be getting out fixes ASAP. Only request would be to bring back the monster and weapons information and lore . And I would imagine Ben will be enjoying some well earned rest #
Level up and rerolling Oh my oh my this can get real tiring real fast just like WQ1! When you level up your characters do you stick with what you get? Or do you close the app and have another go at a better stat? Ive just rerolled my level 2 high elf sorceress about 10 times. Mostly I got +5 HP but I also +1 AP (nice) and +1 dex. I think I might have made an error by rerolling my +1 action point level up but now its too tedious to reroll it back so Ive settled for +5 HP.
Thanks @Nullzone, that's mostly it for now, just would like to recommend that as a future addition. I also bought 1000 gold and didn't get it, but I noticed someone else mentioned that it doesn't appear until the start of Chapter 2
So can anyone from the beta outline abilities or special differences between what the classes can do? For me so far everyone is much the same either tank or damage and not much special about them. So I'm wondering in helping me decide who to use more, like what kind of abilities or spells they get for their possible play styles.
My Empire Captain has the most damage inflicted, but my Sorceress has the most damage in 1 hit (1228 HP!!!!). You can see all sort of char data in the character panel. Incidentally this makes me really optimist in seeing in the future some filtering/ordering characters (similar to Darkest Dungeon).
@3nickma: you can reroll if you want to, and I did one playthrough (the 4 Captains) with exactly that to see how much I can optimise. Well, it’s not necessary. My guys were so ridiculously overpowered, difficulty went down from slightly challenging to super-easy. I’m still in favor of getting to pick my upgrades at levelup, but by now I also see value in Pitta’s approach to just roll with what you get. Also note that you can hire new heroes in Inns and get them as sidequest rewards. Especially those at Inns can come at high-level (I’ve seen up to lvl 6 or 8, can’t remember right away). Sure, the pricetag looks hefty at first. But since they come with equipment and levelingup gets expensive too, just hiring a new hero can be the better option. In my current game I try to not levelup anyone while I still have other options, and 4 storyquests in I’m doing pretty well (and I’m only using squishies *and* in melee ). But I have to honestly say it’s not something I’d want to do while still learning how the game works. I basically limited myself to see how challenging I can make the game. @ste86: I wrote some bits about different kitouts already, e.g. ranged/melee/support Captain or even melee Sorceress & Mages. I don’t have the time for a longer writeup now, that’ll have to wait till sometime next week. I wouldn’t worry too much about it, pretty much everything works @pitta: holy crap, that Sorc damage is insane my highest so far is ~300 and that’s already total overkill.
I would say pick up what you like and start from there. Ive had a lot of fun with my regular group (2 captains, 1 sorceress and 1 galde elf archer), 3 glade elves and their leader, a sorceress, full dwarves slayers party, full 4 loremasters elves (only for the brave).... The game gives you a ton of freedom: the more you play, the more possibilities pop up. By the end of the game and even better after game ending, you will find tons of different items and spells. Despite Ive played a ton already, I keep finding new items that change my party. This is one of the best things about the game imho. Just...you wont find those in the regular shops, not at first anyway (Im under the impression the game introduces new batches of items when your average level gets higher, but Im not sure). There is a thematic reason for that too. For those unfamiliar with the setting, these are the End Times....the Old World is collapsing and chaos is ravaging the land. (Hence the map on fire, as opposed to the map of the first game, which was set years before). In some years, the world will be destroyed and then the Age of Sigmar will rise. Even in Altdorf, the capital, you wont find anything special in these war days. But....on white quests....this changes, being them solitaire heroes or rare items, or spells. Dont be impatient....enjoy adventuring. Its pretty clear to me this is the core of (one hell of) a game that Perchang intend to expand and let grow...the growing potential is pretty incredible imho, given the simple yet elegant skill system. Im pretty sure they want crashes, which are pretty unfortunate of course, to be killed sooner than the people experiencing them...just because I know they cant wait to pump out new expansions and continue adding to the core game. Ive had hints about that, and I really cant wait.
Ive found a killer combo for her. Ive some skills and items that make her INT grow on room discovering. In massive branching castles (like a certain castle) this gets ridiculous. Then if you get a critical with a INT based spell, it reaches impossible values. As I noted tough, the most total damage has been inflicted by my first captain. My preferred combo is so far the Elf explorer (which gets a plus DEX, plus SPD every time he opens a door). In certain open rooms I just get her at the entrance then she start shooting arrows like Legolas, killing everybody. If a deathblow check fails....I use her amulet that replenishes AP. Now that I found a new ability for the captain that negates all armour resistances of enemies for 1 turn, even piercing resistant enemies arent safe anymore. I must take a video of her, shes quite a sight
Ok can anyone please explain how the attack system works? It makes no sense. I will tell you what i mean. I have the knight who has 5 strength and a weapon with 6-10 slashing damage. There is an enemy with piercing damage bar almost full and the other two bars to 0. So the enemy has no defence against slashing and crushing damage. I hit him once and he gets 4 damage!!!! How is this even possible? I am totaly sure about it cause i checked it many many times in the same dungeon with the exact same opponent. The weapon has no restrictions neither the enemy and i am not poisoned cursed or whatever. Anyone has any ideas?
I sure hope not. When you work on projects like this, whether it's games or websites, the first days and weeks of being "live" are some of the busiest. I'm being patient and haven't called in a refund, but my patience isn't infinite. If I still cant play this game by next weekend, I'll probably initiate a refund to retrieve my money.
I just got WHQ2 and the DLC. So far, so good. Im using a 256gb iPhone 8 with the most current OS. The team building excites me. I hope Perchang overcomes the release week hurdles of the game not working for anyone, because Id like to see what other units and expansions they can bring in the future.
Is there no way to get rid of characters you dont want? Id really like to tidy up my character pool a bit.
Sure hes busy but it would be nice if Ben could drop a quick post to update us on the status of things. Might put some minds at ease.
Agreed. Im one of the people running the game fine so far but find it odd to be hearing nothing from Ben given all the problems being reported. I really like the game. Agree on some of the UI issues discussed on here. Im hoping the crashes get fixed soon and the App Store ratings improve. Really want the game to be successful and developed further.
Yeah, its not been a great start. Id love to see 1 or 2 expansions in the games future, but if the initial release momentum turns sour I dont see that happening.
Well it's happened . I've spoke too soon. Encountered an odd bug. I'm on a mission loop! just completed mission 4 : monster hunt and once completed I'm back out and it's like I've never completed it. Tried a side mission and same thing. I'm back at the same pooint before like it wasn't completed . Where can I report this bug?
In the 3rd city of main quest i found a 2800 gold archer who had a 14 range weapon that did 8-8 damage at 2 ap cost. 3rd shot does double damage same turn. Bug: bought archer, unequipped his weapon, went to my higher lvl wood elf archer and there was no weapon. Unequipping it deleted the weapon! Wasted 2800 gold.... please patch Where else can i find this bow?
