nice game, update suggestion: (unless you already have something you are planning on doing with races)
when you reach max level you now get race talents, example to how this would work (accual numbers may vary) :
max level is increased by 95 after spending 100 blue coins, ever 5 levels you gain one point on race talents.
class talents include passive and active abilities. (passive would be nice, but isn’t key part of update)
race talents can be upgraded to 15 points and you have three of them for each race

Hey Abra, was sitting around playing grindquest and came up with an idea that could potentially address a number of things that people have been asking for. Have you ever considered adding in other dungeons (especially at lower levels)? This would not only give people more options of where to grind, but it would add in a bit more diversity in the game and a bit more challenge for getting “meta is meta”. People have been asking for new types of items or for unique loot at different levels? Give final bosses of each level type a 5% chance to drop varying stages of chests. Give each chest a loot table of maybe 3-5 unique items from the dungeon in WoW and spec them for grindquest, maybe give them slightly better stats for level or some kind of effect or something (just make em stand out and above the level’s norm). The player “uses” the chest item, like you would use resources for crafting or “consuming” a flask, and it is replaced with a random item from the loot table. This would add an immense amount of depth, diversity, and uniqueness to the game based on the character and class and player choice. Much of the game is endlessly grinding normal trash anyways, and it’s very difficult to afk grind dungeons effectively without wasting a lot of time as a ghost (at least at intended dungeon level), so if you wind up finding one of these items at level it’d really be a morale boost to the player and would be a great incentive to keep people playing. Let me know what you think.

I kind of miss how the old heal system worked. When I had divine shield up, I was thankful I had a chance to get myself back up to max HP if I had taken any damage and my heal skills activated. Also, even though the heal isn’t maximized, the CD still resets so it could be ready when the Paladin gets out of the state of invulnerability for say raiding….. It’s really kicking my butt and I’m at full int lvl 8 guild with the DPS skills against the 7th boss….

I bought a flask for xp and firefox crashed, and the buff didn’t transfer over. I’m assuming this is just a dumb mistake on your part, cause if you charge a player for something and take the buff (costing 17.5g at lv 30) away after 5 min because they logged out (when it should last for an hour). This is a bug that NEEDS to be addressed ASAP, since it can have a considerable impact on a person’s gameplay experience.

Abra, why dont you add some special items in the game, which would be purple (rare)?
Take a look at these (forget about the damage written of course and everything else, just the stats and the name):
http://www.wowitemcreator.com/view/403067/Defias_Shanker.html -→ special item which could drop rarely from Edwin VanCleef in Deadmines
http://www.wowitemcreator.com/view/403068/Archmage_Vestment.html —> Another rare drop at the end of scholomance especially for the Mage and Warlock
http://www.wowitemcreator.com/view/403069/Grand_Valiant_Hammer.html -→ which is the higher tier of the in-game current item Superior Valiant Hammer. Again why not add very rare purples?

And what about item sets with some bonuses for having a full set?

http://www.wowitemcreator.com/view/403071/High_Warlords_TwinAxe.html —→ and the axe

And also, i was thinking about item sets:

Just wanted to say that GrindQuest is a great game and I’ve been having a great time playing it. I quit WoW a while back because I didn’t have the time, and this is a great alternative to keep the WoW head in me alive! :)

That being said, I’d love to see more of the WoW endgame content and dungeons being added in as time goes on. The diversity in WoW is what made it so much fun, and I’d love to see this game follow suit. Keep up all your good work.

Hi abra. Question about the Poison talent for Rogues. Is the 200 max damage limit for each .2% of the enemy’s max hp, or for the total 2% (with 10 points) of enemy’s max hp? Also, any chance you can make dungeon fights only drop weapons, since we’re pretty much guaranteed to have our own better armor custom made for every level. Not saying all fights, just dungeon fights. If that isn’t possible, maybe have quests give a random weapon of blue (with maybe 5% chance of purple) quality that is the same level as the mob killed for the quest. This way, its still random, and you might not get what you want, but at least you get something you might be able to use. Lastly, off-hand weapons of strength would be nice to experiment with for people who want to have agi main-hand and str off-hand, or vice versa. I know the other way is already possible, but this would be nice to see. Thanks again

You’ve mentioned that you entertain the idea of a type of reset. Personal suggestion time.

Dungeon restricted to 85.

On completion, option for reset.

Reset essentially brings you to the character creation screen.

Save file is preserved in the background (character, stats, inventory are cleared, bank is preserved).

Character gains +10 to all base stats OR +0.1 or so growth per level. This bonus stacks with each reset, likely not a defined roof value, since it takes a while to reset anyway, and this will reward long-time players, and give an incentive to never stop playing.

Epic item the new character can wear, or just no-defined-class item.

Highscore value for number of resets.
