So, around King's Tournament level 47, the income from the fight becomes enough to roll your gold holdings into the negatives. You can still spend money, however. (But by this point the cost to upgrade my income is so high I cannot expect to ever make back the income from further investment, so gold has essentially become worthless anyway)
Apprentice Lockpick: It'll take me a minute but I can open some simple locks.
Advanced Lockpick: I'm getting better at this! I can open most chests pretty quickly.
Expert Lockpick: Screw it, I'll just kick everything open.
I enforce a rule on myself that probably should be hard coded into the site. Once you have spent an objectively unreasonable amount of time playing a given game, your rating, no matter what it was beforehand, must be changed to 5-stars. 5/5, JJ.
When I first saw the update had killed my save, I was annoyed, but willing to play through again because the game was that compelling. BUT. First play through (as necro) unlocked the assassin. First play through as assassin got me to level 70 and nearly enough gold to max all the skills. I'm on level 89 right now with over 4000 hp and no challenge in sight. I think I am done here.
I don't know. It is a pretty good demonstration that you know what you're doing codewise--it's not buggy, clunky, et cetera, but according to your profile this is your ninth game. I'd be hoping to see some innovation or polish by this point...it feels like you're still stuck in the "I'm going to see if I can make Game Type X" phase and aren't willing to try to give us something original yet. Please don't give up, but let us see something that is -you-. I'd rather see a mess of a game that gives us something creative and novel than just another simplified clone.
Block paired with Counterattack is straight overpowered. It makes NPCs completely untouchable without Throw. It is buggy as well. As far as I can tell, when I Protect a comrade, as soon as I have successfully counterattacked on their behalf, they gain the ability to counterattack on their own, sometimes even when they're not Blocking. The Block buff icon has a turn counter on it just like all the other buffs, however it always goes away in just one turn no matter what you do. Please change it to display a duration of 1 turn.
The "Win X fights without losing any gladiators" achievements are unattainable. Even a fight where none of my gladiators so much as had their armor scratched, and all of my opponents were attacked only in the torso and then allowed to bleed out, and Mercy was selected just for good measure, the achievement failed to award.
All in all, a very enjoyable experience with some blemishes that bear addressing. Please keep doing what you do!
Apparently I have spent seven hours, twenty nine minutes, and five seconds on this game. That is enough by itself to earn a 5 star rating. Thank you fazecat!
A little help for those having trouble with 4 - 3 (Or any other Destiny level) Stop trying to dominate the screen! As soon as your units leave your aura, it is time to stop sending them. Just stockpile units and when the enemy comes in range of your aura again send them all at once. + so others can see!
I am totally addicted to this game! Five stars! The one real issue I have is that the better my "Technique" stat is, the less -actual- control I have over the ball. I suggest increasing the size of the "sweet spot" for a straight shot as the technique goes up, and increasing the effect of curve when you strike -outside- that zone.
Guys, I solved the elevators problem. People complain because the elevator takes 9 days to get from the top floor to the bottom. Just make each shaft only go up five floors and the problem is solved. Yes it means a bunch of unneccesary elevator shaft startup costs but people stop whining and you get a LOT of room back. + so everyone can see.
I have encountered a bug where the game is advancing by months instead of weeks. This means I can't participate in many of the tournaments, including the ones (gold cup) that I need in order to advance. Not sure if this is because I have advanced to the gold level or if it is because the game is confused after a certain number of weeks have passed. Please bump so the developer sees this.
Best advice and appreciated. Have been trying to fine tune the skills and think i may be ready for something more unique.
