BUG: Someone else already reported this, but I can confirm it. When I reset the world and hit a formation button, all my previously bought character appear on the screen, enough though they don't do any damage. They *do* go away when I refresh the page. I've also noticed that sometimes an enemy is using the art for the final boss for that area. He doesn't have the boss' HP, just the art. I don't know if he has the boss' name, he has died to quickly to see that.
Bug related to resetting should be fixed as of around Noon Pacific Sept 22. We are aware that sprites can generate with the wrong picture but it's slightly low priority on the fix list, having to do with the random spawning of the monster pool.
Jeweled chests get more and more disappointing as the game goes on. I'm only using certain crusaders at this point, so getting gear, especially rare gear, for the 10 crusaders I don't use feels like a waste. Actually, at this point almost all my damage comes from one crusader. So out of the 60 possible types of gear, only about 8 are actually useful. Even then, they're only useful if they're an improvement. I've gotten at least 4 Dim Blood Crystals, which kills me every time because a better Blood Crystal would be massive, but it is such long odds. The enhancement bonus was nice at first, but even that gets more and more disappointing. Going from a 650% enhancement to a 675% enhancement is actually just a 4% relative improvement, and that relative increase will only get lower.
Michael, that seems unlikely. It seems much more likely that it just bases the score on the highest level unlocked. Is there any way to test if it is disqualifying levels under certain circumstances like you say?
More info on the time warp money estimate bug: The number isn't updating. I have advance levels, increased the DPS, and increased the gold bonus, all without seeing the estimate go up. So the number just isn't being calculated when you hover your mouse over the icon.
Suggestion: With the Box formation, sometimes the enemies go down to the bottom of the screen to fight the lowest guy in my formation. When they do that, I can't see their health meters. This is often a problem in tough boss fights. How about when an enemy, or at least a boss, is at the bottom of the screen, his health meter moves to over his head.
Offline earnings: My best guess is that they are based on a combination of DPS, Gold Bonus, and the highest level that you've unlocked. Does that sound right?
fantasydraggon, hover your mouse over the enchantment and xp icons. They are next to the LVL UP buttons. That will give you a description of what they do.
chwooly, the jeweled chests still appear. I just got one. They're just rare and random, which means sometimes we get several close together, and sometimes we get a long streak without any.
It's simple. The first time you beat a boss level, you get a chest. When you reset and beat that level again, you'll have a 25% chance of getting a chest.
mrzjadacz, the first time you play through, every boss has a chest. You can even see the chest on the minimap next to the boss level. After you reset the world, the levels that you have already played are not guaranteed to have chests. They will still have a 25% chance of giving you a chest when you beat the level. You can farm chest, in that you can save all your chest and you will still have them when you reset. Right now I've played free play mode a few times to save up idols, and I have 29 chest saved up so far. I'll use them when I do a tough crusade.
"Buy Max" absolutely will not help the problem of maxing out levels to get the most idols before a reset. If I hit "Buy Max" for the first guy, then I won't have any money left for all the rest. So it will be useless. I'll end up doing the same thing I do now, which is buy levels in increments of 100 for one guy, but stop before I spend the last of my money, the do the same thing, one at a time, for the next 19 guys. It's a slow, tedious system that makes me dread resetting the world a little bit. I don't even buy half the crusaders until the end when I have to do this.
heri halilaj, there's an options menu. It has a button for music and another button for sound effects. The sound effects button is buggy, I usually have to try several times to make it work.
