nerdmasta, the server DID crash. If it was an update, the game wouldn't attempt to connect to the server. Also, we would have had a warning before the server went off... Which we didn't.
The save slot system was amongst the latest updates. Bugs were there, Colino couldn't succeed in fixing it. Had he kept working on the game, I'm pretty sure they would have been fixed by now.
And thus, all my characters are now able to Idle in the Arena. Unfortunately, it seems that some character have copied the data of others. Guess I'll just restart my Valkyrie, which I was planning to use forever but already got replaced.
There's already a boss for each area. You have 7% chance of meeting him. As for weapons and other items, it was supposed to be the next thing to be updated, but Colino has suddenly stopped updating the game many months ago.
Yeah, Soldier is somewhat a pain. He got huge STR, but his other stats are soo low. You could kill some monsters in said map, but still not able to idle in the previous 2 maps or so.
@MythMaster: What are you talking about? There is no such thing as health! The moment a battle starts, the game has already decided if you won or lost depending on your stats and the monster.
It's great to know you have an ammount of gold only obtainable through hacks. But Colino apparently has stopped caring for this game. Whenever we see some kind of activity from him, which is once every 3 months or so, it's only to talk about his new game he's creating.
Or is there? I'm pretty sure the Necromancer is the best class. He's supposed to be the best starting class but worst ending class, but I'm able to Idle in the Arena with the Necromancer before the others... Hmph...
That's a question I've been wondering myself as well. It depends of when the game makes the Stat check. Is it at the moment you encounter the monster, at the moment your kill the monster, or both? You could always try it yourself. Better try it with a low level character thought, since it takes some time to get back to the Arena...
