Mmm Onyx apple + twin coupon + gold hack + Duku = win. Unfortunately I have no incentive to continue on to level 180 it has gotten too boring at this point (level 155ish)
I think buying from the traders should give you faction based on how much you spend. It makes sense from a real life point of view and it makes the grind a little less terrible.
The fact that you can run out of money and lures and have to restart is terrible. I beat it the first time without killing the sharks, then tried again in order to kill them. Ran out of money + lures, and there's no way I want to restart AGAIN.
It was going really well until I finished all of the quests I could take and was still 500 faction away from shadow runners and 2000 faction away from magicians...
It's possible to shift through the lock walls if they are covering a place you could normal shift on. You have to jump and quickly press shift, so that it shifts while you are in midair, and you go through the lock wall -_-
Keep working on this more, add more stuff, and this game could become very good. Where it is now it's just at the "has potential" stage, but this type of game is fun.
