I have played the game around 6 months in Kongregate, and I'm enjoying it greatly, so thank you Hapiwaku! Is there a way to shift to Steam with my progress, in order to have the newest updates? I have problems to import save file in Steam, cannot open the popup window. I play with Mac, might be the reason? Last 3 days, I have not managed to open the game here, only black screen showing.

Game doesn't load, stays on black screen. Basically what tikipop said a week ago. Reported the bug but no changes. Can we have a dev comment on this?

@kellcey - second swarm badge for 100 vanquishes works, next ones should as well. It's just first one that's bugged out. @DeathKeeper - Items with enchants persist through world ascension. Thief's equipment mastery adds an extra slot or two to the item. Once you have that you can simply craft a low lvl scroll and enchant the item. But overall i wouldn't bother much with it except strong early game items. You'll get all equipment back soon anyway.

Thanx so much Dankaw. I've got the first 7 ranks of catalysts, no void egg available yet. Cheers on the Black Pearl, will try it!

Do any of the swarm badges work?
@Togobr: equipment tenacity (from the epic store) also allows using enchant scrolls on equipped items, that might apply to the proficiency scrolls too.

@matthewgraves001 Void Egg should be a byproduct of rank 5 catalyst. I'm not there yet so i can't confirm. Black Pearl can drop from bosses (rare drop) and mimics (common drop) from dungeons. Easy way to get them is using Pilfer (thief's skill) on a mimic with Material Multiplier Mist potion. You can only steal from an enemy once from my observation.

I played this game for a while the offline makes it stays offline for 1 year
the good part is the RPG feeling, that is destroyed from a lot to time to spend, it needs to balance it, I give it 5 because of the idea, but... it has a lot of flaws

OMG I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. GET EQUIPMENT TENACITY AS SOON AS YOU CAN! IT LETS YOU USE EQUIPMENT YOU DON'T HAVE STATS FOR AT A SLIGHT DECREASE IN THE STATS OF THE ITEM. The stats don't matter, because you can now level up items you wouldn't be able to previously, and get new equipment slots faster.

@nono_boulot - Passive characters only count a percentage for the swarm - 20% with Proof of Rebirth 1, 40% with Proof of Rebirth 2, and 60% with Proof of Rebirth 3. I do not think I completed a 150 until after my first World Ascension 1 (after which it can be /much/ easier).
I think of it an an idle game, since you can gain the resource Nitro Booster when logged out. That said, it is less idly and more active than a number of idle games.

played last month and the biggest problem is : it's called an idle game when it isn't. an idle game don't forced you to play all day long. i found the system interesting, but in the end, you need to be constantly watching what's happening

im at the part where quest farming for mob skill quest, what I did was use rebirth [timing] item and set lvl when I finished quest and add that number by 10, quite accurate actually.. once you add in the quest reward you will get 10 lvls easily, so you can afk quest farm the mob skill quest for d/e rank easily! also need favorite area for this combo/strategy to work though!

@R2dB6q - the game is in active development, or at least it's been updated multiple times in the last week. That said, I have no idea how frequently (or if at all) they plan to update the version on Kongregate.

check (see all) to see my other comments! thought they removed it but guess not heh! as for it being grindy.. just think of it as multi-clienting! play this game while grinding for 3 minutes for items/exp than switch back to here! shouldnt be that hard to do especially with buffs! thats how most players play mmorpgs that have multi-clienting in this generation! or allow it for that matter, wont discuss that here though! for those that have issues/criticisms with this game, hope you find something else do.. like get a life, because the dev wont work on this game anytime soon.. least listen to the playerbase.. I mean dev decided to update this game after a year, when kongregate decided to close off the forums for commenting!

@FrostPaladin - The pet Purple Fox along with Advanced Auto Disassembling Equipment from QoL4 helps with inventory management a lot, from my recollection. As another note, since you can disenchant and re-enchant items, nothing is /unique/ that I'm aware of - though things can be difficult/expensive to make. The main issue I had early-game is realizing that the vast majority of equipment is junk, save for how it helps with quests.
As for your first point, the point of Nitro is to compensate for time offline. Note that without doing enough quests and/or getting Nitro Cap Expansion, the cap will be low. This speaks to your third point as well - I don't think the designer really worries about what happens when the game is in the background. In their minds, the game is at the forefront or closed.

pt 3 serious design flaws;
design: The buffs and big attacks QUICKLY explode in mana usage. SO you can put the game down for several hours and find that due to leveling up a skill, your character can no longer use it... and thus instead of farming they are just stuck dying. It is literally a BAD idea to level Str or Magic buffs beyond about 50 or 60. (maybe this changes later, but for the most part this chokes off all the other abilities) Yet once you buy the increased cap, you are now stuck with an overly high level buff which can't be used due to cost.

pt 2 critique: On a design side, the game quickly become an inventory management chore beyond belief, and there is no way to expand it outside of a couple initial expansions.... yet at the same time we are REQUIRED to go through multiple grinds of re-leveling inventory equipment. Sorry but this is just bad design for a game with hundreds of equipment pieces, situational magic resistances, and random enchants which make many pieces of gear unique. Add MANY more inventory slots.

The game is deeply flawed. On the technical side, when the window is not visible, it does not let the game progress properly (if time advances t all, ti's at about 25% the passage of actual time). SO we constantly have progress stolen as punishment for not keeping the game on top the whole time? It's really not much of an idle game. I'm pissed because I just lost half a day of progress (again) due to the game not running when it is off-screen for ANY reason.

couldnt help myself here but if this game can be played on phone would be great, else buy another laptop and launch game on that than watch videos/research on main computer lol. technology getting cheaper nowadays especially the outdated stuff, but they still work fine lol! thats only if kong is compatible with mobile phones but think im asking for to much here.. maybe in future! not sure about this but if is only program running for a windows user will it work? im thinking it seperates programs if used by another user, but maybe not. if there was way configure it but maybe thats to much. if cant find another way play this game to your preference than rip. least I tried offer a solution but if not work for you find a different game play or do something else. thanks!

there is a bug where ice/thunder net x60 stacks sell for 0 gold lols.. I had the normal spider pet automatically buy nets to, not sure why is doing it but yea.. is not really a grind for me since I play mobile games/take care of health/go out/etc, and this isnt my only computer.

Dear Dev, I can somewhat live with the slow progress of the game, also with the game eating up resources of my device. But please repair the save feature! I hate it losing hours of progress and rare items because I do not want to spam my cloud with tons of IEH-files by saving every minute by hand!

Some skill combos dont work well. Like double slash/sonic slash somehow cant work in magicslime city, so as chilling touch/ice bolt in some area. It works sometimes but not in all areas.

For data: I killed Florzporb between days 9 and 10 using a Wizard LV 100 with a LV 24 Fire Brooch a LV 30 cloth shoes and other mostly ignorable equipment, Staff Attack LV 100, Fire Bolt LV 104, Double Thunder Bolt LV 30. Warrior LV 97 and Angel LV 137 had both rebirth 1ed at least twice. Potion used: LV 13 Basic Elixir of Brains.

@faezzi As for things you /could/ be missing, Area Mission Milestones, Lab Upgrades and Dictionary come to mind as possibilities. Also whatever the next thing is to unlock on the Guild is possible, depending on your guild level. There is also quite a bit of stuff locked behind pets (such as much of the mid-later Guild levels) that may not be obvious at first.
