Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Potions, why not use

It’s random, but random can feel very streaky. We’re trying to come up with alternate ways to keep legendary feeling legendary without feeling frustrating.

Regarding end game, grinding for gear isn’t our ultimate end game, it’s just one of the few things to do while we continue to finish the content. You can see the list of what we have planned here: http://www.dungeonblitz.com/forums/topic/500-upcoming-feature-list/

We’re also open to suggestions for other things you’d like to see during the end game.

I just tried getting on from another computor. I can get on from it, but I can’t use the original computor to get on. Since I can’t use this computor all the time, the problem still needs to be fixed, but I hope this helps you figure out what it is.

If either of you are still having this problem, please send me an email at support@bluemammothgames.com so that we can run some diagnostics. Thanks!

How does it pick the item quality after the item is picked or rolled on? Does it roll to decide what item you get and then somehow decide the rarity? I’m in boss running in Yornak and i’ve easily killed him 120 times with 182% item find. I have the full set for the gloves, rare and magic robe along with the rare and magic staff. There are only 2 items with one remaining quality to drop from Yornak himself. I understand its just bad luck but i’m also not quite understanding how the drop system works.

thanks

Here are the rates it uses and some explanation: http://www.dungeonblitz.com/forums/topic/893-rarelegendary-item-drops/

It rolls to see if there is a drop. If there is, it rolls quality. If there are items at that quality level you don’t have, it picks one randomly from that list. If you have cleared the loot table at the quality level you rolled, it goes down a quality searching for the next best thing to drop. Does that make sense?

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Game quality needs to be selectable.

Unfortunately, it’s basically impossible with our engine at the moment. We had to gut Flash to get it to perform decently at all. We are working on a Flash 11 port that should make it possible in the future.

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Suggestion to be able to change keys

We’re going to make this happen.

IGN: Vainamoinen.

What happens if you try a different browser? Also, maybe closing a few other programs or tabs can help with memory. If neither of those do the trick, shoot me an email at support@bluemammothgames.com and I can try to help debug further.

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Tak Ogg

20 minutes plus you have to clear the room to get him to spawn again. We plan on replacing his spawn location with a mini-dungeon to make it easier. Rare spawn camping isn’t something we want people to be forced to do.

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Crafting Statistical Analysis

Very cool stuff, thanks for doing this :)

Sorry to hear it. A few questions to see if I can help. Also, feel free to email me at support@bluemammothgames.com and I can help you out.

What browser are you using and do you have the latest version of Flash?
What happens if you use the zoom out feature to make your screen smaller?
Did this start happening recently, or have you never been able to load a dungeon?
Are you running near the memory capacity of your machine?

Thanks!

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Couple of points

No worries, glad it got sorted out :)

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Bot playing trolls already?

Don’t worry, bots get taken care of. As with everything, we want it to be better and make tracking easier, but it is something we take seriously and punish harshly.

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / what to do, too weak for Dreadfells

We have another 6 zones planned and other features on the way. Collecting gear and going for five stars are generally what we hear most people do in the meantime.

Use the Magic/Rare/Legendary sorting tabs to see the other versions. If you have a higher rarity version it shows that in the “Best” view.

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Couple of points

I think you’re just missing a side room along the way. If the dungeon complete, you got credit for the boss room.

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Dungeon Blitz Wiki

Our goal is to keep it as self explanatory as possible. We’ll be putting more resources on the web when we get time (bestiary, armory, etc.)

Just killed some dragon and in that moment game crash.I reborn before dungeon.This is normal way how u play this game folks?

We’re planning to address that, but also that crash bug got introduced in our latest patch. It has since been fixed. Thank you for the heads up.

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Couple of points

Awesome, thanks for this list. I’ll make sure it gets put on a todo-list.

Yes, UI overlap is still something we need to address. We only have three levels which does a pretty good job, but a true priority will probably work better.

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Suggestions (Dodge & Chests)

Dodge: It’s something we will consider. Part of our advanced class system involves augmenting existing powers, so that might be the easiest way for us to make that an option.

Chests: Yes, we are going to make this change.

Sometimes enemies “revived” after 3-5 seconds, especially tough ones.

That’s internet lag which we also try to minimize, but will vary day to day. We were hoping to address client lag with this patch.

Originally posted by naqeft:

Definitely noticed a difference, mainly when out of combat.

Now if only there was quality control so I could set it to low to get more fps. I’m on a pretty slow computer.

We’re also working on that as well. If you use your browser zoom settings, I believe that can help.

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Client Performance Patch - 9/25

We just pushed out a client patch to address performance lag and choppiness. The improvements should be most noticeable in-combat, out of combat near lots of other players, and when fighting creatures with giant lightning attacks. Please let us know if you notice a difference as it will help guide our optimization steps moving forward. Thanks!

Is there a way where I can view my characters stats?
(Achievements, and training that I’ve completed)

There are only a handful of achievements right now just to test the system. We have a much more comprehensive system coming and it will have its own UI.

The training we are still trying to figure out a way to view that isn’t a giant mess :)

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Trainers and vendors location

I’ll get this added to our list. Should be easy enough to add. Thanks!

I just have to say, you guys are doing a great job on this game. =)
I would love to have gear sets—if nothing else, one for combat, and one to look good. I hope we get at least 2 or 3 for free, and more if we want to pay.

Thanks! That sounds like the kind of implementation we would end up doing.

Originally posted by TheRelic:

Looks like there is space for icons above the character picture in the Back Pack screen, that you could set up for say 5 gear loadouts. A number tile with PLUS (+)? to set current gear to this loadout set and the number tile to switch to that gear loadout would make a nice quick set up that people would find simple enough to use.

So you would merely need to switch to the back pack screen and click on the number you wanted to use.

Sounds like a great spot for it. Thank you!

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Can I change my name?(Also)

Currently no, but we plan to add this feature eventually.

Topic: Dungeon Blitz / Quick Weapon Change Suggestion

We do plan to add user defined gear sets that players can switch between. To what extent this can be done in combat is still under discussion.
