Thinking of finally getting this since it's dropped to 99c. Just wondering how the graphics are? I'm checking gameplay videos and trailers and somehow I'm not sure what the real quality of graphics are. The graphics in this trailer are the best I've seen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9LI75p9J08 but I think these are being run on the PC judging from the info. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njKRC51s4qc looks pretty good too, and I think these are for the iOS. Are the graphics really that crisp and the colors well defined and shaded? In other gameplay videos, they're not. But I'm thinking if it's simply the poor quality of the other videos. I plan to play this on the iPad by the way.
There is a graphics slider in the options menu, so you can bring it up to our mobile trailers' level of quality or down lower for better performance.
I apologize if this has already been answered somewhere in the last 300 pages of this thread! I picked up this game in the 99 cent sale and am enjoying it so far, though I agree with the original TA review that the camera controls are a pain in rear to use, and very confusing. But the issue I'm having is that, if I quit the game in the middle of a level -- say, after 4 out of 6 waves or whatever -- then when I come back to the game I find myself back in the tavern again and I have to start the level over from scratch. Is there a way around this that I'm missing? Having to play an entire level in one sitting really seems like a major limitation in a mobile game.
Is it me or does that mobile trailer run a lot faster than the actual game for the iphone/ipad? Like miles better with that much action on screen.
Wow, just wow you have to restart your device every single time you want to play. The german translation is soo bad, stop using google translator to do the translate job >.> And it LAGS LIKE HELL... Rly whaddafu?
Thanks for responding. Well I plan to play it on my iPad and not an older device. I assume my device would be capable of running the game smoothly with the highest graphics setting, or wouldn't it? Does the game still lag on newer devices? Also, does it lag on both multiplayer and single player? Hopefully someone who plays it on an iPad can share to me his/her experiences.
It lags on both my iPad, and iPod touch 4g when graphics slider maxed. Bit lags in single and in multi especially on levels like the throne room. Sucks but playable till fixed. Off topic, I can't wait for my lost heroes pet, mines gonna be a huntress hybrid yay
Lag is when you press a button and then have to wait for something to happen (which is most commonly caused by network problems during online play.) Do you mean that you are experiencing slowdown?
Hmm.. so I assume you're playing it with graphics toned down then. How does it look on that setting? Judging from your post, I guess you're not experiencing lags. What device are you playing it on and are you tinkering on the graphics slider? You mentioned online play. Do you mean you don't experience lags on single player?
I am playing version 4.2 on my iPhone 4. I have no input lag at all, even with the slider turned all the way up. I get signifigant slowdown with the slider all the way up. I have 1.0 on my iPad and I've never had input lag on that either.
I have played this game very little so far, so forgive a basic question. If one wants to level and gain power quickly while soloing, does one need to pick-up and bank all mana & items? It felt like sort of a grind to keep running back and forth between mana and the forge, and to find all items after each wave. It seems like if you dont pick up the items and mana they dissappear, at least after you complete the last wave of the level?
Picking up things and selling them and storing mana will only allow you to buy stuff and level up your weapons, you have to gain experience by killing stuff and getting through levels to level up (unless of course you somehow saved enough mana to buy the experience boost).
lag ok lemme clear it up on my side. i do not mean input lag, i have none of that. it is graphical lag aka slowdown and it sucks majorly. when slider is max it lags too much to play on some maps on any of my ios devices. with slider to the middle, graphics still look "ok" but not nearly as good as when maxed, but with settings like this i only have minor, if any, slowdone at all. hopefuly they fix it up a little to get rid of all the slowdown cuz the game looks fantastic when maxed and just decent when graphic bar halved.
Equipments and Mana that remain on the ground when switching to combat phase are automatically distributed into the bank among all the players in the game. So you don't have to worry about manually collecting those things at the end of a wave in order to increase your bank (though if you dont' spot-check the loot that's been dropped, you might miss some good stuff that you'll want to use!). As for XP grinding, the next patch about to debut (4.3) increases the XP earnings significantly as you are given XP for completing Waves and earning Awards (wave bonuses), something that was left out of 4.2. Hopefully 4.3 will hit later today! Cheers, Jer
And like I pointed out above, it's not called lag, it's called slowdown. I'm not saying this in a grammar police kind of way, rather, the developer of the game is in this thread, so if there's a problem, let's tell him the right way so he can fix it (to the best of his ability.)
Choppy and/or framerate issues is what I see. I didnt know the items left on the ground were autobanked among players. Good to know! I was picking it ALL up. LOL.
