I'm sooo happy to hear this Paul. Syncing games would just make the excellent perfect. Hope that neither Apple nor technical difficulties stand in the way of this happening.
Haha, everyone is downloading it at the same time. It's going to take me 25 minutes to download 45 meg!! EDIT: So c'mon, when the hell will the next major update get released then huh???
Downloaded, loving the screen flipping and other goodies, exit to tweet my excitement, return to fargoal... Loads into a black screen EDIT: found the issue; I set the video to "on". The black screen was actually the intro video. Once it played I was back to the menu to fix it. Must be an issue in the 4.0beta. Back to the dungeons!!
OK so what does a smouldering fire pit do then!?? Think I just encountered a small bug.... found a 'detect traps' spell and pushed the button in the top-right of the screen to activate it but my avatar just fell asleep for a few seconds. Weird.
Pleasures, New Stuff, and Freezes Playing Paul My Hero on iPad at 2x res. Lucky enough to roll 18 s on HP and Skill. Went through Training to check it out. Very well done and attractive. Then went to my quest, or tried to. Complete freeze. Restarted iPad and all was fine. Went down to dungeon 2 and complete freeze again. Pressed Home button and restarted game. Went well until I descended again. Freeze again. Home and restarted and all was smooth until I descended. Ditto. Haven't started a game on the iPhone yet, so don't yet know if the freezes happen on that device. After freezes the game returns to exactly where it left off. Goodies: New olive green with orange tints dungeon floor is beautiful, thanks Paul. I very much like the new baddies I've encountered early on -- the lizard man and the killer wasp. The gargoyles look prettier and scarier with their new color and startling blue eyes. I don't understand the smoldering fire pits. I stand on them and nothing happens, nothing I can notice anyway. Hope this is helpful and look forward to others' feedback.
The Lizardman looks COOOOOOOL. Nice new colors too! Just the stair flickering is STILL there That's everything I found so far, but will play the whole night THANKS!
Doffie, it's freezing on a new game, when going down stairs? "Freeze?" Can you describe what that means? I've tested a ton and haven't encountered any problems... but there's always something, right? The fire pits are just more atmospheric lighting in the earthy caves... FOR NOW! But you know... braziers, fire pits... fire eh? Maybe fire will be important down the road... you think? EDIT: There is new stuff, but this is mostly a bug-fix update. The next update will be a biggie.
I've had all of 5 mins. with v1.3 but here's 2 observations: If I have my 3rd gen. Touch upside down when the intro video plays, the video doesn't flip to match screen orientation. Level 1 dungeon: 10 chests: 8 exploded, 1 had 14gp, 1 was empty. Ok...3 observations: The world's most useless vault (next to Al Capone's). 1 rubble pile and nothing in the rubble. I do like the new critters.
Freeze means that the hero cannot move at all, the onscreen button cannot be pressed, nor van the pause/continue button. Only alternative is the home button and a game restarted. Problem did not occur when I went down from dungeon 3 to dungeon 4 -- only going from Training to Choose Quest, and descending from dungeon 1 to 2 and from 2 to 3. Will start a new game on the iPhone and see if this behavior occurs again; suppose it might be specific to the new version played on the iPad, although I don't know if that makes sense to you. Also, when I begin a game on the Pad the screen stays totally black for a pretty long time with the music playing but no visuals. Happens at both 1x and 2x resolutions. Jeez, those gargoyles get stronger really fast at the lower levels!
Still wondering.... I haven't encountered this myself, but I noticed a lot of iTunes reviews mention this.
I figured out why my hero would just fall asleep for no reason..... sleeping gas now only makes you groggy meaning you will fall asleep shortly after. Nice touch. I love how random this game is.... I got the spiritbane amulet on the very first floor inside a vault and on level 4 I found a macabre shield. Not sure what fear does to enemies though...? Anyway, there goes my social life again....
It's something that's not supposed to appear, but has. Where/how did you get it? Old game or new? etc. EDIT: Let me guess... you found it inside of a crushed chest? medianotzu, every update I try to fix all the bugs, of course. And hopefully I found most of the crash bugs that existed in 1.2.
Paul, so far no black screen at start and no freezes on the iPhone. iPad-specific issue perhaps? New iPhone hero, Rachel, seems happy, as all Rachels should be.
