Notes on the beta
Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2011 2:02 am
Not sure if there needs to be a one-thread-per-person feedback thing, but I don't see a general one set up, so here's my dump after playing for many hours today
-------------------
Doesn't indicate my progress along individual missions (where I have to do finish several dungeons to complete it)? (either in the mission descriptions in the tavern or the level select map)
finding the positioning (pisorf) puzzle hard
an option to turn off text popups would be nice, I'm on my >8th playthrough now.
got it eventually, after lotsa tries
made some sense : )
experience puzzle was much easier for me (first go)
the game didn't remember that I beat it (there was a connection error when I was going back to the world, but I hit 'retry' and it proceeded ok, except that it forgot what I had done)
tried again, got acknowledgement.
I wonder if this is why I'm not making any recognised progress on the proper quests
i can't upgrade the blacksmith's but it doesn't tell me why
advisor tells me that there're new adventures in the explorer's guild, but there aren't
Not being able to see race descriptions when upgrading from level 0 made me far more wary about buying level 1 race holds [and, now that I have, I don't fully appreciate the varied uses of the different classes and haven't had any external incentive (in the form of a mission, say - so far the ones that I've seen have all been class based) yet to try them out.
Went to an altar of light - it tells me all the shit I'm doing wrong, but I can't figure out how to earn piety :/ (also i picked up a full heal potion and got some slap on the wrists - don't know if that nullifies everything or not ) [ok, I found pointers on the wiki]
At the kingdom map, it rarely occurs to me to click on the city to go back to the city - I keep on clicking on the menu option - might be clearer when the graphics are in though : )
I wish the quest lists on the kingdom view listed the class you need to complete them
Sometimes (quite rarely) the 'save/dead' preview doesn't work right - I die after killing someone that says 'safe', or sometimes if I have something like that and mouse-over it again the status is different (I've only ever noticed it changing from dead to safe)
On one level with the glowing guardian I was only able to decrease my level once - on other levels I was able to do it many times - I don't understand why...
Feeling a bit fatigued now. Too much desktop dungeons for me today. I've stopped making progress and amn't in my current state of mind much appreciating the intricacies of the current frontiers - have 7 dungeons completed. Will play some more tomorrow, for sure.
