Axiem posted:I think what happens is you decide to buy "something" for 10 diamonds, and it randomly picks one of the items on the top two shelves. Yeah the item thing sucks. But I have bought 5 today with friend points, so it not too bad. I'm working on my magical murder mage v2 by saving my points for when a good 5* weapon shows up. You get diamonds for clearing a raid area. Saving caged heroes. Weekly log in rewards. And I think you can watch up 25-50 ads a day, each gives a diamond.

Yeah, I've definitely watched like... probably 60 videos today. (While watching TV/doing other things.) Using gems on equipment buys will probably roll the first couple of rows, using friendship rolls all the rows. And you can switch between classes in the interface, too. Some extra tips regarding rarity that might or might not be immediately obvious to people:

I keep common heroes with elements of 9 or higher. Especially star element common heroes. Sometimes I want a 4 cost hero to fill a team.

So if I understand it correctly, each character I want to put on a raid comes with a cost, and I only have so many points to spend on a party, right? How do I increase that point count? It doesn't seem like I can use any of my good characters because they're all too expensive. Also, is there a way to switch out my characters' abilities? I don't have a Priest with Spring of Mana, and it'd be nice to have one to try and figure out how to get these raids to go.

It doesn't seem like I can use any of my good characters because they're all too expensive. When you level up your cost limits goes up. And each raid area has a certain baseline cost. Each hero just has one ability. I got my first spring of mana priest from raid reward quest. So I think if you push forward you will get one pretty early.

The collecting stuff that falls in battle is tedious. Does letting it vanish mean it's gone or you just collect it slower?

Gold/treasure/heroes you can just rub your finger across the screen. And I just hover my finger just above the enemy.

I let penny's rot unless something better shows up. Money can be collected by just wiping over the screen like mentioned, everything else has to be clicked or you loose it, even the last boss.

Hey that one goon re: that one game clearly superior to this faraway kingdom thing, Battle Cats, you absolutely can continue to level your guys/skills by maxing their level, using one of the cat capsule upgrades, then leveling them up more. I did this with the Efficiency skill and it's clearly getting better (and also raises the amount of money needed to go up to the next income rate during a game).

Just beat Dream Quest with the sickest Monk build. I had just the right number of cards so that after getting my Prayers up I played all my cards every turn. Protean stays on the table and automatically brings out the rest of my cards (no doubles) when my turn starts. My +Draw cards eventually get me back to Protean, which goes right back on the table before the next turn. This would have worked even better if I wasn't using the Prayers for most of my damage, but I played tons of Mana, massive overhealing, faster Prayer ticks, and the best damage cards I could find every turn so it was good enough. This game is seriously well designed, my goodness. I feel like I just broke it, but even then I had to avoid some stuff and certain bosses would have just been game over.

Thoughts on Dragon Quest IV? For some reason I'm only really capable of putting extended periods of time into vertically oriented games, I'm not sure why. I remember playing it back in the day and enjoying it but I'm pretty sure I only got through a few chapters. It's Dragon Quest VIII a better bet? I would probably only end up with one.

Thank god I also have an iPad because if I only had the phone to play Baldurs Gate 1 I'd have no chance. The squinting to make out the text isn't too horrific but the buttons require pinpoint precision to use and good loving luck getting the side bars back up (which I literally failed to manage after giving it five minutes trying) when you inevitably accidentally drop them. Why even bother making the drat thing universal?

I really enjoyed it. The plot is somewhat simple but the characters are really charming and engaging. The party chat adds a lot to it as well. It's pretty lengthy as well. Took me about 35 hours. Never played VIII though so can't compare.

You're choosing between two of the very best games on iOS, it's hard to go wrong with either one.

And how do you expect users to use controllers if no software supports them? It's a stupid chicken and egg problem and it's definitely not the fault of end users. No one buys controllers because no games make them usable, no games implement controllers because no one owns them. Even the ones that do implement controllers tend to do a lovely job of of it (iCade support was always kind of crappy). Basically if developers aren't going to address it on their own, Apple is going to have to enforce it or iOS controllers will never go anywhere.

Battle Cats: got axe cat to the equivalent of level 30, used a capsule axe cat again and got this  So I think you really need to save those cat capsules, because it looks like the only way to get to level 40, which gives you their final form("true form" so I saw somewhere I think) Also in faraway as dogballs seeing as duckfarts isn't allowed

Bungle! certainly can't use it and Drive to Hell theoretically could but it's a vertical scrolling game instead of horizontal so that's out. I can't imagine supporting the controllers is any harder than doing controller support on the PC...which is honestly a giant pain in the rear end but once you do it the first time it gets easier.
