Well now that I've grinded through 22 levels here are a few things I've seen. Before I add anything though I'm playing on a crappy laptop with govn't internet so I don't see a lot of the stuff other may see, or hear for that matter. I've noticed the battles sometimes have to be refreshed, maybe because of my internet I don't know. The e-mail system, I had tons and tons of in-game e-mails saying I won battles, yeah I won them so I know lol. It seems to me that that could possibly cause a lot of issues, like slowing the site down due to the sheer amount of accumulated e-mails. Is there a reason you get a battle report everytime you win a battle? The yetis!! At lvl 15 those damn yetis seem more like 25!-gosh. The mammoth pet; it's stats are awsome, are they just for show? My pet hits like a new born with 170 str! Whats up with that? I've also noticed a big gap between the damage given to some monsters vs other monsters. I can smack an orc for 130, then turn around and hit him for 62. Is there a minimum and maximum damage range for weapons? Another thing, gear. I've noticed that most of the emerald gear adds STR, but it doesn't show it when you scan yourself. DEF is the same way, with all the emerald gear I should have well over 100 DEF but it tops out at 78 for some reason. I've noticed that monsters have massive amounts of HP and still have awsome stats, is there going to be a stat boost for players? I had to put most of my atribute points into DEX just to hit anything 15 or higher and if I want to ever get a turn I have to put the rest into SPD. That leaves me with 150 HP vs an orc with 1600 HP and 700 mana. All in all I think you are doing very well and I know this is beta testing thats why I'm leaving these comments. Just some things to think about and/or consider. See ya in-game!

you can turn off the recieve email function you know. As for the rest of the stats, I seen the same thing. Especially the mammoth, thing had more str then I did at one time yet it did less damage, lol.

I'm glad you like that Yeti. It can't be that bad a monster since you survived up to level 22... Which reminds me, I need to move the Yeti's bigger brother into play...

The monsters definately need a tweaking, I was unsure how to build the stats where they wouldn't be too strong, it is a tough balancing act. It helps getting people's feedback, though. Especially those who have gotten past level 20.

I've also noticed that with monsters that have over 100 def it's hard to actually damage them. For instance my pet will hit one of those yetis for 0 points a lot of times. I haven't tried the greater yeti yet because I had so much trouble just on the lvl 15 yeti. I noticed the greater had 250 def/str...I'm really wondering if I'll be able to hit it at all. Another thing I've noticed it that the higher dex/eva the monsters have the higher dex you need to actually be able to hit them. With the greater yeti having so high of these 2 stats, We might be a bit outclassed. I'll go check it out and let you know if I get my ass handed to me.- Well I see you did a bit o revising on the big brother, I can hit him but his heal is overpowered. his first cast is the heal and it does 80+ healing a turn so it pretty much nullifies my attacks lol. I believe it lasts for 5-6 turns so I figure about a 45-50 minute battle and he'll run out of mana haha. The tower is definitly a group spot. I will officially rename my mammoth to Poser because though his stats scream "I will stomp you" he's as gentle as a kitten lol.

I need to check if I made that 'Ice Ball' spell available for sale, as it knocks down both speed and defense, and does at very good job at it at higher levels... Another tactic you can try is to gang up on the beasties and form battle parties of multiple players to go hunting...

Edit: both the 'Ice Ball' and 'Magic Shield' are available, you just need to find the right shop that sells them..

I believe I saw ice ball for sale at a town, I dunno about magic shield, I'll see how they do against the higher lvl monsters here soon.

Good lord, I battled a lesser yeti, greater yeti and an orc. Took me about 45 mins total. The "ice ball" spell is having a (-0 def -0 spd) effect on everything I cast it on, including the lvl 15 yeti. The healing spell and/or mana compacity of the greater yeti is really high. He can keep 3 people up for quite a long time until he runs out of mana. I noticed that he hits real hard as well, with his duel swords. He can take my pet that has 100 def out with 1 turn, thats over 250 HP. The gold for killing those 3 was far less then the gold out of the cave down south and those creatures are 7-8 levels lower. If the tower is for lvl 20+ why is the lvl 15 yeti even there? Also if hermit's rest will be the intermediate area between the lower places and the tower the greater yeti is a bit overkill for that area. At lvl 22, with a 21 pet I have a hard time just killing there so I can imagine a lvl 15 with no where else to fight. I noticed the orc is lvl 24, could he be moved to the tower in the place of the lesser yeti? Just some stuff I saw and thought might help. I also noticed that my pet can't learn "Ice ball" or "Nova" y? I use my pet as a heal/spell bot since I have found no better way so far of killing these higher lvl creatures.

"Ice ball" and "Magic shield" are available at the Hermit's rest shops.

I gotta say from what I've played so far this looks absolutely great......I haven't noticed any errors so far, it's been pretty smooth. I did have the same thing happening though where the attack menu kept popping up and down, which kind of messed up the background parameters....but that's been about it.

Grinded to 24 today, I like the addition of the Doppelganger to Hermit's rest, it adds a support monster to the others that can't heal and makes it a bit tougher^^and it's not overpowering. The new Trample pet attack type works good and now I know what ARD stands for :P I did think that the Berserk ability was a bit high on the combat ability list though, unless you save your points until 19, you can't purchase it. Thinking about rerolling my character when I hit 30 to try the new stuff like abilities and spells now that I know what they do and how to use them.

I'm getting my character wiped so I can group with a few of you lower level people and help out a bit, also to test things with a fresh start.
