I actually never use it anymore because [before this update that I haven't even downloaded yet because I just got the Razr Maxx] it was basically impossible for me to die. However, I used to use it and it was quite helpful. I imagine the game would me way harder and more reminiscent of pre-ROM or game genie Nintendo games.

Chest, you should download the update. Lot's of fun to be had. :D

Even though it would make the game more challenging, it has come to my notice that it is those that complain about the game being too easy and make suggestions that they say would make the game "harder" are the same ones that are so passionate about not changing the game's save system to disallow save-cheating.

I'd have to say that if they would just stop save-cheating, they would find the game more challenging and not want the game to be "harder".

Just an observation. ;)

The problem, I think, is that it is hard to find a happy medium that, regardless of save cheating, won't make the game impossible while at the same time won't just require more grinding time to make it easy again. I think that happy medium must lie in the quests and puzzles and such; beefing up monsters and eliminating saves only adds time, not difficulty.

I have the game on my new phone [It stinks setting up a new phone] but I am still struggling to move my save file over...

Not entirely true.

1.) it's not cheating.

2.) I think the game is at a perfect difficulty. though I wouldn't mind the spiders being a tad easier.

Lol the spiders used to not be capped at 7. They really sucked then, could get you down to 0 AD and AC quickly. Only resort after that is flee or death lol.

It has been decided that the saving system will remain as is, no changes.

Happy Hunting!
