How about having a toast pop up before the screen change?
Or, better yet... How about a unique splatter image for our hero?
Example: you take lethal damage...
The hero splatters...
A toast pops up about your unconscious state...
THEN we see the hero getting out of bed.

Reminds me off the unseen mob attack. which occurs when you open up the inventory and do something that lowers your AP below "min AP to take any further action". The mob attack should begin half a second after going back to map screen.

Re: Ideas for The Meeting... (Sunday, the 24th)
Nice ideas.. I like the torch oneDarkSavant13 wrote:Things I picked up from the reviews on Google Play...
-Disable finger direction (slide/tap) control when using d-pad (maybe add option for that)
-More Lvl 15-30 quests to alleviate boredom.
-More frequent updates, saw A LOT of these, so... (Suggest giving players updates twice as often, splitting the planned update in two. This gives the illusion of more frequent updates even though it is really just the one.)
-Lower Experience Loss (maybe start it at 25% instead of 30%, Failure skill would need to be modified also)
-Retrain Option (allow resetting of skill points every 50 levels for cost, ie. 50k gold@50, 500k gold@100, etc.. Do not allow level up stats to be changed)
-World Map/Fast Travel/Placetags
-Explanation of Combat System ("Game Instructions" talked about in thread)
-Needs Sound stars lost from lack of sound. Some say AT's boring because of it, one guy even says he fell asleep (add Music/Environmental Sound/Mute Sound options)
-Black Dungeons (some say the dark dungeons killed the game for them. Is there any way to carry something like a torch to illuminate 3x3 maybe?)
These aren't necessarily my complaints/ideas, though there are some I would love to see implemented. I just added some basic suggestions for dealing with them. These are complaints/suggestions from the Google Play comments. Some of these items we have discussed here, on the forums, but I thought I'd try to help be the voice of those there that haven't made it to the forums.
I guess you could say that these are subjects they might like to see in the meetings.
*edit* Sorry about that. Was concentrating so hard on what those at Google Play were saying, I didn't even realize I was the last one to post.

It just hit me, why we cant implement part of this idea like this.Pyrizzle wrote:Nyktos:THIS IDEA!Pyrizzle wrote:Suggestion:
Adding a dialog box that pops up only when you get a Legendary or Extraordinary Item
"Hmmmm what is this?.... This could be useful." or something to that nature.
I have seen support for this addition and personally would like to see it added to the game.
You gained item. (in here you get 1 rare item)
You gained 10 item. (in here you gained 10 items, which the best one is legendary).
So the best item you gain is the color if you get multiple items. otherwise its just he item you get.

Re: Ideas for The Meeting... (Sunday, the 24th)
So far I haven't restarted a character or gone back to a very early save from 6.10 but through all the levels I have found things can turn into too much of a slog.
With the latest release, for example, with the plaguecrawler things the fight just takes forever as I then the mob take turns in missing each other! And the slog feeling is reinforced by the need to grind for experience points to level up and acquire new skills (every 4 levels - feels too long to me).
Whilst in development this is ok but your meeting could discuss how the final product should balance the slog/grind versus instant reward/kill.

Re: Ideas for The Meeting... (Sunday, the 24th)
An option to impliment as opposed to creating a whole slew of lvl 1 thru 10 quest could be to impliment invisible barriers.
The same barriers that are used to prevent the hero from entering a cave before a part of the quest is complete could prevent a young player from crossing a threshold prior to meeting an experience minimum.
Obviously this won't prevent a weak player from quickly getting killed, but it will prevent a level 5 hero from even getting past the guard to try and enter the Fallhaven prison (for example).
Examples of barriers could follow lines similar to update releases.

Ie. lvl 1 challenge? Also, if players can themself decide if they want to go to new area, it gives them the challenge they want. Giving limits before you can move to next area, would propably frustrate some people and think of it as "forced grinding".

I want a slog! Is it furry or scaly? Oooooo! What color are they? Can they be trained? Are they smart like a parrot or cuddly like a koala?

It could be implimented such that a player just needs more experience to get there.duallifes wrote:I am not keen on preventing from players to do things.ScorpionZ wrote:An option to impliment as opposed to creating a whole slew of lvl 1 thru 10 quest could be to impliment invisible barriers.

Those areas could be blocked by a popup that says something like, "This forest looks a little dark. I'll come back later." Or, "As you attempt to enter, you hear something that causes you to turn away."
Obviously, these are just ideas.
