Andor's Trail

*cries epically,

T.T i inadvertedly started a new game, because i realized i was gonna try full on tank style, so i leveled up,.. and, and... T.T i saved over my old game... and i was aready so far into it,

o well, atleast now i can do things a but differently and use the Scythe when i get to that point.

The importance of backups and multiple saves cannot be overstated. Sorry for your loss.

*nods, yeah i normally save a back up when i do this... but... i didn't realize until after it happened.

PSA
IT IS OF MAJOR IMPORTANCE TO BACK UP YOUR SAVE FILES AS ZUKERO HATH MENTIONED ABOVE

:3 at least i can start over. i think i rushed it last time, so i am gonna take more time grinding the rats until i get 3500 or so gold.

I have a backup of all my AT savegames. And I have a backup of that backup (seriously).

Install, for example, Dropbox, on your phone. Every now and then, copy your entire andors-trail folder to the Dropbox folder. It will automatically be backed up to the cloud. You can then smash your phone, throw it in a lake, set fire to it, or whatever, and your savegames will be safe.

*nods, i just transfer it to my laptop, and then transfer it to my external hard drive. but the only issue is accidently deleting it when i do my yearly cleaning. :O

---edited to add...

i am also tempted to test your theory if earth, water, and fire... :3

---edited again to add,
i don't mind starting over again... i mean i am sure by the time the next big update comes, i should be caught up with my first. :3

Me too. Google Drive is my friend. My original character has survived 3 or 4 phones because I am meticulous with my saving and backing up.

All 10 of my characters are backed up in Google Drive. After completing all new content, or gaining a legendary or extraordinary item, I back up the file.

*nods, i shall back up once i catch up to the previous one's level, the back up again once i catch up to the previous one's quest completion. Which then back up after each completed quest. :3 or obtained Ledendary items.

a personal thing...

Save the game bevore every levelup to a new savegame (which is then correlating with your actuall level).
Overwrite the first 2 or 4 savegame positions for actual game savepoints one/two Chars. Use the option to ask when overwriting savegames with different names.

So it is very unlikely to override a well developed Char with a new started second Char (with different name).

Doing this for years and even if I decide to go a different char development way, I don't have to start from the beginning.
