Another suggestion for FAQ - could you list what every stat does, please? :)

It is there. See "How do my stats increase after upgrading the skill levels and what are the starting values?".

No eye drops for you! Got 19 coins from your body instead while walking through my forest, lol :p

Seeing this more closely, I just realized why thieves for instance that got level ups are super hard to die now. (if you check global stats indeed, they rarely die)
This seems so OOOPP :
per agility point -> -5% to your enemy's hit chance (should probably be -2-3% for balance)
Defence is useless compared to this.
Since it's probably cumulative, you just stack points there to become almost invincible after a level or two. :O
I do hope this has a decent "cap" for the enemies.
You only need healing potions to survive status effects afterwards. xD

There is one thing: each enemy has it's own stats (including agility, accuracy) too. The Game is a little bit more complex than it might seem at first :p
Your high Agility will not help much against enemies with high Accuracy as they will hit often anyway and thus Defence and Magic defence would be more important. All skills are important, up to you to decide how to develop your hero.

this time I'm unlucky :/ and this is too hard ;_;
3 times died in 10 steps ..

The Game is quite hard, yes, but rewarding :) It will be a bit easier once you pass the beginning part and get your first upgrades.

All special Abilities now also recharge after each resurrection (including resurrection with items)! This should be especially helpful for Mages and Barbarians as they will get additional EP or HP boost accordingly.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nice. When this game is finished I'd really like to know the formulae of these abilities by the way. How much % the hp/ep steal is. Keep in mind that characters are almost always with most of their HP in order to survive, but rarely with much EP left since it is spent all the time on moving/checking/combat.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, you'll be able to drain whatever they have left :) It wouldn't be fair to drain the whole amount of energy from someone ih he had max EP, you always steal just part of it. Barbarians steal only part of the HP as well.
Comment has been collapsed.
Of course. However you should really consider re-comparing the formulae (if you already haven't).
Besides, it's not exactly the same stealing from a pool of 70++ HP points (average of most players at most points in the game or even more when talking about barbarian HP), and from a pool of 0-10 energy points (the average of most players at most points in the game) is it? I'd change my EP steal with a HP steal any day without regrets. It's an ability which really does too little to be effective. You can easily steal 0 or 1 EP which is simply nothing.
Personally I'd remove it completely as an ability from the game, since energy is sucked anyway from all players one way or the other. Think about it.
Comment has been collapsed.
The abilities work a little differently from what you described ;) And you can't steal 0 EP :)

Is it even possible to catch frogs? Failed more than 5 times already. :O Am I that much clumsy???
Perhaps agility or something is needed. :P

11 turns or you need to use a special items. By turns I mean checks/steps.

Damn people poisoning me, I come back and I'm poisoned and lost some hp, back to 2 hp. I think i'll just die and not use the antidote...
edit: joining the game when poisoned triggers it. :s
Comment has been collapsed.
What do you mean by people poisoning you? No class has such ability. You must have been poisoned earlier :p
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe, but then I didn't notice. :P
Does the giant rat poison you?

But still joining the game triggering the poison is painful. :(

It's a classic bug in these kind of games. Status effects re-apply if you close the game and rejoin. I've seen it in too many games to be honest. :P

Are coins actually useful for anything? I've stopped wasting energy looting bodies or using my thief ability

Question that came up in my mind. Any way to cure disorientation? I only ask because I'm pretty sure that 11 moves equals the death warrant. xD You only need to run into one, any kind of monster. :P All my resistance points will probably go into that one.
Comment has been collapsed.
Man, I feel as awful as hell. Or rather that's an understatement. It's worse. After being hit by a barbarian for 20hp, I had to run away more than 11 times (yes that's correct...) to get away from a ghoul. It's almost like a 5-10%, the escape chances are completely broken. :( Needless to say I had to spent my two recently acquired big hp potions (and the only ones I had) to live through this. I probably should just die instead of trying to get away. Would be better, would have saved the potions. Can't believe it. Character is almost dead now anyway so it was only a lose-lose runaway. :(
EDIT: Yup dead on next step. Could not run away (again) from a fairy this time. This frog pool will be the death of me. The damned things can't be caught either. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Really? to be honest that frog pool is a peaceful land for me lol
Comment has been collapsed.
It was a peaceful place for you because all monsters were busy attacking radagast :p
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I don't know about you but the RNG for now hasn't helped at all in rolls. 2 deaths/3 kills is awful. Did you find any armor items or stat bonus items early on to survive? Haven't seen anything yet. Though I've only survived for 25 checks or so.
Btw how OP is stealing? haha. I had 90+ coins. Now I have 9. :O Not that it matters much but wtf.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not OP at all. There are just too many thieves around.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not really sure how you met so many trouble like that, I see all my items/artifacts nothing is special. And I stick with magic from the beginning, never changed. Scrolls are helpful too, I see that's is the strength of being a Mage.
Comment has been collapsed.
What scrolls? To deal dmg, really? :O Found none too. Well I don't know I just keep missing in combat till dead. I also played with cracked staff for quite a while but it was missing most of the time too and too low dmg. Then I changed strategy and ran away from many of the fights since no hp potions, but running wouldn't really work either, so it was worse. Everything feels too luck-based tbh. In last game of swords this was not the case.
Comment has been collapsed.
- Some scrolls keep you alive, example regeneration scrolls and some others scroll require magic skill. Some items help you attack more useful, like Explosive. If you don't have them yet, search more and more, don't miss any single stuff.
- Lol while attacking you missed too much, which means you need something to boost your Accuracy.
- Yeah i stick with staffs, that cracked staff is not really good lol, you'll find a better one soon I guess. I quite satisfied with the 3rd staff I'm using now, but I still need to find other stronger one.
I never had to run away, never die, just simple like that, you can see me now on the top 10 Hall of Fame.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes I'm aware of your progress you are doing well. :) And I'm aware of your points mentioned and of course I don't miss stuff. I did finish game of swords last time after all. Just found none of the things mentioned. The problem is when you are stuck at lvl 1 with the cracked staff with a mage and all your spawns are powerful ghouls/screetch birds/or mage resistant enemies etc. you can't really do anything about it. Can't kill them/can't run away from them either. Encounters are too randomized for lvl 1. That's my point. And since drops are too, you can easily get stuck at lvl 1 for ages if a bit unlucky. Those that did a good start, are also high in the leaderboards indeed. A good start is almost everything as it seems. A bad start however, also gets you stuck badly on lvl 1. I'm still at 24/100xp. Can't do much about it unless something lucky happens. I love challenge, but I'll be honest I never had so much trouble with the first level up in an rpg crawler game in my life. This is harder for me than any roguelike. :P
EDIT: Just after resurrecting and getting some energy, 1 step, scratchy bird. Tried a bit to hit it with ranged weapon, only missed, tried to get away, failed, failed, died. Completely OP. Endless death loop.

Haha, doesn't matter it's the thought that counts that I appreciate. :) And imagine that just for the "fun of it" 100 gold I was carrying was also completely stolen. ^^ Of course it matters not since I have bigger issues than gold. But seriously some things feel too unbalanced at the moment.

yeah seem like the system depends too much on lucky. keep telling your opinion, I think SErVER51

I may try a few times more but since this will be a long week of deaths probably, I may quit at some point, I don't know. I honestly wish there was a reset button. To start right from the beginning. Throw the character away. I wonder is it even possible or with good chances to get a better mage weapon than the initial cracked staff, from weak enemies? Probably not. Initial weapons in any case, should all be doing the same dmg for all classes if you ask me, if the classes were even remotely fair in comparison for the start. On the other hand maybe it's just my luck. I don't see many others having similar issues.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh I really like that reset idea, and I saw some people here telling about keep dieing too, soo you're not alone. Good luck to you next try :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I think the main issue is the initial stats on lvl1 and those powerful monster spawns. You can't survive unless you find better weapon/chance to hit asap. Cracked staff dos not cut it. At least when you try to hit an enemy with the correct weapon type, a bonus to chance to hit should be a given. Dmg does not necessarily help if you can't even land a hit to initial spawns. I'm pretty sure that after a lvl or two everything will be normal.

As far as I know, nothing can help you against disoriented except level up and increase your resist points ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yeah got poisoned on my second check and already dead only couple of steps from the start... but had a phoenix from my 3rd check, then i stumbled upon a rat and missed 7/10 attacks... you sure made the game a lot more fun... not. Survived the rat with 1 hp... poison and bleed effects and no HP pots (used both fighting stupid rat, guess it was a dragon mentioned earlier, just in disguise).
According to other posts you really overpowered monsters so i guess there is no way surviving an encounter unless you somehow lvl-up and gain gear.

It is a challenge with a huge reward, it is not supposed to be easy. If you'll be persistent and won't give up, you'll make it.

There is hard and there is unfair. Whether you progress or not rests entirely on rng and does not involve your decisions.

Important notes about the Game
In the Game, you will have Energy Points and Health Points.
Most of the actions in the Game require Energy Points. Energy can be replenished using items, which you can find everywhere, thus it is important that you check everything around you!
Energy will also be replenished over time. Normally, you will receive 1 Energy Point every 15 minutes, and that time can be reduced with special artifacts that can be found in Game.
Note, that the Energy won't be replenishing during the battles (you can only restore it with potions)!
If you lose all your Health Points, you will also lose all the energy you had plus you will have to wait for up to 6 hours to be resurrected. (Basic Resurrection happens every 6 hours from the time the Game started - 16:00 GMT). The energy can not be replenished while you are dead!
