I need the ability to pause or save between battles.

  1. Hey there. This is an incredible game. Truly a masterpiece.

    My biggest hurdle is that sometimes I don't have the time to play through an entire adventure. It's really frustrating to play 2 really hard-fought battles, and then run out of time. If I log off, then I'm kicked out of the adventure and have to start over again next time I log in. If I keep the browser open, I'm logged off automatically after a time-out period. I love being able to sit down and play for 20 minutes. But not all the adventures can be completed in that time - which is great. I'd love the ability to save my progress so that I can come back and finish the adventure later, without losing my progress.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I think we might have some issues with game feedback there - the only progress you should ever lose is progress through the current battle. If you disconnect mid-battle we have to interpret that as a loss, which I suppose can also lose you the adventure if you have used all your attempts and don't have enough gold to buy back in. However, you should find that if you close the browser between battles that when you log back in your party token falls to the board at whatever adventure you were playing, and if you then click on the token you get to resume that adventure. Similarly, if you log out during a battle you can later click on the token, which should still be over the adventure, to pick back up after the battle loss.

    We currently don't have an automatic timeout period, however you may get disconnected if your computer enters a sleep state or if your internet connection drops out for some reason.

    I'm suffering word think fail this morning due to it being morning, but hopefully this response has been sufficiently coherent to help.
     
  3. Got it.

    I've had to "buy back in" a whole lot of times so far. My token does fall on the current adventure, but when I go into that adventure, it's always on the first battle. Must be some problem on my end.

    Weird, that's a bug. I just won the first battle of an adventure, logged off and logged back on, and it worked fine for me. So it's something intermittent...great fun for BM.

    It is always safe to close your browser from the inventory screen. When you come back, be careful to only click on the current adventure; clicking somewhere else will cause a pop-up asking if you want to abandon your current adventure.

    Works for Keyser in a quick off/on test... how long (roughly, or minimum) between play sessions for you Hermit?

    Is it possible that the releases of new builds reset progress, but that it works now?
