when u upgrade blazes armor it gives him armor and 1 bonus armor i.e if he buys 5 armor he will get 10 armor total

when a continue is used all the creeps are just standing around ur guy so a few seconds of invulnerability would be nice

im sure someone has already said that fulgore needs a major buff. i think the best thing would be for him to have an evade, probably pretty high given how much dmg creeps do and how fast they can attack.

occasionally, it will say kill 4 strongholds and there will only be 3. sometimes it will say kill 2 and there will only be 1.

the new version is great overall and i really enjoy it

The new version with bosses on the higher rounds is nice. Gets a little trivial fighting the same boss you fought on round 25 on round 70 though. Would be nice with some variety there :)

Blaze jump seems to work fine so far. I'll let you know if it still randomly screws him over.

UPDATE: Appears that the jump bug is still happening. Heard it from a couple of people in the infested arena channel.

A bug that noone probably saw as something serious, but yet still annoying, and sometimes game breaking is the Stalker bug. For some reason, when hit in the air, the stalker sometimes completely disappears for a short amount of time and either appears right on your specialist, or running back into the map. This seems to occur quite alot, so it's definately not a rare bug. Just thought i'd point it out since it got one of my teammates killed in my previous game. Basically it just disappears in the middle of it jump and appears some random place. It seems like it triggers when it gets hit while jumping, or a goes off when it starts eating off someone, can't tell what procs it exactly, but either one of those things.

Fulgore also seems to be a too weak melee dps. Simply because he gets rofl stomped pretty early into the later rounds if you're not extremely careful. he relies way too much on his Violent Transfer which first off turns him more into a caster, secondly it requires really good movement, APM, and strategy to not mess up. 1 mistake and Fulgore is dead. Just takes away the whole feeling of a melee dps that is supposed to be attached to him. This game isn't very melee friendly at all to be honest. Atleast not to him, since the only way he can be an effective melee dps is running back and fourth turning his invisibility on and off, and which isn't that effective at all, considering that he is a single target auto-attacker. I was thinking about something like a Mirro Image skill like the one from Warcraft 3. Up to 5 clones of himself which each were granted a percentage of his own values in damage, armor and defense, which could be upgraded, and would gain additional bonus percentages for each point put into the ability. This would greatly increase his effectivity in close combat combined with the shadow stance he has, since he's pretty pointless in terms of taking damage.

Going incapitated is also quite annoying right now, as 90% of the time, monsters are standing right next to your corpse, killing you in a matter of seconds once you get back up (Not talking about Continue), you should get a quick immunity when reviving from a basic incapitation.

@Etravex: Go

I can't tell you much else than that it happened when jumping into the same spot as he was standing in. And all of the sudden, boom... Out of the screen, game still thinks that you are there, and you will be attacked while not being able to perform any actions yourself, or see your character. Dying doesn't fix it either. You will go incapacitated, revive, and be in the same situation. So really, nothing to do there. That's all i can say about it. I suppose that this is a rare bug, but it does happen, apparently.

I also looked a little bit into the new upgrade costs on Blaze. The barrel modification seems reasonable for 1500, but the spit-fire modification seems a little too pricey for what it does. Considering that the additional attacks does lower damage than your regular attack damage, and that it is based off percentage, the price on it make it way too expensive to upgrade early on, along with the other things Blaze needs to just be a tiny bit useful. He needs abit of babysitting until he has enough damage output, and dragging the pricetag on it down to a max of 750 would seem reasonable.

He has a slow enough start as it is for his really effective setup, and going for Open Season upgrades early on is not worth it in the long run, if you want to go for the more effective build.

@Etravex: Go

Hmm, i don't know why the continue thing did not work, but the monsters sure did hurt me when it happened.

I jumped into the same position i was standing in when it happened, simply to just gain the buff. He simply just took off and i wasn't able to perform any actions since he was basically stuck in the air, or whatever that happened to Blaze.

few bugs ive seen, on stronghold level only 4 towers spawn tho it says to kill 8...siu surv rounds in darkness first round which caused 2 people to leavecause we couldnt kill them and lost 3 continues on normal, and when i was blaze i was near the center of the map i rocket jumped to the same spot and i went flying from the center straight up then to the top right corner of the map.

Just for the record, Blaze's Jump is still not fixed. Flew outside the screen and was unable to do any actions. The game saw me as still standing the same place, but there was no unit, yet the monsters still attacked the spot, and i kept dying. Hope it gets adressed asap.

You are also not granted any immunity when using a Continue whatsoever.

Krug's tower seem really powerful and tanky in early game. It have like 5k hp and 50armor on lv5. It seem to make the game really boring in the beginning, cause you just spam tower and the round can be finished easily. Maybe you could make the Tower Upgrade add plus HP armor in addition to damage, while lowering the starting Tower HP and armor. It make the tower make the same transition as the difficulty increased and the more you upgrade, the tankier and more damage Tower can become. This would make the early game more interesting, instead of a snooze fest when someone pick Krug

And the SIU round (team survival) can be passed easily in the later stage, where everyone damage is through the roof and we can just kill the egg, eliminating the whole challenge from the round altogether. This is somewhat true for the SIU egg in normal round as well. Maybe you could scale the egg's HP or make it harder to destroy.

And it seem Blaze these day is really powerful when go through the auto-attack route (just upgrade weapon damage). In the later stage, you can just camp him in the middle of those island and he automatically kill all the wave as they come. The other heroes can just chillout behind those tree and the round will still be won

And I still have no idea what Infernal Armor does. At first I always thought it would make you go glowly and go through super saiyan mode, destroying most of the arena stage xD. It would be great if you could add some more detail about what it does in the Blood Tree

Another cool thing would be adding player level abilities other than just the regular ones.

Like ones that required player lvl 10,15,20 etc..and that you can only put a single point into. If not, then perhaps new specialists, but i guess new ones are getting added sooner or later anyways, so there is probably no point in requesting that as you are probably working with enough already.

Right now i am on player lvl 20, and player leveling isn't that exciting as it used to be since there isn't anything else to achieve with it than a few stat points here and there.

ive been playin the game lately and its gotten much better since it started, now i found out(not sure if my video card just sucks) but on lowest graphics if every1 has tier 3 psionic or fire abilities it also causes some pretty bad lagg for every1 in the later levels...ive got a group to go without those abilities once and we didnt lagg at all even when i was playin blaze

Would it be possible to make items other than minerals and infested bloods disappear after like 200 seconds. Sooner or later too many starts being all over the map. I've noticed that Static Arc also causes alot of lag for lower-end computers once 3 or more people has it. It gets pretty bad to be honest. Alot of people die because the lag that is caused by it, making them unable to move properly around.

Also, seems like adding shield regen to Blaze in player setup wont change the fact that it will drain the same amount of shield in Fury Prescence. Just thought i'd point that out. don't know if this is intended, though.

Also, sometimes randomly after using Open Season, Blaze will stand still and not do any actions unless you give him any. This bug is rather annoying too, especially if you're in the middle of a big battle.

Looks like you can get incapacitated before you are even dead too. I've seen this happen with monsters that did far less damage than you had health left, but yet still got you incapacitated. I don't know if it's just me that this has happened too, but it seems a little weird.

Bug:

Thought that this bug was gone, but it is still here, apparently. If a player disconnects after choosing difficulty, everyone else will get stuck after picking their character, only left with the option to leave the game.

Also, the immunity buff should be added when you die also, once you revive you usually have a crapton of monsters standing aorund you which will kill you 95% of the time before you get to do any actions. I suggest a 3 second invulnerability so you have a chance to get back on your feet.

Reward an extra 25-50 minerals for killing mutated SIU's.

Another suggestion would be if you made sub upgrades to Infernal Armor, Static Arc, And the currently taken out poison, which would upgrade the damage output on them making them more effective later into the game.

The new Wind Fury and Barrel Modification update fits Blaze quite well. Loving that he can do something else than just sit in a corner of the map and spam Open Season. I knew addons like those would make him that much more useful. A thing he needs though is a 1:1 ratio on his leech X attack speed in Fury Prescence stance. Right now he is still far too weak to really keep up in that stance, and the leech he has is way too slow to keep up. Also, perhaps up his tier 1 attack damage upgrade from 0.95 to 1.10 per upgrade. He does do a lot of damage, but he does not have a critical addon like others, which keeps him down abit when it comes to the weapon damage early on. Other than that, thumbs up :)

And since we came in on the Air Strike thing, i thought i'd take some hours, or basically the whole night to check out each character and which of their skills or areas that feels underwhelming.

First off we've got Dead Eye. He's an insanely good DPS, which can probably take down SIU's faster than anybody else. Here are some of his abilities that could use abit of change, some of them minor changes.

Head Carver - This ability is extremely strong, but lategame it isn't. My suggestion would be to add an upgrade which can be purchased/put points into after round 25/30, and which halves the cooldown on it. An idea like this for one of all the specialists skills would be pretty nice in general. Also brings more into the game that there is abilities that you need to reach a certain round to unlock.

Dead Eye's Glaive - This ability is quite underwhelming, and compared to his auto attacks and the fact that you need charges for it just makes it a no-go. This thing could definately use some love, or be changed into something else

Thermonuclear Capsule - Increase the range of it by 2 on max level, not the radius as that seems fine. The short range it has compared to other nukes in the game make it too dangerous for a long range nuke as Dead Eye is to use it. Also, adding a 10% scale off of his weapon damage apply to it wouldn't be too bad an idea.

Then we have Salv - The almighty healer:

Medusas Sting: Increase range on it, by like 3-4, and make it a non-target ability so that you decide where to cast it. Having to actually click on an enemy to cast it sometimes makes it quite annoying when trying to fast-macro him.

Fulgore:

Shadow Strike - I tried it for my first time, and i didn't like it. I now understand why nobody else uses it as it is just a much worse version of Violent Transfer.

Vexing Shadows - This ability is not bad, but neither good. Deep Lacerations is a much much better nuke in terms of damage, and much more useful against the SIU lategame. I suggest that this is changed into something like Dead Eye's Head Carver. An ability with a 2 minute cooldown, but which doesn't require Marks of Death to be cast. Remove the upgrades from it, and give it a percentage shield leech as you level up the actual ability. Perhaps the same values as head carver. Fulgore has enough stuff that he needs to upgrade already, so changing Vexing Shadows into this would make it that more useful.

Krug:

Thermal Sight - This ability is way too expensive, and would slow Krug down too much when you look at how much you have to spam his abilities in general to make him useful. I never liked using this, and neither did anyone else, when i asked around about it. The 50% attack speed is nice, but it would just be that much more useful if it was like a buff which Krug himself casted, and not some Stationary thing that would have to stay next to to get the buff. It costs too high, which is too risky later on. If it got reduced by 1 Nuke charge it might be worth getting.

Thermo Blade - This ability is good, but not worth picking over Pyro Charge and turrets. All Krug really needs in general is his turrets, as they are extremely tanky, and does up to 1025 damage each, every 0.70, and down to 0.35 second. Getting Thermo Blade on him is just 1 less turret which is simply not worth it. Pyro charge isn't really something useful either. I tried, and the only thing i found really useful was going pure turret build mixed with attack speed.

Seifer:

The only real problem with Seifer is the amount of kills he is able to get. Picking him basically means that you are gonna get around 1000 kills in 1 game if you last for around 40 rounds. This makes alot of people not wanting to pick him, and since he is a really vital specialist that is needed in most cases to get far, something needs to be done here. I'd say make him get 5 times the EXP for each kill, another source to get exp from, or something like that. Otherwise noone will feel a need to really pick him while leveling up their playerlevel due to the low amount of exp you are given from playing him.

I hope this was some useful info as it took me awhile to test it all out. Cheers :)
