Anyone free for dungeon chaining?

I am syke.

Edit: I got my bro with me tho!

No worries. I’ll join you in a few minutes.

I have no idea why my arrows freeze people. They only have poison properties and they still freeze when I equip salamander oil.

Your other equipment may have a freeze effect.

Nah they don’t. That’s the strange part. And its telling me u cannot accept participants.

What does it mean when it says “EXTEND” above your character as you start a new dungeon?

Also does it pick the dungeons randomly? Because it seems like it’s just going down the list in order right now.

Pterodactyl · 2013-08-12T00:57:30.000Z

Extended means you’ve gotten past 30000(I think, it might vary, and you can get it more than once) on the score.

It gets you an extra life. Every time you chain to a another dungeon from that point you’ll get an extra life as well.

You guys always seem to ask for help and/or go chaining when I’m busy.

I decided to give online a go for the first time…and I was on a roll.

My lvl 18 Dwarf was throwing peons left and right…wrecking shit with random Wizard, Tits Wizard, and Fighter.

We managed to beat the Kraken, Chimera, and KILLER RABBIT…we worked as a team.

I had at least 6 S Items…and a lot of B’s.

Had dinner (in-game)…and was waiting for the next quest.

Waiting…
…and waiting…
…and waiting…
…and waiting…
…and waiting…
…and waiting…
…and waiting.

Then it finally hit me after 20 or so minutes…the game froze.

All that loot…S Items…leveling…gone.

This was pretty much my reaction after hitting the Home button:

Pterodactyl · 2013-08-12T02:21:13.000Z

Don’t do 4 player online.

Try to go two players at max to prevent freezing.

MARTIAN · 2013-08-12T02:26:41.000Z

Yeah, the online seems to be iffy all around. And it’s annoying cause I can’t even tell when people get dropped from my games.

I always have to test to see who’s human and who’s not by dashing, since the computer will always dash at the exact same time as you.

Cryoh · 2013-08-12T02:29:46.000Z

If you click on a character portrait, actual players will show their PSN ID. AI will just have dashes.

Ragnorok64 · 2013-08-12T02:30:07.000Z

Has there been any talk of patching the game?

Is the netcode bad or something?

Just beat the game with my elf today, and I’m starting up with my dwarf. Am I playing this wrong or does The Mayor not have an AA to use? I’m so used to the elf flipping her little butt all over the place. Not expecting a 4 foot guy built like a boulder to be flipping like he’s Evan Bourne, but at least a strong uppercut would be nice, is there a skill I need or does he just not have it? Yeah, I skipped the tutorial for him, I may have missed something.

Got a lvl 39 Dwarf in Hard mode.

Dwarf’s anti-air strat is entirely different from other melee classes. You’ve got a couple of strong options, but what you will NOT be doing is going up in the air for extended combos. Dwarf is kind of the inverse of the Fighter in the air, all mobility and no combos.

So what do you do against flying enemies? First some relevant mechanics:

Jump attacks
Jump [left, right, or neutral]+square: These are your belly splashes. Hit boxes stay active til landing, brings flying trash mobs to ground, can hit multiple times, good horizontal mobility.

Jump [down or diagonal-down}+square: These are your spinning wheel attacks. Does what the belly splashes do, only vastly faster and with additional damage. Less mobility though.

Jump up+square: This is your air grab. If it connects, follow up with a throw. After grab: up+square is a horizontal throw, down+square smashes enemy into the ground, all others are diagonal down throws. On whiff you can cancel the grab into your normal air attacks.

Relevant ground attacks
Circle: This is your smash attack. It might not look it, but the hit box extends high into the air, especially if you upgrade it with skill points.

Various throws: after you’ve grabbed something on the ground, trying to peg a flying enemy with the follow up is a viable option

Strategy:

Against flying trash mobs, air-grab is your best friend. Jump into their vicinity, go for an air-grab. If it connects, think quickly about your most useful follow-up throw. If your grab whiffs, cancel it into belly flop or wheel and try to take some mobs with you on the way down. Once you’ve got an enemy or enemies grounded, work your ground combos to finish.

Against bosses, be certain first that you really can’t hit them with your ground combos. If you can’t, smash attack is your best option. In between smashes you can either work jump attacks for poor dps, look for something valid to throw, refresh pump-up, or use your bag to equip a different weapon and negate your unarmed cool-down.

Using the Dwarf as well (lvl. 31). In addition:

Smash attack: Have a second weapon in your bag and hotkey it as an item. On a boss, use the smash on your main weapon, then immediately switch to the second and do it again. It had been comfirmed that the Adroit Hands skill helps this as well.

Free evasions without leveling the skill: Hold square like you’re going to pump up, then press R1 to cancel the pump animation into evading. You can keep canceling for free evades (keep the square button held down). Works wonders on the Killer Rabbit boss! Won’t work if you’re pumped up, though.

YusukeUrameshi:

It’s not bad per se, but when I was playing with Neesa and all them it would drop us randomly for no reason. We’d have trouble connecting back to each other as well. It just does weird shit like that sometimes.

I figured 2D games are easier to get better netcode with rollback and all that.

King9999 · 2013-08-12T02:38:26.000Z

Finally beat normal mode, and running through hard. Tried out that chaos dungeon, I found Medusa to be harder there because I had a hard time finding the hitbox.

Reticently · 2013-08-12T02:42:14.000Z

Nah, net code isn’t THAT bad. Most randoms work just fine.

If it weren’t for the lock-up bug, which seems to happen about 5% of the time, people wouldn’t be talking about the net code at all. The fact that you get NPC versions of players that drop makes it pretty painless.

I heard tell of a network stability patch, but it was just hearsay and I don’t have a verifiable source.

Initial_R_1 · 2013-08-12T02:42:18.000Z

Yeah i’m glad the Vita verison doesn’t have to worry about that online issue… The most I have to worry about is frame slowdowns when things get REALLY hectic.

King9999 · 2013-08-12T03:09:06.000Z

I experience a lot of desynchs when I play online. Sometimes just connecting is a pain.

Pterodactyl · 2013-08-12T03:13:23.000Z

The online is almost lagless.

The freezing is the only issue.

To prevent freezing offline, turn online off at te stables as well.

King9999 · 2013-08-12T03:46:48.000Z

Man, I was trying to finish a quest and I took the wrong route. Paid for it dearly too.

Tetsuro · 2013-08-12T03:47:09.000Z

I’ve had some games online be flawless and others with pretty bad lag, but I’m guessing that’s due to geographical distance to the host.

Speaking of online, people need to stop running to the next room when someone is using rune magic. You can rack up an insane amount of lives through double score bonus/enchanted coin geyser/the phoenix incantation.
