Universal Dungeon Quest (by Shiny Box Games)

Discussion in 'iPhone and iPad Games' started by PeteOzzy, Apr 9, 2014.

  1. Feature Preview for Crystals:

    Since releasing the Rogue, we've decided to make it our goal to release new content at a much faster pace. We had huge plans for 1.6 and 1.7, and we're still going to bring you everything we have planned. The difference now is when new systems are done, we're going to release them as soon as possible.

    The first new system coming soon, which will fully replace Enchanting in Dungeon Quest, is the Crystal System!

    [​IMG]

    Crystals are one of the new item types in 1.6 that will drop in the world starting at floor 1. There will be 20 Crystals (which are stackable) in total, and each Crystal will have a unique ability to augment Items in new and powerful ways.

    Ever want to create a Wizard's version of Fate's Travesty? Now you can! Ever want to make your own Blood Magic item? Crystals will be perfect for you.

    [​IMG]

    You start by looting the Crystals in the world, selecting the Crystal in your inventory, and pressing Apply! Once in Apply mode, you'll simply select the item you want to augment with the Crystal.

    [​IMG]

    Most of the time it will cost 1 crystal per augment, but occasionally it will cost more to apply Crystals on rarer items. For some Crystals, like Larimar ( Add Affix ) and Calcite ( Change Elements ), the process is done immediately.

    [​IMG]

    For others, like Fluorite ( Reroll Stat ) and Sapphire ( Change Affix ), you can actually select the affix you want to change.

    [​IMG]

    For the rarest of Crystals, like Topaz ( Add Epic Affix ), Ruby ( Add Legend Affix ), or even Amethyst ( Add Set Affix ), you get to choose from a pool of possible results which should reduce the randomness some in addition to making these rare Crystal feel rewarding.

    [​IMG]

    You're also able to convert up any lower rarity Crystal to the next higher rarity Crystal for 3 of the lower Crystal, and some gold.

    Hope you enjoyed this look at Crystals! Next system we'll cover is the other new item that will be dropping in dungeons soon, Mythstones!

    Oh and here's the full list of Crystals:

    Ahh... Ok, thanks for this, I came here and was about to ask the same question. So, when you pickup loot, there is a chance it can have a talent attached to it? Also, if I enchant something, is there a chance it will add a talent to the equipment?

    Yeah! Enchanting is currently the only way you can add skills/talents/affixes to weapons in your inventory. The Crystals and Mythstones update will change that. Thanks for playing!!

    No issue running the update myself. But not sold on the crystal upgrade system. My big problem is what to do with my collection of legend items with none of them having any slot. It basically means I can longer upgrade them by re-rolling their stats. That's kind of a shame since the fun for me is to try different item combo and tweak each item's stats to get uptimum builds.

    We know about this issue and are currently working with Apple to resolve the problem. It effects devices that are NOT running iOS 8.x. Trying to get them to push our new patch out as quickly as possible! Sorry about this issue!

    There are crystals that also add sockets to items themselves. We have a detailed list of what each crystal is and what it does on our site as well.

    We tried to give players as many options as possible when it came to enhancing their gear. We felt the crystals would enable players to do it for free (since they don't cost gold to apply) and would remove some of the randomness of our old enchanting system that many players felt was unfair.

    Thank you for the feedback though, it helps us continue to work to make our game as great as possible!

    Still one of my favorite game on ios!!! Lovin the update!!

    Not sure whether this is a bug or not, but why can't I download my save from the server? I can upload my save, but when I want to download, the download button is grayed out.. Am I missing something?

    Hi there! We did make some changes to the Upload system in order to reduce the overall bandwidth uploading and downloading was causing on our servers.

    The way it works now:
    1) You upload to the server and that becomes the "newest" available data.
    2) The only time you can download is if the server has "newer" data than your device does.

    If you are playing on multiple devices this makes it MUCH easier to NOT overwrite your data and allows us to help users that run into data issues (lost save files etc).

    If for some reason you want to get the data from the server on your device and your device has the "newest" data you would need to delete the save data and just download again.

    Hope this clears it up!
