Try out CrazyQuest - an online retro RPG

I too have to echo the sentiment here about the rose garden; Absolutely loving it! Thank you very much!

With the increased dexterity available through this area I've been able to do more testing on attack speed, however. Sitting on 94 dex and 50% attack speed from gear, I should have 238% attack speed for 6.76 attacks per round. I just got four. When the chance arises, it would be great if we could have attack speed looked at please, since it really does make it hard to determine the worth of stats and items. From playing with attack speed on gear and dex, it feels like the problem is coming from the dexterity side of things? Though that could have been luck.

Edit: Just removed the crack suit as an experiment; 99 dex and 15% from items for 213%, and I'm getting 3 attacks.

Edit2: following discussion with Sabbato, I replaced my offhand with the cheap dagger from the smithy so that each hand had vastly different damage. All my bonus hits were onhand only, which would be why over 200% attack speed is only 3-4 attacks.

So does that mean that the off hand does not get bonus attacks?

I definitely like the sandbox nature of the game, the ability to customize your character's development, and the variety of item drops, and the price can't be beat. The only thing that I don't like is that it is online only, which means that I can't play it when I am on an airplane (and if I could, I probably would be playing this over Pocket Legends or one of the other MMOs).

I hear you on this, but really think its worth just on the fact that I can leave the app, and still recharge hp and magic. If I could do that in fargoal I might still be playing it.

Based on my tests, that would appear to be the case. My belief from previous conversations with Graham is that it's a bug, but only one person knows for sure

Offhand should get bonus attacks.

Just out of curiosity, when will the 4 new spells work?

3 new spells... and fairly soon, still dealing with wedding stuff a bit. Certainly no later than this weekend.

This is regarding the ambush bug-wait In a mob spot for it to Respawn, and SOMETIMES when it spawns you can pick them off one by one. Sometimes you can't.

I think this is actually really cool!!

Maybe there could even be an ambush or sneak skill to get this effect fairly? But doesn't it make sense in this game world, if you wait for a spawning monster you can nab them?

There are other ways to do it. Kill trid and Cstrong, then Die and wait 5 minutes to kill admin. then, if you time your grind right, you only fight trid and Cstrong at first.

Point is, discovering some of these strategies that make sense within the game world are what gives me lot of pleasure in games like this.

Please don't rip them out too hastily

As far as sneak, I was thinking double-tapping to move to a room would allow for entering a room with an aggro mob without initiating a fight.

Also, I want to add a backstab mechanic that allows you to get a powerful attack off at the beginning of a fight.

There are no words to describe my joy at the thought of sneak and ambush
