I just had a nice critical hit, a little over 15000 :P

This is unbelievably fun at this point!!
I just killed a 5k HP troll, fighting it with 0 energy the whole time and started the fight with just a few HP. I actually wanted to die at first. Needless to say that the Troll died by JUST auto-half-dmg-attacks and instead of regenerating which it supposedly does, it actually HEALED ME UP hahaha, its blood was sooo refreshing. This is SO PRICELESS. I think this is an uber combo... I'd like to hear similar stories if anyone has. :P
But WAIT:
It gets even better. It dropped giant slayer (700+dmg melee) and I did NOT take it despite the fact that it's by far more dmging than anything I have. Fact is, my magic would go to 9 and I would lose the resurrect/abuse combos. I couldn't care less in fact. I prefer resurrects. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
The bonus Magic (even negative) wouldn't affect the Scroll levels that you can use :p
Comment has been collapsed.
Well i didnt know that so I preferred not to risk it! Besides, the reason I finished fast was mainly due to a combination management of teleports/resurrect scrolls and losing as few time as possible on levers etc. Luckily I never had to pull a lever twice! Also explosive vials fireballs & regen scrolls were all super useful!
Comment has been collapsed.
You could have found out pretty quickly by attempting to use the standard Regeneration scrolls before you hit level 5 :P
I'm surprised to hear that explosive vials and fireball scrolls were useful, I only tried them out a little bit but found my standard attack doing almost the same amount of damage. I guess they are strong if you haven't found good weapons yet?
Comment has been collapsed.
But how could I know that, since as a wizard you max magic almost instantly? By lvl 3 I already had 10 in magic. :O It's different for you since you couldn't raise magic much early on.
Explosive Vials and fireballs were very strong as long as you used them against weak to fire enemies, AND you had points in fire mastery. Also don't forget that they ALWAYS hit AND you don't miss your turn. That's amazing and makes the difference in keeping you alive. I did have a high fire mastery in this game of course. Maxed it by the end at 15. So yeah they were pretty great and helped immensely to finish the game faster on some hard fights or boss fights. Did you see how fast I finished from lvl 3? In less than a day. Some wizards stayed at the top25 for 2-3 days at least before finishing.

I've won the game as 3rd mage. Looking at my stats, you can see I'm a mage. :D

First I used a fireball scroll, doing 15000 dmg, then just 3 more hits(4-5 attacks, the others were miss) with my staff of zeus for over 4000 each hit.

Congratulations! Your stats don't prove you're a mage, I had similar stats as a Thief when I finished and since you're level 10 you can legitimately have any combination of stats :P but we'll take your word for it (and the rankings)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, you can have whatever stat distribution at lvl 10. I was mainly referring to the high Magic/Magic Defence and little strength and defence in return. Which is typical for mage classes in most games. ;)
Are you telling me you had no strength as a thief? Didn't you use physical attack weapons?
Comment has been collapsed.
My Strength stat was constantly lagging behind (I think I ended the game at 5) I found myself dealing more than enough damage with the weapons I had and focused on increasing accuracy and agility instead. Might've just been lucky though :) (and used magic weapons as my secondary skill if my ranged weapon didn't do enough damage).

Just look at THIS :
"You've sent a fireball towards One-Eyed Dragon and dealt 10646 damage!" haha. xD (I had another one but I opted to do some attacks afterwards) By the way I expected the dragon to be healed by fire but I did try it for the LOLz. You could easily make the dragon with 100k HP and fire immunity btw. Just saying. He would be a worthy last foe then. (BUT he would still die. ^^ )
You have got the Dragon's treasures and are now known as Radagast the Brown the Dragon Slayer!
The Game has been completed by 20 other adventurers already.
623 other adventurers are still looking for treasures.
You had to make 452 steps and
312 checks to win this Game.
You defeated 78 enemies.
You died 8 times.
Thanks for playing!
This was so so much fun. xD I did almost all my progress since yesterday. Fastest climb ever without any energy items. :O
From lvl3 to the end to be exact. :O This felt fast. Some combos discovered were so great. Some items imbalanced. (but still fun) Dragon unbelievably easy. (killed with a 10k+ fireball, and autoattacks and with 0 energy at last attacks but didn't even matter any more since I was a vampire and everything in the game healed me even while tired).
Unfortunately didn't land a critical to see the dmg but the normal hits were around 1700 to the dragon at lvl9 with Poseidon staff, I was very low on magic even in the end with just 11, but did it matter? No, cause being a vampire made everything look like fresh meat, even the dragon.. xD
PS: After the first 3 deaths I had on day 1 , and the 18 resurrection hours, I remember being near the end of the leaderboard at lvl 1 with just 24 XP on lvl1. I can't believe how hardcore the game seemed then. And how fast everything changed. All subsequent deaths were even on purpose...
PS2 : Sorry to Ethlesis in the end ! I must have leeched 16++ EP from her right before the dragon. :OO !! Sorry !
PS3 : Of course the dragon gave me the whole level up from 9 to 10. :P I somehow thought I could end this at lvl 7-8 that everything was super easy (even Dendroid dead at lvl6-7 with a trick), but alas I got too much xp without wanting it in the end. No running from any monster and just one weapon. And energy even useless in fights. :P
@Server, based on the above abuse of killing spree while tired (0 energy) I'd introduce a +10-20% (-2 or -4 to accuracy) miss chance while tired (0 energy) on future versions. It makes sense and would prevent me from abusing it so much to finish almost the whole thing in 1 day. I was literally killing everything with 0 energy since lvl 6-7 no kidding. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Is that all?
You've sent a fireball towards One-Eyed Dragon and dealt 15087 damage!
First action, considering how much dmg that did, I didn't use the other one I had left. :P

Hahaha, well I was lower level. 9. Not 10. Max fire mastery.
It gets huge bonuses per level up of the character as it seems. :P
The fun part was killing the dendroid super early with fire/resurrection.
Proves that the game can actually be finished at lvl 7-8 if wanted to.
Anyway it seems to me like an inside joke the fact that the dragon would die from fire. :P ffs. He never managed to hurt me with any of its abilities... so sad.xD

Dang, got back from school and apparently i died from someone's Bloodlust hit LOL. Didn't want to wait 5 hour so i just sucked it up and drank my phoenix blood. All went well, i guess? Ended up dead again a few steps later but yeah! The end feels close! I think :D.
Is bloodlust able to actually kill you though? That WAS kind of an unpleasing suprise for when i got back home.. Sometimes when I'm trying to use mine it warns me "there is no one healthy enough to use bloodlust" so i figured that was just a way to stop you from killing other players.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup, they can kill :p
HP can't be stolen from dead players and idle players on which someone else has already used this ability, since they become "immune" to it until they make a step or check. So when no one can be affected by your ability at current spot, that message shows up.

both ranged and magic are the ONLY ways to go against flyers such as the bird. read FAQ :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I did that's why I said ranged is better for flying. BUT now you say rand and magic are both good? Are they equally good, or is one better than the other?
Comment has been collapsed.
Depends. :P You will not want to use magic against magic based enemies. And magic will be better against armored opponents. xD Of course I preferred magic above everything since a Wizard... So just pick the best option you have at each time. Calculate total dmg etc.
For the record, the worse enemy for the wizard was by far the Genie types of enemies. Flyers, and magic based. Almost unnaffected by magic. Some times even fire might be the way to go. :O xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok so does every enemy have a type? And is the type obvious? Like the ghoul I fought must be magic type since it can't be the other 2
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I have no answer for the ghoul. I had too much trouble with ghouls on lvl 1 as a wizard. So I have no idea.
Maybe it's as you say a magic based one. Maybe not. Who knows. :P
In any case no monsters "chase" you there is no such thing in this game. If you flee from battle, the monster actually disappears and you can retry visiting that grid without fear of finding the monster again.
Comment has been collapsed.
In future versions, if @Server finds the time, he may introduce a Beastiary I guess, though that's entirely up to him.
But to be honest I'd prefer it the hardcore way. Finding it yourself through trial and error. Isn't that the best thing about an rpg or crawler?
To discover things by yourself such as enemy weaknesses, powerful combos etc? Why have everything served on a plate? :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Totally agree with you. Besides, simple logical thinking can help to figure out most enemies' strengths and weaknesses.
Comment has been collapsed.
Glad we are on the same page on this. :) Also another idea regarding that, that I want to suggest !!
How about introducing "unidentified" scrolls and potions in the next version of the game? Many roguelike crawlers have this feature. Let me expand on it a bit. The concept would be that all potions/scrolls found, would be called "unknown scroll/potion". The first time you would drink or use a potion/scroll either on yourself or on your enemies, the item would be permanently identified by it's shown effect. From that moment, every potion/scroll of the same kind would be identified for the rest of the game ! This would require some trial and error experimentation in the early game, but carefully to avoid accidents ! (such as drinking an explosive vial muhaha, or regenerating/healing an enemy haha, or throw a fireball to yourself. ^^)
Wouldn't that be pure and simple fun? :) Anyway I'd love it. :P
PS: The above feature is already the case with potions in the casual/roguelite shattered planet game, that I am giving away as a GA treasure. Read my review on it if you access the GA people. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup, this is a great suggestion, thank you :) I remember you posted it in the previous Game's thread as well. Will surely think of implementing it ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
And another one, less important suggestion.
Since there was quite an abuse with the phoenix vials/resurrection scroll suicides, maybe you should think about nerfing them at least a bit, something like:
phoenix vials: fixed to 25-30% of max hp/ep instead of 50%.
resurrection scrolls: fixed to 60-75% of max hp/ep instead of 100%
It's up to you. :)

I finally made it to level 2 and I am trying to decide where to put my points. I know what concussion does, but it doesn't say in the FAQ how long it lasts.
Comment has been collapsed.
1 day after restarting the game and i feel for those non contributors. It feels like a pay to win game with all those extra stats helps a lot in lvl 1. The base accuracy need to be buffed or reduce the avoidance rate of lower level monster and tier increase of avoidance of higher level monsters. I would also suggest 3 small hp pots at the start of the game. After restart i faced a number of bugs. I did not get any 5 points to add for level 1, but since it was added after the game started, it could be that it was added manually. The other was my last death make me resurrect immediately with 4hp left and back to the space i was before i move to the square with the monster. I died again after I move another square because I was bleeding and my resurrection time is 3hr 30 mins. I realised after my restart, all my death has different resurrection time. 4hrs, 6hrs, 3+ hrs.
Comment has been collapsed.
- The points are not given after restart on purpose since it is considered a "hardcore" mode.
- Resurrection happens at fixed times, it is not individual for everyone. The time will always be up to 6 hours.
- As for 4hp, that might be a bug, but it would be very difficult to track it down without more detailed info (what actions preceeded it), so I would be thankful for it ;) That actually looks like you just ran away from the enemy.
Comment has been collapsed.
I forgot haha. I cant recall if I tried to run once in the middle of the fight but i remember once I was in single digit hp and I used big hp and big sp pots but i was bleeding so I just kept attacking until I died. But next thing i know it move me to the previous box and with 4hp. Both my pots are gone too. If it is just me i think it is my own problem somehow.

Yea, if you die 10 mins before the scheduled res, you will res in only 10 mins

Haha didnt realised that, I died once in the 1st game early and the rest of the death was resurrected with pots so didnt notice. There was once I died with ressurection time of 5hr 50+ mins point so I thought it was fixed to character instead.

Comment has been collapsed.
The winners (within the cap for each class) get access to all the giveaways. Once the cap for certain class is reached, players of that class can still continue the adventure and find treasures, but they won't get access to all giveaways once they win.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nice I didn't know you implemented that idea of mine. :) It's really a great way to keep everyone playing till the end of the event ! xD
However for next game of swords, maybe it's time to introduce more rules/exceptions such as a bit higher level reqs on "part" of the giveaways etc. All the events in this site do that. Rewards could be split into different levels etc. Think about it at least. Also it does seem a bit overkill for the winners to be able to enter in every single GA (imo). What about the sword points/coins? :O
Comment has been collapsed.
I generally disagree. I don't mind moving the barrier of entry up to maybe level 1 or 2 at most, but any higher than that and the event would be too exclusive. Having any specific giveaways with a higher level would mess up the randomized treasure hunting and also punish the people who win the game but are too low level to fully benefit from it, potentially keeping many people from playing in the first place. And once the rules start loosening up it might even lead to those infamous SGTools checks or whatever (maybe if they only check for rule violations that would be reasonable).
The current setting with a capped number of top winners + sporadic chances for remaining players should ensure a sweet spot of entries around the ~<50 mark which already gives very good odds to entrants and keep things equal for everyone.
And honestly, if you spend enough effort to participate in this game and uncover a few giveaways, I'd say you deserve to be able to enter even if you're level 0. But as I said, level 1 or 2 could be considered, just nothing higher than that.
Comment has been collapsed.
You just said what I wanted to say, thanks :) Though the cap will not me moved to level 1 or 2. The Game is open for everyone and it will stay this way.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes don't misunderstand me, I was mainly suggesting this for "some" lvl 1 and lvl 2, no more indeed. Like 1/2 of the GAs to be for lvl 0, 1/4 for lvl 1 and 1/4 for lvl 2. Something like that anyway. There would be rewards for everyone of course!!
Imagine that this could even help with raising the number of winners. When you have more than 600 players it is always a good idea to find ways to split rewards in order to get more winners and make more people feel special. It's the best way to advertise your game even more. Think about it. As for the sgtools, I don't know indeed, maybe only for violators like you said. I generally agree with your post. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I still think its not fair for all the winners. If split the rewards, there is nothing special about the treasures after all, I mean it'll exactly like normal giveaways on SG. The system right now encourage all users join the game, that why I really like GosW at first time I read the rules and everything about it (ಥ﹏ಥ)
Comment has been collapsed.
Of course there is. Even getting the GA link for 40 (50%) or even less different GAs is of course special. :P Why would you think that it wouldn't be special?
I always felt (from 2nd game too) that it is kinda unfair that we always entered ALL the GAs (the winners, including me both of the times). You might think why would I say that since I'm winning? Well, I've participated in various events in this site, and I found out that it's best to find ways to make more people get rewards, instead of giving all the rewards to a minority. Better split them to get more numbers of people satisfied. That's my main logic, it's a greater good in some ways and promotes sharing spirit too, in the end of the day. You can only accomplish that by splitting stuff to raise the overall numbers of winning people. Even if the chance to win may indeed drop a bit. Maybe it's just me that thinks that way though...
Comment has been collapsed.
So you can choose don't enter all of them ヽ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)ﾉ its your choice, the winners have the right too access all the treasure and it's just a chance to win, not win it instantly. Imagine if you can only enter few of them, and lose all. Sometimes while playing I was thinking: damn better rage quit, but wait, if I pass this hard time and finish the game, I can access all the giveaway, worth it, definitely worth it! Then I continue playing.The fair rewards help to keep players play the game until the end too, that's the thing every creators want. But I have to admit I really enjoy GosW and sometimes forget all about the prizes, SErVER51 made it so well and successfully.
Edit: just saw you update your post. I said its not fair because this is a rewards for gamers, by winning a game, it is not a competition of the level users, I like it. Spending their time and effort, they won and have the right access all prizes, its the different compare with all level stuff, sgtool, blacklist everywhere on this site.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well of course I won't enter all. :P And I don't entirely agree with your first point and I'll tell you why. The most important stuff here is to have fun with the game. Not to win something necessarily. Ragequit? For such an enjoyable game? I think you are missing the point of how enjoyable the game that is offered to us for free is, if you just look at the GAs and expect to win one or more, every single time. However you did mention that it is so enjoyable that we are actually forgetting the prizes. And that's exactly my point. It is so true. So it wouldn't really matter if I had access to less GAs than all. That's what I'm saying. :P
@Server has done once again an amazing fun experience regardless, that's the truth. GAs matter too little at this point. It may have some balancing class issues, but that was expected, the classes were just introduced after all. There's plenty of time to balance things in future games. And I'm sure this event will be getting more people every single time.

It was a wild orc. I didn't fight, I ran away immediately after seeing his HP and it worked, on the first try, not a scratch on me. And then instadead. The second time was just experimenting to see if it happens again. The result was a "success" I guess lol.

Don't worry there's plenty of ways to recover health.
Healing potions + regeneration scrolls (requires 5 magic though) + barbarian life steal + healing when resurrecting (phoenix vial too).
There are also some broken artifacts such as the life-stealing Vampire's cowl, though that can be found only in late-game, and probably requires some good luck too. :P

Judging from your winning screenshot, you indeed had amazing ending stats for a wizard. Weapon too.
It is entirely random after all and you did collect equipment on lvl 9 and lvl 10 obviously. (that explains my lack of endgame equipment actually)
I only managed to get the normal defense and fire mastery up to the max 15, since I didn't really find almost anything in the game that granted magic/magic defense or accuracy. But at least I got some points in the much-needed Agility. However in the end of the day, the "Vampire's Cowl" I found was more powerful than any game of sword items or stats and made the whole game look like a travesty. :P I could heal up feasting on any and all monsters/bosses with just simple autoattacks. (and without any energy haha). xD I only needed energy potions to move and check, that's all.

Fire damage makes sense... dragon's breathe fire and all of that so it wouldn't do any dmg. The explosive vials killed it in 2 rounds for me. The second vial was even overkill since he didn't have much health left after the first one

That is the part i dont understand completely :P Why for the others fireballs and vials did so much dmg and for me it was set for 0. Weird. Yes.

Congratulations! :)
If I'll ever make achievements in Game of sWords, there will be one for finding me in the Game :p

hahaha that will be a nice achievement to get. ^^
In any case your game gets 11/10 regardless of the balancing issues. Would play again. xD

Thank you! :) There's still a space for improvements for sure. I make mistakes and I learn from them :p

Hint:
This is the easiest lever to find from them all.
You probably found it "very early" in the dungeon, and maybe already pulled it but forgot about it.

Well the hint should help you find it again. The "very early" part should help you...

Glad you found it. :) I actually used the in-game notes feature, to write down the locations of some important places such as the Levers. Just in case. I'm pretty sure many people didn't even realize there was such a feature. :)

I noticed it, but never used it, just did the same as last time and wrote it in my excel map.

Today, I made really good progress making my way into top 25 players but then stupidly died in the dungeon. 10/10 will play again

All this time and only ONE barbarian made it. (!!!) Barbarians seriously need help to make their lives easier. (!!)
I was thinking that their main problem as a class, is that they can't put many points early in the game, in the much needed agility and accuracy. Imagine that those 2 stats are in fact "the most important in combat" due to how mechanics work at this point in the game, so in the end of the day and for the majority of the game, a thief will always be a "better barbarian" than any Barbarian. :P It sounds funny doesn't it? However it's the sad truth. xD Haha.
The agility/accuracy mechanics-thing and how important these both stats are for combat, should really be re-thinked/revamped in order to balance the progression of all classes imo. It's actually hard to do it, there's no easy way, but necessary for balancing the game. Maybe each class needs some extra initial stat points, "in specific predefined stats" instead of unused stats that can't be used where it matters. Or at the very least allow stat distribution for a max of "your level +1" instead of "up to your level" to somehow alleviate that early level problem with agi/acc. Strength and defense on an early barbarian does not help enough to make him survive. He actually does need at least a low agi/acc boost. And pretty much the same is true for the early caster-missing wizard. Somehow the combat capabilities of all classes should be made more "equal".
EDIT: Another Idea:
A barbarian based on lore, is reckless, always attacking mindlessly, enraged, paying no attention to defense. So I thought maybe change his base stats to "Accuracy and strength" instead of strength/defense. Defense is actually bad for a main stat and does not help him advance fast in the game like the thief. Even so, something will have to be done with the wizard at the same time, to balance things up (magic defense is as useful as barbarian's defense for any class so it's not really a wizard trait) though Wizard is indeed much better balanced. (well after lvl 2 all seemed kinda ok, only had some trouble with EP replenishment) And to prevent people from getting their super stats maxed super fast if you'd go this route, such as accuracy/agility/magic/str, I suggest a max of 3 points to be distributed on base stats on level up, while the other 2 points "must" be put in other skills. No more. This should make progression more smooth for all, and not allow for an asap 10 agi or 10 acc overkill situation.
Sorry for wall of text.
These are all simply "ideas" of course that I leave out here, we are just discussing the matter. Ultimately its your game @Server, not mine. xD ^.^

Congratulations! :) Glad that you enjoyed the Game! :)
What browser did you use to play the Game? The fonts look quite odd on your screen. Though, on the other side, kinda old-school :p

Important notes about the Game
In the Game, you will have Energy Points and Health Points.
Most of the actions in the Game require Energy Points. Energy can be replenished using items, which you can find everywhere, thus it is important that you check everything around you!
Energy will also be replenished over time. Normally, you will receive 1 Energy Point every 15 minutes, and that time can be reduced with special artifacts that can be found in Game.
Note, that the Energy won't be replenishing during the battles (you can only restore it with potions)!
If you lose all your Health Points, you will also lose all the energy you had plus you will have to wait for up to 6 hours to be resurrected. (Basic Resurrection happens every 6 hours from the time the Game started - 16:00 GMT). The energy can not be replenished while you are dead!
Note: If you have problems navigating through the map, you can switch to Simplified Navigation at the bottom right corner.
I highly recommend to read this article for important Strategy Tips and general understanding of the Game :)
