Ambro86, I don't have much to say about the navigation that hasn't already been said. While I understand what you're saying, in theory, at the end of the day you can't simply flip a switch and say "Navigation Option 2 is available." Because the two options are fundamentally different perspectives. The perspective of the game is first-person, not third-person. You exist in the same space as the main character. Could we make the a third-person navigation mode? Yes, but it would not be the game we designed, because we designed a first-person game. If you prefer to navigate in a top-down third-person mode, we have provided this option by allowing you to explore the map in this perspective. But for actually exploring the world—interacting with things, hearing the sounds around you, walking through locations—third-person navigation isn't an option because that's not the way the game is designed.

Now to pick up a few things that have been asked or mentioned:

@rtt entertainment, regarding retreating from battle: It sounds like you are failing to retreat. Retreat isn't always a sure bet—sometimes you can't get away. There's a somewhat random chance, influenced by your speed and the speed of your enemies. The game is supposed to announce when you fail to retreat but it's possible that if you're not using the battle log, that announcement isn't being spoken.

@ZK, regarding enemies and level caps: Yeah there were a couple of enemies with level caps that slipped through the net. Bandits are the worst as they pretty much are impossible to find after level 42 or so—this will be fixed in an update. Wolves can still be found as buddies of other units, but you have to be in the right places and they aren't very common. We actually may need to figure out a way around this for Madeline's quest, since the design of that quest assumed that you would hang on to any wolf pelts you might get, until you trigger the quest—didn't take into account the New Game + idea, which was added later.

@ogomez92, regarding Linarrio Mausoleum: ***Pro-tips*** Sometimes, people in Farhaven will have as good of answers, or better, than people on the forums for your questions. If you are trying to figure something out, it doesn't hurt to ask people who might have a reason to know about it. Want to know something about the mines? Why not ask a miner, or a miner''s wife. Wondering about some religious matter? See if the priest has any advice. Trying to figure out how to get into Linarrio Mausoleum? Maybe ask someone with the last name Linarrio. We have really tried to reward you for asking around—you'll be surprised the practical hints you can get from talking to people.

@Lord Lucius, regarding tricky sound with multiple campsites: Ooh good catch. We may be able to tweak the audio there to make that more distinctive. I'll add it to the list.

@Jayde, regarding final boss level: Technically the final boss does level with you, as much as any units are able to level. The actual situation with difficulty scaling is a bit more complicated and, while I won't go into details, the boss will ideally track with you but there comes a point when you're going to start outpacing him, and leaving him farther and farther behind the higher your level is. I've never been thrilled with this but we never came up with a better alternative, so there you go.

@nidza07 and Defender, regarding Mysteries of Deepwood **minor spoilers*** The location of this item actually isn't fixed. There are a handful of locations it might show up in. Just don't want anyone getting frustrated when they're told "It's here" and then it isn't there for them.

@BlindNinja #1175: Lol.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick notice that, as of a few minutes ago, we've had our first instance of suspending an AHC account because of it being activated on too many different devices, without explanation. I don't like doing this, and am hoping that this was a simple misunderstanding—time will tell, I suppose. So this is just a reminder that if you are distributing your account information so that other people can play the game, that will not be tolerated—however, if we do notice suspicious account activity (whether or not you're in fact doing anything wrong) we will reach out to the email address in question to express our concerns and ask for clarification about why it is being activated on so many machines. It's very important that you respond to this message if you get it, otherwise you risk your account being suspended if the number of machines continues to increase. As always we're happy to answer questions and to discuss any unique situations—after all, we don't want to prevent anyone from rightfully enjoying the game.

I don't like the account system at present; I'd rather buy it again if I need to activate it on another computer. I don't think £16 is too much to ask to avoid something like this in the future. I'd rather be able to install it on thousands of computers if I desire with the proviso that you'll have to purchase the game each time you install. Clearly, a lot of time and effort has been put into the game, not to mention the most excellent voice acting.

There are 2 ways you could go about this because I absolutely hate restrictions in any way. The first method is to tie each purchase to an Email address instead of of the present account system and give each Email address associated 3 keys; that should be more than enough if you want to install it on a backup system. If you want anymore keys, you'll have to buy it again and I believe this is the most fare way of doing it. The second way is to use a local key generation system and you'll have to input that key before purchase. As soon as payment is complete, inputting that key into the game will unlock it and it's a 1 time deal; if you want to do it again, you'll have to purchase again. The rule of thumb here is, no purchase and you don't get to play and I'd rather pay £16 each and every time for unrestricted privileges. Not only that but I'd be willing to pay £16 for other game privileges such as purchasing higher stat caps and expertise as well as attribute points without leveling if such a thing could be implemented. If we can pay to do what we want, everyone will be happy and you won't lose out either.

Kind regards, Amin Abdullah.

@Bashue: You talk about not liking restrictions, yet your idea of only one install ever per purchase is far more restrictive than almost anything out there. Even JAWS isn't that restrictive. That would be terribly unfair to people who have more than one computer, or who want to get a new computer and must now spend the extra $20 on top of whatever the cost of the computer is. I for one would have refused to purchase the game if I knew I would have to purchase it again for any new computer I may get in the future. That would also be horribly burdonsome to the people we're specifically trying to stop from pirating the game, because when they finally manage to pay for the game, if anything ever goes wrong with their computer, or if they got a new one, they have to do that all over again.

As for paying for extra attribute points or whatever, that would be extremely game-breaking and would ruin the entire spirit of how the game was designed to be played. Sure, it's a single-player game so it wouldn't ruin it for people who don't want to spend the extra, but I'm sure the game developers would still prefer not to do that.

Greetings loxias.

I understand where you're coming from and I'm not dismissing the points you make. I believe Munawar actually implemented a similar system but instead of an account system, you had a computer specific key which was a one time use only deal for that computer. However, you can request additional installs if the one you're using was somehow corrupted for some reason. If however you were asking for a key for another computer pretending it was the one you originally purchased the key for then 2 courses of action could be taken. Either you had to purchase the game again for that new computer or you will not be entertained in the future encase you tried to pull that trick again. I'm referring to treasure hunt. A little less restrictive than the idea I had but it worked. It's true I hate restrictions with a passion and what I'm proposing seemingly contradicts my statement. That's also the reason why I also offered an alternative idea where by you can purchase 3 keys instead of 1 and tie it to your Email address. That idea would be the most fare one to implement.

Kind regards, Amin Abdullah.

I'm glad you can track this stuff, Joseph. I should only try activating on one more computer in the future, but we'll see. I'm sorry people are already trying to swindle you out of well-deserved funds for this and future games. You've done and are doing a really amazing job. I plan on promoting the game on Tumblr once the graphics update comes out so my sighted friends can possibly invest in it.

@joseph
Yeah I think 3 computers, tied to machine ID is completely reasonable for 90 percent of people.
I don't know how devs are doing unique keys now-a-days... Because even if you generate one using a combination of bios, MOBO, and CPU identifiers only, which would avoid like 75 percent of component upgrades, you would still run into the problem of really popular combinations, especially premanufactured desktops.
IP range is probably? still worse though...
But if you can find a way, than I think you could avoid allot of misery.

aHere is what I was thinking about the whole key system. The keys is handled by having a blind gamers account right? How about this, unauthorizing the oldest computer on the list? Maybe have the list be about three to five computers long, and the key be based on some kind of hardware link instead of IP? Yes, this requires the game to check the net from time to time, but this is the best I can think of at this time. Maybe have it check for any updates during the process? Just wondering…. I hate it when people try to steal something this good.

Sorry for asking so many times, but here goes.

I have enough evidence to reveal the conspiracy to the Goblin King. If I plant the letters somewhere he might discover them, I could plunge the goblin society into turmoil.
A bit of vocabulary problem actually. Does "plant the letters" mean putting the letters I've found somewhere so that the Goblin King can eventually find the plan that might kill himself? Assuming that was the correct meaning, I tried revisiting Goblin king's tent, but nothing happened. How should I proceed?

@1193, Yes, you're right, it means exactly what you think it means, and the location where you should put the letters is very close to the king's sleeping chambers, and it's actually rather obvious, especially if you've done the main quest for the mines.
@1194, The encampments are all along the subterranean road. Echoing Chasm is the closest to the Great Bridge. If you start from the Stalactite Cavern encampment, go west, listen for openings and you should find it.

@nyanchan, regarding Family Legacy
SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT!
That particular member of the family being dead is okay, he has nothing to do with Family Legacy. Have you taken the books in his study? If so, go to the Adrianus mausoleum with Gwen with you and the quest will trigger.

Hi all, I have a question to ask.
spoilers:
I have look for the mystory of deepwood in both the towers and the ruin fort, but I can't find them. will it be available somewhere else apart from these 3 places?
spoiler end.

Thank you.
