@sswwaaiikkee, no, this game doesn't have music or  sounds, at least not yet, though they might be there in the future.

Well one thing I definitely need to look at is the guardians.  The way they currently work is that when players create guardians, the amount of gold they currently have is what adds to the health and damage of the monster.  It seemed like a fun idea at the time, but can lead to some very powerful creatures if the player had worked to save up a lot of gold ahead of time.

If someone is actually able to kill a guardian, the space turns back into ancient ruins, so the monster can be replaced by another player later on.  What has happened is that guardians were being killed and recreated by players (I saw that happening on the server), but eventually we had a few people save up a load of gold before creating new monsters.  This is what leads to the laughable defeats like Smoothgunner's, where his health was -102 when the dust settled.  That's less like Smoothgunner's corpses is lying in the ruins, and more like the ruins received a fresh coat of Smoothgunner brand paint!

So yeah, people are good at pushing stats and things to the extremes, so I need to figure out a way to balance that more.  My first thought is to maybe have the guardian's health permanently lower during fights.  That would mean a very powerful guardian may still slaughter a couple of players, but each time they would have whittled its health down more and more so until some new player can take it down.  Just a first-thought.

I agree with Dark's idea that there could be a way to not fight the gardions. Maybe you can choose to not fight them, but get a gold penalty, though that  could be problematic if you had less gold than the penalty was. Basicly, there should be a penalty for not fighting them, something like:
"You know that you can't possibly survive this, so you instead choose to run like a chicken. Unfortunatly, while you are running, some gold coins fall from your bag."
Or there could just be a page saying that the gardion tells you to eather pay him money or fight, a troll like thing, pay to continue.

I've reset the current Guardians and altered their code.  They should be significantly weaker now and they permanently lose health after battles, meaning even a very powerful Guardian will be chiseled down and defeated.  I haven't tested the newest code yet, but anyone killed by a guardian should have their name listed.  This should let you feel a warm and fuzzy bond with the names on the death list, when the haunted refrigerator leaps from the ruins and bashes your head in, or it can make you proud to have avenged all those people after you fire an arrow through the brain of the 6-legged lunch lady.

I've also found and fixed the rage bug that was still using it all up, even on very weak enemies.

Cool, I'll be interested to see how the guardians work particularly because the lack of them let my last two chars really! get some distanceout into the wilds :d.

I was however wondering if there could be a confirm on the giveup screen either to make a guardian or settle down, sinse currently I've accidently mde two guardians and given up twice, which was very annoying when I'd just resolved to see how far I could go :d.

YepI could get a bit carried away with the b key . Though I'd suggest this be optional as some people might not want them.

I also don't really see the point in berzerker mode yet, though I've not experimented with it much.

Nice idea Simber, the  thief is pretty awsome, though the lightning  wizard is pretty much a one hit fest when you've got some upgrades, the only thing to watch out for are those traps.

One ting I'd like to see are tombstones, ie, you get to see where people died, and maybe loot their corpse?

It'd also be interesting to see some  different monsters and special rewards later on to compensate for the amount of upgrades people have. Obviously not completely but a little.

Imho the warrior needs some teaking sinse right now it seems to be the most problematic class, especially the berserker. Perhaps let the berserker do some more damage in return for less armor?

Defender, I'll admit I wasn't closing my eyes while using the screen reader on the tablet though.  So I guess that was sort of cheating. 

Dark, what I intended for Berserker mode is a very dangerous mode that you'd only use for a short time between settlements.  As long as you survived to the next settlement, to heal up and change back to normal mode, you could have raised your maximum health by a handful of points.  From that point forward you would have the advantage of say 38 health instead of 30 you would have had otherwise.  If Berserker mode was done a few times, at the right times, you could be able to travel past the last settlement with a hefty 50+ health.  That should let you make it further than others, so long as luck isn't holding a grudge against you.

I agree 100% about the thief.  From what I've seen on the server logs, thieves are over powered.  I plan to do more tweaking once I get more time to code (probably not until Thursday or more likely Friday).  I plan to tweak warrior a bit and I love the graffiti/tombstone type ideas, and am going to try to find a way to put something like that in.  I'm also hoping to mess with sound code to make sure that will work, before getting sounds done.

Dan, I haven't had any trouble selecting a class so I'm not sure how to help.

SLJ, no real way to avoid them.  Armor updates do work (or at least they worked last time I used one), but only the warrior can upgrade armor.  Rage builds up from certain spaces you land on, and when facing an enemy the enemy's health is lowered by however many rage points you have saved up.  It is a way to pre-weaken enemies before you actually fight them, and in some cases you have enough rage built up that the enemy dies before you even battle.

Viktor, I may adjust that, but for the moment it's one of the very scary risks of using Berserker mode.  lol!

heh yeah, thief is  to OP, haha
that's why I could survive to space 631
I'm  more like a  cheater that time lol
well... defender's suggestion is very nice, to make the thief just able to use knife...
