yeah, it would probably be easier having a seperate forum for gemcraft, like Sonny 2 does but for some reason the mods thought it would be easier to dump everyone's problems, acheivements and comments about the game all into the one thread so it is harder to find the information you need.
Whats the highest level people are up to now, I've gotten to 119 now, beaten the game and completed every mode for all the levels up to just past the first boss. I find it ridiculous that people complain they can't make super gems now or that the game is too difficult. It's much more difficult than the first gemcraft, but I wish it was even more difficult.
So far the highest amount of points I've gotten on any endurance is just over 30K, the key being summoning more monsters with anger. For the first like 10 rounds of monsters on the easier levels can summon for monsters anywhere between 5 and 10 times with gem bombs and continue to use anger up until like level 30 when it becomes more difficult. Using poison traps and level 3 gems that I start with to do the job early, I can spam the mana gain button and get up to about 30k, get a few level 6 gems and try to get it up to about 50k mana and then creating gems until I'm overrun. Even on other modes using anger whenever you can early to take more advantage of the easy levels for when you get to the harder ones is key. I think when I get a few more levels and do some harder levels on endurance where there are the things to boost points I can go far higher. Once you realize the monsters are too powerful, spamming the call monster button until you get hundreds than using your highest gems on the boost score tower thing is such an easy way to boost your score.
I'll try to paste my current file, hopefully tomorrow I'll play more and go for like level 130 or so.
I managed to make a grade 20 prismatic gem with following statistics: Damage: 13596-79858 Range: 216 Firing speed: 279 + specials
And when used as gem bomb: Damage: 1150221-10205847 (1-10 million) Splash radius: 345 Max. targets hit: 14
Picture of that grade 20 gem (the other gem below it is grade 18): http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/6299/grade20gem.jpg
And here's what the map looked a bit before I started to construct the grade 20 gem (all those gems in towers are grade 13-14): http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/6920/grade13gems.jpg
Im at level 92 (old game got erased) and just made a major mistake.. LOL
I accidentally put 2-3 too many gem bombs into a wave and it ended up having 450 armor. 40th wave of 42.
I had 25 million points which is decent for the level and normal game type, would have had about 30 million after the last 2 waves passed. Bombed the waves up with grade 5 gems too so I could spam mass monsters with low armor :/. Turned out I had about 200 monsters on my screen and 30 spawning by the time my 12k mana stockpile ran out.
I always lose because of stupid crap like this haha.
I can't paste any saved games. It says that game data is invalid. It works on computers that saves were made on, but not on any other. Anyone have any idea what can I do with that?
The changes to 1.1 haven't made nearly any impact for me. unless before you could glitch to get huge splash range then everything else should be possible, but only the ridiculous scores will be gone.
It could have been improved by fixing what made the ridiculous scores possible in the first place instead of just resetting them, but nonetheless they are still very achievable.
I posted this in the GemCraft 0 Amulet topic, but I might as well post this here as well. I'm trying really hard to get GameInABottle's attention about this glitch I found while playing the game on Kongregate. My topic about the problem (with screenshots):
Essentially, the Lost Amulets (and other achievement amulets, allegedly) don't reflect their actual point value on your Total XP. Seeing as how XP is vital to your success, missing out on even just 1000 XP can make a huge difference, especially when you miss out several times.
I've already reported the bug on Kongregate. I'm really just curious if any of you have noticed this problem, or can at least check your save files, here at Armor Games. Or, even better, reach GameInABottle and get an idea of what's going on.
What score can you get in the last level without having it taken away? I didn't do anything completely crazy but it got reduced to 0 when I loaded ;(
btw, I think it would be worth having a subforum for Gemcraft. It's impossible to get things sorted in one thread. I'd love to discuss strategies etc. in more detail...
