well I am unaware if they exist, with FF the Ctrl+number never failed me even if typed by accident. For some reason under-angering does me better than certain over-angering. After all I have handled that 1M HP giant wave, though I had to build some 50 Y/L grade 10 towers to defend myself. I don't need the best-of-the-best score, I need it to be just high.
surfthenet, jeez, 420th wave... you're very close to wave #510 I wonder what efforts you have done to make such a performance. And did you make a screenshot of its stats, just for fun?
lankhr, it's a bug. if u bomb 7 times it's the end, right? no, the monster armor should be more than 100k (not HP), everytime u bomb "gem of eternity -1" "gem of eternity -2" and so on.
it's not lag, everytime 1500 monster on the field and 1000 monster inside, put the bomb in the Gem of Eternity, but u should anger them a lot (armor more than 100k)
I'm now playing a normalgame right now, with 29 waves, currently wave 27 on its way, I have some 780M score and haven't yet reached 6.65 multiplier... mainly because a single grade 10 R/Y gem is worth 96k mana (no red or yellow in the level, so I have to create 24 grade 6, then bomb em with created grade 6 R and Y to make 16, then combine), and an average wave was angered 12-15 times by grade 8 gems each, so I couldn't spare 180k mana just for a 0.05 bonus to mana earned and score. Wave 25 had 120k HP, wave 26 is a swarm, so I angered it with grade 6 gems instead, wave 27 is a runner and I don't expect all the previous waves to perish before those runners will exceed normal banishment costs and will kill me, so I have under-angered it, and wave 29 has 200K already and 320 monsters, so I shouldn't anger it further.
I think the lag problem with longer games can be fixed easily in a future patch. There should be an option to turn off projectile animations and radically degrade the monsters image quality. I would also put a number on max towers and traps that can be build.
On another note, I would love to see gemcraft get released as a regular PC game with more in-depth gameplay and gem combos and of course multiplayer
Lankhr, well, I expect it being possible on any level that has 22 waves or more, or on a level with giant monsters in waves 12-22. I believe you won't have enough time to create/combine that big amount of gems you normally need to have a stable defence line with steady mana income, before wave 11. I can do it when wave 10 is running, but not earlier yet.
Good luck with your big wave
vice123, if they would only hear you... I expect this being easy enough to not change the source much, but it might require a separate control in options page.
Someone please explain to me how replaying early levels for XP works. I've replayed played early levels on different battle modes but I'm not getting any extra XP. Actually, is there any comprehensive documentation for this game?
jigglebilly, you need to earn more XP than you did first time, in order to level up if you'd earn enough. If you're playing a mode first time, the XP you get just adds to the total.
About "comprehensive documentation" - well there is none, except what is written inside as tips before some battles. You may freely ask something you don't understand, but please be sure you have read through all this topic and haven't found the answer. Some basics are explained at http://gameinabottle.com/gc0-screenshots.php so you can look there as well.
Lankhr, well I expect it being possible, indeed... but you'll have to actively do something with all the excess mana after your angers, and you'll have to build a really massive defence to cope with the constant flow of super-angered monsters.
I have returned back to my comp to see I've earned 1.8M... and that was a normal and under-angered... hum, hum. I just have to finish the storyline, then
that's why I never go afk in the game, if I need to leave the computer or the browser I pause the game. Pity... You could cope with it I expect, if you will spend time and mana for defences. Good luck next time. I'm about to battle 2nd arcane right now... but I'll not be able to finish it within a day, so will not try to start.
Best score so far, could have gone higher, but didn't feel like taking forever on the one level. I'll have to try it again when I am completely bored. What level for everyone else is the easiest to score high on, still trying to find the best one for me - obviously a high level with red and orange gems is a necessity and a level with that requirements along with a boost score tower would be SWEET if there is one.
