My advice to enjoy Dungeon Runners to the fullest... play responsibly.

I find the game to be most enjoyable about 2 hours at a time once or twice a week. The game is designed around short play sessions. Of course, nothing is stopping you from playing as much as you want... but running dungeons is bound to get stale if you do it too long in a single session.

Just my $0.02.

I have been running Room of Creation for a week straight now and still haven't gotten tired of it. This is one great game. Just wish the later bosses dropped enough gold to replace my potions like that boss does.

Good question! We really need to get a regular "what's in development" posting out to you. I've hinted at some things that are coming in some other various posts... but it's still to annoying to find easily.

In short, we continually add more items, skills, dungeons and monsters to the game. We also add major features on a somewhat regular basis. However, this game is about running dungeons... so most features and content revolve around that.

I'll see what I can do to get a more regular posting up about our development plans. Sorry it hasn't been done already.

- Bugfixing! Frankly, more bugs crept in this build than I'm really comfortable with. While none of them are exactly catastrophic, the net effect makes me grumpy. Trying to cram a lot in before a hard vacation deadline, and we just didn't catch as many of these as we would have liked. Apologies to all of you, and thanks for putting up with the mess.
- We've gathered a load of issue reports from you, and are plugging away at those. You can see a partial list in the other post in this area about reported issues. I'll try to keep a reasonable running tally.
- Fixed the chat pane issues that sent stuff to the wrong place
- Fixed achievement scrollbar showing up above worldmap
- Fixed damage displays. Again. But we'll triple-check it this time.
- Looking into the various Hireling issues and stats issues now
- Nerfed Mantis attacks that were so insane to 1/3rd
- Put Ping back where it belongs. What the heck was up with that?
- Investigating those 'pauses' that people are seeing. We think this is related to some Single Core code. If you have a Dual-Core and are seeing these, PLEASE let me know, as that will shoot the theory right down.
- Marsh fixed Quest Tracking unchecking on zone
- Luck issues fixed
- Working on getting Friendslist nicks back - looks like it'll happen!
- Fixed hireling item-dropping issue
- Still workin' - the day is young!

- Still bugfixing!
- Fixed ( hopefully ) the inventory de-equip thing during zoning
- Colossi are looking good - we THINK this might have been a merge issue with the last patch but are trying to make double sure
- Resists update properly in char sheet on change
- speed bonuses display properly in char sheet
- Friends list Ignore Offline works properly
- Nicknames are almost done getting put back in
- Fixed crazy urax firewall spell ( and Harduk's while we were at it )
- Fixed recall charm issue in carniv canyon
- Made Harduk, the Dino boss, and Zivia resistant to different elemental types, and more resistant to interrupts
- Fixed issue where pets didn't give XP if they were far away
- Fixed Tracker's Helm display issue
- Fixed chat not scrolling with wheel when Achievements were open
- Brightened up colored item text for easier readability
- Pets in epic mode don't get the speed/awareness bonuses that enemies do now
- other odds and ends

We're hoping to get almost everything basically fixed before we leave so that we can get this out as fast as humanly possible immediately after break. Sorry for the bumps in the road, but we'll get 'em smoothed out for you.

- Last day in office before break! We're flying down south tomorrow.
- Fixed a bunch of remaining things today -
- Party interactions from portraits work even if you aren't in the same instance/level
- Ditto for friends context menu/guilds
- Friendslist clipping issues fixed
- Fixed Hail of Magma not showing missiles appropriately on client
- Fixed various skill cooldown issues
- Fixed issue with fast-clicking doing skill expenditure overrun and wasting your skill points!
- Friendslist nicknames are back
- Fixed some corpse explosion damages
- Reflection removed from bosses - too devastating without real damage tuning going on at higher levels. We'll put it back when it doesn't one-shot you high-damage-dealers
- Made more boss dungeons farmable
- Phoenix cooldown fix
- Antidote durations protect against stone
- Adrenaline Rush/Thick Skin issue fixed

- Fired off a build - with any luck it will go into our internal test center tomorrow, and get some good testing before the break, while we're all in-transit to San Francisco. That won't be enough to get it out the door, but that's how hard we're pushing on getting this ready so that we can get it out as fast as possible when we can get back and assure that it is solid - just as a heads up.
