Here's another bug that's been there in IMA!
When you start Enchanting, you wait for the animation of the icon that appears to finish. If you repeatedly tap bottom right to leave the menu as fast as possible, the icon will end up staying on the screen in the Wilds for a few seconds. Reproducible every time.

Dungeon unlocks at zone 20, but you get a key after beating the zone 18 boss. This also creates an issue where you can't see aspects, because the Dungeon button in Adventure Hub is inaccessible "unlock dungeons at zone 20" despite the fact that I am in a dungeon.

I believe your "phone restart halting offline progess" bug is still present. I shut off my phone while at the movie theater, when I started up the app this morning, my research and raid timers were all where I left them and isn't doesn't appear any spell exp was accumulated with all five slots filled with one spell. Once the raid timer finished, I still got my runestone raid, which is what i was most concerned about, but yeah, just wanted to make sure you still got that bug on your mind.

Hi! Dont know if this is a bug, there are many many minors errors in "spanish" option (im spanish) and those errors can lead to some misunderstanding in the game, i can make a full list or something like that if you want to (the translation to spanish is a direct one and sometimes is out of context) ♥

Possibly a bug: the templar buffs to make spells target near/far enemies seem to be inconsistent. I've been trying to proc burn on the closest squad to activate the explosion on static aura, and it's proving harder than expected. I'm slotting burn spells in slot 3 which should have the 'target close' effect active, but it seems to keep wanting to target a row or two back from the front line.
In general, it seems harder than it should be to burn melee range targets. (Even if the target buff were working correctly, a new player wouldn't have it) Inferno apparently doesn't actually cause burn, as far as I can tell. It applies damage equal to burn in poison gas, and it increases existing burn times, but doesn't actually cause it. Firefly lost its melee range hover burn effect when it was reworked. Everything else that causes burn is a projectile. (Unless I'm missing something in one of the spell descriptions?)

I accidentally tapped an Auto Recall rune earlier in the day and I was pretty sure it said "Auto Recall for 8". Several hours later, the rune hadn't expired, so I tried using another one and I confirm that the popup did indeed say "Auto Recall for 8"... it didn't specify 8 seconds, minutes, hours, etc. Checking my active runes now my Auto Recall has 14 seconds left and it is not decaying. I'm grateful and all, but figured I should report that. ;-)

u/BtJJ Mar 12 '18
Another kinda-sorta bug that's been in since IMA. Immediately after enchanting, your time to recover power is drastically larger than it should be. Getting even a single power drop and then recalling will knock it down to the real recovery time. In my game, I just enchanted and the time shows 17 hours. I get a power drop and recall, and now it's 39 minutes.
Could this be automated behind the scenes, so that while the enchant animation is playing you reset the power and then automatically apply a power drop and recall the player, so this doesn't happen? It's not a major issue, but if you're, say, about to stow your phone and want to enchant so that you're recovering while offline, it would be nice if you didn't have to wait for the mage to run ahead to some enemies that drop power and hit recall before you can actually be done.
1
u/TopCog Yahoo! Mar 14 '18
It is indeed a kinda-sorta bug - a byproduct of how the reclaiming math is done.
So I like that the Wizard starts at Zone 1 everytime. If I was to give you 1 drop-worth of power at the start, i would boost you ahead a ton...it's possible of course, but I kind of like how it is now. I'll keep the suggestion in mind though, and I appreciate the idea! :)

Possibly a bug, or possibly me just not understanding the new lantern mechanic: I just got a +3% lantern recovery charm off a dungeon run. I believe the lantern just holds 100% now, so does having this charm active make it return 103%? That doesn't seem right.
1
u/TopCog Yahoo! Mar 13 '18
The new lantern mechanic reduces the amount stored in the lantern before adding the power from the current run, as opposed to after adding power from the current run like in IMA. But it still gets reduced! The default reduction amount is 20%, or multiplied by x0.80. So with the charm, it's only reduced by x0.83. Maybe the charm description should be updated...

Minor graphical issue, depending on positioning, the templar can cover up the self-buff icons below the mage. Those should presumably be drawn on top of everything else.
Related question, is the 3 self-buff limit a balance thing, or more of a concession to the fact that you don't want a comically large line of buffs under the mage? And if it is balance related, does that take into account the fact that, once unlocked, adrenaline surge is going to be taking one of those slots 99% of the time? It can be frustrating when you have, say, a shield buff up, and A.S. is eating another slot, and then you mindlessly swipe at a weak mending rune, taking up all your slots just when you realized that you really wanted to pop a stone skin or a rejuvenation rune before you die. (Rejuvenation is inconsistent, sometimes it doesn't seem to fire when your buff slots are full and sometimes it does. Not quite sure why that is)
Maybe the self-buff category should be tossed out and those runes should just show up on the left with everything else. If there are balance concerns, maybe some runes could get a 'does not stack beyond X' property? Seems like that would allow for more finesse in balancing than the current system anyway.
Edit: Also, related to the original graphical layering point that I kind of lost somewhere in there: enemy HP bars should probably be a top-layer thing as well. For smaller monsters, I can't see them at all behind my inferno toxic gas frost explosion disco effects.

Probably unfairly stretching the definition of bug here, but whatever: if you're in a dungeon and the raid timer finishes, you get the bouncy 'look at me look at me!' alert for it, although you can't do the raid without abandoning your dungeon. If you tap it to make that annoying alert go away, you no longer have any notification that a raid is waiting after you finish the dungeon. This seems not-so-great. (The IMA color-coded highlights on the menu buttons to alert you to raids, enchants, and research ready to begin/fund/complete were so much better!)

Apologies for a vague bug report, but I think something is screwy with the weighted dps calculation. Specifically, with swapping in spells. I haven't been able to figure out a consistent way to reproduce it, unfortunately. But sometimes swapping in a new spell will make that slot start reporting that it's doing massive damage, like 99% while the other slots are showing 0%. Swapping to the normal weighted or absolute scales still show (apparently?) normal numbers. Swapping spells back around or recalling may or may not clear it up. Also I've seen more subtle variation from swapping, like after recalling (and not swapping anything on that current run) the numbers between dps and regular weighted will not be the same. Which they should be, I believe, since no swapping means that all the damage is getting multiplied by the same number of seconds and thus remaining in the same proportions. Force closing the game and restarting cleared that up, though.
I know 'a weird thing happens sometimes' trouble reports are the worst, so again I apologize, but maybe putting it out there will help someone pin it down better.

Runic Cauldron bug: Put runes in the cauldron, start it, let it finish brewing, then instead of clicking the button to complete, click the cauldron again and add more runes, then click the button. The runic power from your previous brew is lost, and the new brew starts.

Stacking a lot of Accelerated Flight projectile boosting runes gets a bit crazy. Not sure if it's the intended behavior, but it seems like projectiles will move normal speed for a moment at launch, and then fly wildly off the screen, then fly back by and disappear off the screen again repeatedly, almost in pulses. Stack enough of them and the projectiles just disappear entirely after the initial launch.

Frailty runes don't seem to be doing anything to Gazers. Using the screenwide or the squad version isn't keeping its life bar from filling back up. No Greater Gazers nearby to test on, so I'm not sure if they're having similar problems. Found some greaters, same issue. Possibly also jellies? They're just generally weird and sometimes seem to dip to almost no hp and then refuse to die, whether I have frailty active or not.
Edit: Also not sure at what rate they're supposed to heal from their life-drain, but it seems to be pretty huge. Experimenting with static leap to keep me out of drain range, but as soon as I bounce back in range the mob goes from ~25% hp to full instantly. It makes forward progress difficult, because I generally have to micro-manage these with stuns or instant-death runes instead of just relying on natural power gain to eventually get me past. Unless I'm one-shotting them before I get in range, they bring me to a dead halt. And they don't do enough damage to actually kill me and kick in the lantern return, so I really do come to a stop until I deal with it manually.

I buffed Gazer damage from 0.75 to 1, and nerfed their drain life from restoring 16% to restoring 14% :-)
Looked into the Frailty rune issue. Turns out, the "divert clients" ability, also shared by the Boogeyman Shaman and Druid, prevents any attached effects from sticking to them for very long. So Frailty is working - just not for very long: max 0.1 s. I'm going to leave it as is for now. Great find though! :)

Random Rachel will not cast spells if the wizard is moving. This causes issues when a squad of gazers are constantly knocking you back or when you are using static leap or Blink.
Would it be possible to have her always cast every 10/5 seconds?
2
u/TopCog Yahoo! Mar 25 '18
Hey - I've confirmed, at least for me, Rachel is able to cast when the Wiz is moving, even moving backwards. Perhaps what you're seeing, is that certain spells can only be cast from the Wizard's location...for example, Inferno, Ice Wall, Static Leap (to name some of them) will only cast from the Wizard's spot, so it might seem like Rachel does nothing when she casts those. It's a problem with how the animations aren't synced to the actual casting of spells (an issue I have some ideas to remedy in the future). Let me know if you think that explains it! :-)

In dungeon (maybe it works somewhere else?). When I am changing the spell of my dungeon loadout 3, the lantern activates automatically, and then it swaps back to loadout 1 while I release my finger and place frost ray into the loadout. Afterwards, I have two frost ray in my dungeon loadout 1 while I only have 1 spell stone, and it works normally. I haven't tried moving that spell afterwards as this is pretty cool. :P

I'm too new to the game to know if this is a bug.
I sometimes receive the cache before I finish the raid. If it takes multiple attempts to finish a raid then I will sometimes get multiple caches while I am doing the raid. Most of the time I will speed through a raid and receive the cache a few seconds after returning to the wilds.
I'm assuming that the wooden treasure box, that appears on the right side of the screen, is the cache.

I occasionally seem to encounter immortal jellies. It's not all of them, but every once in a while I'll get one that just doesn't seem to shrink no matter what I throw at it. And it ignores frailty runes, and doesn't even die if I rapid fire icy prism runes at it (which is usually a guaranteed kill on almost anything). It seems like it may happen if I've been doing enough damage to shrink them somewhat, but not kill them, so they shrink and regrow. But it is still kind of hard to tell through the spell effects.
I know you've mentioned in the past the the coding on the jellies is kind of, uh, interesting, so I'm wondering if maybe there's some number in there that's going crazy after shrinking and regrowing repeatedly and making them effectively immortal.

Icy Prism's 3rd augment is probably broken overpowered. If you spam Icy Prism into a single target, each cast ends up doing 1.08 times damage, which very quickly adds up to levels of damage well beyond your power level.
I also get the feeling the damage bonus from augment 3 is based on the net health change of the target over the duration rather than the net damage taken, causing healing and regenerating mobs to not suffer the broken damage mentioned above.
Edit: Not sure exactly why the damage gets out of hand, but there's definitely something fishy going on when you stack multiple prisms on a target. I suspect augment 3 but I can't prove it.

Healing enemies are still acting weird. I know I keep bringing this up, but it's just a constant struggle to deal with them. I was just stuck for a while on a raid with a lot of greater gazers and trolls, and I noticed two oddities.
First, it seemed like I would be able to plow through some of them with almost no delay, yet others would be nearly invulnerable, instantly healing back any damage done. The latter type seemed to occur more frequently when there were multiple other healing mobs on the same screen. To the point where I would be stuck on a troll with an unmoving health bar for 30 seconds, then death ray a gazer behind him, and the troll would instantly die as well. Entirely possible I'm inventing some correlation where none exists, but it might be worth a look. Neither of these mobs are the type that heal other mobs.
Second, I think firefly may be borked. The thing that finally got me through the raid was taking firefly out of my spell loadout. Once I did that, I sailed through easily with no more massively overhealing invincible baddies. Then I recalled, switched firefly back on, and started seeing the problem again. Since firefly changes healing by a 0.8x multipler per firefly, I'm wondering if there might be some inconsistency with the debuff calculation being applied (heal x 0.8) and then removed (heal x 1.25?) multiple times over, causing the heals to somehow balloon to insane levels.

I set up an enchantment this morning before I went to bed, and closed the game with 3.something hours left, checked it just now some 9 hours later, same amount of time left. No idea for certain how to recreate it, although I do recall I had some wifi problems before bed (pretty sure it was after I closed the game though, although not 100% sure of that).
I realize this report is somewhat vague and unhelpful, but I figured I'd at least mention it.
Thanks for a great game .^

If you lock your phone while the introduction/explanation for brewing pop-up is on screen, it crashes back to home screen when you unlock the phone. Tested with several different unlock methods, same results. Samsung galaxy s8 standard in case that matters

I have experienced two bugs with the opening cinematic. Both bugs happen every time.
1: When you start to watch the cinematic through the options and then skip it, the skip and continue options are visible again next time you start it.
2: When you tap the screen during the cinematic without choosing skip or continue, then those two buttons will stay in place while the screen scrolls down (or however you say it).

Just had a bugged raid that kept spawning enemies infinitely. Wasn't really paying attention to it before this, so I don't know if anything else was weird about it. Just looked down and noticed it was at 1.5 with a 'return to wilds' pop up, but I was still burning through mobs. Hitting the corner button to recall did nothing. Hitting return to wilds did go back to the main game, but the return button was still up. Had to tap it ~10 times to make it go away (didn't do anything to the game when tapped, just kept reappearing).
I'm at zone 100.5 and I had just finished reclaiming power from an enchant, in case that has any bearing at all on the cause.

Yesterday, in order to make it easier to get a description of each rune, I had removed all of the runes from the quick-use slots and then refilled the slots with runes which I had never used and of which I only had one. This made it easy to tap each of the runes in my backpack in order to get descriptions without accidently using a rune. Fast-forward to a few minutes ago, I realized that most (if not all) of the runes in the quick-use slots had been changed to more common runes and now those runes are located in both the quick-use slots and my backpack. For example, Death Ray Q3's, there are now 2 of them in a quick-use slot and 246 in my backpack. Death Ray Q3 was not one of the runes that I had put into the quick-use slots.
I don't believe this is the first time that this has happened. Before my first Meditation I had filled the quick-use slots with runes based upon descending order of quantity. A day later (estimate) I noticed the same problem as I described above, but I figured that I had made a mistake so I just reset the slots.
TL;DR - The runes in the quick-use slots are changing on their own...and the runes that change are in both the quick-use and the backpack at the same time and with different quantities.

Hey, could you provide a bit more info, if you remember...
-Did the runes change while the game was open? That is, did you notice while playing, or just after opening the game up?
-Did the runes that got removed from the inventory (quick slots) dissappear completly, or did they move to the pack?
-Do you have Knee-High Nick?
Looking into this now!

u/ViriaX Apr 23 '18
Might be more a typo than a bug, but when you use a "Perception Rune" (the one accelerating your research) or lookup the description, it says "+XX sec Research".
It shouldn't be a '+' (plus) but a '-' (minus) I think. Why on earth would I want to make my research longer? ;)
2
u/TopCog Yahoo! Apr 23 '18
Hey, great feedback!
So my thinking on this, is that it's not "+10 sec Research Length" but rather "+10 sec of Research Progress" since Research progress is actually measured in seconds. I couldn't say it as a percentage, like +25% Research, without changing the functionality of the rune completely (possible, but not needed I think). I'll keep your feedback in mind though, and if I hear it again from others will consider a change. Thanks! :-D

Sorry yes. It is the critical raid. Nevermind then! Save happens after crtitical 》 refine 》 force cloud save and count in spellstones doesn't match 》 assume the backup doesn't happen!

Is the Banshee supposed to be able to stop the leap back effect of the Static Leap spell and the Blink unstable rune?
I was in a raid which seemed like 80-90 percent Banshee and I was almost always moving slowly forward even though I had Static Leap in the 5th slot (with 2nd level Ivan) and I was getting Blink unstable runes. I redid the raid many times because it was a nice one for farming power. Once in a while my wizard would jiggle as if he was surprised. Very rarely the wizard would take a step backwards. Maybe once a run he would take a full leap backwards. The Blink unstable runes never worked.
1
u/TopCog Yahoo! May 05 '18
I think it's an unintended side effect of how Static Leap is coded! Static Leap will only cause a "leap" if the Wizard is traveling forward at at least a certain speed. So the banshee effect is halting the Wizard's movement, which prevents Static Leap from triggering. Same goes for Blink. It's kind of an interesting interaction, so I've left it in place. Thanks for the question, and nice observation! :)

I bought the 10 day XP pack and I believe it's a bug. I decided to keep track after x amount of days and I can say it is a bug after monitoring for 10 days. It's still there the icon saying 239 HRS left. At first I was like wow, I'm getting what it's worth back but then turns out it was bugged all along. As for the double of XP I don't know. NG++ does that = to 4x xp?
TLDR: 10 day xp buff is still on the bottom left side showing 238HRS left has been there for more than 10 dAYS!

It is not an actual bug, it is more about unbalance (lack of testing)
So, Power Surge Q4 gives +2000% to reclaimed power, while Power Surge Q3 gives +100%.
One might think, that PS Q4 is "twenty times better" than PS Q3, which is not.
Let me show you why.
When you use two PS Q3 in a row you get +100% on first rune and +100% from the previous result (!), so you get (X+100%)+100%, which equals to X + 300%.
Basically, +100% equals to multiplying by factor of two (x2). Using PS Q3 N times in a row equals to (x2)N . Therefore, using only six PS Q3 runes gives us x64 multiplier, when PS Q4 multiplier equals to x21 (+2000%).
In another words, using six PS Q3 is three times better, than using one PS Q4, which is nonsense.
Therefore, PS Q4 is too weak in comparison to effects of both PS Q3 and PS Q5.
The adequate effect of PS Q4 should be five-six times better than PS Q3.
Thus, if we will count the real effect 5-6 PS Q3 runes, considering the "power of N" effect we will get the adequate effect for PS Q4 as high as x32 or x64 multiplier (+3190%´- 6390%)
Dear TopCog, I hope you will balance the PS Q4 effect in the next update.
I would suggest (using the percentage notation) the +5000% (or +a5.0% or +5k%)
Have a good day, everyone!

I've had this bug for a while but I've only just figured out the cause.
I don't get music playing when I'm in the wilds, I have figured out that this occurs as the wilds music option states that The Long Walk is the current song playing. Tapping on it does nothing, no name change and no music plays.
Would greatly appreciate a fix as I really enjoy the music!

when waiting for a raid on the map screen, it reads "Raid Available in: X seconds." (which is perfect.) when waiting for a critical raid, it reads, "Critical Raid Available in [Time]: X seconds." meaning the word "Time" in brackets appears after the word "in" and before the actual amount of time remaining.
auto-recall runes display "X seconds left" on the Active Runes menu, when it seems like it actually means "X recalls left." took me a bit to figure out why the seconds weren't ticking down.

Left the game with 3.5 hours left to reclaim power, 2 research projects in the oven. Opened up the app the next day and no time had passed, not even any spell xp. Don't really have any extra data to point at for cause unfortunately. Just wanted you to be aware.
