I managed to level up Tiberius to Lv 19 and now I have to wait 12 hours for the next level....
So, it would take me about 20 $ if I wanted to use gems to level him up and the rest 5 of my characters that are of similar level range.
And obviously, that would only bring them up one level and I will have to use another 20$ just to level them all up one more level after that!!!
If I just wait and do one by one, it will take me 72 hours to level them all up just one level!!!
Are you Glu guys in your right mind or am I to still play this game?
The only reason I downloaded this game was because I wanted a break for Baldurs Gate and have something to play on my ipod. I never thought I had to take a 72 + hours break every time I want to level up all the characters in my group.
Needless to say, I only paid 10 $ to have access to the best RPG game on my ipad right now and for a few more for extras I don't really need. It was a way to say thanks and to support the great job the guys did with reimplementing the game and make it available for ipad.
On the other hand, when I play HoD I feel that I am constantly extorted for money.
Sure the graphics are nice and there are relatively few bugs in it, but the business model behind it is just terrible.
I usually buy a few extras for free games that I though people have put good effort in developing them, but I am not planing to spend a single $ on this game out of principle.
I sincerely hope the game developers listen to the users and consider a few changes in the game with the next update.
This was the first game I tried from Glu and I am disappointed to the level that this could well be the last.

Yes quite annoying, isn't it?
To anyone who set the timers like that, rubbing his hands with greed I only have to say one thing.
At the moment as soon as I see in the game information "seller Glu games Inc" I immediately press the return button and do a new search.
nyxx / felmor / leogan & kassia = team one
Alia / thea / Brenna & Tiberius = team two
tlanac / rognan & zdar are backups
I considered it... but the cost in glu credits is too expensive for my wallet
Though i dont like training times, this massive reduction is nice. Now if i could just train more than one at a time, that would be sweet
We are listening to you all. Glad you are enjoying the game and thanks for your feedback.
However, i do think we should be able to train more than one character at a time. At least then you could train an entire team while playing the with other.
IMO, I think Glu would benefit from flipping around there XP structure. As of right now, leveling up happens quite fast because XP comes quickly. I think they should require more XP for leveling up so it takes longer, but there are no training times. Then, if a player wants to speed up the XP gain, they pay a certain amount of gems for 15min, 30min, or an hour to get it to a speed similar to now. I think I'd be more inclined to pay for temporary XP boost than to pay for a training cooldown, but thats just me
It mainly boils down to different playstyles though.
If training times are removed, I would spend glu coins on buying heores, getting that extra skills point (this i think is a must for all players), I started every character at lvl 1 so that I can max the skill points.
Buying equipment from the store like the great 25% XP accessory.
There are many ways for this game to earn money and training times will drive away more people than generate money.
Don't be glad, I only enjoyed the game up to party level 75, going from 75 to 95 has been a pain in the neck, the game now forces you to buy gear with gems in order to pass a new zone, and rare and legendary items from previous zones are a pile of rubbish compared with Normal/Used/Junk items from the new zones, and whenever you try to get a rare from the new zones, first you need to spend gems on gear from the store in order to beat the dungeon. Once you have spent the gems and you are able to beat the dungeon if you manage to get a rare drop, the rare drop is useless as the stats from gear bought with the gems at the store already surpasses the stats of the recently acquired rare drop. What is the point of a rare drop then?
So DON'T you dare to say you are glad that "we like the game", because at this point the game only proves that GLU is a company packed with Greedy Vultures thirsty of its clients' money, uncaring for the customer satisfaction, and with a game pace and design completely below the average of competing games in the market. If an update or improvement don't come soon I will send this game to hell and make sure your staggering greedy intentions are well known around game social networks. So that you can achieve the reputation you deserve.
Grrrrrr
:mad:
I'm glad you enjoyed the game up to Party Level 75. If you are unsatisfied, please take your anger out in the game, not on the moderators who are here to help you (and who, incidentally, have zero control over game mechanics or economies).
My anger is against GLU team, additionally I am looking for your help as a moderator and I consider you are part of that GLU team, if you are not a member and your presence here is "incidental" (as you mentioned) then what do you mean when you say "We are listening to you all" and "Thanks for the feedback" don't get it personal, just take it as a critique to the game; it is important for me to add some critique, its just fair. And I am looking forward to my comment be listened by all the GLU team, and if you can help in anyway to send my comments to those who have control of the economics and mechanics of the game, then I please ask you to do so, and again I infer you can as you mentioned "We are listening to you all" and "Thanks for the feedback".
Thanks!
Hi Seth, while a semantics battle is of little value to solving your problem, I did not say that moderator presence was incidental; I said that we have no control over game mechanics or economies, which is incidental to our main purpose. We relay information to and from the devs and do our best to communicate the needs and concerns of the community in a positive, constructive way.
Finally, if are claiming you did not make a personal attack, then in the future, it would better not to address your comment to me directly, with a direct quote of my words:
Once again, thanks for your feedback as we work to improve the game experience for everyone.
Thanks for listening
You're welcome.
Now it is been a while since the last time I played, I am just waiting for a huge update to come that can bring some balance to the game and make the pace a bit more playable, because right now I am somewhat frustrated!
... Oh Well!!!
This game, is too slow, I will agree on that. But it is doable to play further if you have lots of patience and realize that it will take you a couple of days of grinding to get further ahead. Or maybe it will be a couple of weeks. Just play the game a bit each day and enjoy it. You will be able to get past, with some patience.
--later:
The level up times are a complete joke. I woke up, played the weekly mission (no exp) and after four missions my party is ready for a 20 HOUR WAIT!!! to train!?!? Looks like the new update awards more experience. IMO, it's not a good thing as the game balance is completely out of whack.
