Mobs are a non issue until Insane where stuff kills your towers really goddam fast and kamikaze guys are sent in constantly.JWong said:
Huntress is important because 1 or 2 shots for 40 mana clears a linear path (that also goes through objects), and kiting is really important when larger enemies deal much more damage, or you can dodge boss attacks.
Plus the melee targeting is super magnetic, ick.
Prices reflect stats. Better will cost you more. I've seen a dragon at 1k and one at 1.5miltoythatkills said:
Guardians can get up to 15 million.
I'm sure you are on top of this, but is the message at least transferred over to the devs that people don't really enjoy long levels? (I'm looking at you Halloween map). I've heard others complain about how some later waves in stages are just really tedious and long (Over 30 minutes for a boring wave).Hitmonchan107 said:
Probably a good to skim the DD forums to get a general idea. See if you can find any well argued points or examples
The items in the store are based on your previously completed map. Low prices/stats for easy/early maps.toythatkills said:
I don't get the point of the portal gun attack stats. Is it only good for piercing shots? Left mouse and right mouse are reserved for putting portals down.

Have you tried turning off the "Step Towards Melee Target" option under the controls? It gives you total control whilst fighting.
Also does anyone know if some of the achievements are bugged? I keep redoing the tutorial, getting the achievement, trophy and the crystal model, but they keep vanishing when I restart the game.

I am absolutely loving this game, I have it on the pc and ps3.... playing the ps3 more going for the platinum and then ill likely change over to the pc version since it's likely to get more content.
I will say, however, the ps3 needs some tweaks, many of which the PC has already seen. First off the aiming suction, give us the option to turn it off please. It's so frustrating.
Secondly, only one camera allows you vertical control of the camera? Why? Also, on the ps3, it's very unpopular to put attacks on the triggers as they kinda suck and becoming tiring to use. L1/R1 are how you attack in most any PS3 game where you use both sticks.
The move support needs some love as well though i see this as not likely since im guessing we are a small population. Mainly it needs vertical control of the camera as well, along with better turning mechanics.
The game is great though. The 3D is also well done, thanks for throwing that in for the few of us that really enjoy it

What is it with this game? I just want to keep leveling up my character weapons & armor over & over. I'm not sure what I'm playing for but I keep sinking hour after hour into it. Is this what WoW is like? If it is I'm sure glad I never tried it.

Okay, WTF is this update for DD suppose to be over 1 GB?

Yep, it's exactly what WoW is like. Except in WoW there are some endgame raids to work towards. But honestly I was more hooked on leveling characters and outfitting them decently than anything else. By the time I took the WoW needle out of my arm I had each class at max level in decent gear.
This game definitely taps into that same part of my brain :/
Not really thrilled to have discovered all my progress on the Open server is pretty much worthless if i want to get in on any DLC/events like Halloween coming in the future. Sucks I can't move my character from one to the other, though I understand the reasoning.
Also, I got a pet for pre-ordering the game from somewhere other than Steam and have been using him on my character on the Open server. I'm guessing I can't get him again on Trendy's server? That kinda blows.

Same.
Upcoming Patch! (ETA October 31 2011)
7.06
* Rebalanced/redesigned Spooktacular spawns and added Leaderboard & Stats collection
* Made Spooktacular skins unlockable by beating Spooktacular on hard, though second set of weapons remain Insane-only
* Fixed various Spooktacular mission bugs
* Fixed chatbox getting stuck during level transitions
* Make costume unlock requirements clear in the costume selection
* Allowed mission unlocking at the mission selection screen
* Reduced self-heal mana cost ramp (cheaper to heal at high HP's now)
* Added "Drop All Mana" key, default "M" key, and keybinding added to configuration tool
* Fixed problem with Familiar attack rate being effectively capped (there was indeed a bug with this), and renamed the Familiar Attack Rate stat to "Attack Speed Bonus". Now high-Attack-Rate familars are way, way, way more effective.
* Made practice dummies average DPS over 5 seconds for a more accurate reading
* Fixed potential double-upgrade bug with superfast mouseclicks
* Nerfed Spooktacular "Van Wolfstein" weapon about 40%, and Piercing Shot overall about 30%
* Moved bonus-item crates back into the main section of the Ranked Tavern, out from the Secret Room
---
* Made Genie pet's "Grant Mana Bonus" upgradeable, and made him grant more Mana proportionate to how much its "Grant Mana Bonus" is upgraded
* Added Pause menu option to "Lock" game, which delists the game and prevents anyone else from joining it. Useful for turning public match into a private match, or making a private match totally unjoinable even by your friends.

Question for anybody able to answer....
I have a squire (lvl 70) who was previously specced for towers. For the sake of utility in the group on insane levels I'm moving to a hero damage build. I have a weapon with around 55 physical damage, and 5.5k~ poison, and when I put 70 points into player damage it's almost as though my DPS barely changed from my tower spec build. Does the player damage stat not have any effect on elemental damage?

The only things I care about. Having to open up my hero stat screen to drop all my mana from my monk to a tower builder took way too much screen sliding time on insane. Oh and the whole waiting an hour to win at the event as you watch millions of mana crystals and equipment despawn from the mass volume of crap being dropped all at once.
KrawlMan said:
They even say it on the hint text on the loading screen. Element damage is just set and can not be upgraded with anything other then upping the element damage on the weapon, the weapon's base damage takes from your hero level and the hero attack skill as well as the monk hero aura, so you are going to need a new weapon my friend.

So, um, does this work on Windows 7 64-bit?
I downloaded the demo on Steam and it just keeps crashing immediately after I hit 'Launch'.

Is there any way to do the dlc stuff on local? I can't seem to unlock any of the costumes or the level unless I'm doing the Online option.
Had a really shitty bug last night. I joined a game... but they were already bunkered down good.. so I really couldn't do much. So I just milled around until the stage was completely over. At the end I started to type, then the game went to load the next stage. Once it loaded the text prompt was still there and I was permanently stuck in type mode. Nothing would get me outta it, so I had to quit the game . All that waiting around for the next level for nothing.

This is exactly what I experience multiple times yesterday. I had to ALT-CRTL-DEL just to get out of it.

I don't see they couldn't include the pets in both Online and Open side. Some of those pets are really good when you hit that level.Edgeward said:

bad gameplay lol
So basically, Dungeon Defenders broke the PS3's entire trophy system. Pre-Dungeon Defenders, once you synced any new trophies, you didn't have to sync them again if you just wanted to view your trophies. Post-Dungeon Defenders, you have to sync EVERY TIME you want to view your trophies, regardless of whether or not you just synced them. I assume this is caused by the system still detecting unsynced trophies (Dungeon Defenders' trophies, since they don't sync properly).
Well that's nice.

It means on those difficulties, you won't be able to have non-infinite time on the build phase. Insane difficulty uses non-infinite time.Cloudius12 said:

It's randomized after each level completion and I believe they get better and more expensive as you level up. If you see a pet you'd like to buy but don't have the mana, make sure to lock it.
