Since I have had the worst of luck in drawing characters, my first 4* character was a Pharaoh dog for a long time (got him twice actually - such bad luck). Since it was useless, I buffed my Magus Allied Soldier and used his Reflective shield as a pillar of my tactics, but we all know what happens in the Underwolrd when you use Reflective shiled. To make matters worse, now I get also get a freeze screen in the Battlefield Madness regularly, and I have to shut down the game and restart (should I mention the amount of Trooper points or Sands of time I lost in the process?).

As far as I am concerned, and I believe I speak for many players, I really respect what you have done with the game, and respect your efforts in this update, but please concentrate on bug fixing, as it IS the biggest problem for all players. I really like Iron Maiden, and the game itself is outstanding, but this is slowly becoming pointless, because we cannot tell whether we shall progress through the game or our progress shall be nullified by game bugs (I am currently in Underworld hard and cannot progress further due to Reflective shield bug, and my tactics are based on Reflective shield).

Really love the game, not meaning to be bitchy, and I really respect the effort put into this game, but please don't do anything else until you fix the bugs that are very frustrating and are probably the main reason that many people quit the game.

I agree. Since the August 9th update the game has never crashed more for me. Friday morning (I'm in the states) the game was unplayable. I wasted many Troopers (for which it would be nice to at least be able to communicate my attempts to play them to their owners and that the lack of points was due to game bugs) and lots of sands of time - I don't get the whole capping of game time. I don't really need anyone but me deciding how much time I spend doing anything. Maybe it's an American thing with freedom and making our own decisions or maybe it's the metal mindset of bucking authority and maybe I'm missing something but when I play a game, especially if I'm encouraged to spend money for gold, ironite, etc, then let me play it whenever I want and however much I want. OK, soapbox safely stored for now.

Two main complaints:

1. One of the big bugs I've seen since the update is addressed elsewhere as fixed. It is not. The near-endless, dwindling loop of reflect shield damage/misses resulting in a game that will hang for an hour - the extent of my patience before rebooting - was not a problem for me until the evening of August 11th. Currently, the False Angel Madness level hangs on the second battle when I've got a reflect shield up and one of the undead allied soldiers goes to cast...what, a heal all, I suspect, but it crashes so I never find out.

2. The game crashes seemingly randomly. Sometimes it's after I evolve talismans (talismen?) or selling inventory (Another soapbox on why, in this day and age, our time should be spent in a game keeping up with inventory? I mean, in the 70s when memory was at a premium and people stores things creatively with bit-fiddling, sure, but now? Please.) or looking at skills or just browsing the store. I have not help here because there is no obvious pattern. The game crashing is annoying and should be fixed before any other enhancements are introduced. Stability will go a long way in this community forgiving you of a host of other sins.

I love the band and I love the game - I wouldn't be so passionate about it if I didn't. If you can stabilize it, just stop the crashing, most of us will be patient for other bits of brokenness to be rectified.
