I think the servers are being repaired for the next 30 mins or so, well thats the message i got when connected, so give it a go in a bit.

Yeah it just finished reinstalling (and I was informed they just started updating according to twitter). Tried to log in and it took me to a screen with events and saying they're doing maintanence. Think the reinstall helped, before it was just outright failing to connect.

TrendyNet is going to be down for the next 30 minutes for the final set of maintenance. This should fix everyone's issues.

Latest i no from IRC

Update

TrendyNet is back up and DCs are fixed. Please let us know if you have any issues.

Cracking game. Well worth the money.

*felt slightly outgunned as a lvl1 Huntress with a lvl10 Bleek as Apprentice and lvl15 Frenchtart as Squire*
The way my shots did 10 damage and his towers did 800 was particularly depressing

What about my Apprentice staff I spent nearly 15k on and then dropped it just before the level changed so I lost it... now that's depressing!

I only played as the Hunter chic to take my mind off the staff.

I can't even find a good weapon

You have to sift through a lot of crap, especially as the red/yellow/green indicator isn't a very good judge of what stat you want. I was playing the Monk and as it was a party of 4, trying to melee was a little suicidal. Got myself a pretty powerful ranged weapon now after a hefty investment. Helps to deal with all the enemies that are immune to my Electric Aura's.

I really hope they add in an auto-attack. Furiously clicking starts to drag after a while.

Yeah, i feel sorry for my mouse. Be nice if you could just hold it down though

Purdy · 21 Oct 2011 at 00:01

You can autoattack by holding the click with hunter 0.o?

Just played 6 hours straight, haven't enjoyed a game this much on release in a long time. Sooo goood.

Just got to level 16 and items are bloody expensive in the shop though, but the squires spinning blades thing is ridiculous.

Only with her. Squire has to spam click, as does the Monk for both his attacks. Apprentice is tricky because his attacks charge.

Purdy · 21 Oct 2011 at 00:26

Bleh, guess i'm used to spam clicking due to Sc2

Yeah the slice thing is amazingly good. Nearly have it on my squire

My huntress is rocking 1.4k DPS and I've managed to solo the first map on Insane, and got to the last wave of challenge 1 solo too at level 28.

Pretty godly once she gets a good weapon, just gotta kinda stick with it.

infernox · 21 Oct 2011 at 03:28

Me, Pulse and Silent, Nearly done the Demon Lord on Hard, but jesus christ.

Well guess what. its HARD !

Level 22, 23 and 19 for reference. Got a Solid tactic down. Will get him down tomorrow.

Im a Monk. Others are Squires.

Finding the hunter sucks.

I know it's a team effort, but I don't want to sit around repairing other peoples stuff while they rake in the kills.

Anyone found any builds that positively mash face with her?

Another update

Update notes:
* Input Configuration now supports Mouse "Thumb" buttons 4 and 5
* Third Person Shooter-style offset Chase Camera for ranged classes, for better aiming
* Fix for a Mission Progression data bug, which could cause an issue with not having levels unlocked that you should have.
* Chat box no longer will close when pressing an alpha-numeric chat button while typing if bound to it
* You are now given the tutorial achievement in Ranked mode, so that you can progress towards Legendary Defender
* Ability Hotkeys 5-0 can now be bound in the Game Config Tool
* More TrendyNet client-side tweaks to further decrease Ranked disconnections
* Issues with Steam Cloud in Local Play should be resolved
* Local data automatic backup system
* Gamepad can now properly control the "Choose Multiplayer Mode" UI
* Improved Monk DPS Ramp

Surprised some of this (bolded) didn't come out in testing but glad they are reacting quickly - enjoyed playing as huntress but wow the view was irritating

Think you just need to place Inferno Traps further forwards or use Gas Traps in the middle of my Electric Aura. That last level they were right in front of the barricade and between the Aura, the Bowling Ball tower and my ranged spam nothing made it that far.

I really like her, my weapon only deals a few hundred damage a second but I'm slowly getting better ones all the time.

She's fast which is important to me because I don't like the pace to be slow.
