If you have any friends on Android playing Ire that are going through a lot of crash issues, do you think you can spread the word that we just got a release note from Unity/Everyplay and are looking into it? Thought I'd ask. https://twitter.com/FeedtheIre/status/605996852312350721
This is for you @Dossy, and anyone else entering Atonement. I think I heard Mom just posted this in Notice. -- Coming Update on Matchmaking Rules The devs have received constructive feedback from users since the latest patch on Atone. Major issues collected are below: ○ Acquiring unacceptable Faith points in accordance with level gap. ○ Shortage of Corrupt ○ Difficulty caused by additional Corrupt invasion. The devs have worked on and made some improvements to help encourage more users to join matchmaking in Atone and also decrease penalties for defeated players. ================================================================ ○ Faith rewards revised. - Faith points are rewarded following level gap between players. - Players can reclaim lost Faith points when they successfully retaliate and redeem Corrupt. ○ Additional Corrupt invasion. - Additional Corrupt who invade players are to have lower levels than players. - When players defeat Corrupt, they acquire Faith and XP points in accordance with Corrupts level. - When players perish while fighting against two Corrupt, they lose only half of the Faith points rewarded for defeating one Corrupt. ○ Lack of Corrupt - The time of Conceal decreases to one hour when players are defeated by Corrupt invasion. - Matchmaking Rules are optimized. ================================================================ Improvements listed above will apply this week. The devs are also working on additional issues that will, hopefully, make matchmaking in Ire: Blood Memory more fun.
@Bloodangel: -ㅡ-;; Not exactly. I feel like such a bad person; I don't mean to mislead you... Time will heal all wounds. <-- This is some cliche BS, I know. I can only promise to keep b****in' at the devs though. As I mentioned, asking other devs in the area for ideas/solutions... Can't find anyone really forthcoming around here. So shrouded in mystery. I get it if it's their hard-earned know-how, but it would be awesome if someone would help a fellow dev find some direction! And, I think one of the reasons is that we pissed off a lot people in the big leagues when we went and self-published. Haha. Thus, a long hard road in front of us, even when it comes to knowledge-sharing. Hmm... I wonder if there any devs on TA. Edit: So asking around I hear that large companies still just outsource this or have a subsidiary on the operation end to deal with this. Okay... Not very helpful, but good to re-confirm, and keep in mind.

Infinity Blade! How did you know!? Lol. I wouldn't sell yourself short, you all have amazing production values and you don't have Epic to back you up! I love your game and really want to help it grow. I've been spreading the game by word of mouth but I will make a YouTube video soon too! I am going to contact some of my dev contacts and see if they have tips for efficiently stopping hackers while also allowing JB players to play. I will admit that I am JB and got the game to work, the power of JB is strong and it's not hard to get around, which is why I think it's not the best solution to problems long term. I will message you if I uncover any useful ideas. I am not a dev, just an avid gamer/tester but I am in contact with some indie devs and others who may have a solution for you and who may be more forthcoming and willing to share with fellow devs. Keep up the good work! Glad to see that premium mobile gaming is on your radar for the future. I hope this game pays off so you can continue to develop not only Ire but other games as well!
Sweet sashimi and tenpura, brilliant! Thank you. I thought I/we remembered you from somewhere; Epic/Youtube. Aside from PC/Console games, Infinity Blade was served as an impetus for a lot of us to join and initiate this project. We have a hard trail in front of us, and we have no fantasy of becoming an overnight sensation. I won't go into the dangers of all that stuff, but we aren't prepared for that kind of success, and what we deem a success entails many other things as well aside from monetary gain. We don't want to just blink in and blink out like so many of today's app games. Btw, about JB and stuff. Had a long and lengthy talk with the devs this morning. I think they are willing to prepare a build to address this issue in the next update. This means that though there might be a few changes, there won't be anything added to the update. Look at me, dodging around words.
Ha, I knew I recognized your name from somewhere. I used your guide(s) extensively during my many intense playthroughs in the IB series. Really well written stuff. On to topic: Good job on the devs for patching up network stability. I usually disconnect and lose tons of Faith after every 5-6 pvp matches before this update; now I have no issues at all. It's making pvp a less frustrating experience, so thank you. On another note, I finally crafted the Lyrius set and feel unstoppable. That life charge is practically essential to pvp in against other Lyrius users. I'm enjoying the extra life, but from a gameplay perspective, its pretty overpowered. Might want to consider nerfing it since 95% of the people in the top 30 are using that set. It just makes other armors completely irrelevent right now. I'd post more about the pve side of things, but I'm enjoying pvp way too much, heh.
@CRAYTATO: Thanks CRAYTATO. I believe that was the work of mostly the front/client side. As for Lyrius: Not for long, I think. Also, I heard this morning that we will be adding one more variable to the PvP. We wanted to add that to the last patch, but decided to check one a time.
I had a lot more fun with Atone this week. Weaker enemies meant I could spend time doing fun combos and not just go in circles waiting for the special attack to charge up. Now how does one beat the King? Is there any secret? Maybe I'm making it harder than it has to be by not using boons, or elemental equipment. By the way, being able to see how much time you e played the game would be nice. It's hard to tell.
Fun for the "weak" players too I bet # lol. I will have fun in Atone one day when I can not be killed in one combo lol. Hell take me...
Tactic 1: Hug his left side - or the side that he's wielding his sword - run around him and hit once or twice and repeat. Guaranteed you will dodge the first hit, but you'll need to either dodge or block the second hit if he does it. If you have any "Burst" weapons, the extra explosion damage makes this more of a battle of attrition. Tactic 2: Bait him by running in front of him and lure his first attack, run from it and set up a full 3-hit combo. If you're a great sword user, I spam the whirlwind attack (press heavy button 3 times) which staggers him after you connect the full combo, and repeat the whole match. Tips from someone that is lvl 21. Other higher players probably have a much easier time.
I also kite him until he does his jump attack, at which point I dodge perpendicular to him (And away from him) as he's closing the gap between you and him, then as he lands, I IMMEDIATELY dodge back toward him and hammer on my lethal. Takes chunks out of 'im, 'specially with the Burst Sword. Attachment: I spent a piece of my day and all my free time (which I apparently have a bit too much of) getting to ranked first in Atone. I'm going to cherish that while it lasts (Probably about a day and a half) :3 P.S. Love seein' forum members online. My friend Smidii sees you in particular, CRAYTATO, all the time and I told him about your involvement on here
Oh snap!! I was wondering who "Merrill" was in top spot haha. It was strange not seeing 'BOBA' there with like 5k faith points I don't recall fighting your character yet, but I've faced Smidii's toon aloooooooooot haha. Tell him I said hi! Hoping to run into your toon soon too! And grats on rank 1 right now Awesome tip on Lyrius btw, tried it and it works amazingly.
Do you mean that you would like to see how much time you have played overall? You can find some vids on defeating King Lyrius at Everyplay.
Sent you a DM. I think Mom will be able to help you with that if you want to retrieve your character.
@CRAYTATO @dudewelcome I was wondering who Merrill was, too! That's awesome. You are still on top! I got a few messages from another forum (in Korea) asking who you were. "Is Merrill the new Boba?!" and stuff like that. When the ranks refreshed for the new week 두부85(Tofu85) was at the top. That was sort of his objective for the week. Oh well. If you can't dish it... Anyway, looks like you are ahead by a lot. Coolcoolcool.
