Inventory snapshot before battles

Suggestion:


  • Player enters the fortress
  • Player selects a chamber/room
  • Player selects a runestone
  • Timer starts
  • IMPROVEMENT: the app makes a snapshot of the character's inventory (potions, energy, XP)
  • The battle starts
  • If the battle ends in a normal way (player wins, player loses, timeout, player leaves the battlefield with conformation) - the snapshot gets disposed
  • If the battle ends unexpectedly (the Return to Map panel is displayed or upon other error messages) - the snapshot is used to restore the inventory: no potions, energy lost, no XP gained (can't be exploited)


Variation: snapshot before the room selection, so the lost runestone could be restored as well.


Concerns: I never participated in a group fight, so I have no idea how this could work with more than one players. Btw are they ever experience problems? All the complaints I saw before were solo players.


BG: And today I've lost 9 potions and dozens of energy to a "Server error return to map" error and I have got no response from the support. I am pissed off like **** of course, on the other hand I was thinking how to avoid situations like this and stop losing players to these sick cases.

    We've recently had a discussion on that topic that has pointed out more issues to keep in mind:

    • Achievements are affected / updated during the Fortress, some of which would have to be reset, others with would not have to be reset. So in terms of Achievements, a "unfiltered" Screenshot wouldn't work.
    • Group-Fights are messy in that regard

    Thanks for the link. I searched in Suggestions before I made my post. I did not see that.


    You are right. I was not thinking of the achievements (e.g. cast X Protegos). And yes, I had the feeling that group fights is a big No on this idea.
