Hmm, well for an insect swarm character the fight was easy, but the game crashed when he died. It did seem like it would be harder for someone that had to be in melee range to damage him hehe. I have other characters I can try it on.

I suppose ideally it would be a good idea to try it on a character that hasn’t done any side quests or anything too, since that might be much more common when the game is ready.

Ok, did it on a melee character, albeit a level 16 one. But it also went alright, didn’t take any damage. Killed him too fast to really do a decent job testing though. But it didn’t crash when he died.

It did crash a second time when my insect swarm character killed him. I’ll try her again without letting insect swarm get the final blow to see if it’s the skill or something else about her character that is crashing it.

Ok, killed him with something other than insect swarm on that character and it went fine, no crash. But I did notice that the cloud was attacking him before the fight even started, if it had killed him before the start of the fight, that probably would have been bad. He did come into the fight with less than full health.

Also the Fae Dialog is all super cute, can’t wait to play that part with my sister.

Plus her rivalry stuff too. Good job.

Well that is probably enough posts on your news feed, that could barely be considered comments on the news, hehe.

I really liked the fight since it was no too easy but no too hard. The only thing that could have benn better is his four-time-dash which he uses way too often. It just stresses the fight but does not make it more difficult.
One thing: Please do not update the beta further. I know I would play it if I had access to it. But I dont want to play the game in pieces – I want to play it in a whole. I cant tell you what to do with your game but I will appreciate if you stop updating the beta at this point until the game release.

Sogomn, that’s the whole point of the Frontline Beta -.-

If you don’t like it then switch back to the regular beta.

I think you misunderstood me. I meant the updated in general. I do not want to play the game before it’s released. That does not mean the frontline beta but the beta in general. But as I said: I can’t tell Pixel Ferrets what to do with their game.

Thanks for all the feedback!

@Sogomn: Our primary concern must always be to do what’s best for the game. I understand not wanting to play the unfinished game, but the beta structure is there to improve the quality and speed of production. The reason for our Frontline build is, as you already know, catch the most obvious and severe bugs. The Stable beta increases the tester pool and helps us find more obscure bugs and get feedback from a wider player base. So in this sense, both betas are too important for the development to stop updating!

Hopefully you can summon the restraint not to play the game too much in its unfinished state! Perhaps you should try uninstalling it on Steam so you don’t get tempted by the update notifications :D

Nice update guys!

The Marino fight was difficult for me at first but once I learned how to play again, he was fairly easy :)

I have one suggestion for the Fae character though.

Those speech bubbles really get in the way, especially when fighting. I understand that she’s meant to be as annoying as Navi but those bubbles often hide the enemies, making battles a bit annoying :)

Maybe the text could be in the HUD somewhere, for example the lower left corner?

This is my first run-through of the game and I play a 1H melee character who split all of his skill points between the rapid-stabbing skill and the “Flamethrower” style spell. Flamethrower demolishes Marino. I literally sidestepped him twice and cast silver-level flamethrowers each time and he was done. He just walked into a wall of damage and died. Others might have had some challenge with him, but I found his fight to be on the same level as a particularly ferocious Rabby.
