This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I added it and create a character, but haven't had much of a chance to use it. Other folks have. Some of my Facebook friends are already mid-level!

Played it through one and a half adventures before I saw through the advertising and limited (nil) interaction.

Looking at the leaderboard lists, there are some people who have been playing this game a lot.

How do you play this thing? I installed it, it let me pick one of several pregens, I picked the DB fighter, and now it just says I'm sitting there doing nothing. EDIT: Nevermind, it seems to take a few minutes before you can do stuff.

Its the waiting that annoyed me mostly.

Id been interested to know the technical reasons (if any) as to the delay. If you wait beyond the time limit, you can get several actions done in one hit, but why?

Two reasons come to mind: the load on the servers and, a non-technical one, if you could do it all in one fell swoops, I'd be done already. So would many, many other people who have time on their hands at work.

What bugs me a bit is that you the player have to wait for it, but it can't be made to wait for you. So you can't start an adventure, get sick of waiting for it and do something else IRL between encounters, find yourself in a bad situation, wait a bit and heal up before the next encounter so you don't die run out of HP and fail the adventure with no other consequences - EDIT: as if you had just rolled badly on the final encounter.

On the other hand... I just rolled a 1 and I still succeeded the task and got a minor reward wtf
