I was really looking forward to the update until... 1000 gold per "more perks" potion, and we need to buy them on each game??!

The grudge against having to pay for perks was that it makes the game stressful because you really don't want to lose the money you invested in perks on that run. But if now I need to pay 2000gold on every game just to have all my perk slots, it makes it much worse than before! At least with the "same perks as last time" thing, I could generally fill up all my perks for less than 1000 gold. Now that option disappeared (since reusing perks is free,which is good), and we have to pay those fixed 2000 gold instead... 

I'm sorry to be complaining still, I know you just want to get started with the other things you're working on. And I don't know what the community thinks, it might be just me being grumpy ;) 

What is the most accurate way to pronounce Sirmin?

Like potato and tomato, Sirmin has some possible different ways of pronunciation:

1. Sir-min

2. See-ir-min

3. Si-rmin

4. Sir-men

5. See-ir-men

6. Sirm-in

Mr. Raptis, if you are reading this, can you tell us all what is the proper way to pronounce this jerk's name. Though each of these pronounciation may look same, it does make one or two letter difference in translation.

fun fact: if Sir-min pronunciation is correct. Sirmin's name sounds exactly same as a Korean word for common-folk.

P.S. One more question, what is your definition of heartmonger? Also having trouble with translating his name.

2) I think Bribe Destiny should be a togglable fate, similar to the bosses, for several reasons:

A) The initial unlock price is enormous, and took me a little while to actually unlock.

B) The purchase price per round is absurdly high for a perk that I might not even end up using, as I only use Bribe Destiny when, say, my mana management is down the drain, but Channel Mana and Battle Mage etc. are never showing up when I level up. Some rounds I may be just fine, and may bring along Bribe Destiny for no reason at all and waste either 750 or 1,500 gold.

C) Initially, in the old version of Solomon's Boneyard, I spent actual money to unlock Bribe Destiny, and now I feel kind of cheated. I still love the crap out of this game, but I feel like since I payed money to access this perk freely, I should have unlimited access to it here. I know it's probably one of the most OP perks, too, but I had gotten used to just having it around and not having to pay for it each round. I hope I don't sound too arrogant.

3) I think the extra perk slots should be permanent unlocks, as well. It's difficult enough to have to buy the perks that I need to advance far enough in the game to actually afford said perks every round as it is, but to spend a fair amount of gold every round to access what I would call a "fun" amount of perks gets kind of annoying. Especially since there's so much new stuff I want to try, but it's so expensive that I hardly have the resources to use them without going on an ad-watching binge spree every other round.

4) I know that this is something that you probably don't want to hear anymore of, but I would really, honestly, LOVE an option to disable the need to purchase the perks each round. The old Solomon's Boneyard was such a chill, relaxing game for me, because I didn't feel like I had to worry about messing up. If I had a short round and died within like 10 minutes, I could just say "Aw crap, that was dumb. Well, back in it I go." But with each round, I have to spend so much gold for the perks that I usually equipped in the old version in order to actually make any notable progress, that each round feels like such a massive financial investment for me, and it adds a whole new level of stress to the game that I don't particularly like. I feel like I'm managing a bank account while trying to earn enough funds each round to sustain my income so that I can afford the perks that I love to use. I would pay real money to have the ability to, at the very least, toggle this system off.

5) A sort of follow-up idea to my above comment: Another idea for a gold dump, since not having to pay for perks each round would, in turn, create quite the surplus of gold in people's pockets, would be exchanging gold for rings. Is that a viable idea? The prices would be up to you, but since people would have so much gold, they could possibly exchange 7,500 gold for a Magic Ring, 35,000 gold for a Rare Ring, and 75,000 gold for an Epic Ring. Those prices may be a little bit steep, but in all honesty, I really just want the relaxed enjoyment that I used to feel when playing Boneyard. I truly appreciate the effort you put into reworking the system, because for so many other games, it would work so well, but for this game, I feel like such a system is just out of place. It makes the preparation and playing of each round a little too stressful for me. I know that there's always the option to binge watch ads for gold, but I really don't like having to do that. I would definitely binge watch ads to for gold if I were to use that gold to buy some extra rings, but I really dislike having to binge watch ads just to afford my roundly perks.

- Sounds like SKHD is dead. How have so many people played it. Were they beta testers?

- How can I get SKHD?

I've been reading some korean game reviews of Solomon's Keep and I have seen a request by one of the reviewer(source: http://blog.naver.com/hunterjh/20126790544) that there should be some sort of infinite dungeon mode in Solomon's Keep. Considering the fact that it does feel bored after you complete up to gauntlet mode, I think infinite dungeon mode would be useful addition to keep the player engaged in the game. Of course this infinite dungeon mode is not the boneyard mode because those two have totally different style. Maybe you can call that feature "Solomon's Nightmare" and make the player to venture into the Solomon's endless dream. So... ...would you consider it as at least an add-on feature or something?

1. What happened to Solomon Dark

2. How can we get Solomon Dark

3. Why put ads on Solomon games

4. What can we expect on SKHD

5. Address other international fans like Koreans a thanks and promise to support additional language on SKHD

Hope you get enough poison resistances Mr. Raptis.

2. Do other classes(paladin, rouge, samurai) have mana?

3. How would you define the first order? is it more like covenant or more like knighthood?

4. Do you plan to put one sentence short description only for skill selection like old keep and boneyard or have both short and long description for skill like dark?

5. Is enchant staff, fortunate flailing, deflect be a mage skill in future?

6. Do you plan to change dialogue for the wizards in Dead Hwag or leave most alone?

7. I've seen a review about Solomon's Keep written in 2010 and saw a complain about few options for defense. Do you have any plans to fix that issue?

8. For Samurai skill name, do you choose Japanese (Ex. Henshin) or localized (Ex. Transform)?

9. Would each character has a choice to choose a sex or only has fixed sex for each character?

I am a huge fan of your games. I have played them since my freshmen year of high school and absolutely adore them on mobile platforms(Can't wait for PC!) 

I remembered seeing awhile ago that you believed there to be logical inconsistencies with having female adventurers in the games and that because of this SKHD would lack female adventurers.  I was wondering if you might be able to expand on that more. Ultimately I view this situation as analogous to you being the dungeon master in a game. You set the rules, you define everything inside of this space. So if you do not want to include them for literally reason I do not think anyone should care nor do they have a say. Using that same thought process you could also conclude them. On top of this there are female witches in boneyard, I really wanted to understand this more and to further understand the lore of the world the game exist in. 

Thank you for your time and hard work,

From my experience, every character that doesn't have magic missiles is instantly at a disadvantage since the damage output gets reduced massively. Keeping the bosses on your screen becomes incredibly dangerous from the third one onwards because of the teleport/charge/dash thing, making Fireballs less accurate and ice less useful. Furthermore, Shield is the strongest secondary skill available, any character starting out with it is automatically more tanky than any other class.

If I had to put them in tiers, I'd go about it like that:

(I'll list the combination instead of character names and the bolded name is the best-in-tier in my opinion. MM=Magic Missiles)

Strong: Lighting+MM, Ice+MM, Fire+MM

Acceptable: Lightning+Ice (by virtue of starting out with shield), Fire+Lightning (shield)

Weak: Fire+Ice, Single elements

Explanation:

These Tiers are assuming you're using the perk that gives you the first level of all primary skill effects and the one that gives +2 skill levels to all skills you start out with.

I was in the middle of a wazoo run got tired pushed home locked my screen and fell asleep. Woke up with no rings. I've had this game for quite some time, did that a million times and never once did i ever lose my rings before.
