Hi, Im playing since 4 or 5 months, I really fell in love with your game, but some weeks ago I started to notice an increassed lag, but since this morning It got worse.

After loading I keep getting messages about "Retrying quest" or "Request failed to contact server"... Meanwhile, game behind it, keeps moving farming gold/items from monster adding lag, also gears events, missions ready alerts, information about what I got while offline, buffed crusaders abilities, black screen when change lvl, running background. I know this game still beta, so I wrote some suggestion that could improve this awesome game.

•Hide messages when game starts. (Xp, gold, items gotten)
•Hide ability by buffed heros.
•Hide information when upgrading heros and purchasing their abilities. (Information about gears)
•Hide coins and dropped items by monsters when they killed, it could automatically be added to objetive floor.
•Option to stop background animation.

Thanks for you time. Henry.

Hi Henry,

We're aware of the issue and we're looking into potential fixes. Mindy's unique abilities have had some unexpected interactions with other characters and systems, and it's not as simple a fix as we'd like.

As well, the "Failure to contact server" is more likely an internet issue on your side, though it's possible the lag exacerbates it. Are you on wireless internet?

Hey Erika.

Guys told me about using Mindy so she is out of the formation. She good, but she doesnt worth if lags my game.

About "contact server", u right I noticed it too. Isn't wifi, it has 100Mb by second. Usually internet is good.

Well hope lag can fixed soon as possible, so I will be able to "have fun" hehe.

Thx for your time. I appreciatte your attention ^^

CPU usage has gotten extremly excessive. It used to go down to a few percent on my i7-6500U CPU when the game was not visible (like another browser window is the frontmost), but now it stays at more than 25% CPU even in background/idle mode. This probably explains the lag issues other players are complaining about.

Since the Flash isn't set up to run on multiple cores, if you have a 2 or more core machine, it will only ever cap out one of them. So on a 4 core, the game can only user 25% of your CPU.

I play with 2 computers, one from my home 1GB RAM, and here, office, 2GB RAM. Both computers present the same lag issues. I always focus my RAM on the game, closing another softwares or stuffs that could eat it, but it doesn't help much.

I am getting complete freeze up here as well, to where I can not even get in now at times. It's intermittent, but I assure you that my connection works fine with everything else.

Hi Erica, ok, so flash can only use 1 CPU core. But even then: an i7-6500U is a fairly new processor, and the game caps out this one core completely, even if it is not visible! All graphics gimmics of the game are turned off. I assume that the influences will be much more drastical on a slower CPU!

If you minimize the game it uses much less CPU power. Looking at the resource monitor the cpu load is distributed between the two cores/four threads of my computer. Still could be single threaded and just getting time shared between cores.

Mindy's ability messes up the two computer's I've tried her on equally, even though one computer is much more powerful than the other. Not as bad when you can stick her in the corner with only two abilities to copy. Best to leave her out while instakilling and only bring her out when you really need the boost.

Mindy is a memory hog or its the game when using her. I notice in task manager after about 30mins or so, game hits about 1gig of memory usage
