High Fantasy Idle Demo

feel silly for asking but do the upgrades related to clicking still apply if i have the auto farm enabled?

Suggestion: For a lot of shop items and perks, the effect is to increase some how much gold / research / exp / damage you do or get per second or click. But when I'm trying to pick between getting a perk that increases my exp per click by 2 or my exp per second by 2 or if I should save it to get something else, it is hard to evaluate those when my exp per second is already multiplied by my exp modifiers from might and hardiness. 

It would be nice if there was somewhere that summarized what all of my base stats are without their multipliers.

i.e. My current exp-per-click before modifiers is 15. So an additional +2 exp per click isn't that big of a deal.

Suggestion 2: It would be nice to see how the various stats are contributing to any aggregate measurements.

i.e. I'm making 4m exp per second already with autofarming enabled, which is already taking click and per second rates into account... It would be nice if I could see a hypothetical tooltip that showed that was from a static 500k exp per second and 3.5m as 11 farm actions per click * 10 clicks per second * 0.6 (percentage of time spent working instead of sleeping) * 58 exp per farm action * might-based-multiplier

Typo: Researcher skill "Professional Development" says it increases your exp gain by 500%. But it actually only increases by 400%

(I currently get 84.28k per second, but with Professional Development toggled on, it becomes 421.41. That is 500% of the original, but that makes it an increase of 400%)

Fun game but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get researcher

Please change Focus Mode in Godot to None for elements that shouldn't be interacted with. The white border on *everything *is driving me insane xD

Edit: Also, could details that don't change between rebirths stay visible in the Researcher lives? Things like the design and color of the books, the titles, etc.

k. So.
Achievements are practically worthless.
Farmer passive income is so weak it's pointless
Soldier feels *too* idle in that you almost can't speed it up at all
Soldier gold is far far too slow to gain
Soldier is a complete gear check to begin with and is useless later (starts too important and ends not important enough)
Researcher takes too long to get to (and should indicate where the missing upgrades are before you get there)
Researcher has good meta progression.. but feels really bad to play itself
Feel you're forced to afk at certain points in the game as there's no way to make timely progress
Sleep is pretty pointless for the farmer and increasing capacity can sometimes even slow you down
Oh and as a consequence of the soldier armour being useless the thorns perk becomes useless too (as well as the armour before that)
The rare drops seem like they'd be the most interesting feature but they don't turn out that way, it just leads to afking, often far far longer than you'd want, and can't even do so offline
Perma perks also seem a little too hard to get for the time being but I imagine more skills would naturally ease that over time (also the soldier permas need some clarification- was unsure if it would be possible to beat an enemy without skills after buying them, saw it was after getting them, but certainly put it off for a while because of that)

Finally, someone else said about gold/s on researcher for might - I'm hovering about 95 might now, it never said I got any bonus, it was always 0% boost
I did see you said reworking balance was a priority but yeah it needs a lot of work.
Didn't think i'd even play to researcher due to grievances but between some irritating offline farm and at least wanting to be clear when speaking against certain parts of the game (such as if the solution was just around the corner- which it wasn't), hobbled to mostly end of content

Honestly pretty weird that only Researcher has a missable challenge (or i don't understand which book is 'the first' one)

I don't understand how the price of items can go from 90m to 990b in one jump. 

That is a LUDICROUS jump. This seems to be the main con lately with a game like this. They make the entry level quite easy to attain, and once you get to a certain level now it becomes unstainable. This will likely include a p2w service at some point, I guarantee.

I don't get why people can't just make a somewhat logical game that is rewarding and enjoyable. People WILL buy that sort of game. People will not buy a game where 1 item jumps from 90m to 990b. That is pure stupidity.

Also regarding any game of similar fashion. It needs a solid off-line earning system. This game does *NOT* give that. Yes, you do get some bonus. But lets be honest, the game really requires you to actively play it for 100+ hours straight fully online the whole time. 

Looks like the Researcher's Epiphany might not work properly when something's being Published?

does the demo end at the 6th wave of the third dungeon?

Quality Ink says it reduces research speed by 50%. It should say that it reduces research time by 50%

Should might 50 really give +0 gold/s to scribe?

Not sure how I found this game, but played 0.4.1 for a bit, and have some feedback for it. Not sure I enjoyed it, but will definitely take a look at it later.

1) First life as farmhand is super tedious to overcome. The lack of available sleep or food, waiting for sleep to refill, and being unable to acquire auto-farm, was really torturous. I nearly gave up on the game at this stage, as the grind is horrific... even with an auto-clicker program. 

-> Maybe change it to level 5 as a maximum, to get the player's feet wet, rather than level 11. Without any wisdom stat it takes hours to reach it. 

---

2) First life as squire is also pretty torturous to overcome. Even with a nearly maxxed out perk tree and many things available to purchase, some of the fights have too much health vs the amount of damage you deal and so the training area totally kicks your assets. Once you finally get out of the training area, you have accumulated enough might to return as a farmhand. 

-> I think that to make it more fair, you should increase the fight timer to 60 seconds. As several fights I'd lose with less than 10% enemy health left.

-> Also when you lose, you get knocked back a stage in progress, which also sucks.

-> It might be nice, to leave an inheritance for your next character of the same type. So if you reach 100,000 gold, leave 25% of that for the next squire. So that they aren't starting out completely fresh next time around.

---

3) Second life as a farmhand I got to I think level 21 before I rebirthed as a squire.

-> XP and Gold requirements massively increase over time, which makes for progress a lot harder.

-> There isn't that many items to purchase either, so progress becomes farther and farther apart.

-> I do however like that different stats gained from rebirthing characters, has a different impact on each class. 

---

4) Second life as a squire I got to goblin forest, killed a ton of goblins to unlock researcher. 

-> We need some stat that controls rare drop chance for the squire. It took me a little over an hour to get the 25 pages needed to unlock the researcher, and this was with the squire one-shotting enemies that drop the pages. 

-> I earned about 15 poison potions out of 100. This is going to take me a LONG time to complete. 

-> Feel the perk trees are very limiting. At a certain point, you have all the golden perks and all the other perks. If only we could upgrade multiple ranks for perks, wherein you can only reach the next rank for a rebirth. So having 2 times played as squire, I could spend perks twice. 

---

5) First life as a researcher, and not really understanding things. 

-> Not much to purchase to improve my efficacy/efficiency. 

-> I earn pages... lots of pages. Millions to billions of them. 

-> I can publish books. Cool concept, where you can make upgrades for other characters on a character. Wish the farmhand had some way to do that for the squire and vice versa. Maybe that poison potion acts as a great fertilizer for the farmhand. 

-> It takes so long to fill a book of chapters. I really think that if you have clearly more than enough pages to fill a book, it skips the animations of filling the chapters, and just gives you a book. And as many books require 25+ editions, this is a lot of downtime waiting for a book to get completed. 

-> I see that you can only publish 1 edition per life. Going to have to rebirth a lot of times for researcher, and not sure I'm going to have the willpower to grind to do so. 

-> Offline idling won't fill chapters you see, and I can't queue up books, so I have to sit at the computer to fill each book manually and its super tedious and exhausting and probably the ABSOLUTE WORST aspect of the game right now. 

---

6) Back to squire. Completed goblin forest and onto tomb. 

-> Necrotic essences are taking even longer to gain. It takes 100+ to reduce necrotic power attacks by 1. So most of the time you think the thing is bugged. 

-> Really need some one-off consumables. A healing potion or a short term buff or something. 

-> Stamina depletes too fast and game isn't good at deciding when to use it. Keeps wasting stamina on an attack that will one-shot a target without using the skill. 

-> Defense seems to do practically nothing when enemies are hitting you for 10,000s of damage. 

---

7) Back and forth between characters. 

-> I have decently high stats, but can't get about level 45 for farmhand, 43 for squire, and something like 41 for researcher.

-> Gaining points for rebirthing is harder and harder now, to the point that I'm not earning anything each time for farmhand and squires. 

-> I have enough perks by level 35 or so, so I complete the tree. Getting tedious to have to refill the tree each time I complete a rebirth. 

-> Not earning any new story or I sequence broke something. 

-> On 6th edition for researcher, and I think I've played enough researcher to know that I will smash my computer if I have to wait for another book to be completed. 

-> Got to 155 necrotic essence before giving up on Squire. You don't earn rare drops when inactive and the drop chance is too low. 

---

8) Misc.

-> I'm done playing 0.4.1

-> I found one secret achievement (Yarr), but couldn't figure out how to unlock the other two. 

-> I fully achieved farmhand and researcher. The only two remaining for squire was poison potion (76/100) and necrotic essence (155/200). 

-> Is this a Clicker has too high of requirements. And it doesn't even tell me how many clicks I've done. 

-> Welcome to HFI doesn't count inactive time, only active time, so its going to take forever for me to reach even the first rank. 

---

Lots of good things with it, like music for each character, different minigames, and easy to use interface.

Hope some of this helps. 

Game is fun, but so far a few basic issues. Game pauses when out of focus, I'm gonna try the loadable verison, but still a bit annoying.

Also : might stat did nothing until i had at least 6+ which was weird.

Why version on windows after scanning via antyvirus eset nod showing virus Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml?

Are the published books supposed to reset on rebirth?

I thought the buffs are supposed to transfer to other classes but when I rebirth into researcher the books are back to untitled?

Fun game. Unfortunately my game data was erased and loading the backup isn't available on the web version.

I think the XP gain for researcher is bugged. It says 1.45k on the level up screen and 144k on the stats page.

Amazing Idle game so far! Cant wait for a steam release. Will definatly be a purchase

I love it! Tbh my perfect game, both with the meta-progression and individual classes. Im stuck on how to unlock the 3rd class though - is it through normal gameplay or is there a special way?

Very fun honestly from what ive played this is about the quality id expect of a full game.

Doesnt work in inactive chrome tab, makes idling impossible.

There is a bug when backing up. It lists things from your folder structure, and not locally.
