F A Q « Thread Started on Jul 19, 2008, 7:58am »
Lets do this! ... collect the most important posts and paste it here I will update this as often as i can When we work together, this wont take too long.
Q: This isn't an mmo! OK. "the beginning" is kinda like Tetris/Bejewelled... but it will evolve to an mmo
Q: Is there a story? The Intro says the following: What is it that seperates reality... ...from fantasy ? For one little girl... ...the only way to survive our reality... ...is to live in her fantasy.
Q: What moves are available? horizontal move: tip and hold a block with your finger and move it horizontal rotate: flip your i phone to see the gravity change restock: to get more resources into your area: "pull" the bottom line with two fingers pinch: (unknown.) pull: (unknown.) swipe: (unknown.) shake: Since rotating your device spawns new blocks, you can also spawn them by shaking your device.
Q: Is there a pause control? If you push the pulsing back button in the upper corner of the game it will pause and take you to the summary view. From there you can choose to resume the game at your will.
Q: There are not enough blocks for blueprint XY? Get more blocks (See "restock" at "What moves are available?")
Q: I cant use the party feature? (dont know .. is it working fine now?)
Q: I keep popping blocks but I NEVER level? Well, if you have NEVER leveled then there is a problem with your character on the server side. You will need to delete/recreate it. If you are simply stuck after leveling a few times it is probably because you have not purchased the newest blueprints/magic books. Head to the 'store' and purchase the available blueprints/magicbooks to access the higher levels
Q: What are scrolls? They tell the story of Aurora Feint...but are not out yet.
Q: How come I am still 'Category 7' (fixed now?) There is a problem currently where people will 'cycle' through category 7, it seems to be the limit at the moment.
Q: I don't see any Tool Blocks? What are Tool Blocks? Tool Blocks are unlocked with blueprints (or earning tools).
Q: What does 'Most Blocks Popped' mean? This refers to the most blocks you have popped in one single move.
Q: Is there an index of skills? I have one but since im not supposed to disclose every secret of the game I am only showing the details of the first level of every skillclass or however its called: http://stuffetc.de/AF/inventory/index.php
I read Something about spyware stuff? This is only true for version the outdated version 1.0.0.0 : It DOES send your unencrypded contacts when you say "refresh friends data". I dont think it is stored. http://aurorafeint.proboards100.com/inde....play&thread=315 In version 1.0.0.1 the data is sent via HTTPS.
Q: How can I adjust the sound settings? iPhone: You can use the volumn buttons to turn the music off, and the ringer swith to turn off the sound effcts. iPod Touch: v1.0.0.1: On the touch double tap the screen and controls will pop up that control the music. Like in the ipod part of the touch. 1.0.0.0(workaround): To lower to volume in general, go to Settings:Music:Volume Limit from the home screen of your iPhone or iPod touch. This sets a global volume limit.
Q: (Why) does it require an internet connection? Once installed you could technically play this game withou an internet connection. BUT: The upcoming Party features won't work and you don't have a backup of your gamedata. If the game locks up and you have to reinstall it you will lose all your achievements. Normally it tries to sync at every gamestart, levelup and when you leave the mines. (no guarantee but my experience) Danielle: "In a future release we will try to have feedback about whether your current stats are or are not synced. "
Q: My game hangs on the loading screen and the crashes? You need to turn off your iPhone/iTouch with the button on the top of the phone and then try the application. If you still cannot start the application try a fresh install.
Q: I can't read the full item description, why? This is a current issue with the 1.0 build. The Developers mentioned that this will be fixed in the 1.0.0.1, for more information check out http://aurorafeint.proboards100.com/inde....play&thread=164
Q: My blocks are all jumbled up and get misaligned, is this normal? Well unfortunately it is normal right now, but it is an issue that has been fixed with the 1.0.0.1 build. Please standby for the update.
Q: My blocks get really big sometimes, and stay that way. Again, this is a common error found in the 1.0 version, this will be fixed in the update.
Others
Q: How do I get my own avatar/signature for this board? Go to http://stuffetc.de/AF2/ and follow the instructions
Q: How can i rename/delete/reset/transfer my account? rename: in update 1.0.0.1 it's available reset: in update 1.0.0.1 it's available transfer: the devs are working on that.
Q: What is "iMmo"? It seems to be the working title and project name for "Aurora Feint"
Q: Is this game free? Its currently free to use. You don't have to pay for the 1.0 Game, don't have to create/pay for accounts to store and sync your data and the update to 1.0.0.1 is free, too. (this doesn't mean that it won't stay free forever but this is all I know.)
Q: Does this game have any tutorials? What is going on?! There are basic onscreen instructions but other than that, this is all we have. The developers have said that they will add additional onscreen tips in the and tutorials in version 1.0.0.1. The community here is working on guides, FAQs, and general information regarding the game. So keep checking back!
Q: Where can i find crash reports? Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\<devicename> WinXP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\<devicename> Mac: <username>/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Mobile Device/<devicename>/
Q: Where can i find my device ID? Vista: C:\Users\username\AppData\roaming\Apple Computer\Lockdown Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\Lockdown MacOS X: ~/Library/Lockdown/ It is a string of 40 characters, which should be the name of the only .plist file there. Easier way: Plug your device in, open itunes, find your device under the 'devices' category, go to the summary tab, and at the top of the screen, it should say name, capacity, software, etc. there should be a label called 'serial number'. click 'serial number', and it'll change to display your device id.
Suggestions for more FAQ-data? Or did I make mistakes? Anything not understandable?

All I really got at the moment.
If someone is restarting can you please, please, take screen shots of the magic books and similar resources/make notes of the price of all blueprints and magic books and everything so we can start a game FAQ with even more information
I'd be happy to do this if someone gets the screen shots.

but it is 2339 lines long
Hmm you want to shoot it over to me in an email and we can go through it.
I agree that people should do them on their own, but we both know that regardless if the information is here or not people will come and ask. It would be nice to have a *SPOILER* thread in attempt to keep the rest of the forums clean of "OMG I CAN'T GET THE WIND BOOK!!!One"
If you have aim, msn, yahoo, gchat or anything shoot me a PM how we can communicate and I'll start going through the info
Honestly I was looking at the smiley's and I like it, and since I usually, well *try* not to be mean, I never get to use it and I have to stick with my personal favorite of ';D'
Just trying to mix things up I guess.
What can we expect in the official FAQ? Is there anything you want us to specifically keep out of this one? Can we post all the item information, or is that going to be too much information, as in you want people to figure it out on their own?
