I got a good ways in over the past few days, brought my hdd home and hooked it up... and now all my progress is gone... wtf. It still says my level is 16, but nothing I unlocked is available.
Nitz.. tried the suggested fixes for the saves from the xbox.com forum, no dice. I'm amazed that QA didn't catch this, especially for a game marketed as being a multiplayer setup.
That being said, unless this is patched I fear Castle Crashers is gonna get relegated to the growing list of xbla games that I never touch anymore, which sucks cause I was having an absolute blast with it.
Gotta admit I liked the rank 3 ice powers. Raining down three of those freezing shards from the air a couple times in a row does wonders for slowing down how hectic the gameplay can get, especially when playing against those friggin arrow-shooting theives.... DAMN YOU THEIVES!
flaagan: The fixes don't work for everyone sadly. This is just a major problem that they will ideally have patched soon. Hopefully the devs are on it and not seen idling about PAX, sipping on a tasty beverage.
I'd like to go back in and play the game online now that I've beaten the main game, but I'm afraid of a random deletion.
alright i'm bored as shit tonight, was gonna draw but i REALLY wanna play CC but I don't want to play alone - who's up for a game NOW? comeee onnn. my GT is sc00t420
you have to make a 3 player game with 2 private slots then invite your friends after you do that it doesn't crash at all
hate to say this, but you got lucky methinks, however I've usually played with 2 people and it set to a 3 or 4 player game..
I'll invite my friends who all have open NAT settings and we'll play lag free for 1-2 levels, then, randomly, always at the end of a level, it will just bring us back to the main menu and reset whatever we earned on that last level. It's annoying as fuck.
everything else about this game is dare I say near perfection, once they iron out the online details, so we can play how it was most likely meant to be played (with others!) It's going to be an awesome experience.
I've yet to get a chance to play with more than 2.. as fun as it is, I'm curious as hell what four players is like.
still, I recommend anyone to buy this immediately.
Yesterday i completed the forest entrance but today when i started i had to redo it, my character seemed fine.
Wonky saves are a good way to kill a brilliant game.
after playing a little Solo insane mode... its clear that isnt meant to be played solo Seems like it is tuned for 4 people, tried it with 2, and some of the bosses took 10 minutes to kill (ack!). Ended up figuring out an easier way to kill the catfish boss though, since it was taking aaaggeeesssss. I could play solo up to the troll boss at level 45ish, but it got really, really hard. Could beat it pretty easy w/ one other, but we had to be stocked on potions before doing the level.
We got to the Wedding Crash level, but ironically the level would crash us out to the map every time. sucks too, we could have beaten it.
I havent had any problems other than that oddity so far... my only gripe is that the people in your group's weapons and animals are not available to you. I can understand the animals, but not weapons... they should totally let everyone share
let it also be known: xp farming w/ giraffe on the Insane difficulty troll boss is over powered went from 48 to 60 in two hours or so. was getting 2-3 levels per kill.
still cant fucking beat the peasant arena!!!! its driving me insane. Almost got it... just need to go farm more money up to buy more potions I want to level that character! Ive maxed all my stats but agility, i think i may need to crank that up so they stop being cheap bastards w/ arrows.
If anyone wants to do some 4 player Insane, let me know!!! (Red Knight)
if i remember correctly the save game bug was around in alien hominid HD when it first came out as well. I've seen quite a few other bugs too. I have yet to be able to get ANY online game working. I've also seen a few monsters get bugged out which caused me to have to restart some levels. not really major, but annoying. nothing crazy beyond that though.
had a blast today zipping through the game in like 5 hours with my girlfriend and her little brother. was surprised that we only made it to lvl 20 before we beat it and i'm at lvl 41 single player and still can't beat the game.
I'm guessing these bugs will be addressed shortly once everyone at The Behemoth gets back from PAX.
it would rock if they ported it to steam, but i think keyboard/mouse control would suck on a game like this.....luckily xbox 360 controllers work on a PC.
i beat the peasant arena... but no super green guy w/ cool thorn effects
Really?!?! What did they give you instead? This and the snow area are pretty tough for me, but i think I can get them with a little grinding :P.
Man, I knew I should have bought a set of those figures on Wednesday! They are sold out now and going for like 2x the price on ebay.....arrrrgh
Oh, and congrats Man_O_Mule, that figure looks sweet. I never met dan, but I have met Tom Fulp once, he is really cool, I'm sure Dan will be the same. Plus his art is awesome!
How do you open the insane mode? I have completed the game, have all the items yet there is no path to insane cave.
Is it because im only level 23? Or because i did it with my brother on coop but we didnt do everything at the same time and then the game doesnt know what happened?
Cause after completing it we didnt get any new characters.
Ah, thanks for clearing that up! I finally got all the animal orbs! Took a while to hunt them down :P.
Also I found out to get the Green Forest Knight you need to beat the game with the Thief. Toomas, I'm not sure really. My wife and I just played it straight through and it unlocked it for us. It could be because you're brother did not beat the game. Or maybe it just doesn't allow single player insane mode. I can't beat the game yet by myself and I am around 50, so I don't think they would even want to let me try insane :P.
How did you and your brother play? Have you both played every level in the game? It might be if your brother skipped out on a few levels, or you did, that it didn't register as you both beating the full game, and therefore not unlock it...but that's just a guess.
Insane opens after you beat the game the path is straight down from the barbarian boss level. there is no visible path, but if there is a circle in front of the cave, it is unlocked.
and the last 4 bosses should be insanely easy if you have maxed magic. Just rapidfire splashdamage them.
The final boss you just need to jump and aircombo sometimes.

yea, this. I was max magic green knight level 27.. the final level aside from the first few dudes was extremely easy.
Went ahead and bought it. Four player multi is super fun though I get lost a lot on where I am.
Currently a level 13 Blue Knight, all magic... I feel so week compared to my friends who went all or mostly physical.. They can already conquer the first two areans where I cant get past the first.

SWEET!!!! the theif was the next guy i was going to beat the game with he's already 30 and dangerous! i was afraid the forest knight guy wasnt playable, since there never are "big chunky sandwich" versions of them in the game.
snemmy, i was doing that too w/ my orange guy. He was weaksauce started pumping up strength and started liking it more. With my Red dude, I powered str to max, then worked magic.... and the game got a lot more fun when my magic didn't suck. Think its a balance
I'm in the 85 range, but with a red knight myself.
I don't hear any agility love, that stat is cray when maxed out. You move SO fast and those arrows are deadly . Also I'm curious if everyone still loves the ram? When I'm not XP farming I gotta say, Hawkster is the best! Not only does he attack downed enemies, but he turns them into fruit! So awesome, I love him so :P.
I only took agility with my barbarian untill it was maxed, great arrow fun.
And managed to unlock insane too, had to solo the final boss.
A lot of fun so far, imo one of the best bang for buck games ever.
Found one bug that ended our 4 player session last night/this morning. When I had the kitty that helps you jump high, whenever we went into a shop, if I tried to buy something the system would freeze. Happened twice in the Lava Shop.
Can't wait for some character/weapon/pet expansions.
just read an interview with teh CC devs. Apparently they didn't run into any connectivity issues durring testing and microsoft approved there networking code. But they are already working on a patch but are nto sure how soon it will get released.
"For those of you who are experiencing online issues, saving issues, etc I want to assure you that we are all very hard at work at getting an update to the game out as fast as we can."

Did you unlock it in a solo game or online in MP?
That being said, unless this is patched I fear Castle Crashers is gonna get relegated to the growing list of xbla games that I never touch anymore, which sucks cause I was having an absolute blast with it.

Will buy... in a few weeks after it is patched. Man.. Someone dropped the ball on those bugs.. O.O

on a side note I actually won this contest: http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/08/27/fanswag-play-castle-crashers-with-the-behemoth/ Which is awesome. Dan Paladin is currently my hero and has inspired me to start learning flash and do some 2D animation. Will be really cool to talk to him while playing the game.
console hippies - i'd pay my left testicle for a copy to work on a pc platform
