I really liked inotia 2, great challenge, great world, great loot hunting, really exciting battles etc etc.
And inotia 3 seems to ba a very good sequel, however I think I speak for a lot of the fans when I say this
1: multiplayer: where is it? Where is matchup? Where is the highscore rankings? Where is the dark pit of despair or something similar? Inotia 2 had this and it was great features, don't remove something really great without at least adding a substitue!
2: the sound, music fading in and out, and especially the battle sounds not playing for any other character then the one you have selected, it really removes a big part of the hectic feeling in battles, it feels very grindy and less exciting.
3: the challenge, the game is a lot easier this time, and on the brink of being to easy, it wouldn't Hurt buffing up the bosses and a few of the mobs.
4: the graphics?
It's less detailed then inotia 2? Why?
Don't get me wrong I personally love the style and concept, but it shouldnt be less detailed then the prequel.
Will there be a retina display update?
Is it a bug?
It really felt like inotia 3 was a bit rushed, since it missed some major things that inotia 2 already had and the bugs didn't really make it better.
Can we get a good and long dev/admin answer on these questions?
And also, you wrote in the AppStore description that an update was on the way, what will it contain?
And most importantly, will it contain only bugfixes or actual content?
I would not mind paying 0.99$ on a regular basis for some nice and challenging content updates with new dungeons and bosses that require a well equiped party, a great way to make the game last "forever"
Thx in advanced.

The graphics are really not as bad as people make it, in fact it looks better than most other similar RPGs, just not as sharp as Inotia 2. But you have to remember that Com2us put in much more effort this time in drawing the extra characters compared to the previous game. Also the enemies and bosses look much more interesting than the previous game, and they even have attack and spell animations (unlike the previous game).
Inotia 2 had 6 generic classes, Inotia 3 has 7 story characters + 1 Dark Elf + 1 Laciel = 9 story characters and 6 more generics, that makes up for a total of 15 character spritesheets (more than doubled than Inotia 2!). Most of them have complete new sprites with new armor, weapon and even the hat. The spell effects have also been improved and look a lot more flashy than the previous game, and in my opinion, much better than Gamevil's offerings.
The user interface, mini map, game text, character portraits are all in retina HD and look stunning, unlike typical mobile ports. It was definitely not a rushed effort.
Com2us said they will consider modifying the graphics in the future, so they might add a filter to sharpen the pixels, or rescale the sprites so we aren't as zoomed in.

Some of your questions have already been answered.
Network: yes there will be an update for this.
Graphics: Com2uS made a statement that they will improve the graphics on the nexr update. They just didn't say when it will be.
Other concerns: The game is like in Beta state. Give it a chance. Hopefully, it improves a lot soon.

Oh, dont get me wrong, i bought it The second it was released and have enjoyed it since, However there are things that I want an answer to.
I am most satisfied with the graphics, I like the style and the portraits are just perfect. However I have seen a lot of people complain about them and this topic was a summary of the most pressing issues atm.

You will really complain if you are playing on HD devices. Check Wild Frontier. If com2us made Inotia as Good as that, then none will ever complain. Bugs and glitches can be fixed, graphics is a different story. They might have to re do everything or zoom out the current one.

Im playing on My iphone 4, an hd device. And like I said in the above post, I got no problem with the graphics, I like it, asking as weapon, armor, shield and helmet makes a difference on you avatar I'm happy :).
Edit: or did you mean te iPad? I tried it on that too, got to the character selection screen, and sure it didn't look crisp but I could live with it if they just add content regulary, that's the most important thing, keeping it alive.
What I really don't like is the sound bugs and the game being to easy, and since it's more linear than inotia 2 there is never a risk of running into some purple colored monsters, and thus no chance of attempting some challenging but potentially rewarding fights.

Inotia 3 is a good game no doubt. What I'm saying is, it could still get better. I mean A LOT BETTER. Try "Wild Frontier" and see how good graphics presentation is. And the character movements is really good.

I got t from Korea lol. It's coming out in US Appstore soon.
Its so like Inotia but better in terms of graphics. Its not a party system so you only have one character. 3 classes only. All warriors. It is pixelated but super sharp and colors are perfect. Inotia 2 is good but a bit blurry. Inotia 3 feels like the pixel got zoomed and super minimum sharpness which makes the color looks washed out. Oh well, in terms of graphics, Wild Frontier is way better than Inotia 2. Character movements and skill animation is really cool.

Multiplayer is going to be in it. This is what the suspcious rat said in beta after completing all its quests.

Hello,
I have played with the three Inotia:
Chronicles of Inotia, Inotia 2 and 3.
I think that the second is clearly better than the first. I spent a lot of hours playing with it, and greatly love it. I like the third too, and understand that its development is not completed. Like other players, I think that some points can be upgraded.
- graphics seems to be less precise than in Inotia 2
- we lose the ability to choose the character's name ?
- the game seems to be slightly easier to play. (will this lead to a shorter lifetime ?)
- It is my personal feeling, of course, but I'm more confortable with the Inotia 2 way of driving the characters. For example, I have not to explicit the path the characters should follow with it, as in Inotia 3. May you allow the Inotia 2 way of driving characters as an alternative to the current solution ?
- I'm looking forward to an equivalent of the Inotia 2 match-up mode.
Thanks for your great games :)
Best regards

For your statement in number two, They don't cancel the sounds all together. They have its so your charater is the only one that you can really hear landing bows and casting spells. It would'nt be good if you heard all your charater loud and clear. It would be very fusterating because you have to distigish between who you are playing and if you accidently casted a spell or somthing. If one of your charaters is across the level and you hear them loud and clear, that would not be good in many ways...
