Double Combiner Issues

[Kiss-Shot]

After playing multiple runs with low or very infrequent combiner drops I am quite frustrated with the combiner system as it stands. Because so much of the enjoyment of the game comes from combining elements for spells I find it puzzling that you are not given the option to exchange runes for combiners.

Playing through multiple floors with only basic elemental spells is extremely unrewarding to the point that I loath the first set of floors. Instead of waiting for things to get interesting when you start to get lucky enough for a combiner drop or you kill a boss I believe could this problem could be easily fixed.

Players should be given an option to trade runes collected for combiners.

Not really an issue, once you have learn a combo you no longer need a combiner, it only takes a few hours till you have all the double combo spells added to your pokedex, then it becomes a cakewalk, combiner-wise.

The lack of the combiners is seriously the only thing that gives this game any sense of progression or longevity, cherish it.

Once you have discovered a spell, it no longer takes a combiner to make that spell anymore.

I don't need a series of designed "achievements " (kill 30 bats) to enjoy a game. I enjoy the core gameplay itself thats why I purchased Runers. For me a checklists of things to do don't lengthen my enjoyment at all, in fact I find those sort of features vapid and meaningless.

Is this mentioned anywhere in-game? I just want to know exactly how thick I am for not knowing this :P

I just found this out by looking at the thread.

How can we know, in game, if we've discovered a spell before or not? Will the information pop up when we add them to the slots?

[Dopey]

Yeah I found out you didnt need to use combiners through experimenting and realizing I could craft a spell without a combiner and realized it. Runedex really helps on figuring out what I havnt discovered and figuring out what i want to unlock like globals or ultimates without having to create it first.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i didnt know that at all

I'm pretty sure it's in one of the tutorials, but it's only mentioned once, and they don't demonstrate it.

If it has ???? then you still need to use a combiner. If not, then you dont.

I didn't know that either.

neat game btw.

Given the decent-sized amount of people that have commented on not knowing this, it might not be a bad idea to make this fact more obvious in-game. Perhaps with giant flashing lights :P

[Erosion]

Lol yeah, we are going to try to add it in a couple more places. Like I said, it is in the tutorial, but that obviously isn't enough.
