New Game + Clash/Bug/...?

[holimk]

I'm facing a problem with the playing of new game+ ...

I've started the new game+ with no problem at all,
I could finish the whole route and killed the god king,
then there comes the problem......

Normally after killing the god king and then the game start from the beginning again,
and then you can continue your progress on collecting money & items, and on mastering weapons and so on.

However I restart with having 0 money (regardless of how much I saved before killing the God King),
with HP level stayed at the level I had when god king was killed,
and the mastered item were all reset with the mastering counted,
i.e. I achieved the 2nd master before killing the GK,
and then when it start from the beginning again,
instead of keeping my item 2nd mastered,
it is not mastered and asking me to achieve the 3rd master...

So I am now stucked here and cannot proceed my game play,
as even I omit the problem and let myself to achieve the 3rd master of the items and proceed,
after killing the GK then the game will have the faulty reset again and ask me to achieve those items for the 4th time...

The more embarassing thing is that the HP stays at which I had when the god king was killed,
so I have to be EXTREMELY careful not to let the GK take away too much of my HP so that I can have a good restart;
I've once allowed the GK to take too much of my HP away so I restarted the game with just 200HP,
so you can imagine how difficult the game would be to me...-____-"

Please let me know if there is anyone who can help me out with this issue, so information here:

Platform: Iphone4S, IOS5.1
Game Version: V.1.2

Also if possible may I know how I can save the backup of the game, so that I can try to reinstall the game to see if the problem can be solved in this way.

Thanks you.

=)) buddy you don't get the point of NG+ do you?

The whole "faulty reset" you mention is actually meant to be there, it's there in IB1 too. The reason is to allow players to build their characters as far as they can (that's why we have the lv 2000 club in here!). You can continue to build your stat, well, to an infinity )

Well, you hp staying at exactly where GK beated you seems to be a bug. Sorry, I have never encounter such problem. Perhaps more experienced members here may know the solution.

I don't think I got the concept wrong, cuz I played since IB1 and I did not face the whole issue.

certainly you are correct that whenever I start by playing the new game +, then everything should reset, I do understand that;
but the problem here I faced is that, after killing the god king, I did not press any new game + so the game should proceed by starting from the beginning,
without resetting any of my achievements...that is why I called this a faulty reset.

may be this example could make it easier to explain:
New game+: now game 2, before killing GK, I got the following -> $10k, 2nd mastered 10 items.

Normal condition: I killed the GK, the game starts again from the beginning, but I still have the 10k, still have the 10 items 2nd mastered,
so that I can continue to master other items and save more money, until I am tired of it and start another new game+

My Situation: I killed the GK, the game starts again from the beginning, I did not start another new game +,
but I have 0 money, the 10 2nd mastered items is waiting for the 3rd master,
so that at most I can 3rd master those 10 items again before I kill the god King due to the limitation of $,
and then I killed the GK, the game starts again from the beginning, I did not start another new game +,
but I have 0 money, the 10 3rd mastered items is waiting for the 4th master,
so that at most I can 4th master those 10 items again before I kill the god King due to the limitation of $,
and then I killed the GK, the game starts again from the beginning, I did not start another new game +,
but I have 0 money, the 10 4th mastered items is waiting for the 5th master,
so that at most I can 5th master those 10 items again before I kill the god King due to the limitation of $...

Certainly there is a way out, which is...Never kill the GK!
But then the stupid thing will be that in the end the Titans will have a much higher level than the GK...-______-""""

This "faulty reset" is natural. Everybody goes through it. You AUTOMATICALLY start a new NG everytime you kill the GK. THIS IS NOT A GLITCH.
No offense dude, but it's kinda annoying having people keep on asking about things that happen in the game without looking at the NG guide.

NG+ is unfortunately (or fortunately depending on ones outlook), different in IB2 compared to IB1, in IB1 you could explicitly choose to stay in the same NG+ for an extended period of time you would not go into the next NG+ until you killed the Zero Mech and it's pilot and then it would ask you if you wished to start a NG or just go to the next rebirth.

In IB2 it is different. The act of killing the GK automatically triggers going to the Next NG with no prompt or question of the user.

If you wish to stay in a NG+ for an extended period do not go after the GK. People address this usually in one of two ways. a) Keeping on Blood sentinel alive and ending each rebirth by fighting the pseudo-titan at the top of the tower (taking the long route through the Stone demon area gives a lot of chest opportunities) or b) just dying to Thane v2 and heading to the next birth that way.

These idiosynchronsies are explained in more detail in the NG+ guide.

many do in fact believe this is a bug, since there's no "do you want to go to the next NG+?" prompt like in IB1. But aside from that, this is the expected behavior.

I'm hoping in the next update there's either: A way to go through rebirths without killing a Blood Sentinel, Thane (or someone in Thane's spot), or the GK, so you can progress through the Vault of Tears without having to advance the plot (so perhaps this person that's supposed to be in the next update will play a similar role to IB1's God King, where in this game the God King is more like the Zero Mech pilot, gameplay-wise). Or, that the game is changed so killing Raidriar does not trigger the next NG+ and in fact the person that's supposed to be in the update becomes the new trigger for moving onto NG+ from OG or subsequent NG+'s (similar to the Zero Mech/pilot from IB1). Either would be cool, or even just a lame prompt box that asks if I want to move to the next one I guess.

Either way, this behavior is what is keeping me from playing NG+
