Saved games just disappear, really liked the game but to spend time levelling a character and then log on again to find it's gone is a real no no for the rpg genre

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, it'll be fixed in the next update.
I loved this game it was so amazing but....
//////////////////////////////
Bugs
//////////////////////////////
My local save file got destroyed after I loaded my file after a bug with my archer that it deleted my archer and level 34 warrior save file....
My server file does not save the game anymore it get error that it can not save the game i tried saving in different locations for 2 days many times and always got the same error message that the saving failed over and over...
So in the end I lost all my 3 characters...
I had almost full inventory when I got the evil armor set so since since it was full by the time I got the mask. The mask disappeared when I picked it up and I had to play without headgear and use a lower level one.
My partner gets bugged in last acid area and keeps falling over and over lol that happens if I backtrack. But it get fixed if I get out of the area.
Got stuck in the cage inside the cave had to use teleport to get out
Got stuck in the stairs while fighting orc inside watch tower had to teleport too.
Worse bug ever my bow stopped throwing arrows and when I press button to pull the bow it just wiggle the damn arrow and do nothing!!! I try to remove bow and arrows from inventory and put them them on again and nothing!
Then I did the worse stupid mistake i pressed on the load button and the game turned white! so i reload the page and my save files were gone!!!
///////////////////////////
Some improvements
//////////////////////////////
1) Make stat portions give you only 1 stat instead of 5 or 10 but make the stat improvement permanent instead of just 5 minutes... I find it useless using a potion that increase a stat by 5 for only 3 minutes...
2)Add hp and mp recovery to all 3 classes. Not just as a skill but something normal..
Skills use to much mp so using mp potions a lot is distracting. Or make an auto mp use potion system when you put mp potions in a slot and use them when mp running low.
Warrior HP recovery was amazing but archer recovery rate was not useful ( I did not play archer a lot since my save file was destroyed..) I maxed mp recovery but could not use atk skill because I lacked mp to use it lol I did not had enough mp so the skill became unavailable when I upgrade it.
3)Make multiple save slots for each characters instead of one this can save us from major bugs that destroy our game... Also I would hd liked to use it before choosing Dark or Light. Instead of making a character all over again I could just start in another slot before choosing dark or light.
4)The Server save system is useless!!! it stop working remove that crap or fix it please!
5)Reset stat system. I would had liked a way to reset stats please. I did not know what were good stats to invest at first. I only manage to figure it out when using my second character.
6) Add more skills to Sin.Sin is probably the weakest class in the game.. Compared to Warrior Sin damage is crap! I manage to reach 1400 damage with Warrior but with sin the maximum I could archive with crit was under 500 per hit.. Sins have many useless skills like Dash and Pickpocket.
There is no point to use that skill at all is a waste of points. Dash I died while dashing so I am not inmune to damage while dashing. Only skill worth it was the back damage inscrease skill and the running skill. I would have been better if there was skill that increased attack rate to sins.
7) I hate gambling so I hated the premium roulette there are better ways to make money... Like selling extra content for money or sell weapon in a premium shop instead. I never got a key no offer I could do. I wish there was atleast 1 free key that way I can see if those keys are worth it or not.
8)Warrior is so OP compared to sins. Sins are so weak compared with Warrior.
i did not manage to play archer because of the bug :( to be able to compare it. Make it so that Back stab hit 3x harder and lower the cooldown of shadow walk to 10 seconds. So that I can use it over and over again.
9)The block system is useless it only benefit the enemies... Making them harder to kill.
It was hard and tedious to kill with sin... with warrior was easier because he hit harder I think because of stats I used. Enemies also have to much hp reduce it to half especially those wolf in the end...
Walk-though:
Sin
Just level up the first skill and back damage skill. Then the speed buff to max.
Do not bother with the other skills they are useless..
Warrior
All skills are great but the passive skill to recover 10% hp is too good. You will never need to use health potion again once you max it and the leeching skill. I was recovering half Hp with the leeching Hp skill. Warrior is semi immortal is played properly.
Stat placement for all classes the same.
Accuracy:::
My advice is level accuracy stat to 20 that way you will never miss again. Nothing sucks more than missing. It a mistake that can kill you.
:::Main Stat depends on class..(sin is luck, warrior is Strength and archer dex.):::::
Level main damage and pierce stat to 50 to 100.
:::: Crit damage/Crit % stat level it as much as posible not because of Crit % that is useless since you can reach 100% + with just end gear.
But Level it as high as you can because of Crit Damage.
Crit damage > main stat Damage.
Main stat damage +5 = 1 extra damage
Crit damage +1 = 1 extra damage.
I think this may be why my warrior was hitting way harder than sin...
I was planning to test it more and level main stat to only 50 and rest on crit stat on archer but my game file got corrupted :( because the archer class is broken and bugged.
I really loved this game one of the best in newgrounds a highly quality game you do not see often but the bugs and my save data getting corrupted made me remove 1 star... I would had removed 3 stars but since this game is so wonderful that it covers some of its serious bugs.
PROS
Game world is beautiful
You put effort in creating design for each armor and weapon!!! some game developers are lazy and just put same design and just change the name...
I look forward to play another continuation of this game.
This game is fun and I really do enjoy it, but my assasin had a quest to go to and when I traveled to another location it took me to the tutorial and now I'm stuck. I f the creator knows how to help please tell me.
I'm sorry for the no stars score, but I can't rate a game I can't even play. I think your game might be broken because I've seen a few more people with this problem as well. In my case, I completed the 20 questions that are used to suggest the preferred class for me--I got an Archer just in case anyone cares to know--then...nothing. I've been sitting on this page for the last 5 minutes...I even closed out this page and reloaded it and still nothing. You REALLY need to look into this issue.
I really wanna play but it freezes after I create a character.loading bar is full,music plays,but nothing.
