I was in the imp village, and decided to go to the Act 2 Battlefield (I had found the key). I clicked on the Battlefield option in the sub-menu, and the loading screen appeared. It took an inordinate amount of time to load. When it finally finished, I had been transported to the Necromancer. He summoned me and ordered me to find crystals for him. I started to do this, but then decided to try for the Battlefield again. This time, it transported me back to the imp village. I then clicked the Battlefield icon, was transported to the Act 2 Battlefield, and completed the first dungeon. When I returned, it was to the imp village where I started this whole process.

My question is...How do I get back to the Necromancer's realm to find the crystals he wants? Is this a bug? I'm not sure I have a savegame from before this whole process began, but I might. If not, am I S.O.L?

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Michael

No possibility to return to the Cursed Abbey, sorry. I know this problem from German gamers already - though I don't know if this a bug or intention. AFAIK, they could simply continue - you have to meet this gentleman several times.

I am beginning to want to put this game aside until all the bugs can be fixed. It's been the most problems I've ever personally experienced with bugs.

I cannot beleive this game Is this buggy, cause I did the same exact thing and now I'm going to lose even more XP because the game Is totally incomplete.. This is not acceptable IMO. Sorry about the Rant but I've run Into bug after bug and It's starting to take the fun right out of the game for me.

You should be able to do both. I just don't understand the programing behind this game ATM? Sorry kiya not trying to affend you.

Jolly, I never came upon the idea to leave the Necro areas - I fought and left via crystal. I didn't even use these BF that much. Though I did Act 2 in this case => as soon as I had all keys, so I wouldn't trudge in several times.

My XP => one dungeon was empty, but the boss monster was there in the 3rd lvl. And I had 3 boss monsters at the same time in my 1st dungeon in the end level.

Act 3 => in earlier versions (not your sell version) 2 dungeons totally empty in the 3rd lvl, but a lot to amuse myself in the higher ones. 2 boss monsters in my 1st dungeon.

I think this generating procedure makes it difficult - but I'm a quest not a monster-slash gamer, so it didn't bother me. I don't feel offended <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

In case you wonder => I played the game from German version 1.00 on. There have been a lot of fixes and changes already. I'm sure, the Larians will do more about this.

Turns out I had a save from the Abbey (Necromancer) level. I completed that, and am now back in the imp village. I'm going to stay away from the Battlefields as long as possible to give them time for another patch, but if it's gonna be a while, I'd just as soon put the game aside until it can be fixed.

I can't believe the game made it out of testing with the Battlefield bugs. It just doesn't seem like something you'd miss, and since it seems to be happening to everyone, looks like a hard bug, and not a fluke.
