After doing some serious game time with Star Legends, I managed to gather this info about its Beta phase. I found out that the level cap is set at level 25 at the moment, its pretty easy to get your level up to 20 but after that it will be tiresome to even reach level 21, it will even take you weeks if your not a hardcore gamer. The purpose of this is probably to give them time to add more features and to slowly incorporate them without, the risks of having many players quit after reaching the level cap. Using the games currency "Platinum" is the only fastest way to level up as you purchase elixirs that boost experience gain. The game has become somewhat boring for me due to constant repetitive actions in trying to level up, still the game is in its early stages of development and has big potential.
Also in my case, the ability to gain free "Platinum" does not seem to work for me, the page doesn't load up.
Here are some of the developers notes about FAQ and the latest game update:
- Updated the Shipment Droid boss for the Cycorp Campaign, to have unique sounds during combat.
- Fixed problems that prevented the Engineer’s “Revive” ability from actually reviving incapacitated team-mates.
- Fixed door that was not opening in Delta-7 level 2.
- Made premium armor sets stashable.
- Following is now spelled correctly in the quest conversations where a reward is selected.
- Play Pocket Legends button found in the Spacetime Nexus should now load up the Pocket Legends page in the Android Market correctly.
- Sound effects for ‘Laugh’ and ‘Cry’ emotes have been added for male / female characters.
- Also added first pass sound effect for the ‘Celebrate’ horn-blast (though visuals are not in just yet).
- Head squips in Miner McGurk’s room no longer will grant xp.

Technical FAQ
The Star Legends site won’t load on my browser, what should I do?
Please point a non-mobile web browser to www.starlegends.com
I’m experiencing lag when playing Star Legends, what can I do?
A high ping is indicative of an unstable internet connection. First, try just playing on a 3G connection. If you don't have a problem, and you do with Wifi, try another internet connection (friends house, coffee shop, etc.) to isolate the problem.
We compared devices, ran a few tests, and determined that any one of the following could interrupt your network connection to Star Legends thereby affecting game play:
• Email push enabled
• Push notifications enabled
• Other applications that require network access (eg. internet music streaming)
• Other applications running simultaneously
• Poor network connection
• Incorrectly configured router if playing over Wi-Fi
With 1-4 disabled, there were no lag spikes when playing on the devices that had them previously, 3G or Wi-Fi.
Why am I not get experience for killing monsters?
You will need to play in a campaign appropriate for your level to obtain experience.

I'm having trouble installing or updating Star Legends on my Android device. What’s wrong?
First, try restarting your device. A clean restart can sometimes be all you need.
Second, make sure you have enough free space on your device to download and update the app.
If the above doesn't work or isn't an issue, then there may be a problem with your Market app or installation on your your SD Card. Try the following:
* Uninstall Star Legends
* Unmount your SD Card
* Clear your Marketplace cache and data in your applications manager
* Install Star Legends
* Remount the SD Card
* Then move Star Legends back to the SD Card (if you want)
Some devices fail to install large apps directly to SD Card.
Alternatively
Find the .android_secure directory on the sdcard and remove the ‘smdl2tmp1.asec’ file. You can either do this by mounting the sdcard on a computer, or with a file manager app
Star Legends crashes on my Android Device
First, restart your device. If that doesn't help, try clearing your Star Legends data in your Applications Manager. If that doesn’t help you should reinstall.
• Uninstall Star Legends
• Clearing your Marketplace cache and data in your Applications Manager
• Download and install the Star Legends app.
When I try to login I get a message telling me my password is wrong, but I checked and it’s right. What should I do?
We have found, in most cases, this is due to Android users not hitting enter/done after entering their information. Instead they use the close keyboard button by mistake.
How do I add another player to my friends?
When you add a friend they have to accept the request from the Requests tab of the Friend Menu. This request can take a few moments to show up in some cases.
