Hotfix 1.20.4 - Hotfix #2

i mean as long as it still fulfills its role of completing your slay mobs guild objective with 1 totem in 2 minutes i’m fine lmao

 

rip i need to play the game now

 

For those who didn't bother to count that was 68 bugs fixed... Assuming I counted right.

 

lets gooooooooooooooooooo

 

Awesome bug fixes guys! Looks wonderful!

 

NNOOOOOO MT WYNN MY BELOVED

 

I mean, yea but the nerf doesn't effect the other reason people use that spot, as I see people doing that as mostly harmless.

 

The reward is 32eb or 2048 Emeralds as indicated by the message you receive at the end of the quest. It used to be 2LE but that was about 3 years ago.

We fixed some things in DnD actually, the mob wave had issues, the drill too (but we have to check it again), we added a couple failsafes (including one at the drill part so you can go back to the meeting), probably a few more things but i forgot about it because it was 2 months ago and i forgot to write it down ^^
But we will definitely take a closer look at it, we know what quests have the most issues but they are also the most complicated to work on in general

It was probably a couple months of work, we wanted to have a lot of items in the changelog instead of making a small changelog every week (since we updated the game a lot of times in this timeframe), also it gave us time to make sure no new reports appeared for those issues, just like it happened for dark descent and lazarus pit, and we were able to work on the full quests instead of specific issues in some cases (for example kingdom of sand, jungle fever, etc). There are still some issues we want to look at, but the stability and playability of those quests should have been greatly improved.

Make a report with video evidence, make sure your particles are there, we can see both on our side but we can take another look at it

I should have counted them..

EDIT: Actually, scratch that, i added another that will be there in the next map update, after watching @Olinus10 video of Desperate Metal, i added a failsafe so what happens at stage 6 shouldn't happen again and you should get the rewards properly from now on ^^

 

i wasnt trying to criticize the amount of work and bugfixing for these hotfix notes, i know there was a lot of effort here but i was trying to say that the community would greatly appreciate a more "live" running log of bug fixes and changes to the map. whenever a broken quest or feature gets fixed, players have to rely on either word of mouth in discord servers or until something like this gets posted, and it would be much better if there was one singular area for such changes to be documented the moment they're pushed to the main map. maybe you could make a channel in the official discord server to post the map pushes, or a new thread here on the forums for you to reply to for map pushes. just something would be great, instead of leaving us in the dark until a thread like this gets made

 

I don't think we are at a point where we can do this yet, we still need to iron things out more to be able to do any public live tracker, there's lots of testing involved and player feedback in general to have in mind, also fixing underlying issues for existing content could take more time than you might think.
Once we get to a more "clean slate" status we should definitely look into it, that sounds like a good idea!
Discord has a lot more people, easier interaction and easier to post it there in general, as soon as a bug is fixed on our side we could just post it there.
Ideally we would give a timeframe when it would be released but that's not possible at the moment, with less bugs in general (not having to go back to old quests all the time to fix small things) and more organisation on our part that should be doable in the future i hope.

 

tu fais vraiment un super boulot

 

The thing is a lot of things we push aren't even interesting like adding barriers to a quest that was missing, fixing an exploit, changing some dialogue, fixing some mob loot / xp value, etc (unless major)

I do get what you mean though

 

Cope harder

 

pretty interesting ngl

 

especially when known issues of this nature aren't fixed in the latest hotfix
lack of transparency makes it hard to figure out whether CT hasn't gotten around to stuff yet or straight up failed to fix it properly

 

ok better answer, we probably shouldn't publicly document exploit patches as people will know what to workaround

 

of course, maybe not every single minute detail or change to the map, or specifically listing what exploits have been fixed, but stuff like cinfras' pathing changes, bug fixes to quests like the dark descent. again, knowledge of these fixes to incompletable quests or somewhat significant build changes only ever really goes by word of mouth until a post like this is made

 

Agreed with nip nop, bug fixes being completely unknown other than what little outreach discord chatter can make is so bad. Without it or posts like these you'd have to just try the quest again later with no indicator of whether it was fixed or not.

 

Most of the time, people who make bug reports receive a message that it has been fixed. The CH will also be aware of it. I still think a discord channel might be a good idea tho, but not yet, we still have a mountain to climb from my perspective ^^
We also do need player feedback about it, so maybe that could actually help with that.
Some things to think about at least and keep in mind.

 

the original reporter receives this message, i assume? it's not the best situation when the first person to find the bug goes inactive eventually and the bug is finally fixed a year+ later.
