Release 37 Instructions

We are not currently planning on making Water themed bundles.

 

Were R36 bug hunting rewards delivered? I saw mention of the ant cloaks in the patch notes, so I was curious about delivery.

 

@DarkStarr

Jabbering Bertha (Live)? It's not in my bank.

Bonus Question: When do we get to see the Q1 Schedule? And will it have cool stuff on it?

 

Hmm, minor observation about Superstition Canyon. Who is the wise guy that made most of the copper ore nodes disappear? I did not mind the extra wolves and bears , did not mind the mages 60 feet up with a bazooka on their shoulders but come on folks, give us some of the copper nodes back to make the juice worth the squeeze. Just a minor observation from a swordsman. R/Boris

 

should be awarded by Monday's patch

 

You should have received your Bertha. It shows on your account as purchased and you claimed rewards?

Q1 schedule will go live next week.

 

It shows on my account, but doesn't show claimed. I claimed rewards a few hours ago. Maybe it was added in the last patch?

 

No it should have gone out with first build. I'm opening a bug now.

 

Gold Crowns page has been updated with all the latest information (note the SOTA map links are not updated)

 

It's probably hiding out somewhere with my moondial.

 

This "spoiler" is ruining the game in my opinion. There isn't a point to do anything else except go to control points and loot chests. The game has become so boring now. I feel like if I don't do it, then everybody else will become far ahead of me. I feel like this will have bad effects on the economy. The enemies don't aggro you unless you are in the exp group. I've now spent many hours walking in circles and doing nothing but looting chests. Thanks. The upside is buying almost every recipe is easy with this "spoiler". Just go to Vertas Pass control points and prepare to bore yourself to death.

 

Mine did not show up either.

 

They could also add bigger mines with 20X as many nodes. But yeah, mining doesn't need to be slowed down.

 

We're taking a look now.

 

Can you try again?

 

Working now.

 

Got it, thank you!

 

There are a few different things like that, where a gameplay dynamic is allowing certain players to "get ahead" of others that seems to be creating that sort of feeling you describe of trying to "keep up with the Joneses" and while it can be frustrating, I think it is ultimately unavoidable. For players with the time and the inclination, there is always going to be some mechanism by which they can essentially earn limitless gold/loot, resources, and/or experience via some mindless, grindy, boring thing. However, unless there is some other "secret" I don't know, the devs made it such that players can't be simultaneously gaining in all three categories.

Players in Vertas Pass must choose... are they going to be standing "on the flag" in the control point earning xp, are they going to be looting chests for gold and items, or are they going to be in the outer areas gathering resources. They can't be doing all three simultaneously. This creates a sort of balance.

Some players do seem to feel compelled to spend all of their time maximizing gains. The way I see it, I'll never catch up with them anyway. But in the meantime, I don't necessarily see anything wrong with hanging out in a loot party at a control point. True- it can quickly get repetitive and boring but I wouldn't go so far as to say it ruins the game for me. After a while it will lose my attention and I will finally decide to decorate my second house. After that, I'll probably get excited about Fishing again for a while. It all balances out.

 

Never mind... The post I responded to disappeared or I somehow posted on the wrong thread. Either way message was in the wrong place.

 

@DarkStarr

The Jabbering Bertha looks very cool. I know it's supposed to eventually talk too. But I always assumed it would be a house decoration (partly based on the description). I thought I could like put it in my house and have it hang there talking to people. Any chance of that happening? As it stands now I carry a staff which requires two hands, so using this as an off hand "weapon" doesn't do me a lot of good. It would be cool also if it could be used as a focus item that I could make rival a crafted staff (by using the same materials, etc... for balance purposes).
