Release 56 Post Draft: Feedback Please

Here is a VERY early VERY rough draft of the Release 56 Instructions Post. Lots of stuff is still in progress, including the text itself, features, content, etc. Some things listed here are not yet in the build and might NOT make the release!

As always this thread is for editing the post itself, clarifying the contents, etc. It is NOT about debating game features, decisions, etc. Please start other threads for that.

Also as usual the links to instructions and known issues are pointing to R55 so I don't need to be told that.

I also don't need to be reminded about blank areas or places that say <insert more here> or are blank. I got those.

Also please DO NOT give feedback on the ORIGINAL text that I cut and paste from the Quarterly Schedule Post. As a rule we never edit the original text. We only put new text afterwards in italics. That way we make sure everyone knows we aren't hiding anything, especially if something is delayed.

 

... will be shipped ... ?

 

Thanks Starr

 

So Wyverns are not coming?

 

Seems not at the moment, latest at next Release in August.

 

I’m confused about the new unicorn weapons - it seems like it should be the opposite?

I.e. killing a light unicorn is not virtuous whereas killing a dark unicorn is virtuous - yet the weapons seem to be the opposite? Shouldn’t the dark weapons be virtuous and the light ones be evil - considering how the materials were obtained ?

 

It's a conundrum.

 

@DarkStarr There are two more recipes in the game that use a bottle of wine:

Brace of Lupine
Darkstarr Smoked Duck

 

and ardoris coleslaw

 

Will the anchient obsidian bears be fixed since the wyverns arnt gonna make it in, atleast we would have something cool to play with?

 

No Obsidian boar Butchery and Cooking recipes? My bank is filling up with boar corpses and they're starting to smell!

On a serious note, why not just clone the code for Obsid meat recipes and tweak the bonus stats a little, I would imagine an Obsid boar food dish to have stats somewhere between a bear and a Stag.

 

the butchery recipe is already in live.

 

Ah OK, my bad, thanks Alley, is it a drop item?

 

no, plain old npc recipe

 

And still no Arrow poisoning.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to postpone long-awaited content for the Obsidian Trials which is primarily intended as a "dev-playground".

 

A release that had many excited is now leaving many sad and disappointed.

 

Just thinking out loud - maybe now that there are scenes with " + " in the difficulty - the skulls at the entrances should indicate it also somehow?

 

@Sannio Added a little ribbon at the top if they're 5+, once you start to get to 7+ 8+ 9+ the skulls are different skulls (horned skulls). Subtle but I like what he did.
