Nothing exciting really, more niche mode updates and fixes (that supposedly take very little dev time and don't effect main game updates!), as well as holiday stuff...
Even if we're not getting main game updates, it would be really nice to be told what to expect in the coming months... right now there's nothing to even look forward to
Wilderness Boss Rework before the end of the year, and our Winter Summit (outlining a bunch of key beats for 2023) is very close on the horizon
When are the poll 77 changes being added please?
We're expecting to be able to deploy a handful of them next week and then any of the other changes rolling out thereafter. The team responsible are aiming to have all of the changes out by Christmas and then begin planning out Poll 78.
As far as Poll 78 is concerned, it's worth looking back at the 'Future of QoL Polls' top section on this blog.
Can we dump our current spouse and date their sibling instead?
This week on Dr. Phials...
Edit: Figured I should probably answer the actual question so I checked in with the team, the answer is 'technically yes', my understanding after checking with the team is that you can effectively turn romance on/off by talking to the person you're betrothed to by the end of Throne of Miscellania. Then to change partner, you can chat to King Vargas and suggest that the other sibling might make a better ruler. Alternatively, you can chat to King Vargas straight away and it'll turn 'off' romance with your current selection and instead swap you to another.
ape atoll for pures when
The team responsible are aiming to have all Poll 77 changes deliver ahead of Christmas, the Ape Atoll change is one of the chunkier ones but falls within this timeframe.
When will pures be able to do MM2 though?

Is the limit for the treat cauldron going to be increased? I think I hit the max at 8000 when afking some shooting stars and was surprised that was the limit.
Asked the team about this one and I think the intent was for people to be depositing fairly regularly if they're actively gathering. We can't increase the cap at this stage without it being a 'wasteful' or 'expensive' approach dev-wise, but it's something we'll keep in mind if we explore similar formats in future years!
Out of interest, how long did it take you to fill the cauldron while mining Shooting Stars?
Hey Goblin, I was told “before the EOY” a few weeks ago. Any chance you can give another hint?
Sure! Project is aiming for a release in December, hope this helps!
Hi Goblin, will the pures and ape atoll update be one of them? ty
Yes!
When will TOA combat achievements come out?
Looks like they're currently on the books for December!
How do I get a divorce? Talking to everyone in the castle here doesn't seem to accomplish anything. Do I need to have finished Royal Trouble?

How about when the Winter Summit is? I've been waiting anxiously for a month now :(
On the books for Winter 2017 2022
(Early-mid December, more on that this week!)
Can I change who I am married to if I already did the quest?
Yes! (Although technically a priest was never found to marry you, so you're not married as such)
Can I change who I am married to if I already did the quest?
You can indeed. Just talk to King Vargas to recommend a different ruler, and then go and talk to the offspring in question to discuss relationship and ask them to marry you.
Can I ask how its that chunky? It’s letting players bypass one xp drop
Changing dialogue trees, making sure there's no way to accidentally trigger it, checking for any failsafes that might otherwise be in place, making sure access to the Island works correctly after the fact, making sure MM2 functions properly off the back, QA for any/all of the steps above - while it might look simple there are a lot of checks to do and places for things to go wrong.
That being said, it's not 'chunky' in an objective sense, moreso that relative to the other Poll 77 changes it touches more parts of the code than something like removing a few trees etc.
Wait what? Is everyone who already did the quest divorced?
No, you were engaged but never had the ceremony. That remains the case.
