[2022] Quest Speedrunning Launch (Tomorrow)! - Weekly Game Update, 11th October 2022

Hey, I'm sorry that you're not a fan this week. :( ...I completely understand that you see this content as too niche, which is absolutely fair! This content offers players the ability to replay iconic quests which is something we can't offer on the main game for technical reasons and we think it is relatively low-cost to create as well.

We'll be sharing news about upcoming content in a Winter Summit-style stream. I can't give a date on when you can expect that, but it's worth letting you know. You want to hear about future updates and content and I totally understand the frustration if you're seeing weekly game updates which you're not interested in. Hopefully the Summit will help to fix that!

That's correct. We'll be releasing two quests each month after launch, so the outfit will be obtainable with those! The items were polled this way from the blog, however if you do feel strongly about this I can certainly raise it to the team.

Edit: I can understand the frustration around not being able to obtain your favourite reward on launch day though especially if you're going after one specific cosmetic and I'll pass that back to the team. As players have pointed out though this does make the reward more prestigious in the sense that not everyone will have access to it immediately, so there's pros and cons

Yep this was a typo, we've fixed it now. Thank you! And also, shoutout for reading the merch section! Appreciate you!!

That's awesome to hear, there are genuinely so many lovely people I've met through Discord who are super hyped about this update. I totally understand that it's not going to be everyone's cuppa tea though and I hope we can help fix that!

Not that we're aware of. The Combat Ring in the Clan Hall used the same code as the POH, and since dying in the POH is a safe death we had to make sure that the Clan Hall behaved the same.

I can't give you a date yet but I will make sure the team knows you're looking for one!

Hey! I'd just like to clarify that two additional quests will be added to QSR each month following launch which will mean that the Tier 3 outfit will be possible to obtain if you're going after that specific one.

Yeah, I just included it in the patch notes as that was technically a hotfix last week so not everyone may have seen it. If it's confusing though I can take it out as technically nothing changed since last week!

It looks really pretty in-game!

I hear you. I can only assume it was done in this way to ensure the QSR maintains a level of replayability. If players solely grinded it on launch day to obtain one outfit then when they get it, it becomes dead. So, rewards may have been designed this way to maintain engagement and replayability of the content. I understand that you want the outfit now though, and feel annoyed by having to wait longer for it. I'll pass that on. But trust me it'll feel good when you actually do get it to know that you worked hard for it, saved up your points and got what you wanted. 8)

Poll 77 is in its final stages, we expect to have the poll blog soon (by the end of the month is the best ETA I have).

Thanks, chief! Fixed. Pls no cannons!

I just checked with a dev who is working on the enhanced client. The issue where text can get cut off with Helpers on mobile is being worked on by a dev at this very moment! I don't know when the fix will be added to the game, though, but he's come back from holiday today and I'll make him aware of the main issues you've kindly brought up to me.

Hey, I've seen a couple of reports of this. Can you try heading to the Google PlayStore/ App store and updating the client? It may not have automatically updated for you. Let me know if this doesn't fix it.

manifesting you and a blue hedgehog spirit ✨

Hey, I raised this to the team cause I thought it would be related to an engine update.

This is a known issue that we can't really fix. Fun fact it actually happens with every update. It should resolve itself. The reason? Apparently it's literally "spaghetti code". Like, a modern mystery in the game that nobody can be bothered to find out but probably could if we really tried/cared enough.

Fun fact 2 - Something weird also happens with the imps in Puro Puro after every game update. They're actually supposed to take away your implings from you and free them from your inventory. They do that after a game reboot after 5 minutes but then they just like give up. So imp repellant is like a dead item apparently.

Best ETA I have it before the end of the month on this

Hey, we're looking into this as this sounds like something that unintentionally got changed alongside our engine changes. Can you give me as many details as possible on the expected behaviour before the update, and what has changed specifically following the update? The team may struggle to reproduce the exact method/behaviour but we're keen to ensure this is investigated

Hey, it probably was unintentional if it's not in the patch notes! I am happy to bring this up to the team, it sounds like it could be related to the engine changes today. Can you give me details on where this happens and what the expected behaviour is, also what is happening now? I can pass it directly to QA and add it to the changelog table at the top of the post once we have confirmed it.

Hey Roy thanks for clarifying which phase this happens in. I've seen a couple of reports of this so I'm sending it over to our team for investigation. Any further details to assist us in this would be much appreciated! :) It seems like this may be an unintentional change as a result of the engine update we made.

Both do. The doors start closed on the world by default. but once they're open, they're open perm. :)
