2.5 hours for this.. never previously needed this much time for maintainance until recently
The maintenance we're carrying out isn't directly related to the content of the update, but we are sorry for any inconvenience or disruption today's maintenance causes you.
Can personal best times be filtered when you leave the clan chat? currently all other broadcast are hidden if you leave the clan chat, but personal best times still show.
Have had a couple of players suggest this and was planning to bring it up in our next player suggestions meeting with the devs, would be nice to remove some of the 'performance anxiety' for people trying new content in competitive groups.
What restricted accounts are the poison dynamite things for? 10hps? Skillers?
Anybody looking to minimise combat xp for any particular reason. Overwhelmingly - though not necessarily limited to - the 10hp community (which would incl. skillers) in this case, though!
Read the post.. It says you cannot see others' max hitsplats unless it is against you
In OlmTheSnek's defence that was an edit I made after a few people had asked about it, but at least it's up-to-date now!
Hit splat is nice, but the clan hall update? The blog reads like a whole update, but you can pet a cat and give it milk? That could have been a 2 sentence update.
The clan hall needs its coffer upgraded to at least 10m with restrictions on who can withdraw from it. Last seen online, XP gained this week/month, bosses killed this week/month, levels gained this week/month, clan events board needs an overhaul with people voting to attend etc. Quite the disappointment to be honest.
Ultimately when writing newsposts we can't magically get more content out that week. With a project the scale of Raids 3 being so close at-hand, it's natural that we might have the odd slow news week here or there.
For these kinds of weeks I think we generally try to have a little fun with the posts and at least make them an enjoyable read. Perhaps it's not an approach that everybody's a fan of and I'm sure we could strip them down if more people wanted - but it does make them more enjoyable to write too!
Main focus of this week is tying up or updating people on bits from Poll 76, apologies for any disappointment!
Appreciate the reply, I don’t think anyone expects massive updates weeks before a huge release. The clan hall update part just felt like trying to flesh out something quite simple to fill space on the page is all.
I think of it more as a tongue-in-cheek approach to at least have a little fun with it. It'd be a little bleak for the post to just read 'hitsplats gold but not always (check settings), feed cat, black keys'.
Makes it more enjoyable to write about and perhaps make somebody smile during the downtime - might I recommend the banger of a joke about 'piano tuners'?
Aha yeah I get that, makes sense now that you have said for sure. Right now we are getting into it, I love a good joke but love bad ones even more. Hit me with the Piano Tuner joke!
the piano tuner joke was in the newspost :(
I was actually shocked when I read cat has personality and not a forced pun Purr-sonality.
Missed opportunity! Oh what could have been...
Has the unfreeze glitch in pvp been fixed yet?
We've done some engine work in the background to alleviate this issue - if the issue is still present can you let us know with any supporting evidence and we'll get that sent over to the relevant people
Is there any update on the mobile client vibration bug? When can we expect a fix on this.
The team are aware of a lot of the prevalent issues with mobile at the moment and are actively working on fixes. Expect a status update next week on where we're at in terms of what we've fixed and what we're still working on!
PSA: the sections initially included in this post regarding the Clan Hall cat & piano have been removed, these pieces of content are scheduled for release next week alongside other Clan Hall changes.
Apologies for the inconvenience and to anybody who was excited to bust out a tune or two while their clannies feed Hannibal.
I’m not a fan of poison dynamite being added unpolled. Even though I’d likely vote yes, a fundamental change to how self-imposed restrictions work is not an integrity update. If people want to do certain things they need to get combat xp. The community already decided that when they didn’t want pures to be able to go back to Ape Atoll without claiming the combat xp.
It's more a case of us having fixed a bug (spawn-hitting) that was a staple for many key progress milestones on certain types of limited account (namely 10hp accounts).
By fixing the bug, we unintentionally had the knock-on effect of preventing any future creators of these account types from being able to achieve the same things. In Poll 76 it was stated: 'We hope that this is a sensible way to let those players resume the content in a way that feels fitting to Old School and not reliant on a bug.'
The fundamental change to how those restrictions work was made when the bug was fixed and this is a fitting way to balance the playing field while still making sense in-world.
Maximum hitsplat tints still occur at Skotizo when hitting the dark crystals with Arklight. Not sure if that was one you were looking to not have that on given it's guaranteed with weapon.
I know, I allowed that... Possibly because they have 100 hp and if that's not going to be a max hit it would feel really feel lame. I went on a case by case basis, which makes it hard to summarize in a newspost.
