I had a vision of people painting amongus with pumpkins and you made it come to life! Thank you, u/BunsenGyro!

You can drop them on the floor and they'll stay there for about an hour. In case you too wanted to unleash the artist within and paint with pumpkins. Although since they're not tradeable nobody will see it unless you take a screenshot!

So I am the mod, the gardener is someone dear to me who lost someONE dear to them (and me). That someone was not a cat, but they liked cats very much.

Will say for this issue in particular it's extremely rare but still significant enough to be worth fixing ASAP, it's really not the kind of thing you could just stumble on in testing and isn't strictly related to any specific content from today's update.

There's no rollback, just a quick restart to fix an extremely rare issue that results in some crashes

Comment

Have raised with the team to take a look in case any underlying changes to the engine might be causing this

Was this in a private instance by any chance?

Comment

If you've completed the tasks under the correct conditions in the past, it should retroactively complete those CAs for you on your next kill of the boss. Is that likely what's happened here?

What about assisting solo wintertodt players by maybe implementing an instanced option?

I've had too many people show up on my empty world hours in to finish my game while I wanted to stay longer and get more points up.

It's absurd that people argue that "well you should wait until it dies down to do it" because am I simply not supposed to do new content when it drops? It's not entirely new content but as a rework it might as well be.

We spoke about this a fair bit with players during the beta and changes. Ultimately boils down to instancing Wintertodt being a significant job that's likely to have knock-ons for other updates that we believe serve a wider portion of the playerbase. Fully appreciate that it's frustrating for now (and it will die down) but the honest answer is just that it's not something we're able to commit to at the moment, though we recognise the interest and would like to do it at some point when time permits!

PvP Arena matchmaking being fixed is so good! Shout out to the team for this even if it’s long overdue.

Appreciate the kind words! Long overdue is an understatement, but hopefully the experience gained with this round of fixing should make future issues significantly easier to troubleshoot and turn around!

Is the total amount of Combat Achievement not getting to the point where its kinda ridiculous? On release is was only 400, but with adding 10+ tasks for most bosses its getting close to 600.

Its a shame that combat achievements is getting more and more filler tasks when it would be much more interesting with fewer but more challanging tasks

Think there are absolutely people on the team (myself included) who feel like we should be getting more creative with CAs. Some of that 'bloat' comes from the varying difficulties and scaling elements (i.e. if you have times for players of varying ability/gear sets to aspire to, then you might be adding 3 or 4 CAs that are more relevant for different types of players), but think there's for sure an appetite to try and get more exciting with them.

Other side of that coin is in this area of 'if this boss is aimed at people in a really early stage of their journey (and thus is very simple), how much cooking is too much cooking' and trying to strike up the right balance between tasks feeling creative without feeling like nonsense. Think Araxxor did a pretty good job here and it's for sure an area we could stand to step up on.

Thank you!

Can this be added to Farming contracts aswell?

Will make sure to raise this too, think it's been raised in the past but will bump the team on it!

Something on this scale should be a case more of 'show don't tell'

Does completing this Halloween event unlock all music tracks? I am currently only missing last year's Christmas track and it won't let me trim my music cape until i unlock it :(

Only the Halloween ones I'm afraid! The Christmas tracks will unlock after completing the Christmas event.

Lilly of sands and crystal dust update for goggles at mixology?

Could've sworn Lilies had been plugged in, will raise both of these in tomorrow's feedback meet!

Recently we had the change to Mahogany homes where you can choose "Select last tier" when getting a contract from Amy. This was never added to NPC Contact, however. Is it possible to have this added?

I think this is still due to be done, will chase this up with the team!

Are the agility rework changes ever coming out?

Currently working through another blog on Run Energy (presuming that's what you're asking about) for another beta, since our last proposal didn't really hit the mark. Hoping to have that in front of players before the end of October!
