Dig Site quest will have its place in the skill somewhere, don't worry.

Comment

As one of the developers working on Archaeology, the skill and elite outfits are planned to be exclusively earned via training the skill (that's how we've designed and already developed them), and accounted for it in the skill's balancing.

Obviously, I can't predict the future (and have even less control over it), but I can't see anyone wanting to add it to TH even at a later date. TH has not broken any previous new skill embargo, so precedent should suggest this one will hold firm and, by the time it is up, a fair proportion of players will already have one, if not both, of the outfits, so any market for it on TH would be severely limited anyway.

That to, but no, I can't explain it other then the lair is laggy, e.g. I surge, and it takes a good 3/4 ticks to register and surge me, using any ability has the same effect.

I don't mind it and im used to it now, but I just thought id flag and ask, otherwise the boss itself I know and understand is a constant stun fest, 2 attacks stun, 2 attacks, stun, I am not mis-intepriting the stuns for lag! :)

Thanks for the info, both :) worth sanity checking to see if we can improve any performance at least

The current plan is to convert magic beans into "bags of beans" (name pending). Using one of these bags will convert it into the value of the magic beans available from the farm. This means you can store past the limit of beans on the farm in your bank as with existing magic beans and still have the option of purchasing one of the growth potions if you want the effect.

Ultimately you shouldn't be out any beans.

I think uncovering and rebuilding a 'buried' city could be awesome (even potentially another 'World Event' level thing).

With Archaeology around the corner and Senntisten in ruins (presumably?), rebuilding the city could easily be a long-term event kind of thing (without MTX of course).

Having the event take a while would also give you guys time to develop the actual final touches to it - and considering the only real 'undercities' we have are Keldagrim and Dorgesh-Kaan (off the top of my head), it would be nice to have a third, more graphically updated, city.

As a possible future piece of content, sure, it's a good suggestion. But a new city is MASSIVE undertaking (we're talking the 6 month minimum approach) and unless it has a REALLY solid purpose it's not really the best use of that time when we could provide lots of other content instead.

Certainly it's something to suggest and something we'll consider for the future, but in the context of this quest it's just not feasible.

Hey! I'd love to look at this, but we must use our time wisely during the jam! At a minimum I'd like to look into the lag issue you're experiencing. :) (good luck on pet?)

I hope we actually get a new city

We won't.

Another city, something like Menaphos or Prif is a massive undertaking and, frankly, there's not really space for such a thing in the game right now (it would need a purpose and that purpose has already been claimed by the other cities).

This will be a quest. It'll be an interesting quest with lots to learn, but no, it won't be a whole new city.

Hey dude, thanks for getting back especially out of hours.

  • The card is a 1080ti

  • Driver 436.60, although this has happened in 3 or 4 prior releases at least

  • OS is Win10 Pro, ver 1809, build 17763.805.

  • Normal mode

  • VSync off, The FPS caps are set to 150, but I also have RTSS capping the FPS of all apps to 144 because I'm running GSync.

  • If it helps here are my RS graphics settings

I don't see any other instability with any other games on this PC, it's really stable otherwise. If other games crashed I wouldn't be blaming this on RS.

If you want me to test out anything else or have any other ideas please shoot - I'm happy to be a lab rat for the purpose of fixing this. The only annoyance is that the issue is spontaneous and not immediately reproducible.

*Edit:

I'm glad you mentioned driver cra...

RTSS = rivatuner statistics server? It has known issues with many games, we've actually had to hack in workarounds specifically for it, would recommend trying with it uninstalled
