Stitch up should be fixed now - can you confirm if any of these screenshots are from today?

So “really difficult” to switch up which one gets placed where? As a community manager isn’t your job to provide the feedback to the group? You’re telling me before s2 launched you had the full roadmap planned out already? So nothing could be adapted? Seems very silly that you stuck to such an iconic thing in medieval times like a knight... and dragon behind paywalls and crap you exclusively, personally hand out. Pretty sweet oversights I’d say.

Why is that an oversight? I mean, we do WANT people to pay for the DLC. We're not running a charity here, we are a company. It's an online game with server costs. That's why we sell DLC at all.

As well though, we have TONNES of costumes available for free in the game without paying.

When Season 2 launched... yes... the whole of Season 2's costumes and store rotation was already planned out. That's why dates leak weeks ahead of time.

We're launching Season 3.5 next week, and it locks down all of the costumes and store rotations up to Season 4. We've been filming the trailer, while the store rotations are planned, while bugs are being fixed, etc... it's all worked on simultaneously by different departments.

We don't just come into work each day and be like "Hmmm, what costumes shall we throw into the store today" - it's all planned while we're working on the update - and while we're filming trailers - and while the content is being created.

Hey Oliver! I actually agree with you regarding the importance of standing firm with some community decisions and not catering to every request.

My only area where I was a little disappointed, is that for the Medieval theme season you guys really hyped up dragons and knights, and we ended up not having a single kudos, battle pass, or crown way of getting a skin variant for either of those. I’d love to get your thoughts on if this is something you guys plan on moving away from? Seems like you guys did much better with that this season as there was a bunch of cool winter options for us. Thanks for your time!

Hey, thanks!

Yeah, it was due to - at the time we made the Season 2 marketing assets - it wasn't decided which costumes would be fame path, which would be DLC, which would be featured... etc...

We have limited resources so our trailers are actually filmed during our playtests. We need to test all the costumes out, so they're all unlocked and people just wear whichever they like.

We've tried to get better at it for Season 3.

It was still really difficult though.

For example, we had to cut out all the footage that showed the Santa costume... which was a LOT of footage.

It even ended up with a Santa on one of the loading screens.

It's so hard to film marketing assets, while testing, while deciding which costumes will be used for what, and without it having any spoilers and reveals.

We definitely did a better job of this for Season 3 though, and will hopefully do a good job of it on Season 4 and beyond too.

cool

Listening to your community doesn't mean you have to do EVERYTHING they say. That would be utter chaos. Especially when it's just a small vocal minority.

Nope.

There's two mice.

One has been in the store.

The other is going in the store soon - which is the one given out to streamers early.

I don't know what else they could possibly mean.

Hey, as we've said many times, we've heard your feedback on this, but we're not going to change anything about the way we're doing it.

The mouse variant in this picture is coming to the store and was always going to be.

With the others, you've massively underestimated how many people have them. Your numbers are way out.

Spamming this image on Twitter/Reddit/Discord/etc won't change anything.

Are leaks/datamining not against the rules on this subreddit?

Yeah - Timing out isn't supposed to be the way this level finishes - if it constantly ends with timing out, it does imply that it's too difficult.

So when is the actual update.. its been 41 days since season 3, i thought midseason was 30 days after and next season 60.

The season countdown is never 100% accurate when the season starts. In this update, the devs are adding the word 'approx' to the countdown to make this clearer.

When the countdown runs out, usually we will then announce the date of the next Season, and then give double fame points during the time between the two dates.

I imagine we'll do the same again this time around.

Are physics tied to FPS? Because they feel like they are tied to 60 fps. I play on 144 but things like rollout obstacles have always rotated at what looks like 60 fps. Is playing above 60 making me even more prone to wonky physics?

It shouldn't be, so if you are finding that it consistently is the case, you may just have helped us identify the issue!

I vaguely remember near launch there was an issue tied to frame rate on levels like tip toe, where you literally wouldn't be able to stand on the tiles without falling. A few streamers had the problem - was tied to FPS.

I'll suggest this to the team!

We all paid for this game, so we can enjoy it. Your team literally gets paid to make and fix and play the game. Literally playing the game is part of the job. Why do the players need to do extra work so that you guys can get rewarded for it? If not enough players make and edit videos to send to you guys to prove that the mistake you guys made is real, then you guys have less work to do? Come on, what a joke. If there really was "no change" to the way "physics" work, then tell us.

I'm pretty sure there was a change, because you guys aren't saying "there was no change". You guys wants us to tell you what the change is, when you guys made it! Just go back and look, we as players can't do that for you.

There was no intentional change to the physics. I bring it up with the team that people say it feels different, but they're not yet able to pinpoint exactly what is causing it.

It's probably a side effect from something else - like when we've working on latency, or worked on other mechanics.

There are a lot of systems at play, and it's hard for us to specifically work out what feels different and what is causing it.

I've personally noticed it too, and I mention it on our streams occasionally when it feels different. I don't know how to solve it or what causes it... I just know that sometimes, it feels like physics on my character are more intense than they used to be.

Despite the auto-tag, this is very much unofficial fanart that I did just for the memes lol
