Man Who Vowed to Finish Current Game Spots a Pretty New Game Looking at Him Across the Room

Posted on by Matt Fresh

TORONTO — Local gamer Frank Meadows has found himself in quite a predicament as despite his vow to finish the game he’s currently playing, temptation is having its way with him as he’s spotted a pretty new game looking at him from across the room.

Meadows took to social media to discuss his current internal struggle.

“I’m so conflicted here because I’m in the middle of this big open-world game that I’m really loving,” Meadows said to his dozens of followers. “I have a real problem with not finishing games before moving on to another game but I vowed that I would finish this since I’m enjoying it so much. But my Baldur’s Gate 3 physical edition got delivered the other day and it’s so beautiful and it’s just looking at me, begging to be played and I don’t know if I’m strong enough to resist giving it what it wants.”

Meadows, who has been single since high school, doesn’t often have something so beautiful staring at him in temptation, which is why this is so difficult for him.

“This just never happens to me. Even all the other times I’ve abandoned games to play something else it was because I felt like it. The problem here is that I don’t want to abandon this game, I really love it but every time I glance across the room Baldur’s Gate 3 is there looking at me and it’s so beautiful. It’s probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen and definitely the most beautiful thing that’s ever wanted me to touch it. I just don’t know what to do.”

Meadows’ struggle ended up going slightly viral and renowned gaming relationship counselor Bradley MacDougall weighed in with professional advice.

“One of the main reasons that gamers and their games even come to me is due to issues stemming from the desire to move on to a different game before the relationship has reached its natural conclusion. I’ll tell Mr. Meadows what I tell all my patients. While the primal desire to play something else can be tempting, not finishing your current game relationship will only cause a repressed backlog that will eventually lead to having so many games to play that your brain just shuts down and you don’t play anything.”

Amid his crisis, Meadows contacted his parents for advice on what to do. His mother took to Facebook to address the situation.

“I just want my boy to get help. He’s about to turn 30 and has never been on a date,” His mother Dina said through tears in a heartbreaking Facebook Live.

At press time, Meadows has begun his playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3 but the unopened copy of Metal Gear Solid 5 that he bought three Black Fridays ago is calling to him.

Roboquest – Arsenal Update Patch-Notes April 15

Here are the patch-notes for the 1.2 version of Roboquest: the Arsenal Update.
Find the release announcement here.

Patch-Notes 1.2

 

Gameplay

  • New resource: Crystal Powder
    • Crystal Powder can be acquired at the end of levels containing a Corrupted Crystal you've already claimed
    • Crystal Powder is used to increase a weapon's rarity from Epic to Fantastic in the new friendly robot Willy Wonder (view in the Friendly Robots section later)
  • New keyword: Summon
    • Summoning is the action of deploying allies like drones, decoy, sentry turrets and everything else that is tagged as Summon in its description
    • Several ingame elements such as Perks and Items grants bonus effects to your Summons
    • Reworked several parts of the code to make sure your summons apply your additional effect like "marking burns"

Classes

  • Several perks have been reworked to now include the Summon keyword

Weapons

General
  • New weapons:
    • Missile Battery - We had a minigun but we didn't have a ROCKET minigun.
    • Rapier - En garde!
    • Sling Gun - And the stone goes boom!
    • Minion Box - Raise my minions!
    • Mini Cricket - We liked that gun from a famous movie with aliens. Such boomer times.
    • Gauss Rifle - Pro Quake player, anyone?
    • Bee Cannon - A mysterious vacuum that shoots bees.
    • Boomerang - Whoosh in and whoosh out.
    • Shuriken - For all the robot-ninja mains out there (you know who I'm talking about).
  • The damage of summons deployed by alt-fires has been increased by 15% per weapon level to 20% per weapon level

  • Fragmentation reworked, now works as Buckshot but sends a volley of explosive projectiles
    • Developers' Note: Fragmentation always felt awkward and a bit misplaced due to its graphical implementation and its projectile speed. Replacing it with something that propels several projectiles similar to its origin weapon will probably feel better overall and works best for us in terms of balancing and implementation. Beware Kaboom Buckshot!
  • New affixes:
    • Echo - Additional Ricochet and Ricochet damage

  • Heart Necklace now also increases your armor if a summon is nearby

Top 10 Grasses to Go Touch

Posted on by Matt Ringler

We’re all guilty of spending too much time online, but some of you definitely spend too much time online. You’ve probably had someone tell you to “touch grass”, but don’t know where to start. Luckily for you, we’ve compiled a list of the Top 10 Grasses you can go out and touch. 

 

10. Kentucky Bluegrass

Kentucky Bluegrass is one of the most common grasses you can find in North America. It is thought to have come over with European settlers in the 17th and 18th centuries as they established roots in the Kentucky region.

Chances are you can walk outside your house, apartment, or basement and easily find some Kentucky Bluegrass to run your hands though. It’s so easy to find you can probably find some within range of a Wi-Fi signal, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of this article. 

9. St. Augustine Grass

If you live in the Southern United States, the Mediterranean, Caribbean, or other tropical climates, St. Augustine Grass is your cultivar of choice. An interesting characteristic of St. Augustine Grass is that it is vegetatively propagated and there is no such thing as St. Augustine Grass seed you can purchase.

Once you find a patch, run your hands through its characteristically coarse blades and soak up some vitamin D that you are most likely deficient in after spending all your time arguing about the inclusion of a minority in the latest AAA game.   

8. Common Reed

Depending on how badly you need to get out and touch grass, Kentucky and St. Augustine might not cut. You’ll have to venture into the wetlands where you can find the Common Reed. Growing up to 20 feet (6 meters) tall, you can envelop your whole self in a thicket of reeds and forget all of your stresses.

Or if you run into someone else, you can argue whether or not the Common Reed is an invasive species in North America and fulfill your need to argue with strangers about topics of little consequence.  

7. Bermuda Grass

Despite its name, Bermuda Grass isn’t from Bermuda and is considered an invasive species there. With a soft feel, you can let the blade brush against your skin and help you remember the world outside social media.  

It is most commonly found on lawns and on the sports fields of professional teams you swear you could manage better with your one-year experience on a junior varsity soccer team.

6. Bamboo

​​Though it may not look like what you think of when you hear the word “grass”, Bamboo is in fact part of the Poaceae family of grasses. There are over 1500 species of Bamboo across the world and if you live in a warm climate, you can probably find some to touch.

Bamboo also has tons of uses, cultural significance, and environmental benefits. However, we aren’t going to list them here so that you have to go look them up and hopefully take you away from that 1500-word Twitter essay about the current state of Star Wars that you’re writing.    

5. AstroTurf

If you can’t easily find real grass nearby (which is concerning), some good AstroTurf can get the job done. Invented in 1964 and originally patented as ChemGrass, it was renamed to AstroTurf after being installed in the Houston Astrodome in 1966.

Don’t worry that it’s fake grass, touching AstroTurf still counts as real. The same way that your dating sim relationships are real and that no one else should ship them differently without your permission.    

4. Lemon Grass

Not all grasses you have to go out and touch. Some you can go out and eat. There is a high likelihood that you’ve consumed Lemon Grass in some way, shape, or form in the past. 

One of its many medicinal properties is as a headache reliever, which you probably need after staring unblinkingly at your phone all day while trying to think of the perfect comeback to the Gen Z TikToker who made fun of your side part.

3. Pampas Grass

Pampas Grass, specifically the Cortaderia selloana, species is another tall grass you can lose yourself in. It also sports lush and fluffy (looking) leafs that would be irresistible to even the most terminally online person.

If you’re in the UK, and a little more adventurous, a patch of Pampas Grass in front of someone’s home may indicate that the couple living there are swingers. This may or may not be factual, so take caution before you go knocking on doors.  

2. Fine Fescue Grass

Fine Fescue grass can be easily identified by its long, wavy grass blades that may resemble the hair of your romantic partner you canceled plans with to make sure you won an argument about politics in 1980s South America in the comments of a Facebook post about local trash pickups.

However, this is the only grass on this list that we’ll give you a pass on touching. Fescue pollen is a significant irritant for those with hay fever. Though there are nine other options to choose from on this list, so you’re not off the hook.    

1. Zoysia Grass

Named after Karl von Zois by German botanist Carl Ludwig Willdenow, Zoysiagrass makes the top of our list due to its thick, carpet-like feel that can be inviting to any barefoot adventurer. It is commonly found on golf courses where you are sure to find people who have no idea what the current Twitter drama is. Or that Twitter is now called X. Or what Twitter really is.

Seriously, we all spend too much time online and could benefit from less of it. Go out and touch grass.

UPDATED June 13

 

 

V Rising 1.0 Hot Fix #7 June 13

The following improvements will be added to V Rising with this patch

Hello Vampires.
We will start patching V Rising shortly.
This hotfix brings the following fixes and updates:

 

General

  • Added support for loading a specific auto-save using the “Load Game” option. This allows players to load previous saves in case the latest auto-save becomes corrupt. However, this won’t recover lost saved data or progress from auto-saving issues.
  • The “Leave Game” button in the System Menu now displays “Save & Exit” if you are the game’s host. This is to clarify that the game always saves when you leave it.

 

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an exploit where players could clip through doors using the Sword Shockwave ability.
  • Fixed a bug where players sometimes could not select a waypoint to teleport or a coffin to respawn in.
  • Fixed a potential crash when navigating the Build Menu.
  • Fixed a potential crash triggered by a player destroying a Refinement station while another player looked at recipes.
  • Fixed a potential crash that could occur when interacting with Servants.
  • Fixed a potential crash caused by renaming stations or containers.
  • Fixed a crash related to castle relocation that could occur if a player left the territory during the relocation process while building.
  • Fixed a potential crash when interacting with the Devourer.

 

If you're having issues with the game, make sure to take a look at our known bugs and fixes to see if there's a potential solution to get you back into Vardoran as quickly as possible!
We're always grateful for your help in translating the game at https://crowdin.com/project/v-rising-game

V Rising 1.0 Hot Fix #5 May 29

The following improvements will be added to V Rising with this patch

Greetings Vampires!
Today we bring you a series of quality of life and usability fixes, a new optional gamepad layout, a whole host of bug fixes, and a ton of V Blood changes to make the visuals on fights more clear, as well as adjust the difficulty just a bit to be better in line with our expectations.
This hotfix will be going live shortly and feature the following changes:

 

General

  • A number of FX have been updated with new visuals to improve performance.
  • Soul Shards will now automatically be destroyed if not picked up from the ground after 60 minutes.
  • Server Details window now displays castle pvp times.
  • Soul Shards can no longer be spawned using the console command unless the shard has already dropped (to avoid admin mistakes by spawning shards that are not bound to the shard bearer).
  • Players in Siege Golem form are now immune to Witch's “Hex” spell (the spell that turns players into pigs). It previously removed the Siege Golem buff if players were hit by this spell (the spell is used by the Blood Witch, so this could create some awkward siege interactions).
  • Increased the configurable range of the brightness calibration option.
  • A particular leaf bush in Farbane Woods and Cursed Forest now has the correct visual representation after a player has cut it.
  • General optimizations to improve performance.
  • Vietnamese Localization has been added.

 

Gamepad

  • A new control layout has been implemented. The new layout favors a more convenient camera control that better mimics the right mouse button on the PC. Both Weapon Skill 1 and 2 are on double inputs in order to make this control layout work.
  • L2 is the Camera Modifier, and the Right Stick controls the camera.
  • Players may rotate the camera while using the primary attack at the same time (R2).
  • L2 + R1 to trigger Weapon Skill 1.
  • R2 + L1 to trigger Weapon Skill 2.
  • North Face Button (Triangle / Y) as shortcut to Build Menu.
  • Players may now select control layout in the Option Menu and can choose between the new control layout and the old control layout.
  • Some ability slots have been moved to new slots on shapeshifts such as Toad and Siege Golem to make sure both control layouts work properly.

 

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where you could transfer all Blood Essence from an enemy Castle Heart by using the Take All key bind.
  • Fixed an issue where you could input items into an invisible servant coffin inventory.
  • Fixed an issue where server times did not take Daylight savings time into account.
  • Fixed an issue where server details did not display Mortium Rift Incursion Event settings correctly.
  • Fixed an issue where castle objects that require multiple levels of space could be placed on top of other objects taller than a single level. For instance, this allowed a castle throne to be placed on top of trees.
  • Fixed an issue where the name horse prompt could activate when browsing the inventory while using gamepad.
  • Fixed an issue on Cyril the Cursed Smith where his Spear summon would not attack properly on Normal Difficulty.
  • Fixed an issue on Cyril the Cursed Smith where he would summon Axes on Normal Difficulty (Brutal Difficulty only Summon).
  • Fixed some overlapping text issues in tooltips on some languages.
  • Fixed an issue where you could dupe unique structures in relocation if you were outside of the networking range.
  • Fixed an issue where the “Every Corner of the World” achievement was unlocked without visiting every world region.
  • Fixed an issue where default castle music could sometimes play for a while after logging in even if a music box was playing tracks in the castle.
  • General stability fixes for AI movement logic, should fix various cases where units could lag, especially when aggroed.
  • Fixed an issue where certain abilities could interrupt other, already casting, abilities.

 

V Blood Balance Changes

Balance tweaks and updates on the following V Bloods.

 

Dracula the Immortal King (Primarily Co-op changes.)

  • Reduced damage on Vampiric Curse.
  • Blood Crystals no longer fire burst of projectiles.
  • Slightly reduced the number of extra projectiles spawned for each player in projectile-based spells during phase 2.
  • Tweaks to hitboxes on Circle of Blood to better match the visuals.
  • Slight increase in air-time on shockwave projectile knock up effect.

 

Solarus the Immaculate (Brutal difficulty changes only).

  • Cooldown and timing tweaks on select Divine Angel attacks on Slight damage reduction and hitbox size tweaks on melee projectiles on Brutal Difficulty.

 

Adam the Firstborn

  • Reduced maximum health by 5% and phase 2 health by 10%.
  • Damage, cast and velocity reduction on a few attacks.
  • Fixes to visual effects and hit-colliders that were mismatching (not properly feedbacking danger areas / hitboxes).

 

Gorecrusher the Behemoth

  • Minor adjustments to his max health to scale better in solo vs co-op.

 

Lord Styx the Night Champion (Brutal difficulty changes only)

  • Slight tweaks to timing in leap/dash attacks.

 

Tristan the Vampire Hunter (Brutal difficulty changes only)

  • Aim prediction on his crossbow attack has been tweaked.

 

Maja the Dark Savant (Brutal difficulty changes only)

  • Minor adjustment to health on her minions.
  • Minor adjustments to the velocity of books circling the arena.

 

General Valencia the Depraved

  • Damage reduction on iron maiden attack.

V Rising 1.0 Hot Fix #4 May 22

The following improvements will be added to V Rising with this patch

Greetings Vampires!
Another week of our covert war against sinister forces wages on (because the only sinister forces should be us), and with that, we bring you another list of fixes and adjustments to better perfect your experience of those lovely, blood-soaked Vardoran nights.
This hotfix will feature the following changes:

 

General

  • A number of visual effects have been updated to improve performance in combat.
  • Optimizations for doors in castles to improve performance in big castles with lots of doors.
  • Made doors fade out in front of the player.
  • Optimizations have been done to a number of UI elements to improve performance.
  • Added a 2 second immaterial buff to players when exiting Dracula’s Throne Room.
  • Some objects in Cursed Forest have been optimized to improve performance.
  • Fading added to some archways in Iron Cave (Dunley Farmlands) and Spider Cave (Cursed Forest).
  • The behavior of the music being played from the Music Box has been recalibrated to more accurately replicate the behavior of the default castle music.
  • Various optimisations and bug fixes on sound effects.
  • Improved precision and performance of occlusion culling.

 

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an exploit where it was possible to escape Dracula's throne room with Blood of the Immortal.
  • Blood of the Immortal is now removed when a player is downed, preventing an exploit where players could use Blood of the Immortal during the first phases of the Dracula fight.
  • Fixed an issue where Blood potions icons got stretched with misaligned texts.
  • Fixed an issue where Blood potions didn't have their blood % displayed when in the action bar.
  • Fixed visual feedback on physics for some objects in Mortium.
  • Fixed shapes on some rugs in the player castle, to make them more circular.
  • Fixed a spot next to a build area in Gloomrot South where players could get trapped.
  • Fixed player collision on player castle fireplaces, making the collision not stand out too much from the object.
  • Fixed a bug where the yield when harvesting multiple plant types would merge instead of displaying a separate yield number for each type of plant harvested.
  • Fixed a localization issue for the “Close” button in the Servant menu where the wrong text was used.
  • Fixed an issue where players with shards would get locked out from using waygates outside of raid hours.
  • Fixed issue where boss music often restarted on top of the already playing instance when disengaging a boss.
  • Fixed an issue where killing a boss on brutal after it had already been defeated on a lower difficulty on the same server did not trigger the brutal achievement.
  • Fixed an exploit where players could get free resources by dismantling workstations during relocation.
  • Fixed an issue where an old setting could cause erroneous behavior during building.
  • Fixed an issue where the “wallpaper fill” feature could cause server lag.
  • Fixed an issue where the /r (reply) command in Chat did not work in some cases.
  • Fixed an issue with overdrawing UI.
  • Fixed a material issue on the Spear Summons by Cyril the Cursed Smith.
  • Fixed an issue where Recipe Tracking did not work in the Player Crafting menu.
  • Fixed a material issue in some of Adam the Firstborn’s spells.
  • Fixed an issue with Rowdain Steed that caused it to face the wrong direction while not mounted.
  • Fixed an issue where the Blood Soul version of Domina the Blade Dancer would get an off-setted return position when encountered during an incursion event in the North Fortress Ruins. This caused her to sometimes exit combat if the player walked a short distance away from her.
  • Fixed an issue where Dracula could at rare occasions teleport outside of the arena and reset during phase 1.

 

Dracula Balance Changes

These changes primarily target brutal mode, we are looking into a few changes to address difficulty and scaling in co:op vs solo for a future patch. Our intention is to make the fight more balanced for solo players as well as co:op players. Right now the fight is a bit over-tuned for co:op and we are looking at some additional changes to address this.
The changes done to Brutal mode are made to ensure that Dracula can be defeated with more types of weapons and spells. Additionally, swapping spells between phases should not feel like a necessity. These changes aim to make Phase 3 less punishing if players don’t manage to kill all ads while making Phase 4 less stressful and all in all reduce the overall amount of RNG and requirement on defensive builds and/or top DPS builds.

 

Phase 1

  • Wolfs spawned in co-op health reduced by 20%.

 

Phase 2

  • Damage done by his long dash, where he summons an additional shadow, reduced to 180% from 250%.

 

Phase 3 (Brutal Only)

  • Blood Souls movement reduced to 0.75 from 0.9.
  • Blood Souls healing reduced to 3.5% from 5%.

 

Phase 4 (Brutal Only)

  • Curse of Dracula now increases damage taken by 1% per stack instead of 3% per stack.
  • Waves of Projectiles now spawn every 3.0 seconds instead of every 2.5 seconds.
  • Projectile velocity reduced to 10 from 13.
  • Increased the duration of the shrinking blood storm effect to shrink over 80s instead of 60s.
  • Slightly reduced the knockback on the pushback blood novas.
  • Increased the impact duration for ethereal sword aoe’s to 1.4s from 1.2s.

V Rising 1.0 Hot Fix #2 May 14

The following improvements will be added to V Rising with this patch

Greetings Vampires!
The war on bug-kind continues unabated as our elder Vampires set to massacring those who would disrupt our mission to conquer Vardoran! We are doing our utmost to ensure you, or kin, can build your legend uninterrupted. Consider this one more step towards the most perfect Vampire experience we can offer.
This hotfix will feature the following changes:
  • Fixed a rare bug where players could get stuck in combat once they leave a fight.
  • Fixed a rare issue where players could get stuck outside of the map with a “blue screen” on login, as their character was not synced properly to their client.
  • Fixed a potential server crash issue.
  • Fixed an issue where players would technically still have a weapon equipped after dragging and dropping it into the upgrade slot of the Ancestral Forge.
  • Fixed an issue where the Soul Shard map icon would not update correctly to follow the player carrying it if the Soul Shard was equipped directly from a Soul Shard pedestal.
  • Fixed a rare issue where not all unlocked progressions were correctly synced to a player upon login.
  • Fixed an issue where the maximum user cap would not work correctly, allowing more players to join a server than intended.
  • Fixed an issue where pillars could be destroyed in wide entrances if the wide entrance did not have support by an additional wall. This meant that a golem could destroy an entrance in one hit if they hit the pillar.
  • The server setting for displaying siege golems on the map is now toggled as “disabled” as the default setting. This will retroactively go into affect on Official Servers, and on those servers siege golems will no longer show on the map when placed.

  • Players may now insert subdued units into empty enemy cells to allow for prisoner trades.
  • When purchasing books from a trader you can now see what books you have already unlocked.
  • Fixed a few assets that were not fading correctly when the player was standing behind them.
  • Lanterns in Farbane Woods Cemeteries now emit light correctly.
  • The illusion spawned when using Veil of Illusion will no longer attack other players in PvE.
  • The support mail in the main menu has been updated.

Total War: WARHAMMER III Update Patch Notes June 13

Posted on by Michelle Pereira

 

UPDATED June 13

 

 

Hotfix 5.0.5 June 13

Hey everyone,
We've got a couple of quick fixes for you today in Hotfix 5.0.5, focused on Black Arks.
  • Fixed an issue where executing the Sacrifice to Mathlann would unintentionally spawn multiple Black Arks, leading to spam. The fix ensures that characters are only added to the recruitment pool without spawning, preventing the spam.
  • Minor adjustments to AI-controlled Black Ark behaviour, improving end-turn performance.
We'll also be looking at adding further improvements to Black Arks in future updates to help them move more meaningfully within the AI framework.
Thanks for your ongoing feedback and bug reports. If you experience a bug or issue while playing, remember to report it over in our dedicated bug reporting sub-forum.
See you on the battlefield!

Hotfix 5.0.3 May 14

Greetings!
We've just rolled out Hotfix 5.0.3, bringing with it the changes to Age of Reckoning which we mentioned in our past updates, alongside a plethora of tweaks and fixes!
Here's what we've got:

 

Age of Reckoning

We've done quite a large balance pass of the Age of Reckoning system in order to try and simultaneously make it less hectic and scale more reasonably, while also maintaining its difficulty to ensure players don't easily max it out every cycle:
  • Grudge targets are now defined based on the factions you share a land border with rather than all "met" factions.
    • While the intent remains the same that we want Grudge targets to scale up/down depending on your local situation, we overlooked some issues that were detrimental to the current gameplay if you revealed too much too quickly beyond your own lands. We will continue to monitor the situation with the above change.
  • The second reward bracket (Skruff) no longer provides negative Control and Growth and the first reward bracket (Elgi) has had it's negatives slightly reduced. This should make the system feel less punishing if you only manage to reach the second bracket as it acts more like a neutral stage now.
  • Age of Reckonings and their subsequent rewards now last for 15 turns (from 10), however we have increased the percentage of grudges required from your local area each cycle to ensure it's still challenging.
  • Grudge targets now scale based on campaign difficulty.
  • We have squished the amount of grudges in the world along with how many grudges are gained by hostile actions, while this shouldn't create too much of a gameplay difference as the Grudge Targets will scale to match, it should make swings in Grudge Targets feel significantly less drastic.
  • Following the number squish, we've reduced the base cost of confederating to 7.5k settled grudges (From 15k)
  • Additional starting grudges have been added to the world (especially around the Darklands/Chaos Dwarves)
  • We fixed an issue with sacking settlements not fully clearing the grudges from the target, allowing you to double dip.
    • This fix also fixed an issue where enemy settlements would sometimes display grudges for a different culture (such as "Undead Actions" when the region is owned by beastmen).

 

We've also made the following adjustments to the Grudge Settler units and army rewards granted by the Age of Reckoning to smooth out its impact on the early and late game:
  • Base size of Grudge settler army has been changed from 15 -> 10
  • Added a further +3 grudge settler army size to the "Way of The Clans" technology (for a total of +5)
  • Added a further +2 grudge settler army size to Thorgrim's "High King" skill (for a total of +5)
  • The cap for maximum units reserved in your grudge settler unit pools has been reduced from 20 -> 2
  • The cap for grudge settler units in your army has been reduced from 5 -> 3
  • Added +1 to the unit cap in army to the warrior guild tech.
  • Added a further +1 to the unit cap in army to the Call Upon Oaths of Old tech (for a total of +2)
  • Grudge Settler units are no longer free to recruit.
  • Added -20% grudge settler unit recruitment cost to the warrior guild tech

 

Frost Wyrm Rescaling

As part of 5.0.3 we're making a pretty significant change to the Frost Wyrm by reducing its size by roughly a third. (See below)

Envisioned as a mid-tier fast mover, the Frost Wyrm was placed roughly in the brackets of large fast creatures like the Carnosaur, but the unit was also around the size of a Dread Saurian. We've heard your thoughts on the unit's performance since its release and concluded that the Frost Wyrm's concepted role and performance bracket was unworkable at its current size.
Size is an important balancing factor for our entity level simulations. Generally speaking, being larger exposes you to more potential attackers at the same time, owing to a larger attackable surface area, and so particularly large monsters must be paired with massive health pools, powerful defensive layers or dangerous abilities to survive. The Frost Wyrm was a mid-tier monster stuck in the body of a top-end supremacy-monster. Our reduction instead scales it similarly to a Carnosaur, compacting its stats into a less vulnerable package.
Additionally, we're making the following stat changes to the Frost Wyrm:
  • Armour: 80 -> 110
  • Bonus vs. Large: 0 -> 25
  • Max Entities Hit by Splash Attack: 6 -> 5 (this concentrates the weapon strength of the unit on fewer targets, improving its lethality)
Give the unit a spin and tell us what you think!

 

General Fixes

  • Fixed oneshot group vocalisations not triggering, particularly on unit selections and order responses ("Chosen of the Gods!" and all that good stuff)
  • Fixed 'Channel Magic!' always resulting in a loss of Winds of Magic. They say the house always wins but we're here to make that statement a bit less absolute.
  • Corrected a collision issue with the Thunderbarge that was causing most projectiles to phase through the balloon
  • Fixed an issue where certain plague symptoms could disappear/become unavailable when playing as Festus the Leechlord
  • Fixed an issue where Chaos Lords of Nurgle would not ascend to Daemon Princes when playing as Nurgle factions
  • Fixed an issue where Chaos Lords of Nurgle would not gain a trait when ascending to Daemon Princes
  • Pestigors now have 0 recruitment cost for Beastmen
  • Adjusted Dwarf grape shot to be in line with the imperial grape shot. Curtailing excessive shockwave radius around each projectile.
  • The Dwarf Dragon Slayer has found his unique axes stashed away under 2000 dead goblins and stopped stealing clothes from the Doomseekers. No wonder he's a Slayer.
  • Steam Tanks with Helblasters no longer benefit from the Helblaster upgrades in the imperial gunnery school. Units are not intended to double dip in multiple categories.
  • Fixed the effects provided by Miao Ying's quest item set
  • Balthasar Gelt's unique skill "Will of the Patriarch" now correctly increases Battle Wizard recruit rank
  • Fixed Chaos Sorcerer Lords and Heroes missing certain Marks of Chaos upgrades
  • Fixed the Gunnery School upgrade "Ballistics Plating" not functioning
  • Reverted oversight causing final transmutation to deal about a quarter the intended damage when not overcast
  • Fixed the Runesmith skill "Learned Intuition" having a lord's army scope instead of a hero's army scope.
  • Fixed an issue where some mounts could be stolen post-battle, sorry Bubebolos.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the Rot Beast to be available to all players, regardless of ownership. (Consider it a moldy, rotting taster.)
  • Fix reinforcement popup opening whenever the list of reinforcement updates.
  • The "Righteous Fury" skill shared by Warpriests and Arch Lector's now provides different effects.
    • For Arch Lectors:
      • Weapon Strength for flagellants: +10% -> +15%
      • Frenzy
    • For Warpriests:
      • Weapon strength for flagellants: Removed
      • Frenzy
  • Reduced the number of uses for the "Call of the Wild" amber college ability from 3 to 1.
  • The Beacon of Dawn Landmark now generates Slaanesh corruption for Morathi and the favoured corruption for all Daemon and Warriors of Chaos factions instead of always granting undivided corruption.
  • Fixed assembly_kit_example.pack presence in mods folder for Assembly Kit on Microsoft Store.
  • Cathay - fix Dragon Emperor's Wrath button notification still showing after the action has been performed
  • Fleshounds of Khorne were playing the wrong vocalisation tags, resulting in vocalisations cutting out - fixed
  • Fixed campaign conversational VO being able to trigger when multiple panels are open and one of them closes and also stopped the lord/hero panel that appears when selecting a lord/hero in campaign from blocking conversational VO
  • Fixed an issue where Gyrobombers were still being handled as single entities on the campaign, causing health inconsistencies.
  • Fixed an issue where the Lord Magistrate's unit card's colours were being tinted the wrong colour depending on your faction
  • Fixed an issue where unique herdstone settlements (Altdorf, Kislev etc.) weren't using the herdstone battle map when attacked
  • Fixed an issue where certain event feed notifications had a chance to cause a crash.
  • Fixed the tooltip in the Greenskin technology tree for Oglok the 'Orrible's trait displaying the wrong effects
  • Fixed an issue where Khalida's frontend poison attack benefit would simply state "phase name" when hovered over. Not very helpful, Khalida!
  • The Gate Master no longer misplaces his sword and shield when toggled into melee mode.
  • Added clearer collision impact sounds for land ship and steam tank
  • Where an effect applied only to Flamers and Exalted Flamers of Tzeentch (and sometimes Changebringers), it now always applies to Changebringers and Burning Chariots of Tzeentch as well
  • Fixed the portholes on dragon units being too zoomed in
  • Fixed an issue where mousing over spell lore selections in the custom battle menu would display the wrong text.
  • Reduced clipping of the chaos lord of Nurgle's arm and shield
  • Miners weapons are fixed ( now receiving blood properly )
  • Fixed some weapons that were appearing too blurred with TAA on.
  • Fixed the Gate Master and Exalted Hero of Tzeentch Heroes having the wrong "Mentor" skill
  • Beastment Rewards of dread will now always maintain the same original order instead of changing order based on the cost (this is to avoid an issue where sometimes the rewards will go on a third line instead of maintaining 2)
  • When playing a battle in multiplayer, battle speeds selected by the other players will now be highlighted.
  • Fixed an issue where confederated lords that had a loyalty rating (dark elves, skaven) would immediately drop to zero loyalty and rebel if confederated while that lord was in the pool or wounded
  • Fixed an issue where the Huntsman General's "Experienced Hunter" skill was giving regular empire archers upgraded crossbow bolts from crossbowmen instead of upgraded arrows.
  • Added modifier preview to buildings that provide factionwide resources (such as oathgold)
  • Mother Ostankya - fix curses showing in prebattle when reinforcing an ally instead of blessings
  • Individual entities will no longer attack while the unit is routing. This was particularly pronounced with Katarin on her sled.
  • Fix a placeholder army ability showing in multiplayer if one player takes control of daemon armies spawned from Malakai adventures
  • Fix funds field in multiplayer battles not being coloured red when the game version doesn't match
  • Fixed some abilities and attributes not being grouped together in the expanded view of the unit information panel
  • Fix war coordination button sometimes becoming active after a quest battle even when having no allies
  • Fix trade resources appearing as dy_resource after using the Slaanesh dominate mechanic in multiplayer
  • Fix mount icon in item set tooltip showing as weapon instead of the correct icon
  • Made Grom's Recipe UI top bar behave like it did in wh2, where it opens the panel when clicked
  • Fixed a rare crash caused by a lord gaining a mount while the army contains 21 units. (A rare occurrence itself, caused by armies which have lost their lord without replacing them yet recruiting up to fill all 20 slots with units before a replacement returns)
  • Fix some units in frontend lord selection not showing in the correct order
  • Fix selecting the 'show only unequipped item' checkbox in magic item panel and then switching to ancillary tab causing the ancillary tab to not filter out equipped items
  • Added diplomatic relations icon and tooltip to dilemma faction element, so it's easier to tell the relation with the faction from the dilemma (especially useful for dilemmas that give diplomatic relation)
  • Added stricter controls on rebel faction to prevent them generating invalid characters that can cause further issues.
  • Fixed Multiplayer Chaos Dwarf Ownership flag.
  • Fix chaos dwarfs technology notification appearing after all technologies have been researched
  • Fixed Skrag the Slaughterer has matched combat animation that leaves enemy body on battlefield
  • Fixed Vampire Coast Raise Dead marker not having a tooltip when attached to a settlement
  • Fix Visions of the Old Ones unit details tooltip appearing in an odd location that was causing parts of it to go out of screen
  • Fix corruption preview for agents entering a region not showing increased values from technologies

Enshrouded Update Patch Notes June 13

Posted on by Michelle Pereira

 

UPDATED June 13

 

 

Changelog for Patch #4- V 0.7.2.1 June 13

Version number: 535584
Here is a brand new patch for Enshrouded, with fixes and improvements. Thanks again to all of you who reported issues. The game keeps getting better as we iron out the kinks, thanks to you!
And now for the good stuff...

 

MAGE CHANGES AND CLASS BALANCE

We’ve been monitoring player feedback since the release of the latest changes to mage builds. As we mentioned before, balancing is an evolving endeavor that will continue as we expand the game. Your feedback is an important part of Enshrouded becoming the best game it can be, so please share your thoughts and anecdotes on combat situations on our Discord server at discord.gg/enshrouded. You remain as always our favorite part of making Enshrouded happen.

 

BUT ALSO

We are still investigating an issue with green luminescent blocks emitting too much light. It’s not you, it’s them.

 

CHANGELOG

  • Jump pads are now saved correctly when placed in the player base. Additionally, fixed an issue that caused the placement preview for self-crafted jump pads to be incorrectly rotated.
  • Fixed several instances where ladders wouldn’t allow proper climbing. Example locations are in the settlements in the Blackmire, Mark of Sameth, and Willow Crush.
  • Fixed several small level design issues with points of interest in the Blackmire area.
  • Tweaked the song quest location markers to better point at the target areas.
  • Shallow brown mud no longer prevents stamina regeneration. We experimented with this feature to communicate the feeling of being stuck and having to use a lot of energy to move around. However, it had the potential of getting players stuck at the bottom of climbing walls, which is not what was intended.
  • Fixed a potential exploit that allowed circumventing mud or tar debuffs by using the skill Bee Sting.
  • Moved banners to the crafting recipes offered by Valory the Bard.
  • Removed the spear-throwing Vukahs from the Springlands area.
  • Added two new dagger models for the Kindlewastes tier.
  • Fixed an issue with the Eternal Ice Arrow that could lead to the ammo being consumed, which is incorrect, of course.
  • Fixed a visual issue with the Noble Dress vanity set.
  • Fixed an incorrect behavior of the skill Merciless Strike, which offered the action several times in a row without allowing the enemy time to replenish their stamina.
  • Improved the ambient sound system for better detection of the area around the player.
  • Fixed a few instances where the camera would clip into the terrain or props.
  • Fixed the collision of secret doors.
  • Improved double-jumping uphill. Before, the jump could get unintentionally interrupted when the player character was directly facing a cliff.
  • Improved enemy pathfinding when they are walking or jumping down.
  • Fixed an issue with some attacks of the Wispwyvern boss that also affected players outside of the boss arena area.
  • Fixed an issue with tamed beasts that get stuck while trying to follow the player.
  • Fixed an issue when switching between mouse & keyboard and controller or vice versa while in a menu that led to unintentional character movement.
  • Fixed an issue that could lead to a visually incorrect terrain texture after fast traveling.
  • Fixed a random crash reported by players.
  • Reworked the display of damage numbers on enemies to reduce the occurrences of visual overlapping.
  • Added a warning when trying to chop wood or terraform without the permission on that server due to the defined user role.
  • Fixed a small UI issue with quick-move actions between backpacks and chests.
  • The “Barrier lifted” message from the Hollow Halls gates is now correctly displayed at the beginning of the game when having previously quit the session while the barrier is lifted.
  • Improved the display of used and available skill points.
  • Fixed cases where the enemy stun bar did not correctly show.
  • Improved the collapsing and un-collapsing of quest categories in the journal.
  • The “Feats of the Flame” widget showed incorrect text overlapping in French and Thai localizations, this has been fixed.
  • Fixed issues with the display of the game summary widget at the start of the game session.
  • Fixed some cases where world map markers were difficult to click when a quest area was active nearby.
  • It is no longer possible to kick players who themselves have the server permission to kick other players.
  • Improved the warnings and hints about setting passwords for peer-to-peer server hosts.
  • Fixed several typos.

 

 

Enshrouded Hotfix #12 June 6

Version number: 533348

 

Changes

  • Fixed an issue with mouse & keyboard controls when playing Enshrouded on Linux.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur at the start of the game.

Dedicated server hosts will need to update the version as well.

 

 

Changelog for Patch #2- V 0.7.1.1 April 17

Version number: 516139
Greetings Flameborn!

Here is a brand new patch for Enshrouded, with fixes and improvements. Thanks again to all of you who reported issues. The game keeps getting better as we iron out the kinks, thanks to you!

And now for the good stuff...

 

Enshrouded Update Patch Notes V0.7.1.0 Mar 26

 

Changelog

  • Fixed a crash in the building menu when having a very high number of building block types in the backpack or magical chests.
  • Fixed an issue that would lead to decorative elements at buildings being temporarily dislocated.
  • Fixed missing sounds. Sorry we can't be more specific this is all they told us.
  • Re-potted wheat now correctly gives wheat seedlings, not yucca ones. Botany is hard.
  • Fixed an issue in workstations that progress on a current recipe was reset when re-selecting the same recipe from the list.
  • Several improvements have been made to the wildlife movement. It should now behave more naturally when walking or fleeing.
  • Wildlife straying into player bases no longer has the dismantle prompt. This isn't how it works.
  • Fixed a bug where rotating the camera could inadvertently cancel a dismantle action.
  • Improved behavior of enemies that get attacked by players with ranged attacks but can’t find a path to the players. They now run around more than just standing still in panic.
  • Fixed an issue with lighting that caused the Blue Luminescent Blocks to have a green tint. Sorry to everyone who used the blocks to fake water, the fake water looks less polluted now.
  • Fixed a case where resetting the skill tree granted more skill points than intended.
  • Server-wide quests and personal quests are now sorted in the quest journal.

 

Those are the patch notes up through June 13 for Enshrouded.

This action is irreversible and has a 1 hour cooldown period.

Another Crab’s Treasure Update Patch Notes June 12

Posted on by Michelle Pereira

A compilation of the last few patches for Another Crab’s Treasure, which released on April 25, 2024.

The complete patch notes are below, in descending order, from latest to oldest:

 

UPDATED June 13

 

 

Minor Patch 1.0.103.3 June 12

YOU CAN SCROLL THE MAP NOW YOU'RE WELCOME

PATCH V1.0.103.3 HAS BEEN PUSHED TO STEAM!
Most important change: we caved to audience pressure and you can scroll around on the Location tab now! View all the pretty art! Go nuts!

 

Patch Notes:

 

MAP CONTROLS!!!

  • You can now move and zoom the map on the Location menu. Look at all the pretty art, go nuts!!!

 

FIXES

  • Fixed multiple SFX and voice lines in Voltai's fight being played silently
  • Fixed multiple instances of NPCs persisting in a spot after having moved on in the story
  • Improvements to camera collision, especially when using Dispatch
  • Removed some fun visuals from the Felix Cube, as it would occasionally cause weird player physics interactions. Sad.
  • You can no longer use Self Repair to restore Shell Health reduced from self-inflicted damage such as Munch and Twinkle.
  • Removed access to Assist Settings from Title, as assist settings are saved specifically to individual save files.
  • Game can no longer be paused during the credits (esc key will skip them normally). This eliminates a bug where killing Kril via the pause menu during the credits could result in weird behavior.

 

SAVE STABILITY

  • Improved the save backup system, increasing the scenarios in which it'll replace an unusable file with a backup if available.
  • Eliminated a very rare scenario where a save file could show up as corrupt in the main menu despite being technically playable.

 

BOSS FIXES

  • Fixed a ghost hitbox on a colossal late-game boss.

 

LEVEL FIXES

  • Small geometry updates to Expired Grove, Unfathom, and Bleached City
  • Fix geometry in Scuttleport that could lead to the player getting stuck
  • Fixed a content skip in Expired Grove that was a little too easy (don't believe it was useful for speedrunners, don't kill us!)
  • Removed floating props in Slacktide

 

LOCALIZATION

  • Updated translations for "Lv" across various languages
  • Updated description of Rubber Band to reflect that it doesn't make you fully immune to electricity damage anymore.
  • Updated credits.

 

BALANCE

  • Stowaway Weight on Sea Cucumber Reduced from 6 to 5
  • A certain late-game tentacled boss's HP increased by ~14%

 

 

Minor Patch v1.0.102.5 May 23

Got a fresh new patch for you!
Most important thing here is some save file safety fixes! We'll occasionally get reports of save files being corrupted for one reason or another. Some of these we're working to fix, and others are much less preventable, due to hardware crashes and such. So we figured a good place to start is to add a backup system.
If you ever need to access your backup file for some reason, it can be found in the same folder as your save file - but the game should load it automatically if something goes wrong with your main save.

 

GENERAL

  •  Added a save backup system that should help stem the tide (haha) of people losing progress due to save corruption. Ideally in a worst case scenario, folks will only lose one save point's worth of progress instead of ruining their entire file.
  •  Fixed an issue where having no readable files in your save list would show "new game" button even if some of them existed, but were corrupt

 

COMBAT

  • Fixed an issue where a certain colossal lategame enemy would not release you from a grab properly
  • You can now always use Spearfishing on said colossal enemy. It used to be only when they were in a specific animation, but this was unclear to players.
  • Fixed an issue where your hammer could attack as if it was the standard fork after a cutscene.
  • Fixed an issue where enemies could hit your dropped shell to hurt you. This was especially prevalent in the final boss fight.

 

LEVEL FIXES

  • Improved collision in Roland's arena for clipping issues
  • Improved collision in the endgame sequence

 

 

Emergency Patch v1.0.102.4a May 17

Hey gamers! Nick, who normally makes the update thumbnails, is out of the office today. Could you tell?
We just located a bug that's urgent enough to skip the normal Beta process, so I'm uploading the fix here as an emergency patch.
  • 🔥 Fixed an issue where upon loading in, your location would very frequently be reverted to the previous Moon Snail Shell, even if you saved & quit somewhere else. This was particularly messing up people's progress in locations where Moon Snail Shells were few and far between, such as The Unfathom.

 

That's literally it! Hope you enjoy!
Note that this is not the total extent of our save issues - this issue would exclusively affect the player's position, and not damage their progress in any other way such as reverting any killed bosses. We continue to hunt down other issues related to save files, and the community on Discord has been extremely valuable so far in this process. Thank you for your patience!

 

 

Hotfix v1.0.102.4 May 16

New patch coming in hot! Thanks as always to our beta branch players for testing this in advance!
Our biggest priority right now is investigating the save file corruption happening to a small percentage of players. It's not going to be easy, but we're fast-tracking some features that will hopefully get us better information from user error reports and minimize the damage, even if finding the real source of the issue takes longer.

 

GENERAL

  • Better error reporting for save file issues to help us track it down
  • Unique Broadsword Rangoon no longer respawns in Expired Grove
  • Fixed Hermit Mimic acting strangely in Open Ocean
  • Fixed an issue where getting your hammer destroyed would also cause your DEF stat to not respect your currently worn shell.
  • Fixed an issue where being electrocuted while rolling did not stop the roll
  • "Another Chance" now properly grants invincibility to let you survive multi-hit grabs that you revived during
  • Prevented "windbox" hitboxes such as the Frogfish vacuum attack from affecting the player while climbing
  • Fixed an issue where getting grabbed while climbing would disrupt the grabber's physics
  • Fixed an issue where Flotsam Vale's Inkerton could be interacted with prior to ambushing you.
  • Fixed an issue where hitting an enemy would cause the game to get softlocked and spawn the hit vfx particle every frame in very rare cases.

 

OPTIONS

  • Added 16:9 resolutions to the Resolutions list for those with ultrawide monitors who wish to play at standard resolution

 

ABILITIES

  • Mantis Punch teleport should behave more consistently

 

BOSS FIXES

  • Fixed a bug where Magista could hit you with a ghost hitbox after she's done her spin attack
  • Pagurus can no longer be fished while he's burrowing away.

 

LEVEL FIXES

  • Fixed grapple point in Scuttleport facilities
  • Updated Border colliders in New Carcinia
  • Removed a problematic urchin in Slacktide
  • Updated Level Border Collision in Flotsam Vale
  • Geometry collision updates in Unfathom to prevent softlock issues
  • Improved collision in Voltai's Arena to reduce cases in which Kril phases through it

 

LOCALIZATION

  • Fixed a mis-typed italics tag present in all languages except English
  • Improved a variety of Russian translations including a misgendered lobster in Slacktide

 

BALANCE

  • Stowaway Weight on Sea Cucumber Reduced from 6 to 5
  • A certain late-game tentacled boss's HP increased by ~14%

 

QUALITY OF LIFE

  • Highlighted the text that tells you that you actually need two Old World Whorls to upgrade your charges after the first time.

 

 

Minor Patch v1.0.102.3 May 10

Another patch is live! Thank you to our beta branch players for helping us test these changes :)

 

IMPORTANT FIXES

  • We fixed the cursed issue with the blue pufferfish. You can kill blue pufferfish to your heart's content.
  • We updated our audio plugins to hopefully fix an issue where some users had no audio whatsoever.
  • We've gotten many reports of the game failing to save progress, but are still unable to reproduce the issue -- so now after you save, the game will check whether the save worked. If it didn't, it will display an angry message and boot you back to the Title screen. PLEASE show us if you encounter this and send us your log file. - Instructions for how to do so are in the FAQ channel in discord.
  • We have a possible fix to the issue where the game would give you Umami Crystals for free upon reloading the game. Let us know whether you're still experiencing this or not.
  • Added an option for "FPS Limit" in the settings for users reporting high GPU usage

  • Inadvertently fixed an issue where a Decoy could be placed on umami replenishers to infinitely restore umami
  • Fixed an issue where spinny part of the Felix Cube shell could become offset
  • Fixed an issue where smokescreen caused Pagurus to teleport
  • Fixed an issue where Heikea's camera clips thru the floor

  • Fixed a bug where Kril would take damage from enemies hitting a Decoy
  • Added a 1 second buffer after swapping your hammer before you can block to prevent soft locks happening by doing it too fast.
  • Fixed an issue where the Fortify effect would last forever even after the visual expired
  • Added an extended floor only firth collides with so he doesn't fall off the sides
  • Fixed a small issue where killing a boss without aggroing them (gun) would make their dead icon never show up on the Map
  • Wad of Gum no longer triggers on attacks that deal no damage
  • Fixed an issue where hammer dash would yeet you
  • Prevented a soft lock at the end of the game where Kril's shell could go out

Load-Bearing Towel Finally Removed from Gamer’s Room

Posted on by Nick Coffman

MUNCIE, Ind. – Local gamer Samuel Teskey is getting a fresh start in life after the crusty towel that’s taken up a corner of his bedroom was finally removed earlier this week.

Teskey’s mother, Janey Teskey, confirmed the removal of the towel over a gossipy cup of coffee with her ladies that best friend Marie Garrett then posted about to Facebook.

“I have been looking for that towel since New Year’s Day. It’s part of a set and Samuel knows he’s not supposed to just run off with it,” Janey lamented as she stirred sugar into her fourth cup of coffee. “I don’t condone him using the towels to clean up his sweaty gaming sessions, but if he is going to do that, he needs to not do it with the good towels. We have specific towels for that kind of mess.”

As the gossip session lingered on, Janey voiced concerns about her adult son and his gaming addiction.

“I just don’t know where he got his addictive personality,” Janey wondered after ordering another cup of coffee. “We raised him to be better than that. He should be out meeting other people his age and giving me grandkids. Not holed up in his room sweating through another match of Call of Halo and crusting up my good towels.”

Moved to tears by her son’s crusty towel antics, Janey was on the verge of giving up when nosey neighbor, Annie Wellington, chimed in with advice.

“You have to hide your towels,” the well-to-do Wellington said while sipping her $10 latte. “My son, Timothy, was also wiping his gamer sweat on our good towels. It almost drove me and my husband to divorce. But on a hunch, we hid the towels. All of them. The good, the bad, the rags. We don’t know what he’s wiping up with now, but we don’t care. Our towels are safe and uncrusty.”

The Facebook post ended with Marie bragging about how her non-gamer son has clean towels and a life.

“Upon hearing Janey and the others relay their towel horror stories I’m forever grateful to my boy Kyle. He’s not a gamer, just the occasional Nintendo and his towels have never been crusty and he’s on track for a good career and normal life. I pray for my gal pals and their boys.”

At press time, Janey hid her towels in her backyard while her son grunted through another sweaty gaming session.
