BETA, PATCH-NOTES

05/17/23 | Beta Patch Notes - Tasks, Emblems, and Blood Money

Hey there, everyone! As we continue to play through the server and experiment with the different rates, as well as receive feedback throughout the beta phase, we’ve come to understand that some of the rates need adjustments! With this patch, we’re looking to make things feel a little more balanced for the game, as well as push through some changes to the website for clarity’s sake and overall just improve the look of the hiscores. We’re quite excited to share this with you all (most specifically our iron man testees; it’s about time you got some recognition)!

Thanks!

      • All types of bones.
      • All types of hides.
      • All cooked food.
      • All metal bars.
      • All hunter trap loot.
      • All bird nests (whether empty or filled).

Fixed

  • “All” clue scroll counter will now log to hiscores correctly.
  • The hiscores now properly shows the voting category.
  • Fixed an issue that caused hiscores rows to get out of order when there are multiple entries for the same user. Example: User starts the game in hard mode, but switches to easy causing them to have two separate hiscores entries.
