This might explain why a random discord account pm’d me trying to get me to do some duping scam, I don’t know what.

Yep I think I’ve been banned for duping that mana pot (joking lol) I’m now having another error, after restarting my game again I get this weird message

Have they fixed the bug where, if you’re hovering your cursor on your character while you got sent to the realm, the character display doesn’t go away?

I thought the game was talking in first person for a moment there, than I realized it was just the word ‘will’ cut off

I really hope that it doesn’t happen to me because I haven’t taken my character slot out of gift chests yet…

I lost everything except for the current free MotMG Pack. Years of backpacks, valentines, dyes, etc. I’ll be pretty pissed if this doesn’t get fixed.

The vault looks awful. I suggest making it small and sort of hut-like, or feel more like home than some stone tile floor empty ballroom sized thing. Something more like Link’s house from a link to the past in terms of aesthetics would be cool. Either way I think shrinking it all down would help a lot as well. Here is a very very rough sketch, but I suggest changing the overall aesthetics to be more pleasing for a small room.

I know this hasn’t been released yet, but F.E.R.A.L. doesn’t seem to have any indication of where it’s aiming its laser beam attack. (basing this on Floflorian’s vid). If it aims at the nearest person there would be no way to tell where the laser is going to hit if several people are moving erratically.
I suppose here’s a little ‘weak beam’ before it actually shoots… but it doesn’t seem to last that long.

My thoughts on this patch:
Unified Vault
It’s really good. I feel like I have a lot more space in my vault than I used to, even though literally the amount of space stayed the same. Just not having to hunt down where the empty space is actually makes it feel like there’s so much space (at least for now, before I end up filling up all that space and feeling low on vault space again).
The search feature is phenomenal and beyond what I had expected honestly. It just works and is one of the biggest QoL features in my opinion to be added to the game.
I don’t really find the filters too useful. Sorting by feed power I find very useful, but I couldn’t find much use of the other ones at the moment. I feel it would be useful to have sorting by type sort a bit further, (eg sort weapons by weapon type), because it’s still a hassle to look for the sword I was looking for in a sea of dbows and cbows and I’ll probably just try a bunch of search terms (even if I forgot the name of the sword I’d still try search) to find it instead. Additionally, some items don’t seem to end up in filter categories you’d think they’d be in (I can’t remember which exactly, but it was something like an ST shard or char slot/vault coupon not showing up in the tokens filter even though you’d think it’d show up there). Might have gotten the exact details incorrect, but there was definitely something not showing up in one of the filters when common sense for me as a player dictates it should have been there.
Maybe I’ll find more use cases for the filters in the future, but as of right now, I’m happy to just use the search feature, and to use that “drop item into box to put it into vault” feature which is also phenomenal, I don’t have to look for an empty space to put stuff away any more.
Also there are bugs but I assume those have already been reported like a billion times by now.
Overall thoughts are: this is great, do more updates like this.
Premium Vault (why isn’t this called Potion Vault or something)
I filled it in like 5 seconds moving my life pots into it. I’m poor atm so 16 potion vault slots for me it is, but it’s definitely a nice QoL deal for players. I can’t complain about effectively 2 free vault slots for me since now that 16 life isn’t clogging up my vault.
Not really any comment on the greater pots thing, I guess it makes greater pots even more of a hassle to deal with (at least for me); I at least pick up regular pots because I can consolidate them into greater pots that remain in my gift chests through tinkerer, but I can do nothing with greater pots as my characters are currently all maxed and so it makes most sense for me to stockpile pots for re-maxing in my gift chests. I already didn’t really do anything with greater pots (only kept glife in vault) so this doesn’t change anything for me.
New XP Distribution
Basically my thoughts for the new XP values for enemies are that they’re good but there’s some worry. Increasing the XP values in the Oryx’s Castle loop is great, and I think increasing the XP values for dungeons where you can’t really “speedrun” them much (like fungal/crystal, basically needing to put in some minimal effort or commitment) works out as well.
My worry comes from some of the other dungeons that have had XP values adjusted. A lot of these dungeons are run in nexus/discord chains, and from these numbers I really don’t think running in the realm will compare to those nexus/discord chains at all. You can just run so many in a short span of time in a chain. I’d really like mass chaining to be de-incentivized. One very questionable choice I can point out is upping Esben’s XP given. The dungeon itself is already notable for giving a good amount of fame… I really don’t think it’s necessary to make Esben give more XP than O1 itself.
Admittingly, this is just a more competitive side of mine speaking that would prefer to build up the fame on my characters via actually playing the game rather than just having my brain rot away in the 425th ice cave of the day, and so it’s arguably a minor issue if at all since objectively it just means people can build up their pets easier since they get more fame, and that’s just a lot nicer for all players.
edit: after some thought, I guess also it’d be nice to encourage people to play more in the realm rather than nexus pops for the health of the game, and unfortunately blanket changes to a dungeon as a whole always end up buffing nexus pops a lot more than they buff running it in the realm. So that’s one genuine downside affecting the whole game - again more incentive for nexus pops.
Passive XP bonus is another great change, it just feels so much more rewarding to get that fame now rather than “whenever you die”, especially for people chasing the next star rank who maybe don’t want to kill off their character as soon as possible. Just wish the Well Equipped fame bonus didn’t stick around on the summary since it doesn’t apply any more, that’s rather nastily misleading.
Lastly, making those pet/character skins droppable is great. I was a big fan of the new pet skins from the reworked dungeons, and I'm a big fan of this change. It's just more fun for players all around.
