still cant upgrade my pet yard past common!

It’s already unlocked for Uncommon, which is why you can’t upgrade it.

Added an error popup when trying to upgrade past the set limit

It’s nothing scary, i could have just changed my pet’s skin at best.

Actually it is quite advantageous and this bug was here last session too (feed your pet, and you get your legacy fame). If you have a pet w/ good abilities, you don’t need to find another egg of the same family to fuse; simply change family of some random pet in your pet yard using your main fame.

I hope in the future there’s a quest for t5 abilities.

Also I got trolled by the CC armor at a hermit.

I like the challenger mode so far, but there’s one thing I don’t like;

How many characters will I be able to create each Challenger season?

A: With each season, you will be able to create a set number of characters. That number will be determined by us and conveyed to the community via the Challenger Rules & Explanation. Be wise with your character choice, because creating and then deleting still subtracts from your total characters allowed.PT A: For today’s PT session, there will be a limit of 5 characters total that you can create.

I was hoping for a game mode I could continually play when I want to, limiting the amount you can play challenger kinda ruins it for me

I know there needs to be something to keep the leaderboard for the top players, so maybe allow us to continue playing in challenger after we’ve run out of characters but characters we make after the limit don’t count toward the leaderboard, this’ll allow people that like the mode to keep playing it without getting barred from it due to a death limit.

What items will be available to purchase on Challenger?

A: Keys, Eggs, Dyes, Backpack, Loot Boosters, Pet Skins, and other Consumables.

It’s ruined. Another USS gameplay.

What items will be available to purchase on Challenger?

A: Keys, Eggs, Dyes, Backpack, Loot Boosters, Pet Skins, and other Consumables.

Do I get to keep other items that I purchased on Challenger?

A: All progress made in Challenger Mode, including purchased or gained items, will not carry over between seasons, with the sole exception of unlocked character slots and vault chests.

Is this real money purchasing? microtransactions really need to be completely seperate from challenger mode, that defeats the purpose of putting everyone on an even ground, rich people can just buy their eggs and start off with a direct advantage compared to other players.

Minor detail:

The FP rewards should be reworked based on the difficulty of the dungeon.

E.g. 3 sprite world marks = 500 FP, 3 UDL marks = fries (250? i forgot), 3 snake marks = soda (150 FP) etc.

I’ll make this post my main feedback post and edit it as needed.

• I was assuming the legacy/challenger fame problems would be fixed, but apparently they are still there. This still affects upgrading the pet yard from what I’ve seen (draws from legacy fame instead) and must be fixed before this gets to prod because it makes no sense. Make it properly cost 0 fame.

• The egg change (regarding purchasing eggs in Nexus) is definitely an improvement, I like it.

• I saw a screenshot of someone getting the treasure map that opens TCave upon reaching level 20 on ninja, on challenger. That should probably be patched out.

Overall, still as fun, I personally think once any issues I’ve mentioned are fixed then it’s absolutely good to go on prod (disclaimer: still on a 0/8 atm).

[Devals]

Minor detail, why not have the pet yard fully upgraded from the start?

[Seelpit]

Wasn’t that already the case, or can you indeed not hatch uncommons?

I really hope that challenger will reignite that spark in ROTMG again for people, even if I really doubt it. I’m just praying that unity comes out before ROTMG dies.

• Oryx should now distribute fame around itself instead of the killer

Uhhh why not fix the issue for all enemies? The issue applies for tomb bosses, thessal, etc.

[Xaklor]

I’m guessing kidd didn’t actually get that to happen in the way you would think. instead, I would assume he set up some backwards way doing that like having O2’s fame distributed by a helper object that gets spawned upon his death and then kills itself to distribute fame. if that’s the case, then it’ll be sent to whoever’s closest and then distributed like normal. adding a workaround like that for every single enemy (or even just all the bosses) would be a massive undertaking and would make everything even sloppier on the backend then it is already. actually getting fame/xp to distribute in a way that makes sense is a more fundamental issue that can’t be addressed atm afaik.

[Spuddeth]

I expect challenger mode will be ruined once the clients get released and the hackers start rushing dungeons and the legit players can’t get near events…

Got to 800 Fame 6/8 this time around not going to be able to participate in the rest of it as I’m not going to be home for the rest of the weekend but I once again enjoy myself basically all the same bugs are still there which is a bit annoying

I hope greater potions are thing that stick with Seasons as it feels much more rewarding it’s still a grind but it doesn’t become a tedious grind

That’s all for now good luck on the leaderboards

This is actually such a great thing, it’s likely to do with the fact we’re so used to maxing taking up a certain amount of time that anything else (especially ~1/2 less time) feels great. Rumour has it it’s coming to prod real soon, hope to see everyone there owo

Also nice to see some familiar names on the leaderboards, some Japanese players this time and old names I haven’t seen in a while ;D
