Unreal Engine Wicked Island [v0.8.5.9] [RawDarkness]

[formasual]

Yeah, I was worried we'd lose the option to have multiple manual saves, so it's a relief if those stay around. The game in its current state needs you to keep multiple manual saves since they can break in various ways.

Kinda yea, but I see the issues primarily with just the quicksaves. They protect you from losing shit up to a point, but they can also cause the problems. I delete them before I start playing every time and I haven't had any save issues since. My suggestion to anyone would be to never use them unless you have no other choice. This means don't choose "Continue" at the main menu because that will load the last quickaave since it has the latest time stamp on it.

• Brand new dungeon: Maiden’s Last Rest, designed by the team at Project Werewulf.

I am kind of confused about this part of the patch notes.
There is already a Dungeon called Maiden's Last Rest. I wonder if the dungeon got reworked or updated/tweaked with new monsters or map layout.

For anyone wondering where that is at, the fast travel marker on the lower left is for the Wildling camp. It is kind of hidden on the backside of the hill where the demon located.

After my griping about 'flat spaces' in this game, I used the sole flat area I have found ... for this stupidity:

Behold: The Temple Of the Newbie


A Temple constructed above the Sacred Sanctuary of the First Newbie. From their humble beginnings, they forged a path of glory and victory, a shining example for all that would follow in her footsteps, in an unforgiving land filled with cursed creations.

All are welcome to admire and learn of the Holy Rainments and Divine tools gifted to the First Newbie, by the Lord of the Seas.
The Vestments, hewn from the very fiber of the world itself.
The sacred tools crafted from the bounty of the world.
The Divine Staff of Piercing, crafted of the staunchest heartwood and blessed by the Gods themselves.
The Parchment of Knowledge. Empowering those that read of that knowledge the ability to bend the bounty of these lands to their will.


Faithful or Faithless. All are welcome in this sacred place.
Rest easy under the protection of the spiritual power of the First Newbie and learn from the wonders they forged and wielded to hold the evil of these lands at bay.

Good catch. I seen that and thought it sounded like the that one, but I never remember to check when I'm ingame. I've seen other things in previous changelogs that were already in the game, but this one really points out that its new. I'm wondering if there is a different one that really is new, but the names got mixed up or something. It would be good to get another dungeon, but it would also be good to put more shit in the ones that are mostly empty if not completely empty in the map right now.

An excellent use of the only flat land you could find. Looks very nice. Now, how is that sky temple going so far?

It is woefully bereft of believers and has had but a single visitor.
It is a shameful and stark reminder of the harsh nature of these wild lands.

The sole visitor is a dark visage to behold and an aura of ill intent, while they skulk about in the local forestry.
I might be mistaken but I believe that I saw them displaying a sweet confection to any that would pass near and speak of some strange location called a 'candy van'.

I am loathe to engage in violence with them, while their appearance is one of dark intent, they have not inflicted any violence upon any that tread near them.

I already have multiple spawns of NPCs and monsters all over the island. The single Minotaur outside the dark iron ore caves are now 3 in number, there are a few places where I have 4 or 5 wereboars or regular bears just clustered up and there are now 2 of that emo edgelord in all black (the one bitching about Isabel)

I had to start a new character due to too many spawns that grew so big they stopped spawning at all. My new(er) character tried to be more careful, but there are now some troll/ogre hut locations that have around 20 so I tend to stay away in fear of a game crash. I haven't figure out how to reset the mobs without resetting my buildings.

So it seems a lot of people in discord are having many issues with this new build. Sounds familiar, I know. Might wait for a hotfix before getting any hopes up for a hero to provide a link. This last revision took much longer than expected tho so may be stuck with it regardless. I'm kinda eager to see the new minotaur animations.

I kinda like consistancy of updates for this game. I also like too see that dev invite ppl for some stuff, like animation - coding - lvl design, on regular basis. Not an absolute solo, it's look promising.

I'm told that this dungeon is completely different now. That would explain the "brand new" appellation. It seems the dev actually contracts third party studios for certain things within the game. Now if he could just hire an exterminator...

So true.

Well if it is a 3rd party specifically focused on rebuilding that dungeon, I hope that it will be something better than the bog standard, 3 hallways and a set of stairs.

Absolutely agree and from what I understand that design wasn't intended to be permanent but rather it was a placeholder. Outside of contractual help its just two guys who created all of it initially which really does seem quite impressive. And I think there are three people in discord who work on fleshing out the bugs in beta builds, but they are just willing players probably with jobs as well. But as far as the new dungeon is concerned, yea its completely different.

Here's what one of the beta testers said about it.

"It was completely changed.... a lot of the original dungeons had a bit of a generic cookie cutter feel between them and all similar to the 1 dungeon in the Demo, the differences are starkly apparent when you re-visit it again. I believe the original dungeon was intended as only a placeholder dungeon until the actual dungeon was completed and implemented."
