Unreal Engine Wicked Island [v0.8.6.1] [RawDarkness]

[CaptainBipto]

Delete the WickedIsland folder in the Appdata\Local folder. Just starting a new game isn't going to cut it (I already tried).

For anyone that is trying out the new version (0.8.6.1) and are having problems with things not working or the game crashing, delete the WickedIsland folder in appdata.
The UI, some game mechanics and some other "things" got changed so just starting over is going to be the way to go. Unless, you know, you like shit randomly crashing on you.
This version does have it's own list of bugs and shit that don't work right, but scrapping the appdata folder will help some.

Animations are still mis-aligned, but it's better than it was.

The changes to armor really sucks, especially with steel armor. Entering the desert will inflict -1 stamina regen ... and then the armor kicks in and 'upgrades' it to -2 energy regen. Ouch. In snow areas, you character freezes for -40 armor and donning their 'cozy, warm' steel armor reduces it to ... cold for -20 armor. Standing inside your home instantly puts you into 'sweaty hot' mode so unless you strip off your armor, your stamina regen is crippled.
No idea what Royal/Legendary is like, I am still leveling up my character (without cheating) to be able to fight drakes and vampires for dark ore and dragon scales.
Getting pregnant is pretty nasty, you can no longer sit down to rest while pregnant. Trimester 3 is rather nasty, it is -60 stamina, -40?armor.

Combat feels a lot tougher. My level nothing n00b, in her trusty bronze armor, blundered into her first pack of wolves ... with a pair of level 30 'ringers' mixed in the bunch. She died.
My slut continues to die, even in steel armor now, since at level 32 she can encounter level 60-ish monsters. Minotaurs hit like a freight train at the moment and I am afraid to see what the vampires and drakes are going to be like. Trying to masturbate 'charm' a drake at level 30-ish was a pain in the ass with the new mechanics.

Breeding stations seem to work, but the animations are a little screwy. Sadly you cannot throw the MC into the breeding post for some baby making action.

NIGHTMARES!!!!! They actually give buttseks XP now, along with some vagoo experience.
Totally makes this entire update worthwhile!

Does anyone know if slaves can be dressed and armed?

Does anyone know if slaves can be dressed and armed?

As far as I know, the answer to your question is: No.

There doesn't seem to be any way to give items to NPCs and I haven't heard anyone mention anything of the kind, so, butt naked slaves it is.

For Game - need to restart at zero again or can one rescue one's save files and place back into appdata\local with any success?

I didn't try backing up save files and moving them to the new folder. There is one little trick I did do: Rename the WickedIsland folder.

It preserves all files and settings, that way you can try copying over save games and not worry about mixing or deleting anything.

I had tried just launching the new version and starting a new game and it kinda worked, but there were things that were just buggy or caused the game to freeze.
I haven't tried using a save file from the older version, so you are on your own if you give it a try. Good luck though if you give it a shot.

So i tried searching but couldn't find an answer, it's now day and i got the message about the night creatures leaving, but they never leave, im stuck in my house because im still too low level to fight them, they're all over the place in the starting area

Run RUN to the water and they will not be able to go in after you. II start at Fisherman's hut area, just outside water ... rush in, move and selectively attack one or two then move to next or go to other side of dock on land and sit down before returning.

 

[Roerdin]

I also cant find a single branch in this game, you'd expect to find them on the ground but its nowhere.
Cant craft axe, cant repair tools, i think this game needs a revamp, kinda ridiculous

Try the wooded areas. Also, you can make branches from wood ( but that's for later, you gotta find branches first.)

 

[Roerdin]

I am not sure I am missing something but from searching, can make babies followers with research station but unless its named something else, not seeing it anywhere for an option.

Also any tips for charcoal spots, swore I passed some but now that needed it can't remember where it is.

Charcoal in the large rock areas everywhere. Bears and werebears usually live there.

 

[Roerdin]

Quick question, can you have sex with humans too?

Wildings ... yes. Can even pop a sprog, but no way to raise it.

 

[Roerdin]

When I masturbate to charm something, a pulsating meter pops up and I don't know how to end it. I'm guessing that it is the " Lewd Luring Minigame** — New masturbation-based scene trigger tied to enemy level. " All the links for help lead to paywall on Subscribestar or Steam.

EDIT: No replies; I figured it out for myself. Just need to mash the space bar repeatedly and they'll come to you. Not really impressed ... MC can just stand there and after a short time mash it again... and again for a new companion. (Also not a fan of mashing to crawl away, even from a group.)

there is also a charcoal spawn near some tall rocks by the ruined village up on the hill near the starting area where some goats spawn, just be careful if you're a lower level because several werewolves spawn in the village as well

i've ran into yet another bug, whenever i seduce Mira it spawns multiple versions of all the Greycott npcs and it doesn't count towards her seduction count so i can't get a slave collar from her...im honestly getting tired of getting game breaking bugs ive had to restart my game several times already with this version...

 

[phantrucdiep]

I have now tried using my save of a 8.6.0 new game that I had started fresh in 8.6.0 and set aside - it seems to work fine from an hour of undemanding just "testing if it crashes" going about. (oddly enough on my laptop this may be the most stable so far, even some tattoos that I had apparently been unsuccessful in character creation in 6.0 w reappear in 6.1)
Have not tried an 8.5.9 yet but will try.

Not sure I like the removal of the Grit points for new challenge system as harder to judge visually.

Shall test the 8.6.0 bugs that I had noticed and stopped (breast deflation on some sex and/or masturbation, bed freezing up (no longer usable), build plan locking up)

ETA
1. so far for me my 8.5.9 to 8.6.0 to 8.6.1 save is working okay
2. masturbation for combat "minigame"... either I totally do not understand it or its not working (or both)

1. Lucky you. Being one of those 'scumbag' pirates, I didn't have access to 8.6.0. It may not make a difference but it is always possible that there was some incremental update on that version that helped 'ease' the way to the current version.

2. When I first tried to use the masturbate function to lure in an enemy on the current version (0.8.6.1), the game locked up. I could see the lust meter moving, but I couldn't do anything to make it stop. Couldn't use escape to end it, couldn't use the X to close the screen. ALT+F4 worked fine though. ... I nuked my settings and saves after that and the game runs fine now.

I am not sure what to think about the masturbate option to capture enemies now either. I understand the basics of it though, press the space bar when the meter is in the white area of the bar. Enemies have a difficulty, which is reflected in how fast the meter rises and falls.
Werewolves move the bar fairly steadily, drakes move the bar pretty damn fast. No idea if the difficulty is just level based or not.

Things I have noticed:

Spoiler: wall of random thoughts

My biggest gripe about the current update is Steel Armor.
Until you can make Royal or Legendary armor, it is your best option, but it is pretty crippling to use anywhere except in snowy areas.
Just standing around inside my home and my character is HOT, which means -1 stamina regen. When you only have 1 Stamina regen, it means you have to run around naked (which is a fine view) or just accept that you will have to sit and rest ... a lot.
Wearing steel armor in the desert is a nightmare. In just a minute or two in the desert area and your character gains the scorching status effect, which is -2 stamina regen. Yeah. You actively lose stamina just walking around, and even resting can't over come the loss.
I know. Use Iron armor. I haven't tried it yet, but with the revamp of combat, you need all the defense you can get and Iron armor just doesn't cut it compared to steel.

No idea if the difficulty is just level based or not.

I believe it is level based. Each time I snag a monster that has that super fast mini game it ends up being really high level. My first run in with drakes they were all over level 100 and I hadn't even gotten to level 20 yet.
Also, I cannot figure out for the life of me why there is so much hate for stamina regen with this dev. Seems many players must feel the same with this hate. Most of the rest of the game is quite easy and just takes time, but stamina regen has always sorta pissed me off. I made a suggestion in the feedback channel on discord to change stamina regen from +1 per second to +1% per second to accommodate the eventual increase of stamina pool. But only one other person agreed. Now this update basically took a shit on stamina regen. I just don't get it...

I was level 30 or so on my first encounter with a drake (75 or so) and it took me quite a few tries, with a lot of blind luck, to sex one of them 3 times for Isabel's quest.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would love to see stamina regen use a percentage, instead of a flat rate. It would add value to things like leather or bronze armor.

But, it would just make the 'end game' even more broken than it already is. I think that might be the crux of the whole issue; the end game. I mean, with legendary armor and a dark steel weapon, the character is pretty godlike.
Adding a ton of stamina regen would just make things worse, since your character would never have to consider resting or using a stamina potion.

It almost feels like the Dev is changing things to try and slow down progression to the end game gear as much as possible. The harvesting nerfs. The stamina nerfs. The boosted combat strength of all enemies.
It just all feels focused on slowing and retarding the players advancement, by making their progress as much of a struggle as they can.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My feelings:
With the current changes to enemy levels, even steel armor feels like cheap crap. It just forced me even further into avoiding everything I could and focus on chasing down the end game gear.

With bronze armor, I was scared to even fight wolves.
With steel armor and great sword, I felt a little better, but I still struggled with pretty much any enemy I encountered. I managed to stumble my way into a single Crystal and upgraded my steel chest plate and it made combat a bit better.
I managed to sneak 3 more and had T3 steel chest and pants and the game felt playable, tough but playable, even the vampires and minotaurs were okay to fight.

Since you can now find drake scales in the special chests in the mazes, I hunted every maze (and demon statue) I could and found enough scales and crystals to make T3 Legendary legs and arms (they need fewer scales). After that point the game felt fine.
Once I had collected enough scales (killing drakes) to make T3 legendary chest and pants, I was on cruise control and just smashing everything.
