Latest patch ROBBED ME!

from SorcererKing Forums

So, after the latest patch, I was robbed.  I'm assuming it's those darn bandits everywhere but all the chests in the kingdom, outside of the ones around my starting area are gone, or at least, all but a dire few are gone.

Not only that, but I got event notice about people not liking the Sorcerer King as much and -1 to all Sorcerer King factions and then all of the factions declared war on me.  HUH?  They don't like the sorcerer king... so they kill me?  Don't they KNOW I'm try to stop him?

Also, is there supposed to be some Adventurer level research?  I got a town or inn quest that sent me to a location and the location said I wasn't high enough and to research Adventure leve or some such.  Broken or not implemented?

Also, the SK seems much more aggressive on Normal now.  Before I had enough time to build a few cities and send out my scouts to find him... now, if I'm not actively trying to find him from the beginning I run out of time.

Seems like there are less things that stop the doomsday timer.

Also, speaking of polish, go through all of the monsters and player soldiers and make sure the hurt/dying sound match the actual character... I can't tell you how annoying it is to kill a bandit and have them howl like a dog...

IMPORTANT - Since the last update there are 1000% more instances where the map puts me on an island or isolated part of the map with no way to get to the SK.  This is EXTREMELY annoying.

IS there even a summon boat spell anymore?  I've NEVER gotten it as an option to research.

PLEASE fix this.

Just started a new game and did nothing but make scouts and send them out... the treasure chests are gone!

Ok, just going to focus on the Treasure Chest issue for a second...

What I'm seeing is around 4-6 chests around your starting city, but once you start exploring chests become EXTREMELY rare (unhiding the map shows only 2-4 other goodie huts in the world).

Is this what you're experiencing as well?

^ Yes, I am

Yeah, rolling back a few builds it looks like this bug has existed for a while: the player gets tons of goodie huts around their starting location, and things get VERY sparse outside their territory.

We'll prioritize it, but it's not a showstopper for 5.2

I can see where a -1 to 0 would cause an overflow "Ally with the SK" bug. Adding it to our list.

Should be fixed...you saw this in 5.2?

Yeah, it should start popping up after researching 1 or 2 other spells. Is anyone else not seeing it?

That's what I'm seeing... VERY disappointing, since it makes crafting MUCH more difficult without a source of crafting materials early in the game.

It should be.... it decimates the crafting ability, let alone the enchanting.

I agree that it's something to properly balance, but you get so much stuff from enemy drops / enemy locations / quests / etc. that it's certainly not game-breaking.  Just makes scouts less useful :)

It does hurt crafting quite a bit. Im hardly able to craft all that much...

Sadly... you are assuming the game is working.  It is not.  It is broken 1 out of 2 games where I am stuck on an isolated part of the continent with no way of exploring the rest of the place.  You can only make so many raise or lower lands before you run out of supplies.

 

THERE IS NO SUMMON BOAT!  NEVER... EVER... EVER!  I've played maybe 20 games since the last patch and it has NEVER, EVER, EVER come up.  I watch VERY carefully now and NO summon boat.

I feel like Gilligan.
