Stronghold

[Keyal_[SVK]]

Hi, atm im level 12. For my next Quest i need to go to Strongold but its unavailable for me (in grey clouds). What should i do? Or it is unlocked at specific level?

[WinuX]

Do you have the bridge built that leads to that part of the island? If I remember correctly that removes the clouds.

[Keyal_[SVK]]

Thanks, it worked. Anyways i think im done with this game. I think there is no point why i should continue with doing the same tings overn and over again when there arent even fixed achievements.

[WinuX]

Check back after some time to see if they have been fixed.

Yeah maybe i will check later but i dont really trust these russian devs.

the achievements should working... but u have to reach "Badge LvL-5" in the game to unlock the steam achievements... alot people talk good about the normal games, this makes it more sad that this free build is for money making only...

ihm yes they can be good but i see how they are acting now. There was a 100mb update but we are not even worth to get patch notes or at least a single official post. It seems that only stupid redirrect buttons to their site were added. There is only one post from them and its about money issue. Even WinuX is way more active than them and hes not a dev

Because I am frustrated with the same things others are here, and am trying to help, if I can.

They are from Ukraine, not Russia.

Not that much difference imo. I bet it's easier to find russian-speaker in Ukraine, than ukrainian. Like, 1 to 5 or so ;D.

most of the achievements are already triggering for me.
Also some quests seems like stuck
1) I should fine a flask in cloud city, but cloud city requires dragon figurine, that is nowhere to be found (no hint, not in "rewards" list of other locations), but if you keep playing, you will find the figurine eventually
2) 5 fragments of the lost documents, the same story, but you will find them all five just when you keep trying (even without official quest hints)

There are more examples. Fact is, that I got like 25% of achievements, so at least those are working.

In my opinion, the "trick" (or bug) is in the details, that each location rewards more items on higher mastery level. So if specific qeust item can be found in location X, but that location is on low mastery level, the game seems like "stuck" without any leads or hints. Increasing the mastery level of the locations will show on each level-up wider set of rewards, and eventually also offer the critical, missing item.

[WinuX]

Sounds good, do you get progress with the location searches as well, beyond 50/75? Please keep us posted about what achievements are working. Also, have you restarted the game since the 100MB update?

[Karol13]

after the 100MB patch, with my old "save" the progress of locations (50/75) was not fixed. I started over and am now awaiting to reach max mastery at any location. Will update soon.

Reached 50/75 on Forest Cabin in new playthrough.
Completed Forest Cabin one extra time, and the in-game achievements still were stuck at 50/75. Now I will double check if the logical counter works "behind" the interface (if the game actually counts progress, although not showing it) and will now complete the Forest Cabin 24 times to logically reach 75 and see if anything happens.

EDIT: I completed Forest Cabin location at least 25 more times (after 50/75) and nothing. So it seems, like the games (also Steam achievements) stop counting location competions, as soon mastery level is achieved) and it was not fixed in the latest patch :(

[WinuX]

Thanks for checking, could you post this somewhere for the devs? Maybe on the news about the update.

[Karol13]

the 2nd patch just installed on my system.
Although in the patch notes is nothing about this specific bug, I will double check and post it somewhere more visible for devs

EDIT: interesting, first change after I launched the game I see: the achievement progress of Forest Cabin (Forrester) is now 50/50 instead 50/75... looks promising (as this part of the game was "touched")

EDIT 2: Sadly, after I completed Forest Cabin one more time, the progress was still 50/50.
Will try other location, where I have not reached 50 yet.

EDIT 3: Local Fellow (Old Town progress bar) correctly worked.
Started at 41/50 , after 9 clearances I got next level (3rd - in the game) and the progress changed to 50/100)
I wonder if there is other way to reset my Forrester achievement, then deleting my save data.

BAD NEWS: Local Fellow stopped working after 50/100 ... completed it once more time, but the progress was still stuck at 50/100 ... probable same problem, just different look :(

GOOD NEWS: I recon that some items in all locations have different / NEW hiding spots (more exciting :D )
