[wolfwingtube]

is there some rick to gtting more then 1-3 an hour other then potions? You need to get 3 an like 3.5 or so an hour fo rthe entire thing to complete his challenge.

they already did, the issue isn't visual, it's that math wise it's enarly impossible to get enough.

They only ANNOUNCED that they fixed the glitch, but in reality it still remains unfixed.

It's after running Presto through ~1k areas. The number of components is more or less correct, the problem is that the cap is still displayed as 3200+, and collected pieces are not registered for the achievement. Restarting the game does not change anything.

I suspect that CNE updated the changelog, but forgot to roll out the fix on Steam.

I also believe in fairies, I do, I do! *Clap clap clap*

But no, they haven't fixed crap, they just thought they did, and released a "coldfix" without even testing it properly. It's only disappointing if you were expecting CNE to do things right.

IF you can make a fast enough party (I can't) it should be doable now, in theory it was doable before but I think only if you had a really levelled fast core and the right champions.
Number required was reduced to 200.

Fairly sure I won't do it in the available time but it would barely be in reach now (if I did nothing else, burned all my speed potions etc)

FWIW. Steam version does appears broken. My cap was at 2020 when I started, it's still at 2020 now.

The cap changes every day - that most likely means when the new tasks appear (if you hover over the Time Gates icon while in an adventure you'll see how long until it changes.) Last change was four hours ago, where it may have changed from 2000 to 2020 - but I wasn't really paying attention to the game at that time.

Watch my lips :)

It was 2020 when I unlocked Presto yesterday. It's supposed to be locked to when Presto was released NOT when Presto was unlocked and it's still stuck at 2020 today.

And Presto's target in the box is still x/1000 (31 which is slowly increasing). I understand the target was cut from 1000 to 200. So the Steam version hasn't been updated yet.

He also wasn't updating in background for me, unsure whether he's supposed to or not but not is going to severely limit his usefulness.

I see. So it's just the usual Bugged Champions of the Glitched Realms at work, then.

By default, anything that's supposed to be happening in a background party, either happens slower or not at all. And yes, I don't really see him as useful. He shares a bench slot with other champions I'd rather be using, so I hope he has some fire magic available, because he'll be warming that bench for a long time.

He'll be useful to me IF he'll run in background parties - I have a lot of low level modron pieces/currently unusable pieces and less than optimally functional modron cores at present.

Eventually he'd deal with that for me - which would be nice ;). However at the moment the cute widdle gnome in the same slot is far more useful to me, both in terms of total DPS and speed so I'd rather relegate Presto to a background component farming role.

And as you say bugs. I'm actually fairly tolerant of that in games - at least a bug in a game doesn't have the potential to crash the worlds financial system.

The only real annoyance for me is that the changelogs appear to be sucked down from a server rather than being part of the released code so the changelog often says "Yeah, fixedit" but the actual fix is days later. |

Must try and find their bug reporting system ;)

[kab_reg]

The problem is the sheer amount of bugs, which remain unfixed for YEARS.

My first bug report thread crashed CNE forum with "Out of memory" error, and now I run the second one.

Their bug report/help system is here: http://help.idlechampions.com/?page=help

Found it, thanks :).

Update. Game was restarted this morning (My TZ which is well off from US). Restarted again an hour ago (without Steam reporting another update) and Presto is now being sensible and the target for completion is now 45/200.

Go figure :)

Like I said, I don't actually mind the bugs that much, the only annoyance is the discrepancy between the changelog and what the game does now and then.
