THAT is the best change of the whole update <3

Would you recommend a restart of the game for closed beta players?

So many hidden changes as well.

Shops now have a currency for example.

[Yoshua]

They listed the shops showing currency available in the notes. I am also wondering if I should start over.... Currently farther than I have gotten before.... was contemplating not starting over but it looks like with these changes I would be farther ahead than I am now when I get back here if I start over.... but jesus, I JUST got the *......won't post spoilers.......*

This one seems bugged, I got this mail even after I got to pick up 3-4 gifts.

[zede05]

Haha, that's a bad bug, will fix it later.

I can confirm this. I picked up 4 items and got the Mail from Gale about me not getting any gifts.


Is the Phyllis skill reset a one time thing or can you reset unlimited times?

[zede05]

Unlimited, just put up the money. :)

I want to report a minor quest bug.

It happened to me when having [The Farmer] quest from Emily asking for 3 [Small Planter Box] and have them in inventory, then got invited to pick watermelons by Emily from mail.

After I arrived at Emily's ranch, the cutscene for picking watermelons will be triggered and the character will talk to her, then I have to pick 4 watermelons, after that I have to interact with Emily using [E] but the 3[Small Planter Box] are taken without completing [The Farmer] quest, probably because the watermelon invitation quest is in process.

It's just a minor bug and nothing gamebreaking but it's there.


Look at lower left, the small planter box is -3

and look at the quest list, The Farmer quest isn't completed

With regards to entrance fees to the abandoned ruin, something I'd suggest is:

1) Check the balance of the discount. If it's 200 per week, but the first run is 80, you're saving around 60%, so that may need a rebalance.

2) As a possible suggestion, because we might not need to enter the ruin multiple times in a week, maybe have it that you can buy passes for different lengths of time either at the entrance (maybe have someone stationed there?) or the guild, say day pass (previous), week pass (current), month pass, year pass and lifetime pass, each obviously getting more expensive, but each cheaper than the next tier down for the same time period so say day passes are 40 each, week passes are 200, then month at 500, year 1500 and lifetime at 5000 possibly?

3) I'd also suggest if you add a store to the Civil Corps, maybe allow them to sell passes but said passes only start the next time you go into the ruin as opposed to paying at the entrance only.

4) Add a tracker/ticker to mark how long you've got on a ruin pass so you know when it's going to run out and can be a bit more prepared to spend.

Two bugs I noticed:

1. The watermelon event with Emily seems to be broken. When I approach her, she says something to me about picking watermelons and I accept the quest, but when I go to pick the watermelons, no prompt appears. I tried talking to Emily instead to see if it triggered the prompt. The 'interact' prompt appears to talk to her, but pressing it does nothing and I still couldn't pick the melons with her.

2.For the 'Build the Portia Bridge' mission, second phase, building the frame (and maybe the tower, I don't know), placing materials doesn't result in a subtraction from your stack. Since I couldn't actually tell if I had placed anything yet as the whole thing is invisible, I ended up removing what had been placed from the frame and then trying to put it back down. I ended up with more ironwood planks than I had before I attempted to build anything.
