Voodoo Dolls broken?

[puritysin]

Anyone else noticing the Voodoo Dolls no longer do anything since the update on the 11th? I really miss them doing the funny stuff they use to do in game.

Apparently that was a bug and not an intended feature. They should bring it back.

I miss it too. With it scurrying across the floor. T-T

Wait it was a bug for the voodoo dolls to do that? I am sad I really like playing around with them

Yeah it was a collision problem. if you watched close the doll always dashed in the same direction relative to the way it was facing.

Im glad others miss the doll as well! My streams actually mourned the doll when it stopped moving and im glad apparently its going to be fixed.

Er its not GOING to be fixed. It IS fixed. It running around was never supposed to happen. I doubt they'll bring back the ability to get money twice. Previously you could get money for a photo of the doll and then throwing the doll would make it move because its hitbox was broken, but because it moved, even though it was a player that moved it, you could take a picture of it for an interaction picture and get more money. Now no matter how much a player throws it about it wont count as interaction unless the ghost plays with it.

I didn't care about the money I just liked throwing it around watching the silly things it did. Now you throw it and it doesn't do anything it doesn't even tell you where the ghost is supposed to be. Honestly the games kinda lost appeal in those areas without the fun of watching it spaz out. So if its not going to come back ah well I'll move on then. Was hoping they would bring it back as just a fun feature even if we all knew it wasn't supposed to do that.

The dev should have kept it in as a feature.

Well thats kind of tricky. It would confuse new players who weren't there when the voodoo doll did that and would think it means something if they add it back in.

But i could totally get behind maybe having an option in the settings that toggles it back to old behaviour so that by default it behaves as intended, but the old behaviour could be toggled on WITH an explanation of why it's now going to act really weird so newbies don't get confused.

Bit of an overreaction for a bug fix if you think it loses appeal for that. Also the thing about it "going where the ghost is" was just some stupid rumor. It never did that.
