Original Post

Hello Commanders!

Today brings a ton of new QOL changes with the update, along with the changes to jailing that some may have been dreading.

We're going to use this thread as a place to collect feedback regarding any QOL changes (be it mentioned in the status report or not) or jailing changes. This is different from the bug report megathread which is meant to document bugs or changes that weren't mentioned.

Thanks for the feedback and the tags! I'm glad everyone is *mostly* enjoying the QOL changes from this update. I've definitely been advocating for changes like this and the feedback you guys give is helpful for sure. We can't always make the requested changes but it's always great when we can.

We're still keeping an eye on the feedback regarding the jail / stall changes. A lot of what I'm seeing is feedback from players who are just reading what's in the Status Report vs playing it in-game. I would really like to get a sense of how you guys feel after doing some in-game testing. Again, we'll keep a close watch on the feedback as more of you hop in and play.

Thanks again for the continued feedback and support. <3

Hey u/Magyst

The changes are great, but if I could ask one thing of you, could you forward the duplication glitch that's currently going on over to the team? Or are they already aware?

We're fully aware. I would advise against abusing it. Please and thank you!

Very nice and informative review about current situation Biscuit.

Agreed, this is the type of feedback we're looking for. Thank you u/BiscuitBarrel179. I'll make sure this is highlighted for the team after today's changes.

This is great feedback, everyone. Please keep it coming! With all changes, we'll keep monitoring the suggestions / feedback provided here and revisit specific pain points if necessary.

Thank you to everyone who has, and continues to provide the feedback. You guys are the real Ghost Boss Material.

After the 15.40 update, when disposing of traps, more resources are given (apparently as it was before the 15.40 update), and now crafting traps is cheaper. And it turns out that you craft a stack (200 traps) and then dispose of them and get more resources (dup from the air) for nothing, and most importantly, these are the basic mechanics of the game (craft traps), that the skin, knowing or not even though this can dup resources.

As they wrote, this is the best update over the past 1.5 years, but it turns out that something else is hidden behind the picture (afk passage is still relevant and, most importantly, they brought something that was not worth it + they gave where to put it all). And how so epics showed themselves from the best side again - epicfail. At first, as it were, you see one thing, but everything turns out to be trite crooked hands.

And if they don't fix that crap * in 1 day, but say we know about the problem, we'll figure it out and fix it in the next update, then all the wave of this nonsense out of nothing, and most importantly, due to the developers themselves. Better not to know about it (the less you know, the better you sleep). And I wish I didn’t know, but then I wondered what was going on at all on missions. And this is one thing when there are ways to farm from the air, but another when it is in the very mechanics of the basics.

And no, to just fix or roll back this glitch (send a quick patch to fix it) but, not to give recommendations not to use, this kind:

"We're fully aware. I would advise against abusing it. Please and thank you!"

And if they didn't give a damn, then they could immediately fix their own glitch within a couple of hours or simply turn off the server so as not to give those who use it with a bang. And I understand that the second option is not possible due to the fact that Pve and Pvp are the same servers, well, then you get involved in the work and fix it, and don't do something from the game that will later lead to unwillingness to play part of the audience. Since before that, how many of these dup were already, and from again, and this decreases the value of resources, and some people will use this for personal purposes).

The bug you mentioned was fixed the same day it was released.
