BUILD 1337 - Back on Track

It's your problem to work around the build changes, not the developers. Find some new tactics, instead of wasting a week (like you did here) arguing about how much you dislike the change; spend that time exploring new possibilities, for here I quote Issac Newton's Third Law of Motion...

I know that doesn't really work here, it sounded better on paper...

 

Remember guys:

Not sure what would have caused this, maybe the base paths were changed at some point. I'll try to make both "versions" of settings work, but for now apparently fixing the path is enough, let me know if that really fixes the issue or if it's something more sinister.

>Implying testers aren't mainly comprised of long time players
>Implying there haven't been multiple "nerf spikes" threads and that your opinion should be held as a gold standard

We'll see if they need to go back in the other direction, but instakill-from-the-ground spikes are cheesy crutches hiding the fact that builders are too squishy by giving them a dice-roll instakill melee. I'd argue if your entire clan's performance was contingent on a builder getting a handful of instant kills rather than your clan's mastery of the foundations of the game, you are a one-trick-pony clan.

Feel free to suggest better heights for it to do different damage, from memory it's like 8 tiles to instakill a knight now, lower for other classes? Not hard to measure and adjust either way.

Trampoline changes were not intentional, but were deemed not sufficiently drastic to hold the build. They'll be back to their bouncy selves in the new year.

According to @norill it's ctrl+P, I think. It needs to be added to the GUI for sure.

I said the foundations are there - local co-op for KAG is not finished yet, there's just code there to allow more than one player on the same machine. Local co-op will probably be worked on around the same time as Skinney's single-player stuff so that there's something to bother playing cooperatively :) I can't imagine save the princess is particularly fun the third time, even with friends.
Gamepads "should" work out of the box but will need binding in the settings menu, and may not be able to control your mouse yet (not sure, it's MM's work).
Plug in your gamepad and see how far you can get with binding things. If mouse stuff needs binding we can accommodate with the next big update.

Some Clarification:
This build has been forced out to some extent to clear the air and find out what's "really" broken with these changes, as you've seen going public with anything pulls out new bugs that slipped under the radar, (for example those seclev issues). There've been over a hundred days and countless changes due to TR, and this is the simplest way to get a good handle on what's carried over well.
We'll be getting a new build out addressing these issues early in the new year once they've all come to light and the balance stuff has had time to settle again - and there might be a quick fix build in the first week of the year for clearly broken things like trampolines.

 

Fwiw there's a very clear difference between pissing and moaning and providing constructive feedback.
We listen a lot harder to the latter, we'd prefer the first kind go back to shrieking at people in CoD.

 

As always, haters of the new builds pop out. There are and there will always be something POSITIVE and something NEGATIVE in the updates. PLOX GUYS DUNT HATE

 

Actually, it was needed blue_tiger. All archers had to do was backpedal and have good aim, and knights couldn't catch them

 

Blue Tiger I'm not looking for feedback saying I'm a god, I'm looking for feedback as opposed to whiny complaints and the same doomsday game broken forever dramatic bullshit we get every release. I quoted you as an example of unhelpful snark and to point out that the cause and effect you were suggesting was flawed - you're by no means the only person doing it or a particularly bad offender.

Re: OSX crashes, we're looking into it but I'm not able to test it today - we might be able to sneak something in between xmas and new years for it, fingers crossed.
