Build 262 released!

I'm usually not a favor of rollbacks, but in thise case I really vouch for a rollback to build 228, and that this build will be tested a bit more.
I think having this build run will seriously work against kag2d's popularity, alot of servers seem to have problems running. And Noburu, I, and possibly others, can't connect to most crowdy servers anymore either. Then there's also the notch/vault jumping that feels really sloppy and slow, which is really the gamebreaker for me.

I understand that this build is not just the release of the workshops and a few other things, but also a release of underlying codes that serve as set-up for the zombie build. But I gain no pleasure from playing this build as it is right now, and I'm usually pretty tolerable. I can imagine it's great to release new stuff, but honestly, I don't think the pressure is that high, the community is pretty patient. I'm just afraid that this build will destroy more than it creates.

So personally I would love to see this build go back to testing phase, while official kag2d goes back to build 228.

As extra, I would not mind organising all the reported bugs in a readable way, so that you know exactly what is wrong and has to be done.

ps: I wouldn't mind making a petition of people who agree, so you will be re-assured that this what the community wants, or, ofcourse, does not want.

My thoughts so far:

- Walking through doors should be more fluid
- The helping text that hoves above shops every time you pass it should be an ON/OFF option.
- Whenever you buy arrows or bombs the cursor is moving towards that shop, making it fly back and forth if you buy a lot of stuff.
- Arrows sticking to a body are overkill. Looks messy + The arrows don't even stick in right places. I may shoot somebody in front and the arrow appears on their back.
- Jumping feels wierd, can't put a finger on it. Same for notching.
- Still no warm up timer.
- Bombs are acting wierd. Sometimes they drop out of your hand when pressing F to aim.
- Speaking of bomb aim, the arrow should follow the movement of the mouse better.
- There should be an option to sort server by favorites.
- Empty shop should cost less due to the fact that you have to pay to convert it. (Preferably 40 stone/wood)
- The amount of rescources needed to build the arrow shop/bomb shop/quarters should be equal, (50 wood 50 stone)
- Stats don't reset properly. When exiting KAG and then joining a server you played on previously, your stats are there , along with the material you had before you left.

 

I'm glad that everything is fine on your testing system. But KAG worked to me very well on ALL previous builds. And all games do. So it is not my drivers issue.

Bug with windowed mode lag/lowfps is XFCE related, I reported it on Mantis long, long ago. And windowed mode worked fine 2 builds ago.

Also transparent fullscreen mode is a new build bug. Wasn't present ever in the past.

So please, fix this. I know you can.

Saw someone say in chat "how to get 5 hears" and I screened one that had it, looks like a bug...

 

edit : nvm I'm idiot

 

The odd thing is I checked many others, played as archer that I have i job description mousing over enemies and that was only 5 heart guy i found... Got DC afterwards so can't be 100% certain...

 

It was the server. That was the Empire vs Slayer server.

 

Just tried out 263 to make sure this same problem still exists as in 262.

Archer arrows are passing through Knight's Shield and causing damage.
The charge level doesn't matter. 1 Archer vs. 1 Knight, any charge level, causes damage through shield.

Love the game! Thank you for your efforts!

 

'- arrows don't stick to shields'
I just tested to see if this would fix arrows damaging through shields, it doesn't. I liked it when they stuck to shields but if it doesn't fix the problem there's no point.

 

It's new, I don't think it was in the test build.

 

I think it's quite fashionable, actually.



But seriously, I'm not noticing arrows going through my shield. They seem to work same as before for me.

 

The new workshops are pretty.

I don't like the jumping floatiness; feels sloppy. Notch jumping is inconsistent, I don't know why it hasn't been completely taken out yet. I doubt the arrows sticking in people would look good even if it wasn't all glitchy.

Catapults needed to be less effective versus people, but making it so that the rocks pass right through people seems like the most unintuitive way to do it. Their ability to take down buildings needed to be buffed if anything; making it harder to get them only perpetuates how much the game favours stalemate.

 

I agree about notch jumping being removed altogether. Would make ladders much more valuable. And I think the arrows sticking would look great if it only stuck inside of shields. This is kind of the look I thought they were going for, but as the tip of the arrow isn't overlapped, it doesn't look like it's actually penetrating anything.

 

I loved kag but this hurts me deep in my soul...I mean...I don't even know what to say? Arrows going through shields? i'm sure its a glitch but it makes it just impossible. It was hard enough chasing down a good archer now its impossible.you can still buy more bombs then you have the money for. Found a sky bridge that got greifed but most of it was just floating un supported. Knight fighting is just unpredictable even when you have the clear advantage you can lose to bullshittery, its like playing russian roulette. I understand toning down notching but to make it so there are notches you KNOW you can get up it just takes you 5 tries of doing the exact same thing to do it is just bad. I respect your image of what you think kag should be, and by all means do it, most of us trust your judgement but please don't ruin it with bad mechanics and glitchs : / I am sure in time the glitches will all be fixed but its so hard to have fun with it right now.
