Ah crap so that thing is indeed still happening somehow. Gotta investigate some more. Yea I made fourth boss and onwards spawn brutes instead of normal heretics.
I guess you've tried continuing to just move past it again? You don't need to end on the spot to grab it, just passing it too should get it. And since the heretics don't always mess it up, worth a try to try again.
Sad, sorry bout that! 😭
More info on how it happens please. Was it the first hit (not counting when opening the chest of course) or can happen at any point? Did you kill the heretic the same turn you move there or earlier? Did you happen to have sounds on, does it play the cross grab sound? How did you kill the heretic (and where on the map was it) Looks like you had blink too, any blinks or potion usage?
Might need to disable boss heretic spawns completely for now unless I find a solution to this.
edit: Also, do you remember if there was a gem on that cross spot tile?
For this case: This was prob around the 5-6 cross so it can happen whenever. The brute did indeed die on a PB at the same time as i picked up the cross. Infact we both had the exact same amount of tiles to walk for our destination (1 tile, i like to set it up this way since it lets you keep the PB tile, my guess is that this is because the boss wont remove the tile since it think there is a heretic on it). No sounds, i play with it of but will turn in on to get information. The heretic died via smite and as far as i can recall no warping through him was taking place. There was prob a gem on the tile since my deck mostly consisted of those. I did not activate any potions.
I think generally most of these things can be said about the bug. it has happend 3-4 times i think. Most of the times PB was involed i think. Generally i have also found some other inconsistencies regarding heretics and brutes. Sometimes they wont move if the board is cleared during the same brickplacement etc. This last paragraph might not be fully accurate since it happend a while ago.
Turning of heretics might indeed be a good idea. It will only affect better players since this only matters after 3rd boss and beyond so the impact is not to huge perhaps. If you need help testing (and if there is a way to organise that) i will gladly help. I love knowing all of the little interesting intricacies of this game.
Side question. After consuming 4-5 Chaos six packs (trying to get another DD potion) they stopped appearing in chests yet vednors still sold them. Is there a cap here as well or just RNG?
Also i would love if you changed is so that the game starts writes say 1.3 T instead of 1300 G. It makes is feel so much nicer hitting that new barrier and seeing that new letter lol (for me this is since i wanna see the Quadrillion symbol as fast as possible lol,)
Edit: If you are going to remove heretic spawns in bosses, please do as fast as possible. Wanna get back to grinding for 1 Quad as fast as possible lol :D
Actually, chaos six pack respects the "only one DD pot per game" rule and so does Pontiff. When I said you could gamble for them, I meant the chaos brew potion which has a completely random potion effect. But of course very risky as it can instantly kill you or fully wipe your score.
I don't like the look of decimal values so that's why I only hop to next suffix after 10. And of course there is the whole point versus comma thing too (I think you guys use comma too right).
I will push an update tomorrow no matter what. If I can't solve this, I'll disable the boss heretic spawns.
Sounds good to me, fair point about the commas. At this point i feel like i dont even know what i use lol. I do a lot of math and therefore typically use dot instead of comma on computer (say Geogebra wants is that way)but when am writing comma is the way to go lol.
If pontiff is one of the vendors who sells potions he does not. I managed to get i second DD from him in my latest run.
He is the pope guy who sells all sorts of good items for heretic souls, including the DD potion. Speaking of which, I should probably add contrite to his inventory too if that's your favourite. 😂 The normal potion vendor (Pseudo-Gerber) can sell dupes.
I do have a dev build up at https://games.sahaqiel.com/cc.html if you wanna play around and try to see how you've made it get stuck. Basically you can skip to the fourth boss level by hitting E (it also gives you a bunch of 4-way PB tiles). You can get free relics/cards by hitting P/C. It's random though so might need a bit of cycling around to find smite or what ever you want. Basically almost all keys do something. 😅 Umm what could be important... K kills random heretic and D redraws one tile from the deck.
