Whoah i have not been keeping up lol. have been in a run for the past couple days lol

That is true however i play on my school cromebook so streaming and recording will prob get very laggy and difficult.

Wait the record was beaten again? That does not show up on my device? Or was it just a test? (i suppose Antti is you)

If you nerf Contrite this way then you should prob also look into nerfing the banker. I just gave him roughly 0.5T after the third boss and then it is just a boring waiting game.  2-3 boss fights later and baam over 9000 T. (which i then 16x with two DD for the 150 P). This makes the game very boring and non-interactive the second you get a good chunk of money into the banker. Also the new relic that kills heretics when you open a chest is waaaayy to op in my opinion

Hm ok that could be a thing i guess

Why the heck is my run not logging???? I had 150 P and it does not show up, whyyy??. I pressed Back to menu and is just does not show up?? WHY??

Is the leaderboard just updating slowly or is something very wrong here???

I just realized how wacky this sounds since i have no proof bruh. Is there anyway to for you (Anttihaavikko) to like check played runs or something or is it just lost?? (have no screen shots)

Edit: Ok i have collected my self and this definetly  has to be patchted. Tmrw i will make a different account on my phone istead and try replicate it (new device so i can do it with lower score). The only thing i did different from normal is hitting "back to menu" instead of "try again". Will try that tmrw

Prob i guess

Nice

Finally a worthy opponent, our battle shall be legendary....

Also why are there two pk accounts???

Rn in the game there is kinda to types of powerups. The ones which stack (health, pillage, etc) and the ones you only get one of (contrite, smite, blink). Annoyingly home tiles dont fall in either. You can have multiple of them but they dont stack. Niether is having two or more useful in any way. Can this be changed such that  you only get one of them like you do with smite and contrite. (same goes for the same type of wildcards).

Yes "have both effetcs" sounds good. Perhaps "Tiles with P and D" do both their own and the others ability" or something along the lines of that. Might be a bit lengthy tho?

Idk about you but after playing the game for a bit one will prob  learn what the colors do, after all there are only 5.  I do agree that the Wildcard description could be improved. When i first started playing it was confusing and i thought  it switched up the powers of the tiles (instead of making both do both). Idk what to write instead but i am sure Anttihaavikko could come up with something.

And yes the game is fairly luckbased but a good overal understandig of macro and microstrategies is still required i feel like. (as someone who tryhards the game i always reset for a good start lol)

sounds good to me. By my experience of this glitch i do agree that this sounds like a good fix. Thank you!! Back to grinding for 1 Quad

Lets go back to grinding for 1 Quad

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.

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

Have tried walking back and fourth. There is no fix. 2000 Trillions are gone :(

My what i remember it seems like the glitch happends whenever you pick up the cross at the same time a brute/heretic steps on PB and gets smited. Could be something

Here i am and the glitch is still not patched. This time it was a brute and not a heretic. 54 T might be a new highscore but i am sitting with another 2000 TRILLIONS in a bank which i can not acces!!!!! Like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH"

Will prob finish this run tmrw. 5 T combined with 2 divine dilution? This will be atleast 80 T lol (also have 4 chaos brews for the of chance of another DD potion lol)

When you get new scarfs and hats, does it show if you have them already or not in some way? If not it think i should be added? (And yes it is indeed interesting to find these tiny differeces across devices:))

Another thing is about the potions that ad pathways to tiles on hand and on board. These seem to be temporary by my experiments which in that case should be clarified in the potion description (it is currently not)

On a highscore run rn and the vednors does indeed allow for the purchase of a second doubleing of your score. Unless i am stupid this should be a new highscore with a big margin

Ah yes that is probably whats happening. It would explain the inconsistencies and as far as i can remember i think (very loose think) that is had only ever happened when i have had contrite and have skipped a reward. The "Cool guy with glasses" relic is probably the culprit.

First of all. Contrite icon i a cool guy with glasses. Thats all i need to know.

Second. Yes it might be about fonts. My Indian friend mensioned that the symbols used here belong to a town near where he was born so thats kinda cool.

Edit: Now that i think about is its definetly about different fonts on different devices. My friend Dalex (hes also here somewere in the discussion feed) has mentioned how Smite is different on Pc 

Yes it is indeed Smite. It might be about playing on cromebook. The Contrite icon (kinda funny, have never even seen my favorite power up lol) is always missing as well. The other things only show up when claming a lot of hats and scarfs

Question: Can you recive the same scarf and had twice from chest or do they not re appear when you already have them?

Ok that could be the case. I might not have refreshed the tab or something like that. Thanks

Uhhh i hate to bring the bad news but this is still a ting unfortuantly. This time i can give some more  precise information on what went down. There is a thing were if you pick up a cross at the same time a heretic steps on a PB ad gets smited the PB tile is kept during the "hey am a big bad boi boss so am gonna clear all ur placed tiles" thing. This is precisely what happend here. exept i did not get the cross. Fortunatly it seems you are on the right track since it seems it is connected to heretics. 

Side note: I saw youre response regarding the double score potion. I agree that is is balanced to be a one time thing. With brew mastery (i think thats what is what its called) and 5 extra slots you could theoreticly get 4^8= 65536 times your score in like 3 seconds. That would be kinda broken. Spamming chaos brew in late game to get these potions is prob the best strat rn

Another lil glitch i found (its not very urgent so dont stress it, take ur time :D) is when you interact with a chest and a vendor at the same time. Sometimes (but only someyimes wierdly) you will enter the chest first and then not get to enter the vendor. Its odd to me how it only happends sometimes. Once again this is not to urgent so take ur time if u need a break from all the glitch patching lol. (no screenshot since this would be difficult to capture)

Also i have a question regarding the potion that doubles your score. During all my runs i have only ever had it once per round. Is that a thing or am i just stupidly unlucky lol

You are the one who deserves a thanks. 4 patch notes in half a day is incredible :D

Yes precisely. For some more information it is not like is spawned say on a tile where the heretic stands (has happened before but it is not to bad). It just spawned normaly and when i went to pick it up nothing happend.

 And as a side note. Going through this run in one sitting i realized that the time spent is more around 2-3 hours for a highscore run. Multiple sittings threw me of lol

Simalar thing has happened to me, although not in the order of events you described. It was a couple of patches ago so it might have been fixed but if you use vigors brew as you are meant to die you will die but still have hp left.

This is very annoying and it has happened twice. I have tried getting the cross multiple times but it does  not work. This completely kills the run and it was prob gonna be a new highscore :(

Thanks! I am not sure of how long the run took as i played it over multiple days but my guess would be probably around 4-5 hours. Of the top of my head i have an idea about the vendors. The vendor who sells mixed tiles is (i feel like) a litte bit uneccessary since wildcards achieve the same effect but way better. It would cool if he sold unique tiles with special powers that can only be aquired from him. Will probably think more about new ideas during the day. Otherwise i think ur doing a great job developing the game and making it more intresting as well as being good at fixing these bugs fast. (playing bigger games you sometimes have to wait weeks for a little patch note). :D

Edit: Have tought a bit more about what special powers these bricks could have. Perhaps they could be stronger versions of the original tiles like a popes blessing healing for more than one or a dynasty 3x your step score (these would still be affected about relics like wildcard or home.

Another idea is a tile that kills of heretics. Whilst we already have this as popes blessing+smite i think this could be nice as a way of making runs less smite (and blink) dependent.

My last idea is kinda wacky but could be cool. Maybe the tile selling vendor could also sell land. This would be something that you could place down to make the map a bit larger. It would be cool and allow for some dynamic gameplay.

As i am not a game developer myself i have no idea how complicated these things would be to implement but they could be cool :)

Second edit (lol): saw your reply. Yes saving runs could be quite nice. When i was on my highscore run i was hella nervous about my battery running out (playing on cromebook). That would make the tabs refresh and the run would be lost 

A pretty big problem. In the latest path note you made is such that if the boss breaks a tile you cant walk there. Since there are some one wide pathways in the bossbattles this sometimes causes the boss to cut the field in half. If the cross is on the other side there is nothing you can do. (Thx for an epic game doe
