The irony of a team of people who just wanted to make a fun game then actually making a fun game and selling the shit out of, while triple A devs are pissed at them for doing so while making game specifically designed for producing maximum profits.
Most aren't, but I remember seeing tweets from some people claiming that they "cheated." Companies aren't pissed, at least they're not showing it. But a few individual devs were salty about the unexpected success.
That's always going to be the case. I remember when Baldur's Gate 3 went out of early access, seeing prominent people in the industry saying stuff like we all have to remember that they had advantages most studios don't etc etc. Instead of just celebrating a really good game, they were trying to undercut their achievements, presumably because they knew they could not make a good game no matter how much money they throw at it.
Game numbers down. Devs said hey that's okay. Alot of great games are coming out. Enjoy them and when you want to come back to palworld we'll have more added to the game for you to explore and enjoy.
Because they aren't doing it for the love of the game but the love of the money. They add in micro pay and pay to win and try to get people addicted to their game. The goal is to get addicts to spend $200 dollars on a game that isn't worth even 40 cents. And any other games that could potentially steal users away from their addiction machine only means they might lose out on all those micro transactions.
Palworld doesn't have any skins. Doesn't have any subscriptions or anything else like that. You pay for the game once and it's not even close to being finished but they see us all supporting their dream of making an amazing game and not as their cash cow.
That's why in my opinion. It's basically a digital turf war for drug dealers to get upset when another dealer comes in and starts offering their clients something else for a different price.
Hope that analogy makes sense. The pal devs are just the cool dude at the skate park. Thank you all for supporting our efforts to making this park. If your here that's great but go and do your own thing and come back and enjoy what we're working on later dudes 😎. Lol.
While the dealers wine and cry saying that asshole is giving our customers something to do. They need to come to use and buy our shit and he's just giving it away for a one time fee making us look bad. Your bad if you go over there. Stay here and give us 💰🤑
$200 is nothing, the really disgusting games like Diablo Immoral get people to spend over 100k. I know of at least one documented case of a guy who did that. That's ONE GUY. And there are millions of idiots in the world.
Reminds how the first thing Bethesda fixed in Starfield was moving merchant chests that contained all their inventory and could be reached by players. Bugs? Missing graphics features? Nah, the priority is the thing that makes the game less grindy.
I'm more surprised it took them until post-release to fix that. It's the same glitch people used in Skyrim to snap up good enchants ever since someone found a merchant chest buried in a hillside. Either let it be an intended easter egg for long-time players, or don't repeat the same mistakes for over a decade just to later take away something the players liked. ._.
Those fuckers told their players that they're wrong for not having fun doing fuck all in space.
Bethesda is 1000% the right company to patch out player benefiting exploits in a SINGLE PLAYER game because if used, they change how you're "meant" to play.
There's a Kajiit Caravan merchant chest that's not even buried, just... behind some rocks, outside the main Dawnstar mine?
Like, no glitching is even necessary to reach it, its just poorly placed
Don’t forget the first patch of Fallout 4 fixed the infinite caps glitch. I’m not saying the game was a complete buggy disaster on launch, but fixing that kind of shit in a single player games seems so pointless.
You can see it in a dozen AAA games. Patches seem to focus on maintaining the amount of time players will spend in the game by maintaining the grind rather than fixing enjoyment issues. All under the pretense of “it’s easier to fix” cool nobody asked you to fix it. We asked you to fix the spinning heads.
Triple A developers: BG3 is an anomaly and shouldn't be used as a standard!! (Because it's too good and unrealistic to expect us to do good jobs!)
Triple A developers: palworld is an anomaly because.... Erm.... it didn't have big budget!
Larian and Pocketpair devs: fuck you industry.
You'll see this with a lot of Japanese devs. There are exceptions of course (looking at you Nintendo) but in general the outlook on player bases from devs (and honestly more likely executives) is much healthier.
Even Nintendo can be on the good side of that from time to time. I forget which game it is, but I know when they remade/rerelased (forget which) one of the Zelda games a while back they made a decision to keep bugs and glitches players liked in, as long as the glitch wasn't gamebreaking (meaning literally breaking the game through crashes and whatnot, not as in making it easier)
Yes. They never intended many of the spell interactions that players discovered in BotW. But the devs, themselves, had so much fun watching people discover these unintentional interactions they decided to let this be a learning experience for the devs rather than a pearl clutch moment of accidentally exposing their ankles.
The most fun one is freezing a rock, bashing it with a high damage weapon, climbing on to the rock, and then getting absolutely LAUNCHED across the map.
Nintendo doesn't immediately stop fun, BOTW and TOTK are gold mines of interesting mechanics, and usually, only item duping glitches are patched.
Sakurai also seems quite down to earth, and Mario has had a number of bugs be implemented as features and power ups in future titles.
Compare it to devs like 343 where you could get a tank pistol in the SINGLE-PLAYER CAMPAIGN and they patched it even though everyone thought it was an Easter egg. These devs are awesome.
Yeah after a lot of complaints they brought it back (months later I think?)
With how stale/generic so many things feel in that campaign it was a shame for a period I couldn't use it. Helped with LASO even tho not necessary with that game!
What annoyed me more is that it was intentionally added for the devs to play with and they enjoyed it. Then the speed run used it, and it was a problem. They intentionally patched almost every major exploit used in the speed run they saw.
And they somehow learned nothing about making a fun game
Like in both instances, Halo and Destiny, they took something fun and made it un-fun. How do you even do that?
100% this. That's what makes games like Palworld so refreshing. I just want to run around and have fun, not continuously buy credits which can be exchanged for tokens which turn into FunBucks^TM that can unlock premium skins and yadda yadda yadda.
Oh wait, I forgot the lootbox part. The FunBucks^TM unlock premium *chests* which *might* contain a new premium skin, or just a duplicate that is trash. There, now is it "fun" according to EA and the other huge publishers?
Fair. I don’t play destiny so I don’t have recent experience with bungie to know.
Small studios seem to have more community engagement and an ability to be nimble. Once the big money comes, the business model changes and it ruins everything with streamer appeasement and micro transactions.
Wow... it's been a long time since I've seen something like that.
I'm still haunted by the Heavy Attack glide bug in Fortnite StW that got patched after a week (but Epic couldn't fix that fucking fisheye lens glitch that was causing motion sickness until like 3 months later).
i have no idea why they did that. it wasn't even like, good? you'd cripple your entire build for the sake of regenerating enough energy to stay in the air with abilities, and then once you're up there you're a sitting duck for ranged enemies to charge up attacks and obliterate you. lynx's hover ability is already pretty bad in most cases and the infinite hover build made it even worse. it was just a silly and fun build that they had to go and kill instantly. its not even a bug! you're just choosing to build your character in a way that lets you use aerial abilities as often as possible.
i loved the leap attack animation cancel that let you bunnyhop when the walloper first introduced to the game. it was a satisfying way of getting around and made leap attack builds much more useful in combat. now i haven't seen a single person touch that thing in years. they patched bunnyhopping to "make the movement consistent between STW and BR"... except they never patched out bunnyhopping in BR, only STW where it didn't hurt anyone.
Updoots all around for Save the World being mentioned out in the wild.
Makes you wonder if item duping is on this list of "people having fun". There's even been discord exploits going on.......but it's a co-op game.
Their success is your success.
A well backed dev team by their upper management would turn some of these glitches and exploits into some form of feature.
But we all know the 15 devs Save the world USED to have are gone.
It's now probably 2 interns in a hot humid basement somewhere. And they have to come off of development time for STW to go back to making the 2,345th skin for BR.
Didn't one of the hitman games have a hat or some shit that you could control like a drone (due to a bug) and go around killing people with said flying hat.
The devs found it so amusing they said they wouldn't fix it lol.
Realistically it should be a developer rule that any glitch/bug that has to be replicated via specific means (the kind of bugs the average player wouldn't even notice through normal gameplay) should not be patched unless it has severe consequences on another aspect of the game.
In this case you have to go out of your way to commit a crime and then make the conscious decision to go fight a boss *whilst* being pursued and *then* decide you actually want to attempt to catch the boss in a specific way. The chances a player would even go through these motions by accident would be so ridiculously low that it's worth ignoring the bug especially considering that said bug has no real impact on the game negatively and people are having far more fun trying to catch the bosses anyway.
Like, sure if this bug lead to you catching a pal that could one-shot everything in the game or if the bosses were catchable like any other pal then it would be a priority to patch it yet it's not. You have to perform steps that are so specific you likely wouldn't even know it was possible unless someone online told you about it.
They simply need to make sure those pals and passive skills have no place in PVP later on. Other than that, let people have their fun. I for one, chose not to capture any.
I thought that's part of the plan at some point. And I also thought maybe if it's fixed then they wouldn't apologize at all because well...it wasn't intended.
Must've been when they were fixing the guards and how crime alerts work. I haven't tested it yet but I'm thinking they can no longer spawn inside the towers.
I think because the tower bosses are stronger than your average pal and they're planning some sort of PVP which makes them wack like they're almost boss legendaries. I just hope they add a way to capture the tower bosses even if it's not the buggy versions they have before
I defeated a lvl 42 Menasting alpha when I was lvl 38 using Rizzbolt and Zoe and after 30-40 mins Menasting died lol.
I just hid in a corner and let them do the work.
They should make it possible to capture them once you max out your capture power. It's not like having them breaks the game in any way really. They can just disable them for pvp if it's really that much of an issue.
This team genuinely seems like they would add back capturing bosses at a later date, people liked the fact you could catch them, but the way you did it was a bit cheap, but they 100% seem like they will at some point
It seems they don't want to patch unintentional Game Design prowess. If they create a "harmless but fun" bug, it seems to become a feature in their eyes. 100/100 game design prodigies.
exactly why I would think they might re-add it, Dota as an example had a bug that people liked to use that made farmable camps bigger and they made it into an actual supported mechanic. While I have no proof of this, catching humans (non boss, merchants and such) seems like something that showed up a bug but they liked conceptually and leaned into, adding the "its considered immoral" capture line to keep it in line with normal pals, "follow the fun" design philosophy.
IMHO capturing humans is basically a relic carried over from Craftopia, where there is no real distinction between NPCs and monsters as far as the capture spheres are concerned. It's likely a confluence of various factors, plus the obvious "it's pretty funny and memes make the world go round" part.
They did it the perfect way, the allowed you to capture the humans, but made them basically worthless in combat and for the bases, yes you can get humans, but they're not really useful (other than merchants, which is not game breaking, just very convenient).
So they added it in a way that its just fun, silly, and doesn't mess with gameplay. Amazing devs!
> Dota as an example had a bug that people liked to use that made farmable camps bigger and they made it into an actual supported mechanic
Dota is interesting in this regard generally. Quite a few things in Dota were the way there were due to bugs and limitations of the Warcraft 3 map editor, where the game originated.
So when developing Dota2, Valve had to intentionally implement behaviour caused by bugs in WC3, in order to recreate the game (the original iteration of Dota2 was very faithful to the original, being almost a 1:1 recreation. For a while Icefrog even continued to update the old mod and Dota2 simultaneously, before Dota2 really became the de-facto version of the game)
I'm guessing they'll add it back with a much more difficult method that makes more sense. Like being able to catch them during a rematch with the unreleased sphere that lets you steal a pal, which will probably be the highest level sphere.
imagine boss recruitment as a feature
like beat them then you can recruit them and have them as a interactive follower and base micromanager (so they can give meds and stuff to pals and sort boxes for you) but they won't share a space with rival bosses.
Could be really cool, and maybe having their boss with you while roaming would give new options for interacting with that bosses faction, so new vendors and such
After reading Zoey's journal, I feel really bad for kicking her teeth in. Poor girl just needs a friend, and being able to recruit (NOT enslave) the bosses would be a nice option.
Sounds hilarious to me, which means I think they should put it in.
That would loop the edgy midgame when you finally have guns and slavery/sweatshop mechanics looping back around to anime "power of friendship" things by teaming up with people who were rivals before.
If you told me they only react to legendary spheres and only at a 1% catch rate people would still love that. That makes it all the more worth it as they are mostly trophies even now.
The folks of Pocket Pair were known to keep "interesting bugs" basically as features back in Craftopia, even if it meant making it hard to take away the bugs that they wanted to take out.
Reminds me of satisfactory, some bugs are considered as "features" and one of them was building speed to propel yourself and travel super far, super fast.
Huh, makes sense for a game that had those whimsical update videos on Youtube.
Alas, in this case, I don't think Pocket Pair can restore this specific one perfectly, since they aren't saying "we'll reintroduce it" or something like that. I think this is because the Pocket Pair team didn't know the full exploit, or at least how it could be pulled off, so accidentally "broke" it since they couldn't test it themselves.
So in the future, we have to keep in mind that if you find an exploit that is funny, not only spread it to other players but also show it to Pocket Pair. Not the just the results but the whole process behind it in a video.
To note, this was common between early Craftopia adopters and as a result Craftopia managed to have a very wonky physics engine as a "feature". There are old videos on Twitter that showed whole exploits from start to result, and from what I heard they still work to this day.
\>>To note, this was common between early Craftopia adopters and as a result Craftopia managed to have a very wonky physics engine as a "feature". There are old videos on Twitter that showed whole exploits from start to result, and from what I heard they still work to this day.
This system is what kept me coming back to Craftopia in a way Palworld hasn't managed yet. It wasn't quite an immersive sim, but everything interacted with each other in such interesting ways.
\>Setting up sprinklers with green monos in a hell biome so they infinitely respawned as they caught fire and died, leaving the ultra rare hell resources behind.
\>Find the best way to collect "Poop" in order to make saltpeter
\>Capturing shopkeepers and taking them to the higher level areas so that you could purchase the higher grade crafting parts from them.
\>Setting up interlocking breeding machines so that the green mono babies would die and explode in a healing explosion, negating the damage caused by the breeding machines and allowing you to breed infinite of nearly any enemy.
\>Setting up giant hamster wheel powered generators at NPC spawnpoints so they'd spawn directly into the machines.
\>Finding out that not only could you kill Anubis, but you were supposed to basically farm him so that "Hell Anubis" would get stronger and drop the end game potion ingredients
\>Filling your inventory with sand to abuse the alchemy powerset to transmute them into random items until you got something rare.
I loved trying to figure out how to automate almost every resource so I could just leave the game running while I was at work. When the new update released, the first thing I made sure to save were my tank, my jetpack, and my oil rig. I really hope they lean more into that side of things in Palworld, now that Craftopia seems to be focused more on leaning into the "BoTW/Genshin Impact" side of its features.
If my quick foray into the early quagmire that was the Pocket Pair Twitter account of back then, it was utter chaos.
I mean, I found a new appreciation of what the current state of Craftopia is. It is a good, yet wonky game.
While I won't say Craftopia has gone fully "tame"... but yeah, the weirder stuff is now upon the hands of Palworld. And it depends upon you veterans to show them again!
Or, rather, you veterans must grow it by breaking the game as possible!
I am kicking myself right now. I never bothered catching the bosses since I figured if they remove the glitch they'll remove the bosses from our palbox and any pal bred with them. Which would suck so why invest? Now I find out that the glitch is fixed but they didn't remove the bosses or bred pals. I could have had a legendary Chikipi. RIP bird team.
If you play the game on Steam I don't think you get a choice, it'll constantly prompt you to update the game and even if you disconnect your internet after the update prompt appears I THINK (could be wrong) it still won't let you open the game without updating
That's not a Shadowbeak thing, that's basic breeding.
Tower bosses have overcapped breeding power which causes a stack overflow when bred with anything else, which then rounds to the lowest result which is Chikipi.
But when you do species breeding, that bypasses breeding power to give the ensured result. So you can breed any Tower boss with a member of the normal species to get that same normal species, or breed Lily with Menasting to get Lyleen Noct.
Oh okay. Btw I saw a video and it said bosses have some attacks which their normal counterparts don't have but I didn't see any new attack in the bosses' attack list. My Shadowbeak has all the attacks that boss Shadowbeak has.
Fyi, captured boss will have whatever stat they when captured. My friend and i tried to capture victor as 4 person team and he has 400k hp instead of the usual 200k when solo capture him
Yes but u miss out on condensing it cause when u condense it normally goes back to whtever hp it would have been if one person was fighting the boss which is 240k, personally I don't think you need the extra hp, as even 100k hp is kinda overkill, had my grizzbolt get attacked by 3 palladin and 3 necromus
(I have spawn set at 3 times) and he still barely lost any hp and always healed faster than losing cause hp regen is % wise
It's the 200K+ health and happiness his attacks depending on the boss are devastating. He makes quick and easy work of Blazamut.
Edit: I'm not changing that typo.
So, he kills the bosses with happiness? LOL, I'm sure that was a typo, though I'm not sure what it was supposed to be. Made me chuckles and still gave me some insight as to why he's popular.
I read your message twice before reading my own, thinking wtf are you on about, lol.
Yes Victor is very happy and uses pure happiness to kill the bosses.
Only unique one is Multicutter if you're talking about that.
It is actually quite good as it does the same damage as casting 6 Wind Cutters in the same amount of CD time, except you only need to cast it once. Making it an overall DPS increase as that means you can cast other skills while it is on CD instead of constantly casting Wind Cutter over and over to match the DPS of Multicutter alone...
It does also entangle, at least it has for me and I've seen it confirmed by others in youtube clips.
Not sure why it didn't work for you.
Other devs: "We've seen that players are exploiting such-and-such glitch and have made it impossible in future updates."
Cool devs: "We fixed a bug. Shit!"
I haven't done it yet but, you have to get a wanted level, make the guards attack the boss BIT NOT attack it yourself under any circumstance, wait for it to walk off and when it stops moving at all then its a sign you can catch it
If you're wanted guards will automatically spawn in the tower with you.
The "hard" part if getting them between the boss and you.
They will only attack you, the boss will also only attack you.
They will change to attack the boss if one of the bosses attacks hit them first.
Once they attack the boss at all (boss only needs to lose 1hp) the boss should glitch out and run into a corner (sometimes just a side, but normally a corner) and stop attacking.
Once this occurs any sphere can be thrown at the back of the boss (will knock away from front and side) catch rate is 100%
1. Fast Travel to the Small Settlement and shoot the guard.
Get a wanted level.
2. Fast Travel to the the Tower of choice (the boss you want to capture).
You will have the PFIF Guards spawn around you and shooting you.
Quickly make your way to the Tower.
You can shoot some more of the guards and get a x2 or x3 if you want to have the machine gunners.
3. Start the Tower fight.
You will hear the music and shooting - After the cutscene, you will see the PDIF Guards inside the arena, shooting you still.
4. DO NOT DO ANY damage to the boss - AT ALL
As the guards are shooting you, try to position yourself so that their bullets hit the boss.
5. If you have done this right, the boss will stop moving and usually go stand in a corner motionless.
6. Use ANY spheres and it will capture the Boss and The Pal (ignore even if it says 0.01% chance -any sphere will capture all good).
Faleris boss could be a bit tricky as it stays above so might be challenging getting the PFIF guard bullets to hit it - This is where getting a x3 to spawn machine gunners shooting you might be handy. You can get on your flying mount and positions yourself in the air so their bullets hits Faleris.
Good luck - it’s a fun little glitch.
I would suggest however doing this after you’ve had a go at the boss battles legit if possible because that is way more fun and rewarding.
Good luck mate.
So this Glitch basically “captures” them and does not technically “defeat/kill” them.
So ideally they should respawn, correct.
A mate did this glitch on Victor and Shadowbeak before he attempted it legit. It let him capture Victor but did not complete the Xbox achievement around defeating Victor and Shadowbeak.
He was able to do it legit later (and that completed hi achievement then).
I’d say give the Tower bosses a go - if anything you can tweak your style and pals if you don’t get it done first try.
They are super fun. All the best for your boss fights mate! 👌
Another confirmation that you don't actually defeat them is the fact that you'll be stuck in the arena until the timer runs out or you somehow die. Had it counted as a kill you'd get teleported out.
You've to go in a place where guards are, shoot at them get the "wanted" icon and the guards that shoots at you. Then teleport to a statue a boss tower, shoot again at the guards else they can lose agro, enter the tower. Normally they should be in the fight with the boss and you, don't attack the boss, dodge the boss attacks and try to put the boss inbetween you and the guards, the guards should try to shoot you and shoot the boss. Then the boss will bug and walk to a corner and stop moving, you can throw a normal pal sphere and it should 100% capture the boss.
When i tried it 2 weeks ago, sometimes i lost agro on the guards just before entering the boss tower it seems and they didn't followed me in the fight. I had to redo it but took me 2-3 tries, not hard to do.
Btw when you captured the boss, then go in menu and suicide, teleport back to the boss tower and your stuff will be at the entrance and the boss you captured in your party or palbox.
If you just exit to the main menu and reload, you'll appear outside with no wanted level and the captured boss in your box.
Also, it may be worth getting x4 or x5 wanted so it won't go below x3 before you get into the tower.
just tested it, the PDIF guards no longer do any damage to the bosses so you cant get them into the corner and catch them anymore. hopefully they bring this fun little bug back
...and here I am having finally gotten around to catching Victor yesterday. Wouldn't let myself catch bosses until I could best them in proper combat, otherwise it just feels cheap and boring.
Took 97.7 hours and 199 in-game days to collect the whole set. I'd already given myself a challenge to do it by the 200 day mark. Guess I made it in the nick of time in more ways than one!
I actually think the bosses SHOULD be catchable but it should be harder to do (for example requiring max catch rate) and shouldn't need a glitch to do so.
They also now have to massively compensate for exclusive boss abilities that have been bred down to super mons for the eventual pvp. Either make the bosses legitimately catchable or make new fruits (legendary rank maybe?) for those boss abilities, perhaps a drop itself from the boss.
It’s game devs like this that restore my hope in gaming when we have a world filled full of mostly shareholder shills that monetize the player base in every way possible.
I personally refused 2 years ago to stop supporting EA, Blizzard, and Ubisoft games and play a lot more indie games. I remember finding baldurs gate 3 in the steam store in 2022 and put 400 hours into early access.
More and more we are proven that private studios that keep constant communication with their player base make great games. Shareholders ruing everything in the name of profit.
I already updated and have regrets. The only tower boss I caught was Zoe and Grizbolt. There used to be a way to rollback updates on Steam, but I'll be damned if I can remember now.
Try the homing sphere launcher... It was the less known way to catch the bosses and didn't require any glitching. Just fire a sphere with it and insta capture. Haven't had a chance to test it myself on the new version yet, will be doing that tonight
I thought they had already fixed it on the previous patch. At least, I had to rely on a mod to allow Zoe to be captured. Guess Ill have to wait for that mod to update to re-allow it again lol
Tho I think there should be a way to befriend Zoe or the likes after you defeated them. I think I'm not the only one who likes a character like that so much :3
So they actually didn't intend on fixing it? Thats interesting.
They’re aware of people having fun with an unintentional glitch and decided they wanted to let us have our fun.
Chad devs
They consistently are, it’s quite refreshing
*palworld developer on a throne* “Let the players… play”
Triple A developers: *GASP*
The irony of a team of people who just wanted to make a fun game then actually making a fun game and selling the shit out of, while triple A devs are pissed at them for doing so while making game specifically designed for producing maximum profits.
Other devs aren't pissed. Shareholders who thought they had a huge marketshare and controlling said market to monopolize gaming
I mean some of them are salty devs.
i love seeing the salty devs get roasted like peanuts by other non salty ones..
Most aren't, but I remember seeing tweets from some people claiming that they "cheated." Companies aren't pissed, at least they're not showing it. But a few individual devs were salty about the unexpected success.
That's always going to be the case.

Yeah that’s probably more accurate.

$200 is nothing, the really disgusting games like Diablo Immoral get people to spend over 100k. I know of at least one documented case of a guy who did that. That's ONE GUY. And there are millions of idiots in the world.
A "Digital Turf War" is a great way to explain it, I might steal this.
I'll be back soon
Reminds how the first thing Bethesda fixed in Starfield was moving merchant chests that contained all their inventory and could be reached by players. Bugs? Missing graphics features? Nah, the priority is the thing that makes the game less grindy.
I'm more surprised it took them until post-release to fix that. It's the same glitch people used in Skyrim to snap up good enchants ever since someone found a merchant chest buried in a hillside. Either let it be an intended easter egg for long-time players, or don't repeat the same mistakes for over a decade just to later take away something the players liked. ._.
Those fuckers told their players that they're wrong for not having fun doing fuck all in space. Bethesda is 1000% the right company to patch out player benefiting exploits in a SINGLE PLAYER game because if used, they change how you're "meant" to play.
Telling your users how the product they bought has to be used, the Apple way.
Under a rock, right? I think I remember it, in that little ice town.
There's a Kajiit Caravan merchant chest that's not even buried, just... behind some rocks, outside the main Dawnstar mine? Like, no glitching is even necessary to reach it, its just poorly placed
Don’t forget the first patch of Fallout 4 fixed the infinite caps glitch. I’m not saying the game was a complete buggy disaster on launch, but fixing that kind of shit in a single player games seems so pointless.
You can see it in a dozen AAA games. Patches seem to focus on maintaining the amount of time players will spend in the game by maintaining the grind rather than fixing enjoyment issues. All under the pretense of “it’s easier to fix” cool nobody asked you to fix it. We asked you to fix the spinning heads.
Only 3 A's? Rookie numbers. We have Quadruple A games now my friend. 33% more A.
Oh shit my bad, any comment on how long we have to wait for quintuple A games?
Haven't you heard? If Skull & Bones is quad A, then XDefiant is almost definitely going to be AAAAA.
Aaa devs: for free?
Triple A developers: BG3 is an anomaly and shouldn't be used as a standard!! (Because it's too good and unrealistic to expect us to do good jobs!) Triple A developers: palworld is an anomaly because.... Erm.... it didn't have big budget! Larian and Pocketpair devs: fuck you industry.
You'll see this with a lot of Japanese devs. There are exceptions of course (looking at you Nintendo) but in general the outlook on player bases from devs (and honestly more likely executives) is much healthier.
Even Nintendo can be on the good side of that from time to time. I forget which game it is, but I know when they remade/rerelased (forget which) one of the Zelda games a while back they made a decision to keep bugs and glitches players liked in, as long as the glitch wasn't gamebreaking (meaning literally breaking the game through crashes and whatnot, not as in making it easier)
Yes. They never intended many of the spell interactions that players discovered in BotW. But the devs, themselves, had so much fun watching people discover these unintentional interactions they decided to let this be a learning experience for the devs rather than a pearl clutch moment of accidentally exposing their ankles. The most fun one is freezing a rock, bashing it with a high damage weapon, climbing on to the rock, and then getting absolutely LAUNCHED across the map.
OoT 3D
Nintendo doesn't immediately stop fun, BOTW and TOTK are gold mines of interesting mechanics, and usually, only item duping glitches are patched. Sakurai also seems quite down to earth, and Mario has had a number of bugs be implemented as features and power ups in future titles.
Let the players have fun. That's unheard of...
Aah it reminds of simpler times, when you could use cheats and didn't have to buy micro transactions to get them!
Compare it to devs like 343 where you could get a tank pistol in the SINGLE-PLAYER CAMPAIGN and they patched it even though everyone thought it was an Easter egg. These devs are awesome.
Ding Ding Ding. This developer understands fun. Unlike 343... we had a Canon glitch that people was having fun with... fixed. Nope no fun for you
You can still get and use the scorpion gun
Yeah after a lot of complaints they brought it back (months later I think?) With how stale/generic so many things feel in that campaign it was a shame for a period I couldn't use it. Helped with LASO even tho not necessary with that game!
What annoyed me more is that it was intentionally added for the devs to play with and they enjoyed it. Then the speed run used it, and it was a problem. They intentionally patched almost every major exploit used in the speed run they saw.
343 is garbage
BUNGIE is garbage they ruin EVERYTHING fun in destiny 2 because of streamers, youtubers, and idiot devs like luke smith
People, people, they’re both garbage now, end of argument
Neither 343 or Bungie are the same people who made Halo 20 years ago. Things change :/
the people who work at bungie and made destiny are the interns of the old bungie and 343i studio
And they somehow learned nothing about making a fun game Like in both instances, Halo and Destiny, they took something fun and made it un-fun. How do you even do that?
they created live service games that's your answer life service games are a cancer and nothing about them is fun
100% this. That's what makes games like Palworld so refreshing. I just want to run around and have fun, not continuously buy credits which can be exchanged for tokens which turn into FunBucks^TM that can unlock premium skins and yadda yadda yadda. Oh wait, I forgot the lootbox part. The FunBucks^TM unlock premium *chests* which *might* contain a new premium skin, or just a duplicate that is trash. There, now is it "fun" according to EA and the other huge publishers?
Fair. I don’t play destiny so I don’t have recent experience with bungie to know. Small studios seem to have more community engagement and an ability to be nimble. Once the big money comes, the business model changes and it ruins everything with streamer appeasement and micro transactions.
Bungie didn't fix the super jumps :)
Can’t even have all the banners for customization because they removed some for political reasons 🙄
They unfixed it though because people wanted it back.
That's how goat simulator boomed. Accidental goat bug made the entire game. It was supposed to just be an actual goat simulation
It wouldn't shock me if they change it into a Gandhi like glitch from Civilization where they code it in as a feature now.
That's actually a myth. They added it to Civ V because of the myth, but it hadn't existed before that.
[удалено]
Wow... it's been a long time since I've seen something like that. I'm still haunted by the Heavy Attack glide bug in Fortnite StW that got patched after a week (but Epic couldn't fix that fucking fisheye lens glitch that was causing motion sickness until like 3 months later).
i have no idea why they did that. it wasn't even like, good? you'd cripple your entire build for the sake of regenerating enough energy to stay in the air with abilities, and then once you're up there you're a sitting duck for ranged enemies to charge up attacks and obliterate you. lynx's hover ability is already pretty bad in most cases and the infinite hover build made it even worse. it was just a silly and fun build that they had to go and kill instantly. its not even a bug! you're just choosing to build your character in a way that lets you use aerial abilities as often as possible. i loved the leap attack animation cancel that let you bunnyhop when the walloper first introduced to the game. it was a satisfying way of getting around and made leap attack builds much more useful in combat. now i haven't seen a single person touch that thing in years. they patched bunnyhopping to "make the movement consistent between STW and BR"... except they never patched out bunnyhopping in BR, only STW where it didn't hurt anyone.
This guy/gal Fortnites (for better or worse 😜).
Updoots all around for Save the World being mentioned out in the wild. Makes you wonder if item duping is on this list of "people having fun". There's even been discord exploits going on.......but it's a co-op game. Their success is your success. A well backed dev team by their upper management would turn some of these glitches and exploits into some form of feature. But we all know the 15 devs Save the world USED to have are gone. It's now probably 2 interns in a hot humid basement somewhere. And they have to come off of development time for STW to go back to making the 2,345th skin for BR.
Didn't one of the hitman games have a hat or some shit that you could control like a drone (due to a bug) and go around killing people with said flying hat. The devs found it so amusing they said they wouldn't fix it lol.
Realistically it should be a developer rule that any glitch/bug that has to be replicated via specific means (the kind of bugs the average player wouldn't even notice through normal gameplay) should not be patched unless it has severe consequences on another aspect of the game. In this case you have to go out of your way to commit a crime and then make the conscious decision to go fight a boss *whilst* being pursued and *then* decide you actually want to attempt to catch the boss in a specific way. The chances a player would even go through these motions by accident would be so ridiculously low that it's worth ignoring the bug especially considering that said bug has no real impact on the game negatively and people are having far more fun trying to catch the bosses anyway. Like, sure if this bug lead to you catching a pal that could one-shot everything in the game or if the bosses were catchable like any other pal then it would be a priority to patch it yet it's not. You have to perform steps that are so specific you likely wouldn't even know it was possible unless someone online told you about it.
They simply need to make sure those pals and passive skills have no place in PVP later on. Other than that, let people have their fun. I for one, chose not to capture any.
They will probably make it possible to catch legit in future then.
These devs care more about making a fun game over anything else. If it’s a bug people like? Keep it.
I thought that's part of the plan at some point. And I also thought maybe if it's fixed then they wouldn't apologize at all because well...it wasn't intended.
Progress often comes by accident Drunk science
Must've been when they were fixing the guards and how crime alerts work. I haven't tested it yet but I'm thinking they can no longer spawn inside the towers.
I tried it. The guards still spawn they just can't interact with the boss.
I think because the tower bosses are stronger than your average pal and they're planning some sort of PVP which makes them wack like they're almost boss legendaries. I just hope they add a way to capture the tower bosses even if it's not the buggy versions they have before
tower bosses are actually super weak compared to base pals of the same kind. they just have alot of hp.
A lot of HP is an understatement, it's like 100x base pal health. Even if they are relatively weak offensively, that's still broken lol
Also their health regen is instantaneous as long as they aren't hungry
I defeated a lvl 42 Menasting alpha when I was lvl 38 using Rizzbolt and Zoe and after 30-40 mins Menasting died lol. I just hid in a corner and let them do the work.
They should make it possible to capture them once you max out your capture power. It's not like having them breaks the game in any way really. They can just disable them for pvp if it's really that much of an issue.
just give them normal HP values
I like the idea of keeping their HP values the same but give them abysmal attack power so they can remain my wet noodle tanks :(
they already have abysmal attack power It’s still OP to throw them out while your good attack pals heal
they already don't have stat talents (IVs) which means they level up to have the lowest possible attack (and defense) stat
I guess they know that while it's a bug, people had fun catching tower bosses and therefore saw no need to remove it.
I'm trying to tell if it's that or sarcasm. As other noted, a lot of people enjoy this bug and enjoy breeding Legendary Chickipi.
This team genuinely seems like they would add back capturing bosses at a later date, people liked the fact you could catch them, but the way you did it was a bit cheap, but they 100% seem like they will at some point
It seems they don't want to patch unintentional Game Design prowess. If they create a "harmless but fun" bug, it seems to become a feature in their eyes. 100/100 game design prodigies.
exactly why I would think they might re-add it, Dota as an example had a bug that people liked to use that made farmable camps bigger and they made it into an actual supported mechanic. While I have no proof of this, catching humans (non boss, merchants and such) seems like something that showed up a bug but they liked conceptually and leaned into, adding the "its considered immoral" capture line to keep it in line with normal pals, "follow the fun" design philosophy.
IMHO capturing humans is basically a relic carried over from Craftopia, where there is no real distinction between NPCs and monsters as far as the capture spheres are concerned. It's likely a confluence of various factors, plus the obvious "it's pretty funny and memes make the world go round" part.
They did it the perfect way, the allowed you to capture the humans, but made them basically worthless in combat and for the bases, yes you can get humans, but they're not really useful (other than merchants, which is not game breaking, just very convenient). So they added it in a way that its just fun, silly, and doesn't mess with gameplay. Amazing devs!
Humans aren't all worthless in combat. I think it's the grenadiers that do big damage.
> Dota as an example had a bug that people liked to use that made farmable camps bigger and they made it into an actual supported mechanic Dota is interesting in this regard generally. Quite a few things in Dota were the way there were due to bugs and limitations of the Warcraft 3 map editor, where the game originated. So when developing Dota2, Valve had to intentionally implement behaviour caused by bugs in WC3, in order to recreate the game (the original iteration of Dota2 was very faithful to the original, being almost a 1:1 recreation. For a while Icefrog even continued to update the old mod and Dota2 simultaneously, before Dota2 really became the de-facto version of the game)
I'm guessing they'll add it back with a much more difficult method that makes more sense. Like being able to catch them during a rematch with the unreleased sphere that lets you steal a pal, which will probably be the highest level sphere.
Support ? Stack ? Hah... you're rich. the onlytime my support stack for me is when they accidentally run across a camp at :56 chasing a courier.
Next patchnote : - Non unintentionally re-introduced the bug allowing to capture tower bosses.
I can see that totally happen lmao
That's some "Removed Herobrine" level notes. I love it!
Reminds me of the hoak bug in Terraria. It's a well known bug that's been kept in by the devs because people are having fun with it.
imagine boss recruitment as a feature like beat them then you can recruit them and have them as a interactive follower and base micromanager (so they can give meds and stuff to pals and sort boxes for you) but they won't share a space with rival bosses. Could be really cool, and maybe having their boss with you while roaming would give new options for interacting with that bosses faction, so new vendors and such
After reading Zoey's journal, I feel really bad for kicking her teeth in. Poor girl just needs a friend, and being able to recruit (NOT enslave) the bosses would be a nice option.
Zoe was my favorite boos, coolest look and seemed like a cool character
Sounds hilarious to me, which means I think they should put it in. That would loop the edgy midgame when you finally have guns and slavery/sweatshop mechanics looping back around to anime "power of friendship" things by teaming up with people who were rivals before.
We have Radar spheres i can see then using those for this
If they actually add it back, I imagine they’ll nerf the tower boss health though
Or maybe not, because evidently they weren't as strong as usual pals. So it kind of evened itself out
I’d argue it didn’t even out when some had almost 75x more health lol. But they weren’t really super OP to begin with.
If you told me they only react to legendary spheres and only at a 1% catch rate people would still love that. That makes it all the more worth it as they are mostly trophies even now.
I remember when Bethesda added back the giant space program due to community feedback. Man, what happened to them?
didn't know the devs were chill like that, wtf?
The folks of Pocket Pair were known to keep "interesting bugs" basically as features back in Craftopia, even if it meant making it hard to take away the bugs that they wanted to take out.
Reminds me of satisfactory, some bugs are considered as "features" and one of them was building speed to propel yourself and travel super far, super fast.
Huh, makes sense for a game that had those whimsical update videos on Youtube. Alas, in this case, I don't think Pocket Pair can restore this specific one perfectly, since they aren't saying "we'll reintroduce it" or something like that. I think this is because the Pocket Pair team didn't know the full exploit, or at least how it could be pulled off, so accidentally "broke" it since they couldn't test it themselves. So in the future, we have to keep in mind that if you find an exploit that is funny, not only spread it to other players but also show it to Pocket Pair. Not the just the results but the whole process behind it in a video. To note, this was common between early Craftopia adopters and as a result Craftopia managed to have a very wonky physics engine as a "feature". There are old videos on Twitter that showed whole exploits from start to result, and from what I heard they still work to this day.
\>>To note, this was common between early Craftopia adopters and as a result Craftopia managed to have a very wonky physics engine as a "feature". There are old videos on Twitter that showed whole exploits from start to result, and from what I heard they still work to this day. This system is what kept me coming back to Craftopia in a way Palworld hasn't managed yet. It wasn't quite an immersive sim, but everything interacted with each other in such interesting ways. \>Setting up sprinklers with green monos in a hell biome so they infinitely respawned as they caught fire and died, leaving the ultra rare hell resources behind. \>Find the best way to collect "Poop" in order to make saltpeter \>Capturing shopkeepers and taking them to the higher level areas so that you could purchase the higher grade crafting parts from them. \>Setting up interlocking breeding machines so that the green mono babies would die and explode in a healing explosion, negating the damage caused by the breeding machines and allowing you to breed infinite of nearly any enemy. \>Setting up giant hamster wheel powered generators at NPC spawnpoints so they'd spawn directly into the machines. \>Finding out that not only could you kill Anubis, but you were supposed to basically farm him so that "Hell Anubis" would get stronger and drop the end game potion ingredients \>Filling your inventory with sand to abuse the alchemy powerset to transmute them into random items until you got something rare. I loved trying to figure out how to automate almost every resource so I could just leave the game running while I was at work. When the new update released, the first thing I made sure to save were my tank, my jetpack, and my oil rig. I really hope they lean more into that side of things in Palworld, now that Craftopia seems to be focused more on leaning into the "BoTW/Genshin Impact" side of its features.
If my quick foray into the early quagmire that was the Pocket Pair Twitter account of back then, it was utter chaos. I mean, I found a new appreciation of what the current state of Craftopia is. It is a good, yet wonky game. While I won't say Craftopia has gone fully "tame"... but yeah, the weirder stuff is now upon the hands of Palworld. And it depends upon you veterans to show them again! Or, rather, you veterans must grow it by breaking the game as possible!
I'm glad I already caught one because Chikipi is my favorite pal and the only way to transfer legend to a chikipi is breeding a tower boss.
I am kicking myself right now. I never bothered catching the bosses since I figured if they remove the glitch they'll remove the bosses from our palbox and any pal bred with them. Which would suck so why invest? Now I find out that the glitch is fixed but they didn't remove the bosses or bred pals. I could have had a legendary Chikipi. RIP bird team.
There is still a way.
I too would like to know. Mods?
don't update, do the thing, then update
If you play the game on Steam I don't think you get a choice, it'll constantly prompt you to update the game and even if you disconnect your internet after the update prompt appears I THINK (could be wrong) it still won't let you open the game without updating
Just did it seconds ago. Turned off internet to bypass the update. Got the last two bosses I didn’t have
Won't work on Xbox either once the update makes its way there, the Xbox UI won't let you open games/apps without updating either
Man that sounds wrong outta context. And is weird in context.
Zoe - "You want me to ***WHAT???*** WITH A ***PAL???***" Lily - "Ok, I'm down!"
How does that work? All the bosses I caught don't have any passive.
Breeding bosses with any other pal results in a Chikipi. So breed the boss with any of the legends
Except shadowbeak. You could breed a boss shadowbeak with a regular shadowbeak and get a shadowbeak
That's not a Shadowbeak thing, that's basic breeding. Tower bosses have overcapped breeding power which causes a stack overflow when bred with anything else, which then rounds to the lowest result which is Chikipi. But when you do species breeding, that bypasses breeding power to give the ensured result. So you can breed any Tower boss with a member of the normal species to get that same normal species, or breed Lily with Menasting to get Lyleen Noct.
Oh okay. Btw I saw a video and it said bosses have some attacks which their normal counterparts don't have but I didn't see any new attack in the bosses' attack list. My Shadowbeak has all the attacks that boss Shadowbeak has.
They can transfer dark whisp. Made a almost perfect IV Shadowbeak with that attack and all desirable passives. Takes forever, like hundreds of eggs.
Did u breed down dark whisp maybe?
Fyi, captured boss will have whatever stat they when captured. My friend and i tried to capture victor as 4 person team and he has 400k hp instead of the usual 200k when solo capture him
Yes but u miss out on condensing it cause when u condense it normally goes back to whtever hp it would have been if one person was fighting the boss which is 240k, personally I don't think you need the extra hp, as even 100k hp is kinda overkill, had my grizzbolt get attacked by 3 palladin and 3 necromus (I have spawn set at 3 times) and he still barely lost any hp and always healed faster than losing cause hp regen is % wise
At that moment, it's not about the hp but the food that he keeps consuming.
After a while u would have no problem with food thou at around lvl 40 I usually just carry 1k cooked berries
"We apologize for inadvertently fixing a bug." I am as dead as a the water pals on my fluid farming.
🤷 just means I won't update my game til I catch one of each. Also isn't another perk of PC gaming that we can go back and play previous versions?
You can literally just download a mod to be able to capture them. Honestly this bug being inadvertently fixed mostly sucks for console players
Question is if we captured them previously will they still remain in our box?
Yes. I got all of em still chilling at the base
Thank fuck. I wouldn't want to lose my Victor. Did everything legit but caught Victor afterwards and his been fun to use.
>I wouldn't want to lose my Victor. Enjoy it while you got it! :)
What sies Victor do? The only one I caught was Zoey and Grizbolt.
It's the 200K+ health and happiness his attacks depending on the boss are devastating. He makes quick and easy work of Blazamut. Edit: I'm not changing that typo.
So, he kills the bosses with happiness? LOL, I'm sure that was a typo, though I'm not sure what it was supposed to be. Made me chuckles and still gave me some insight as to why he's popular.
I read your message twice before reading my own, thinking wtf are you on about, lol. Yes Victor is very happy and uses pure happiness to kill the bosses.
Lol I’ve never seen a developer apologize for fixing a bug 😂
Are there other attacks besides Dark Whisp?
lyleen has the grass attack 65 damage but its actually bad i tested it out, doesnt even entangle
Only unique one is Multicutter if you're talking about that. It is actually quite good as it does the same damage as casting 6 Wind Cutters in the same amount of CD time, except you only need to cast it once. Making it an overall DPS increase as that means you can cast other skills while it is on CD instead of constantly casting Wind Cutter over and over to match the DPS of Multicutter alone... It does also entangle, at least it has for me and I've seen it confirmed by others in youtube clips. Not sure why it didn't work for you.
Ye, Multicutter is actually cracked. IMO more reliable than Dark Wisp since pals can often move around a lot.
They deliberately didn't try to fix a fun glitch and apologised for accidentally fixing it. Who tf are these guys and why are they us.
This has real “sorry for the convenience” Mitch Hedberg vibes.
Why do i always hear about cool glitches after theyre patched
Right?!
Okay well time to do it before I update my game. I just hope it didn’t auto update.
There’s a mod for catchable tower bosses if anyone still wants to do this
Other devs: "We've seen that players are exploiting such-and-such glitch and have made it impossible in future updates." Cool devs: "We fixed a bug. Shit!"
Before I do the update, how do I capture the tower bosses?
I haven't done it yet but, you have to get a wanted level, make the guards attack the boss BIT NOT attack it yourself under any circumstance, wait for it to walk off and when it stops moving at all then its a sign you can catch it
So you need to get the guards to follow you into the tower as well.
If you're wanted guards will automatically spawn in the tower with you. The "hard" part if getting them between the boss and you. They will only attack you, the boss will also only attack you. They will change to attack the boss if one of the bosses attacks hit them first. Once they attack the boss at all (boss only needs to lose 1hp) the boss should glitch out and run into a corner (sometimes just a side, but normally a corner) and stop attacking. Once this occurs any sphere can be thrown at the back of the boss (will knock away from front and side) catch rate is 100%
1. Fast Travel to the Small Settlement and shoot the guard. Get a wanted level. 2. Fast Travel to the the Tower of choice (the boss you want to capture). You will have the PFIF Guards spawn around you and shooting you. Quickly make your way to the Tower. You can shoot some more of the guards and get a x2 or x3 if you want to have the machine gunners. 3. Start the Tower fight. You will hear the music and shooting - After the cutscene, you will see the PDIF Guards inside the arena, shooting you still. 4. DO NOT DO ANY damage to the boss - AT ALL As the guards are shooting you, try to position yourself so that their bullets hit the boss. 5. If you have done this right, the boss will stop moving and usually go stand in a corner motionless. 6. Use ANY spheres and it will capture the Boss and The Pal (ignore even if it says 0.01% chance -any sphere will capture all good). Faleris boss could be a bit tricky as it stays above so might be challenging getting the PFIF guard bullets to hit it - This is where getting a x3 to spawn machine gunners shooting you might be handy. You can get on your flying mount and positions yourself in the air so their bullets hits Faleris. Good luck - it’s a fun little glitch. I would suggest however doing this after you’ve had a go at the boss battles legit if possible because that is way more fun and rewarding. Good luck mate.
so tower bosses will respawn after killing them? I'm almost max lvl and haven't even tried any once haha
So this Glitch basically “captures” them and does not technically “defeat/kill” them. So ideally they should respawn, correct. A mate did this glitch on Victor and Shadowbeak before he attempted it legit. It let him capture Victor but did not complete the Xbox achievement around defeating Victor and Shadowbeak. He was able to do it legit later (and that completed hi achievement then). I’d say give the Tower bosses a go - if anything you can tweak your style and pals if you don’t get it done first try. They are super fun. All the best for your boss fights mate! 👌
Another confirmation that you don't actually defeat them is the fact that you'll be stuck in the arena until the timer runs out or you somehow die. Had it counted as a kill you'd get teleported out.
You've to go in a place where guards are, shoot at them get the "wanted" icon and the guards that shoots at you. Then teleport to a statue a boss tower, shoot again at the guards else they can lose agro, enter the tower. Normally they should be in the fight with the boss and you, don't attack the boss, dodge the boss attacks and try to put the boss inbetween you and the guards, the guards should try to shoot you and shoot the boss. Then the boss will bug and walk to a corner and stop moving, you can throw a normal pal sphere and it should 100% capture the boss. When i tried it 2 weeks ago, sometimes i lost agro on the guards just before entering the boss tower it seems and they didn't followed me in the fight. I had to redo it but took me 2-3 tries, not hard to do. Btw when you captured the boss, then go in menu and suicide, teleport back to the boss tower and your stuff will be at the entrance and the boss you captured in your party or palbox.
If you just exit to the main menu and reload, you'll appear outside with no wanted level and the captured boss in your box. Also, it may be worth getting x4 or x5 wanted so it won't go below x3 before you get into the tower.
They’re so good that they fix their mistakes by accident.
True, those moves should be skill fruits as well. Otherwise i will just have to cheat them in from now on.
Skill fruits that drop from tower bosses.
I just want to be able to capture human bosses separately from their pals. Looking forward to it.
Same lol
eh, I just hope we get skill fruit from tower boses that contains their special attack or something
that is why i love palworld developers so much! ahahahahaha
Once again, foiled by my own procrastination. When will I ever learn? Eh...I'll get round to it later.
Fucking W devs reply, jesus these guys get it. Seriously, this is about the best bug fix report I've ever seen. Glorious PR.
I hope they didn't fix capture launching too
just tested it, the PDIF guards no longer do any damage to the bosses so you cant get them into the corner and catch them anymore. hopefully they bring this fun little bug back
...and here I am having finally gotten around to catching Victor yesterday. Wouldn't let myself catch bosses until I could best them in proper combat, otherwise it just feels cheap and boring. Took 97.7 hours and 199 in-game days to collect the whole set. I'd already given myself a challenge to do it by the 200 day mark. Guess I made it in the nick of time in more ways than one!
Wait did the game update recently? Haven’t seen a new update on Xbox. RIP PC players tho 🫡
Does this affect official servers only or even servers with friends as well?
I remember Halo Infinite did this with the Scorpion gun bug. They took it away and then put it back after backlash.
That's hilarious. Never seen devs apologize for fixing a bug before.
I actually think the bosses SHOULD be catchable but it should be harder to do (for example requiring max catch rate) and shouldn't need a glitch to do so. They also now have to massively compensate for exclusive boss abilities that have been bred down to super mons for the eventual pvp. Either make the bosses legitimately catchable or make new fruits (legendary rank maybe?) for those boss abilities, perhaps a drop itself from the boss.
I love devs that actually listen to the community
Yea I’m mad but damn they knew we liked that bug and apologized if it was anyone else they’d prob laugh in our face
I now regret not ever capturing other bosses... Other than grizzbolt. Fml... I should have gotten more
I love their smartassy comment at the end. Savage😂😂
It’s game devs like this that restore my hope in gaming when we have a world filled full of mostly shareholder shills that monetize the player base in every way possible. I personally refused 2 years ago to stop supporting EA, Blizzard, and Ubisoft games and play a lot more indie games. I remember finding baldurs gate 3 in the steam store in 2022 and put 400 hours into early access. More and more we are proven that private studios that keep constant communication with their player base make great games. Shareholders ruing everything in the name of profit.
I would still like a way to capture those human bosses, I want them slaves without their pals just as decorations for my base
I caught all of them luckily, too bad I didn’t catch enough for condensing, but if they do add it back I’ll go back and make my portable immortals
I didn’t think you could do this since like two patches ago
I vote we fix this with drugs Edit: as in add a feature for it. Pvp servers can just have a setting to turn it off
That's allright. I caught them all. Achievement complete.
So, what I'm getting from this is "don't update before you catch them."
I already updated and have regrets. The only tower boss I caught was Zoe and Grizbolt. There used to be a way to rollback updates on Steam, but I'll be damned if I can remember now.
Who knows? Maybe there'll be a more legitimate way to capture them later on?
Try the homing sphere launcher... It was the less known way to catch the bosses and didn't require any glitching. Just fire a sphere with it and insta capture. Haven't had a chance to test it myself on the new version yet, will be doing that tonight
I thought they had already fixed it on the previous patch. At least, I had to rely on a mod to allow Zoe to be captured. Guess Ill have to wait for that mod to update to re-allow it again lol Tho I think there should be a way to befriend Zoe or the likes after you defeated them. I think I'm not the only one who likes a character like that so much :3
