Season 7 (4.1) - Insidious Bugs

8th March, 2013

• New Roleplay texts have been added: (list to be added)
• Watchmen bug fixes:
  • Fixed the Watchmen entering/leaving watch without selection.
  • Certain objects collected for use in a watch or otherwise occasionally disappeared without giving the correct defensive bonus.

  • The defense taking into account the statuses of the watchmen is worked out prior to the attack.
• Construction Sites changes:
  • The Great Moat is no longer a temporary construction.
  • The Gallows is no longer a temporary construction.
  • The Meat Locker no longer requirements blueprints (instead of [unchecked rarity] blueprint).
  • The Water Turrets now gives a 20% bonus to all water weapons used during the nights watch.

This page has automatically been added to the to do category for the following reason: the 20% bonus is wrong, confirm what was meant. The page was tagged by: isaaclw

• • The Catapult now gives a 20% bonus for animals used, and also stops watchmen becoming terrified during a watch.
• Blueprints: Ruins in the World Beyond now offer more plans to citizens righteous enough to explore their darkest corners.
• Ghoul changes:
  • Traveller's Corpse and Meaty Bone has a chance to transform citizens into Ghouls.

• "Picto Hunters": Certain Hordes players exploited a glitch involving searching distant ruins for distinctions, committing suicide with cyanide or dehydration, and immediately reincarnate into a new town with the gained distinctions. These players are ineligible for the new distinction: Good Guy.
  • The exploited glitch only occurred on Hordes, and so this section is irrelevant to Die2Nite and should not have been included.
