A number of bug fixes and adjustments have been popped into the game today with relation to the Boardwalk content.

Significant bug fixes:

* Players who have had problems with Furores kicking them out instead of letting them start should no longer have this problem.

* The Mirror Clues should be displayed properly on the case page.


Significant adjustments:

* There'll now be eight Furores a day, but players are limited to two tickets.

* There's a Furore schedule in the City Hall, so they can be viewed anywhere except Shangri-La.

* An accessory can now be stored almost entirely without complaint with Jonny the cotton candy seller.

* After 40 minutes the Hall of Mirrors will become significantly easier to solve.

* Any players engaging in espionage will now find there's a delay between uses.

* Clues will immediately re-drop after a player finishes the Furore.

* The 'community clue' locations, i.e. the helter skelter, cinema and telescope will potentially change clues with a clue drop, making them worth revisiting.

* It's now only possible to gain one clue at a time from the roller coaster (though you will still have up to three chances to get that one clue).

* If you're the last player standing the big wheel and roller coaster queues will disappear.

* A badly written Furore read me has appeared.

* Furore ticket offers can be turned off from the Options menu on the Detective Page.


As ever please let me know if you spot any bugs/typos. There's good odds I'll be hanging out in chat whilst Furores are going on for the near future, so feel free to drop in there if there's any problems. Happy Sleuthing.

'A badly written Furore read me has appeared'. What do you mean by this Yeti?

May-1-2017 06:55

I mean there's now a Furore FAQ listed on case pages and it's badly written.

I never noticed that there was a Furore FAQ but now I know. Thanks Yeti.

It's only just arrived. You're welcome. :-)

Nice work. Thanks Yeti.

I do wonder about the accessory storage. If it can be stored almost entirely, does that mean Jonny has small lockers and part of our accessory will be sticking out of the locker? 🤔

May-1-2017 07:19

Wow. My sentence really does work both ways.

May-1-2017 08:42

Thanks Yeti!

May-1-2017 10:08

Thanks Yeti! Though I do mourn my strategy of robbing someone blind three times in a row at the very end.

May-1-2017 10:41

You're both very welcome. :-)

Oh I think every winner is going to miss the robbing blind strategy. In fact I imagine when Secret Squirrel sees the change he'll be having stern words with me.

Has it gotten any more difficult to obtain furore tickets? I might be imagining it, but I feel like I haven't gotten tickets despite solving cases left and right! It used to be I'd get them within a couple cases.
