Phew, it's finally up. Shadow of the Villains has launched.

First of all, we're very sorry for the extended downtime Sunday and Monday. Because our development server died yesterday (down for the count apparently), we lost more than two days worth of work. We had to feverishly redo a bunch of stuff that was already done, and the launch was delayed a bit.

Partially because of that, we also had to drop a couple of features we had been planning to include in this expansion. Not to fear though. We will be adding these in over the next couple of weeks. We'll give you a few more details on that stuff soon.

Some of the puzzles involving Shangri La and Villain hunts are quite hard, so don't be too discouraged if you have trouble with them at first. Please note: we don't want any spoiler info involving Shangri La, the Prince or Villain Hunts posted on the City Hall boards. Any such info will be deleted by the mods.

Thanks everybody, and enjoy the expansion.

I have also noticed something else that I have never seen mentioned on the boards. My faction standings change when I do finally solve a case but the lady with the magnifying glass never shows up.

As far as the faction standings, the normal twists are replaced by the villain twists, but the faction affects are still applied. So check your case tab whenever you see the twist to find out if it's a faction case. Not that it would make you quit the case, especially if you were going for that elusive final clue.

Barry, that just sounds like a crappy run of luck to me...I didn't notice any appreciable jump in the difficulty of AI cases when I was villain hunting.

Barry, its probably just bad luck. For the last couple of days all my suspects clam very fast, the townies wont talk to me and if Im lucky and I do solve the case then my client is guilty. So Im loosing money...

But usually after this Ill get a string of cases where the PE is all at my contact right from the start. Dont know why this is but good luck and bad luck caes come in strings in this game. So just hold on.
Im trying that too :)

Thanks, everyone, for responding.

reda: I guess overall I've been lucky because I have also experienced runs of bad luck cases but they were never more than 3 or 4 in a row and never more than 6 a day. Unfortunately, my frustration level exceeded my patience so I purposely failed my search to end my pain. I'm not sure I will attempt a hunt again because, between the repeating clues and the incessant unsolvable cases, it left a very bad taste in my mouth.

I think I'll try spelunking next.

I know what you mean. It seems like I suffer from repeating clue fluke. I mean look at Lilrach, she did so many hunts while Im stilkl on my 4th... But Im not giving up!
