I am happy to announce that the latest expansion to Sleuth: Noir, the Nemesis Hunt, is officially live as of 23:00 server time on September 9th, 2012. That is a full hour AHEAD of the scheduled update time, so first off let me start by thanking Ben for everything he has done to enable this expansion from day 1. He has been very open and supportive in this endeavor, and none of this could have been done without him. So thank you, Ben.

Now, on to the good stuff... how do nemesis hunts work?

If you have captured 3 or more Arch-Villains (10 starting October 1st), you are able to start a Nemesis Hunt. The first step is to head to Shangri-La and talk to the Prince.

...and that is the only step I will give you.

Good luck everyone! There is a special achievement on the line for the first person to capture a Nemesis, so get to it...

^ - I always like to say - better to end up with 3 clues after 6 months, then no clues after a year

Tell me this thing doesn't give out repeat clues, please. *cocks an eyebrow and tries to not even THINK of that possibility anymore*

Very important bug:

I got three tasks from a single AI case with a nemesis twist today. This implies that anyone can

* do multiple tasks at a time
* choose among these tasks those that s/he sees best fit in terms of travel costs, level of hardness etc.

if they do not sell the gear they are awarded by a Nemesis case as soon as they solve the case, but instead keep making the same accusation as many times as they desire.

There have been other bugs and glitches in the game (easy cases with a twist, changing number of Cairo cave exploration trials for Steepers people, etc) and by far this seems to be one that is most subject to exploitation.

Hope I could clearly state the problem and the report makes sense. I think this hunt should itself be a beta test or whatever you guys call it.

This, of course, is given that I assume all these three or x number of tasks for that matter, once completed, count as separate successful missions rather than one.

whilst I can't speak to what Eden is talking about, if you mean duplicate task in that one of your missions asks you to do something that you've already done in a previous mission eg 'deliver a Rasputin's Egg to the Hypothetical Software's offices', that'll happen. The amount of missions / tasks you need to complete in order to finish your Nemesis hunt will mean that you'll more than likely hit the same mission / task again at some point. And it's all random so you might get the same mission / task twice in a row even.

lol.

Update - Just copying and pasting what I have written in our agency thread-:

"I still haven't finished any of the 3 extra tasks, they can still be seen on my profile page but I get different clues each time I visit the townies where these tasks were given.

This means I not only get free tasks but also free clues!! This is bad. Let me summarize:

1. You solve an AI nemesis case. You learn which townie to visit for a task .
2. You don't sell the gear.
3. You instead refresh the page and make the accusation again. You get other townies to visit. This goes on for as many times as you want.
4. Now you have X number of tasks. You visit each townie. You see that you have different tasks to complete.
5. You complete one of the tasks. You not only get a clue from the townie who assigned you that task,
6. But you also visit the other X-1 number of townies who gave you a mission and receive clues from them without even finishing the tasks that they assigned.
7. This time on your detective profile page, however, you don't see "get clue from the blah blah townie" anymore, but the extra tasks appear to have remained on the list since unfinished."

...

I have posted these problems here instead of PMing Serges thinking that it would be more functional because other people might have experienced similar things and if so, then all of it could be accumulated here, and particular details might strike as meaningful when viewed together but there hasn't been any similar feedback. Should I, then, PM Serges instead?
