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.

It is as Squirrel says! Ben transferred Noir to a new server and in the progress a number of things broke. For example, the chat, which will have caused major problems by going down in the middle of a Furore (what, this isn't news to any of you right now?)

Anyway, I'm on duty now so I'll get things back on track and then we can go from there.

Okay. It looks to me like things are back on track.

* Server time is now back to Pacific.
* Chat is up and running again.
* Daily turn over has been manually kicked into gear.
* There was a small bug with Aspen's pet growing up (brand new dog).

Please let me know if anything else seems off, and I'll fix that too.

To say sorry for this happening we've extended the subscriptions of everyone who has one by a day. Further to this, Aspen, Jas and Anais have each been given three brass rings (top prize for their Furore). I'll be keeping an eye on the next Furore to make sure it kicks off okay.

Thank you to SS for being so on top of this!

Thanks Yeti and SS as well for your very quick work :D

Yay. Thanks for the help.

I got logged out of the carousel finish line chat by mistake and there is no way back in there :(

Today at the 03:45 furore, Joseph Hollis managed to steal from me twice within the space of seconds. He got both mirror clues (no-one else had them). I thought the bots had a waiting interval between steals just like the rest of us - or is that not the case? I can't remember anything like this happening before.

I don't think the bots have to worry about the interval, though they are limited in the number of steals they can do. It's just bad luck to get robbed twice at once by the same bot.

Oct-12-2017 11:21

Thanks, Yeti. I'd call it 'bad luck and how'. Imagine if all 3 bots did this to you in a furore. Spooky : o

Yes, the bots have some perks but also disadvantages. Even when they have all the passwords it takes them forever to finish.
