Tutorial, Double Merit Point Weekends, and More!

[shapesifter13]

Hey Townies!

There are a few things coming out today! We got a new Tutorial System, Double Merit Point Weekend tech, Theme prices being reduced, and improvements to the explanation of Steam linking. Check out the specifics below!

Tutorial System:

We are introducing a new Tutorial that we hope will help players get a grasp of the game faster than they normally would. This system displays helpful tips and hints as they play through their first game ever, and their first game as each specific role. This new system is much different than our old one that would hold your hand through a pre-determined set of events. The new system will help to guide players through the basic, but won't tell them what to do, or force them to play a certain way. We think this system will do a lot to help keep new players stick around that may have quit due to the game being confusing, and will help players who will stay anyways pick the game up even faster! This is the first run of this new system so there will be bugs, and improvements that can be made, but you can be sure we will make those improvements.

Double Merit Point Weekend Tech:
We have the tech in place to allow for double Merit Point weekends now! Starting at noon on Friday the 13th(spooky) and going until Sunday the 15th at 11:59:59 any Merit Points you would earn will give you 2x the amount. This bonus is not multiplicative with Steam, so Steam users will get 3x Merit Points, not 4x.

Theme Price reductions:

The Holiday, Voxel, and Apocalypse themes will all now cost 2600 Town Points instead of 5200.

Steam linking improvements:

Currently players sometimes have a hard time claiming their Steam rewards as how to claim them is a bit unclear. We have fixed this by creating a pop up that will show up when you log in with the Steam client, but haven't linked your account yet. This pop-up will explain how to go about linking your account to Steam and claiming your rewards.

Bug Fixes:

Amnesiacs can no longer remember cleaned roles

Fixed an instance where a few Neutrals Win conditions were causing the "Return to Homepage" button to not show up.

Improved how we handle situations where a player's username would overlap with their in game name if it was to long.

I didn't realize Amnesiacs being able to remember cleaned roles was a bug.
Looks like a good stuff in this update!

Oh my god, finally! Gone are the days of people saying "I have no idea how this role works" in ranked!

There is no update to fix players's natural stupidity.

What exactly is the point of Double Merit Points when you can't actually use said points for literally anything?

You can use Merit Points for *a lot* of things.

Hey. You can still use Merit Points for scrolls. You can also use them for regular skins, unimportant pets, and all those other rejects at the bottom of the trash heap...

...anyway, scrolls. Yeah. Awesome.

(P.S. I also used Merit Points to play as a Witch in a Witch skin with a black cat who got burned at the stake.)

Cool stuff

"Fixed an instance where a few Neutrals Win conditions were causing the "Return to Homepage" button to not show up." - Finally this is fixed~
Was that everything the new patch contained?
Also I would like to have access to the Tutorial, as I am curious how this works.

It's basically just tips now. Anyone may access it by going to their settings under the "General" tab and selecting to "Show All Tips".

I'm kind of sad that amnesiacs can no longer remember cleaned roles. That was fun to see sometimes not that I ever used it because I wasn't always keen on mystery roles. So I guess it wont affect me too much.

I've connected my account but I'm still waiting ok my 2k town points to be added.

will theme packs ever be purchasable with merit points?

I predict you linked your account way earlier than november/december 2016. That time you already have gotten ~1,3kTP, which means you have already gotten your TP reward and won't get more. Please do nto be greedy :c

Better than nothing. And probably than my suggestion of making everyone complete a game as every role to access ranked.

pls answer my question

[orangeandblack5]

Unlikely at best

[AcidicBlink]

I quite liked the fact that Amnesiacs were able to remember cleaned roles, that way there was an extra way to tell what a cleaned role was, and more options for the amne to choose from, as well as it being a happy mystery.

[angeemanangee]

How far along is the tutorial system? I am willing to test the tutorial system and give feedback if it is required. PM me.

[SpellChecker]

Great work, but what about the reconnect button?

We've been waiting on that for years, and I think it should be in game already.

[oliebollen]

Sounds interesting, hopefully you guys force the new tutorial on all players new and old, there would be some people that could use some extra explanation

[alex1234321]

Time to see how tutorial v2 will work. It'll be Ralozez's first game outside the TG.

You can enable the Tutorial through the settings if you want to see it for yourself.

I don't think this patch is the entirety of 1.6...

What does 1.6 have to do with this?

I don't recall anyone mentioning 1.6 will include a reconnect button...Though if it will, that's great.
