Patch 2.3.2 Ranked Season 3 Is Ending.

[shapesifter13]

Hey Townies!

Today we will be patching and ending Ranked Season 3!

Ranked Season 3:
We will be ending Season 3 and going into off-season for a short time (a few days). Season 4 will be starting soon!

Season 3 of Ranked has gone about how we expected. The Jester change bumped up the win rates of evil roles, and brought down the win rates of of the Town.

We did see the effects that the “Jailor Meta” had at certain tiers of play, and want to make a change for this season to help address this to a degree. The change we plan to make that seemed to get quite a bit of support from one of our Dev Update posts is that the Arsonist will no longer die to the Bodyguard, or traps when they douse someone. The Arsonist has always been one of, if not the slowest, killer in the game. Due to this we feel that time being their major weakness is appropriate. This means that no protective role in the game can stop an Arsonist from dousing, or igniting a player (outside of a Guardian Angel removing a douse). We believe that this threat of being doused, and not being able to be protected, will help prevent powerful roles from claiming early in the game, as they may be killed by the Arsonist. We will be keeping an eye on the actual effect that this change will have on the game, with ranked specifically in mind. We do not believe this change will hurt any other mode to a serious degree.

With Season 3 coming to a close you will be getting rewards based on what rank you achieved. Anyone who received the rank of Gold or above will receive the Golden Doge pet.

Bug Fixes/Improvements:
Fixed an issue with the Queen Skin's Hanging animation looping.
Fixed a stalemate issue with Coven roles and Escort as the only roles left.
The Werewolf no longer has a button to visit himself, if he doesn't target anyone he will still stay home though. If you stay home you will no longer get a message saying "You attacked someone" for selecting yourself, as you can no longer select yourself
Fixed an issue where a revealed Mayor could be healed if transported.
The Witch was removed from the Psychic tutorial message as part of their investigative results.
Fixed an issue that would cause Customization changes to not be saved if you had No Pet selected.
Fixed an issue that allowed players to spoof Jailor Death notes.
Fixed an issue where the Vigilante could sometimes target another player after shooting a Town member.
Fixed an issue that could allow multiple of the same Coven role to spawn in All Any.
Fixed an issue where if the Witch, a Vig, and any other town role were left, if the Vig was controlled to kill the other town member the Town would win, even though the Vig should suicide leaving the Witch.
Fixed an issue where if you were attacked by Medusa, healed, but killed by something that bypasses healing you would still be stoned.
Fixed an issue where if you were poisoned, healed the next night, and poisoned the night you were healed you wouldn't be told you were poisoned again.


Balance Changes:
Arsonist: The Arsonist will no longer be killed when dousing a player protected by a Bodyguard, or a trap. The Bodyguard will not die protecting the target either. The Arsonist has always been one of, if not the slowest, killer in the game. Due to this we feel that time being their major weakness is appropriate. This means that no protective role in the game can stop an Arsonist from dousing, or igniting a player (outside of a Guardian Angel removing a douse).


We are excited to announce a new superhero duo has joined the Town!

ok thank you take it easy

[Mikemk]

Something went wrong with the patch. Game is unplayable, keep lagging out, and others say in chat that they are too

[beybeykess]

I can't load the game up for some reason. I've tried browser and steam.

Edit: Its working now but only on steam.

[scypeer]

I wanted townie skin why can't I get a plat dog at least.

[dyaomaster]

Make taunts available for MP >:(

Season 4 Hype!
Love the arsonist buff. I do think jailor meta will for the most part continue because if the NK is determined to not be the arsonist, it still works. This is definitely a step in the right direction though!

[Tugok]

So what is the point of new season? You barely changed anything.

[Mikemk]

same as other games? New ELO rankings, new awards for active players. As opposed to someone getting a platinum elo, not playing, and continually getting rewards

[BasicFourLife]

Fixed an issue where a revealed Mayor could be healed if transported.

Do you mean if a Transporter Target A and Mayor
Doctor heals Target A
Doctor heals Mayor instead

If so, how is this a bug. I thought the Doctor couldnt select the Mayor instead of his heals not working at all on the Mayor.

[Jerme]

@Basic: The Mayor is not supposed to be healed at all, but currently the Transpoerter and the Witch can make the Doctor heal them. That is not intended afaik.
