Patch Notes 1.2.1

[PyromonkeyGG]

Hey Townies,

Another patch day has come along and brought along some cool things with it. This patch adds a new and improved chat filter, two new pets, a new skin, some changes to the waterwheel, promotions, and opt-in ads.

Details for everything new can be found below!

Features:

Improved Chat Filter!
* The new chat filter has two tiers of words that are filtered. The first tier contains only the absolutely terrible words such as racial slurs, homophobic slurs, etc. The words in this first tier of the chat filter are completely rejected, and the game will not send that message. If you continue to try to send these message your account will be automatically suspended. The second tier is where the optional part of this filter comes into play. The second tier of the filter contains words that are the words that can be seen as "bad" depending on your views, but these words are not removed all together or replaced with *s, they are instead replaced with different words. It can be turned off in the settings if you do not care about seeing this kind of language.


New Characters
* The Jailor is getting a skin this patch, and he is called the Warden. All of you Jailors out there can now now throw those villains in your jail house with your Jailor skin.


New Pets
* Two new pets are coming with this patch, and both are dinosaurs. We have the T-Rex, and the Triceratops.


Waterwheel Changes
* A portion of the time spent at the Role Selection screen has been moved to the Name Selection screen.


Promotions
* This patch brings an interesting shop feature. The game will now give players special promotions that will give you certain premade bundles that may, or may not be available in the shop normally for a discounted price, but can only be purchased with real money. Players can only receive these promotions once every 24 hours.


Opt-in Ads
* There is now an option to view video ads and you can win up to 100 Town Points. To win Town Points, click the coin button found under the achievements button.


New Report Button
* You can now state the reason why you reported someone, such as harassment, or vulgar language. You can also make comments to go along with the report now.

The backend in the game is already there, we are just working on the website side of it. It is almost ready, it will come out on its own and wont be related to a patch.

Cool, thanks for replying . Looking forward to it

Meh, very underwhelming update.


the new report screen is really good though. but the chat filter is bullshit. it should be deactivated by default and you have the option to activate it not vise-versa.

when are the vampire coming?

"* A portion of the time spent at the Role Selection screen has been moved to the Role Selection screen."
What? XD
Now there's less time in the role "wheel of fortune" and more in that static screen or the other way around?

TRAIL SYSTEM OR RIOT

[Nellyfox]

Relax, Dota. It's almost complete. Just wait, is that hard to ask ?

The pets are adorable. 100% picking one up.

Am I the only one who noticed the conundrum of:
* A portion of the time spent at the Role Selection screen has been moved to the Role Selection screen.

So basically, nothing happened? xD

This chat filter appears to have the ability to interfere with potential information in a player's will. I had not yet disabled the chat filter when I started a Ranked match. The Jailor died night 1 with the following statement in his will:

"Jailor Corwin Peak gee golly".
After myself and several other people cried out that the Jailor failed to keep a proper account in his will (as he died to an SK), two other players stated that the will to them said he jailed Kindred night 1.

When Kindred died he was, indeed, the SK that had been jailed night 1. Additionally, Corwin argued vehemently that he wrote what the latter players claimed to see, presumably the ones who'd already turned off the chat filter.

I requested a screenshot from Corwin to obtain an exact copy of the original text, but he went offline when the game ended. If the chat filter is interfering with will information, it needs to be improved upon.

I was an amnesiac last game I've played and it showed the role I was (framer) at the ending lobby and not amnesiac...

And the only 2 games, for now, I've played since the patch, there was 3 and 4 sk... wonder if it will always be that (in all any mode)

EDIT : my 3rd game was more normal (without a lot of neutral killing)

The new report screen is very good by the way , hopefully it makes things easier for you guys in finding what people have been reported for too.

Don't think the devs give refunds; if one person gets a refund then everyone has to get one to keep it fair.

Also, everyone wishing to report a bug with the patch: make a thread in Bug Reports. Thank you.

Great.. since new update i cant play it anymore on linux.. adobe flash player doesnt support new patch.

Try Google Chrome - Adobe stopped supporting Linux officially ages ago, but Google's Pepper Flash player is still running strong.

The chat filter is awful. I can understand censoring racial slurs or slurs against gay people, but censoring the words "God", "Jesus", "F***" and other common swears is just childish. This is a game where somebody is literally murdered every day or every night and you decided that swears were worth censoring? Smh -_-

Thanks for your feedback. I actually really like the chat filter and I think it makes the game more fun when everyone isn't just cussing all the time. Also, the filter is optional so you can turn it off if you would like.

[Tormental]

Yeah... super fun.

Pyro fight me. XD
