So How do we get Points for the Shop?
Winning Games?
Buying with Money?

My understanding is that you can get some coins for winning, but mostly from paying with real life money.

Basically, you can buy some shop items, but if you want everything, you will need to pay up.

[PieGuy]

You get coins for getting achievements, winning, etc.

Winning with harder roles give you more credits.
Staying until the end of the game even when you are dead also gives you credits if I got it right.

good can't wait

[Kuramacona]

When will we be able to start viewing our achievements that we have earned?

i think this is a good idea i hate when people leave

[Xanag]

So for the people who backed to have unlimited points for the shop, is that going to be available to us as soon as the shop is released, or is that going to be added later as well?

[Magnasword2]

THE HYPE IS REAL.

[PyromonkeyGG]

So for the people who backed to have unlimited points for the shop, is that going to be available to us as soon as the shop is released, or is that going to be added later as well?

That will be good to go as soon as the shop hits live. We will be sending out a survey to get everyone account name so we can give you guys platinum status.

I am excited about this one - I was about to make a suggestion yesterday about pets but looks like you guys already thought of it! I like the creativity you put into this game.

[RandyGamer]

Just a little annoying bug which I think you should consider, if you mute the music just before going into a classic/custom lobby in any way, then unmute the music in the lobby, the lobby music will play throughout the entire game, even when you mute the music again, until you refresh the page.

So what about achievements we've already earned?

[Anberu]

So excited about the stalemate detector. No more sitting in the graveyard watching the vet and the killer stare at each other for a week...

But customization and pets make me so excited!

[iggyvolz]

I'm happy this is almost ready, you guys are doing a great job with this! Keep up the good work!

Don't get too attached. Chances are they will be wiped one last time before release.

[Ratjar]

Speaking of achievements, will we at some point be able to view them? I think it might be a good idea to include that functionality.

[TehDreaBear]

Not sure if I'm missing this information, but when should we expect the release of this patch?

[TheScowler]

Do we know about how long the patch will take?

As in minutes, hours, days?

[Feallike]

Yay, i can't wait!!!


Also will the achievement we get before the update be saved??? I really don't want to get kill 3 non towns in a row with jailor again. ;-; That took some great luck.

[TurdPile]

Patches usually only take a few minutes. at most, an hour.

Patch for Live is not for a week or two. This is for the public test realm.

There is another bug that you should be aware of. A bug where the Jester is Neutral Benign, but reads it in-game as Neutral Evil.
