yearh some of the quest can be hard to figour out i was allso comfused when i had that one haahah

well she said fireplace not bonfire ā€¦
Well, Iā€™m stuck again anyway.

I turned on god mode, spawned an Arena champion as a thrall (I always wanted to try her anyway) and went to the volcano, kill all at the forge but Freya was nowhere to be found

I donā€™t have the energy today, maybe Iā€™ll try again tomorrow.

as far as I know he is always in the pub on a normal server, no matter if the event is active or not

yyea their is a time out phase where you just wait 8-12 hours befoire you can go futher as i understand every 12 hours their will be a reset and for my understanding you can go and complete the next taske seh gives you on every reset their is, its the same with fei he allso have a timeout space time before you can go futher with his tasks its annoying their is such a big gab between each mission on frey and Fei

This is the way. I refuse to have a ā€œpurge baseā€ differentiated from my actual base so retooling all their settings is critical. It would be nice if all workers defaulted to passive-withdraw as their behavior on placement.

The current downloadable Beta private server is 1.7.9 from May 2024 and incompatible, any newer one to match the Age of heroes release?

Looks like Wak got to the perks first. Not sure how, lots of us are struggling even getting through the quests.

Spoilers inside!

Edit: Should mention, this does not show the stats of each character at LvL 20

Many benches no longer have stop and play buttons. This has to be intentional for some reason. Adding an appropriate crafter thrall to your base does not change this.

Hereā€™s the list in game EL/S benches that had the buttons and now no longer do:

  • All altars
  • Golem workbench
  • Delving bench
  • Sacrificial stone
  • Shallow Grave
  • Circle of Power
  • All carpenter benches
  • All firebowl cauldrons
  • All alchemist benches
  • Artisan table
  • Torturerā€™s worktable
  • Fermentation barrel
  • Casting table
  • All armorerā€™s benches
  • Tinkerā€™s bench
  • Fluid Press
  • Grinder
  • All Planters
  • All Beehives
  • Tannerā€™s Table

List of benches that still have the button:

  • All furnaces
  • Wheels of Pain
  • All stoves
  • All campfires
  • Dryer
  • All Tanneryā€™s

For some things, ok ya, doesnā€™t really make sense to have a stop/play button. But for many, and arguably all that had them, thereā€™s significant utility to be able to turn off a bench. Especially for WOPs and Altars.

One thing I see here is that the majority of the lighting effects have been removed:

So this means that largely turning off a bench to prevent light seepage out of your base isnā€™t a factorā€¦ but still, why remove the buttons for some things and not others? Why keep the horrendous bright light of the sacrificial stone?

This is all well and good, but is there anything planned to counter those who build under the map?

some benches are very awful with no lights, like casting table for example. Also the golden bikini losed the bright it does not looks like gold anymore, it kind some dark yellow.

If youā€™re playing in offline administrator mode, uncheck ā€œUnlockAllRecipesā€.

Then you should see the menu with the black lotus in Liu-Feiā€™s circle of power.

Can you guys please add some new items to be dismantled in the Improved Dismantling Bench

Items like:
Golem parts
stone , iron and crystal golem parts are useless after you have a thrall limit and if you have a upgrade part you wont will use the downgrade making it useless.
Also for new players dont have the golem knowledge it turn in another useless item until they learn it.
Letting dismantle it will help new players with stone , iron bars and crystal.

Another item are the lower level kits all kits like the repair kits and weapon hilts all they become useless after a time and some other dont have a great use in geral if you let players turn it in wood , hide or iron bars it will have a use aleast for new players and maybe endgame players.

The for last let us stack all papers and pounchs. warpaints and spell pounchs idk why we have to carry 1 slot for every spellpaper or 1 slot for 5 pounch of spellpower
Why i can carry 1000 iron bars and i cant carry aleast 100 spell pounchs?

MANY new players like to stock all it items making lag with loot stocked because they dont know how to use they or they cant use aleast letting they dismantle it items will help they and will make less lags for new players base.

Does not take much to break the live thralls.
Pull the bed or chair out from under them and their cycle is broke.
If they are in a cycle animation; eating setting sleeping, and you grab and move them breaks the cycle.
And lets not getting in to knowing which side of the chair is the front.

Now Iā€™m sure there are people that are enjoying or will enjoy this, but eh. Just something else to prep for and ignore, like the bar.

Seems the companions thing is so bugged out, Iā€™d spike my blood pressure even trying.

And that is it for this update

Going to miss the battle pass.

Ya the lights were nice depending on your playstyle. Thatā€™s sad about the bikini :frowning:

But I am certainly more concerned with the removal of the stop/play button functionalities. WHY.

Since I am currently unable to visit the beta server myself, I would be happy if someone could answer a few questions for me.

  1. In the dev stream it was shown that the Aquilonian Latrine now has an inventory. Since I suspect that players and Thralls can now produce dung, I would be interested to know whether a vanilla Latrine has also made it into the game. Otherwise I would blame the Aquilonian Latrine for p2d (pay to dung!)!

  2. How does kicking visitors out of the tavern work? Do you have to beat the shit out of them to do it?

  3. Do you get Liu Feiā€™s armor as a recipe for crafting after you have won him as a companion? What other recipes are there that we get as a reward. Does Freya also have an armor recipe?

  4. Do craftsmen get the same perks as fighters when you level them up?

  5. In single player, can you speed up the long waiting time for the companion quest by restarting the game?

  6. Are there any new free items like furniture or building parts in the game now that the Battle Pass is being abolished?

Maybe someone can give me answers to my questions. Thanks in any case!

I was going to send him a message to ask how he did this. Does the game have an internal clock or does it use your PCā€™s time? If you adjusted your PCā€™s time, would it fool the game into allowing progression?

Ew. Not just Ew but WTF? Age of Heroes is just playing Trainspotting by rummaging through the toilet? Just made me laugh at the thought of this.

All this giggling and joking about the latrine has to mean something! I would be really, really disappointed (especially as a human being!) if the latrineā€™s inventory had no other purpose than to store something in it, for whatever reason you wanted to do that.

Itā€™s a real shame that DLC objects cannot be tested/used in the beta!

Maybe @Caroll @community would be so kind to answer this question.
