Could have been worse. Like, “I believe this judge has a sense of humor.”

Week Ending 20th June
- To prevent softlocks and unintended behaviour during certain stories, some story-specific items of equipment can no longer be loaned to an Agent:
- Shattered Mask;
- The full suite of temporary paisley items from the ‘Paisley’ Exceptional Story;,
- The temporary urchin-gangs from ‘The Chimney-Pot War’.
- (The ability to convince your Agent they might be spiders remains unchanged.)
- Once considered unthinkable, we have removed the ability to log in using Twitter.
- Opportunity Cards with High Urgency (which are guaranteed to be drawn immediately if their requirements are met) are now signalled with a tooltip, similar to card Frequency.

See! Even the software revolts against the idea of Maximilian as ruler of Burgundy! :-)
Week Ending 4th July
- Owners of 5-card lodgings (A Spire Emporium of the Bazaar, A Sanctum at the Brass Embassy, A Suite at the Royal Bethlehem Hotel) now possess unique lodging headers; these can also be set as profile page headers.
- Added a new card to the London opportunity deck, ‘Consuming Desire’.
- This is an additional source of actions for early-game players progressing through the MYN storylines.
- Reaching a MYN milestone now gives a point of Consuming Desire, which can be spent on this card for a weekly 10-action refresh.
- It will stop appearing once players have completed all four Making Your Name storylines.
- Firmament: Players with Tracklayers’ Cities that use the Manager’s Double as their foundations can now properly call upon the Manager during the Grand Hunt.
- It is no longer possible to raise your Dangerous above your current stat cap in the Flint Exceptional Story.
- We realise that this oddity has stood for a long time, but the existence of a singular way to break the stat cap for a single stat has made and continues to make balancing difficult, and creates a significant support burden for the team.
- We have not removed or decreased anybody’s stats as a result of this, but we will not be restoring any lost levels of Dangerous as a support action.
- The 51 players who had previously played the relevant branch and had their Dangerous above 230 at the time of this change have been granted a unique quality.

It would be so funny if they lost that quality if their Dangerous drops below 230 too… It would be a hilarious scrapbook vanity to keep at a cost of not going to Nadir forever lol

I noticed that my glim-encrusted spider pope was much less valuable this week. When did that happen?
[edit] I mean when’s did the counter-church modifier change, not when did I sell a spider pope.
The glim-encrusted spider popes I sold this week were worth the same as always, i.e. 79 surface blooms and 40 rumours of the upper River, for a total of 297.5€.
Holy thighs were nerfed in February 2024, but that was before the introduction of glim-encrusted carapaces with Firmament.
Week Ending 18th July
- Mobile devices use the compatibility map by default.
- Fixed an issue where clicking on the notification that an Agent has returned would open a new browser tab.
- Fixed an issue on mobile where in-game alerts cover the controls at the bottom of the screen.

Well. That does not sound menacing at all.
Coupled with the previous notes on this year’s Estival, it would seem Hell’s going to be let loose upon us!
Wonder if there’ll be any interesting lore/options for those with a Brazen Fate.
Looking forward to the ride as always!

- (Belated) Minor visual updates to the Bazaar and Royal Bethlehem five-card lodgings headers.

- Removed some outdated information about Menace equipment from instructional text in the Tomb-Colonies.
- Fixed an issue with the trailer of the latest Exceptional Story.
- Estival: various fixes to ensure reality is only broken in the correct ways:
- Fixed an issue that was causing Rogue Laws to be jumpier than they should be.
- Repeatedly investigating the Affair of the Severed Twelve eventually becomes less profitable.
- Added more guidance on navigating the event’s puzzles and challenges.
- To address the upending of certain metaphysical fundamentals, a provision of ‘soothing’ ‘tea’ can be found in the Opportunity Deck.
- A thorough search for elephants was conducted; none were found, as expected.
