The text for the diary of the dead(and the fate locked option inside) still talks about connections(but the fate locked option still seems to give favours because it’s locked at 7).
I got 1 renown and 7 favours for 26 connected. Looks like the formula this time is something like favours = connected / 3 rounded up with a cap at 7 (same as before), and renown = (connected - 21) / 4 rounded down with a cap at 50, so 221 connected should get you maxed out renown.
If this is right, then the formula is based off of your connected level rather than your connected change points, so you get way more bang for your buck at higher connected levels until you reach the cap. Still seems like a weirdly regressive way of doing things, but oh well.
(For context, see my previous posts here and here. I’ll drop this now.)

Has Going Gentle really been bumped up from locked at Society 5 to locked at Society 50?
Confirmed: I didn’t have Society 50, but had held the card in advance of the rework and then built up my connection to use it.
Are we supposed to lose 750 Nodule of Deep Amber when saving the rubbery man at the carnival?
[quote=NiteBrite]I’m fairly positive it caps at 50 yeah. I’ve heard rumors to that effect for a while for criminal renown, but I am not sure if it’s a hard or soft cap though. Your experience suggests it could be a hard cap.
Edit: out of curiosity, suinicide, what stat would you need to exceed 50 normally if it were possible?

I’m afraid I don’t actually know. I just saw people talking about it when criminals was reworked.
Anyone else having trouble with the dairy of the dead not showing how to increase renown?
[quote=James StAnthony][color=#ff0033]As some of you have noticed, the Connected Tomb-Colonist rework is now finished and live![/color][/quote]Out of curiosity, which Connection is slated for an upgrade next?
Is there already a way to raise renown beyond 5? I don’t see any additional options at the Diary of the Dead. Maybe I’m simply looking in the wrong place?
I see the Renown 5 to 7 action on the Diary now but definitely did not see it earlier today. Refresh and check again?
Checked again and it’s still not there. I’m in the last bracket, though, with my Renown already a little above 20.
If it isn’t changed over the weekend I could send a bug report next week.
I’m having the same issue. Carries across all platforms.
Exciting!
Does anyone know what can be gained with 7 favours?
Also, any idea on the quirk polisher? (Raising and lowering - Daring? Melancholy?)
A word of warning: I just played the Society/Tomb Colonies conflict card, sided with the Tomb Colonist and lost 500 CP(!) Connected Society. Also, I didn’t get any Favours although that might well have been because I had 7 Favours already. There wasn’t any message concerning Favours, though.

The quirk polisher isn’t visible on the card yet (bug?) and like your work on Docks, I’ve made a thread for Tomb Colonies

I have to say, I’m disappointed by the hard cap of 50 Renown. Last year in the thread where Flyte responded to questions about the new connections system (http://community.failbettergames.com/topic20369-favours-and-renown.aspx?Page=1), they had this to say in answer to a question about whether players with exceptionally high connected stats might get a special quality in exchange for the loss of that stat:
I took that last sentence to mean that Renown would not be capped, and thus I continued to increase my favorite connections. Now at least 40 levels of my "Tomb Colonies" stat have vanished into the ether, and at some point a substantial portion of my 500+ "Great Game" connection, which carries a pretty high in-game value, will also be lost without anything to show for it.
I know plans change. It’s really not that big of a deal. But it’s still disappointing.

The quirk polisher has appeared, requiring Watchful 250 to raise Melancholy and lower Daring.
Also there’s now an option to raise Renown once at 15, but it’s currently bugged and seems to be checking for Docks Renown and Favours mistakenly.
Bit of an odd thing: I do have Favors now (6) but my Connected stat (16)is still showing up in my Qualities list.
Yep, as with the previous conversions they’re leaving the original Connected quality untouched for a few days until sure there weren’t any issues in converting.
