It looks like you can only reliably have ONE rare result - one rare success OR one rare failure. I've had a few cases when I've gotten one of each on a branch, but those seem to have been bugs and they didn't work right.

If a quality cap is set below a character's current quality level, what happens if the game attempts to raise or lower the quality?

Perhaps a stupid question, but is there any way to end the game for my character outside of coding up a storylet to do so? That is to say, if I'm playtesting, discover a bug that renders the game unrecoverable, I'd like to be able to just immediately end the game right there and start over. Think of it as a debugging tool.

I made a pinned card at the bottom only visible with the Key of Dreams that says "Kill me" and use it regularly!

OK, I should have thought of that.  Thanks!

Another way is to make your toolkit card as a use able item...if you put it in the item use category you have access to it in all settings.

I'm noticing with the new Rich Effect option, negative numbers suddenly don't show up in the interface--now it says "Change by Rich Effect." (Negative numbers previously entered show up just fine, though--it's only ones I enter now that the changes are in effect.) The mouseover reveals the number it changed by, and the ultimate message is the same.
It's not a huge deal, obviously, but it's a little inconvenient not to be able to see at a glance any more, so I'm wondering if negative numbers are just a casualty of the process or whether they'll get tweaked back at some point.

Hi UrsulaV,
We are aware of the issue with negative numbers and this will be dealt with as soon as possible, thanks for letting us know about it.

I don't see a way to create new areas, although I think I was able to create them in them in the past (since I have four). I can't remember how it used to work because I created the four I have a while ago. I see a button for Add New Setting, but no Add New Area button. I also see this text below the areas I previously created: Echo.Web.Controllers.WorldingEditViewData

Should be on the edit world screen. If not, submit a ticket?

The missing New Area button will reappear after the next patch - but in the meantime, you can use the + button next to the Areas dropdown on storylet editing. It took us a while to notice the button on Worlding was missing, because we normally just use the storylet link!

I didn't know I could create areas from storylets--thanks! That will do the trick. :-)

I've been having this bug for a while, doesn't seem to be patched yet.
Using Chrome, deleting a success branch gives me a general error. Upon refreshing the storylet page, the success branch is still present.

I have been completely unable to create success branches, and unable to delete rares since I started my story. Submitted a bug, absolutely no response.

Confirmed that it also happens using Safari (on a Mac), along with Chrome.

Hello everyone. 2 questions for the developers team.
1) Personaly I dislike the idea that player actions should be somehow limited. I intend to make a world with 0 action cost for all storylets. Basically, people can play and replay until they are fed up. Is such system acceptable concearning your server costs?
2) Can you make a meta-quality for me? The idea is that people, who donated in my first game and unlocked a Nex branch, will get a meta-quality that will give them a discount in my next world. The main problem here is that I am a lazy bastard and there is a probabilty I will not create a second world.

Is there any plan to extend the rich quality effects to requirements on a branch root? It would be awesome to write difficulties such as ... difficulty to cross the narrow bridge is 5+[intoxication]-[tighrope walking skill]-[fearless]-[safety harness]... In this case the base difficulty is 5, but it's harder if you're intoxicated, easier if you leveled up tightrope walking, have a ballsy attitude, and equipped the ropes to create a safety harness.

While there's a way to set a textual description to a quality as well as description to any change, the numerical value still appears when quality is not changed:
The distance is now 6 shaku - you can reach your opponent with a step forward
but
Distance to opponent hasn't changed, because it's lower than 3

So I thought THE TRUTH was supposed to make it possible to *delete* stories, not just consign them to Limbo or Spooky Mormon Hell Dream or wherever, but I created some test cards to play around with options and I keep drawing them even though I (thought I) deleted them--I deleted all of the branches on them, and they no longer show up under Opportunities and Storylets (although they do show up under Recently Edited).

JVH - best way to (faux)delete a storylet is put the Impossible! requirement on the card root. I made an "Impossible" tag to organize and conceal these from the left panel. Occasionally I will try to clean off and re-use an old card instead of making a new one.
Of course the cards will show as recently edited, at least until you do enough work to scroll it off the screen.
