Play-Testing: Maelstrom

Loon Posts: 379 9/15/2013	Hi! Nothing urgent, but when you can get to it: on the Rock, on the card "The brig", the option to empty some cells only works if you have 88 or 89 sailors, not if you have less than that. You might want to take a look at it. -- My main character Krawald can be found at http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Krawald and welcomes all social actions bar photographers.

Lily Fox Posts: 346 9/16/2013	@Loon - That's intentional =) There's another action that works if you have 87 or less. It was designed this way to ensure Sailors never went above 90, before qualities had a Max option, but thanks for speaking up. -- @LilyLayer4 Fallen London character: Lilith B.

Lily Fox Posts: 346 9/18/2013	Alright, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, scoundrels of all ages - I have internet access in my new flat, so development proper can continue! Now where's that cabin boy with my tea? -- @LilyLayer4 Fallen London character: Lilith B. Author of Maelstrom - Play - Discuss Author of City of Phire - Play - Discuss

streetfelineblue Posts: 1459 9/18/2013	That's very good news! I think I touched all of the locations, though currently I mostly cruise between Portdown and Capital fighting pirates on the come and selling liquors on the go XD Say, I think I glimpsed the mention of some sort of Spyglass that should make easier to disengage from pirates. Is that an obtainable item already, or is it to be developed yet? -- Twitter: @streetfelineblu Blue's LiveJournal Blue's Echo Bazaar profile Blue's Night Circus diary Link to Ocelot's Enigma Ambition hint page; PM for clarification.

streetfelineblue Posts: 1459 9/18/2013	OK, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing content. Back to fighting pirates it is, then ^^ EDIT: A small addition: would it be possible to insert a function to buy different quantities of merchandise/supplies? Many times I found myself with, like, 4 points of free cargo space, and I had to choose whether to leave them empty, or use 4 actions to buy things one at a time, all because I could not select the 5x storylet (with Provisions it is worse still, because you buy them 10 at a time :s) edited by streetfelineblue on 9/18/2013 -- Twitter: @streetfelineblu Blue's LiveJournal Blue's Echo Bazaar profile Blue's Night Circus diary Link to Ocelot's Enigma Ambition hint page; PM for clarification.

Lily Fox Posts: 346 9/18/2013	Sadly, there isn't. The version of StoryNexus doesn't support text boxes or drop-down menues, and I don't see anyway to implement something like Fallen London's new bazaar. -- @LilyLayer4 Fallen London character: Lilith B.

streetfelineblue Posts: 1459 9/18/2013	Oh, well, we'll have to do it the old way At least the 20 actions limit does allow to devote some of them to resupplying ^^ -- Twitter: @streetfelineblu Blue's LiveJournal Blue's Echo Bazaar profile Blue's Night Circus diary Link to Ocelot's Enigma Ambition hint page; PM for clarification.

Lily Fox Posts: 346 9/20/2013	Just here to say I'm currently working away on new Open Sky cards and have been carefully thinking about Hull Damage and timber. =) I wouldn't like to give an eta on this update, but let's say 'soon'. -- @LilyLayer4 Fallen London character: Lilith B.

Lily Fox Posts: 346 9/21/2013	UPDATE Here is a major rebalancing of Hull Damage following your feedback. I would rather you were flying around making mischief and money than worrying so much about the unfortunate effects of getting bloodied. To that end, new Open Sky cards mean 'Accidents' comes up less often; Timber is less expensive to buy (but makes you less profit when sold); hull repairs on every island are significantly cheaper. In future updates, you may also be able to buy timber from a second source - the IMS Bastion - at a higher price than Greengrass, of course. -------------------- Notes Five new Open Sky cards 'Accidents' requirement raised to Hull Damage 6. Minimum Hull Damage for more serious effects of 'Accidents' raised to 8. Costs reduced for Hull Damage repair in repair docks. -- @LilyLayer4 Fallen London character: Lilith B.

Blessed Posts: 46 9/24/2013	Quick question, I am seeing players report they are stuck at various locations, seem like a dead end for their characters. So how should players respond to that? Is there a Restart option? -- Fallen London: Address All social interactions are welcome (at least once ...)

Lily Fox Posts: 346 9/24/2013	No-one should be stuck anymore; I've fixed the bugs that caused them to be so and put 'nets' in place to catch when people do end up outside the play zone. Previously, players could find themselves effectively marooned on an island because of hull damage, but the repair costs are now not so prohibitive. There isn't an actual restart function - beyond certain catastrophic failures like maxing out hull damage and perma-dying - and I'm loathe to include one. If there's a large demand for it, I'll think about it again. Are you stuck now, Blessed? -- @LilyLayer4 Fallen London character: Lilith B.

Blessed Posts: 46 9/24/2013	No, I have not started playing. I saw you advertising for new Captains (at the 5000 Captains topic). So I browsed at this topic to see how other players fared, looked at the feedback. Many said they were stuck so I felt it best to ask is it possible to restart or to rewind a few "moves" to get ourselves out of a bind. Did not seem sensible to start playing and then get frustrated. -- Fallen London: Address All social interactions are welcome (at least once ...)

Gangvann Posts: 9 9/24/2013	Just a bit of the perhaps-obvious: If you want to buy 9 or 8 of a commodity sold in bunches of five or alone: Buy five, sell one (or 2 for 8) then buy another five. Lovely game. Without reading through this whole thing, I am assuming that level 3 is the current maximum? -- Betwixt the form and the content, there lies the utter murk

Lily Fox Posts: 346 9/28/2013	UPDATE Six new cards on the Rock, giving ample opportunity for profit and to build a working relationship with the Navy and the criminal class. Includes one very risky but rewarding choice, the start of a future quest line. -- @LilyLayer4 Fallen London character: Lilith B.

HinterDemGlas Posts: 57 9/29/2013	Set all sails for The Rock, used the new Interactions to repair my ship, accumulated the trust of some more shady characters until the time for a decisive strike arose. Got me an "especially rare" result. I like this subplot, although I have to wonder why it was necessary to raise my connection to the criminal elements that high. Good thing I had some left from my trip to the prison brig... The other cards are mechanically nice and well-written as well, every addition to the rumor economy is welcome, everything you can do in the Open Sky with a skill other than Command is very welcome, and with the lowered repair costs I hopefully don't have to ship around massive amounts of thruster parts just to buy planks ifI go hunt pirates again. Good work! -- A mildmannered gentleman, back with a vengeance.

Catherine Raymond Posts: 2518 10/2/2013	Minor typo. When you're at Steppeholt and you choose the pinned card for the ship repairers, the storylet about purchasing a repair ticket says that it will be good "until you leave Greengrass". -- Cathy Raymond http://fallenlondon.com/Profile/cathyr19355 Catherine Raymond aka Mrs. Rykar Malkus http://fallenlondon.com/Profile/Catherine%20Raymond (Gone NORTH)
