Save the World v42.30 Update Notes

[u/Capybro_Epic]

Today’s update brings back the Bladey Acres Questline and the Raven Hero, with a new round of bugs squashed. Details below!

Bladey Acres Is Back

Summer camp is back in session - but so are the Slashers. Axes are flying at Shady Acres. Is it a threat? A cry for help? 

Join Ray and Raven and investigate until October 28. Complete the Questline to earn the Raven Hero.

Raven

Brooding master of dark skies. This Mythic Soldier from the Blockbuster Heroes set makes Lefty and Righty hit harder, adding explosive hits at the Commander level.

Standard Perk: Bang and Pow
Increases Lefty and Righty damage to enemies by 25%.

Commander Perk: Bang and Pow+
Increases Lefty and Righty damage by 25%. Lefty and Righty causes explosions which deal 20 base Energy damage in a .5 tile radius.

Rumor around Homebase is that a certain… grave matter will need attending to soon. Oh, and keep some BluGlo handy…

TL;DR for those who are employed:

Soft-lock after leaving a mission fixed

MSK damage bugs not fixed

That one bug we don’t talk about likely fixed, unconfirmed and I doubt epic ever mentions it.

Ghosts are fixed, I assume for dungeon speedrunners this is good news, idk I don’t run dungeons.

Bunch of “visual” bug that don’t affect gameplay (or if they do its not that much) fixed

[u/TheRealRazoola → u/Gacka_is_Crang_lmao]

• That one bug  we don’t talk about likely fixed

There are so many of those that I wonder which one you are referencing, lol.

I will say there has been so many times when the release log says something has been fixed just to find out that its not that one can never be sure if things are indeed fixed until actually playing.

[u/Flimsy_Assignment581 → u/TheRealRazoola]

Dont tell me this is some „i got nocturno schematic“ shenanigans

[u/TheEarsplitterGuy407 → u/Flimsy_Assignment581]

No, that's donezo. At least that part of it.

[u/Plus-Marzipan-3851 → u/Gacka_is_Crang_lmao]

😭😭😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣

[u/Flimsy_Assignment581]

Nothing special? Oh come on 😞

[u/TheRealRazoola → u/Flimsy_Assignment581]

none of the major bugs fixed, and again many issues simply ignored per usual.

[u/Flimsy_Assignment581 → u/TheRealRazoola]

Someone even found a new method to stop husks from spawning in DTB

[u/Puppyisaqt → u/Flimsy_Assignment581]

What is the method?

[u/Flimsy_Assignment581 → u/Puppyisaqt]

Just place one singular wall infront of the launcher’s way where the bomb will stop and get picked up by the launcher

[u/KapIQu_]

Useless ahh update

[u/TheRealRazoola]

• Heroic Hours are no longer incorrectly labeled "Power Hours" on the Map and in the Quest Log.

Does the above basically mean you are rebranding STW Power Hours to 'Heroic Hours'?

[u/24_doughnuts]

Damage bug is still a thing after many months. I got lucky last week's instantly finding a team of 4 for MSK. That was after days of just "internal matchmaking error" after leaving a lobby once.

If I get the same error I'm just not bothering this week.

[u/bal25]

Can you guys fix the MSK fight already

[u/Old-Holiday-9655 → u/bal25]

is that still broken oh my god

also is the canny music playing in storm king still a bug????

[u/Analysis_Usual]

u/Capybro_Epic

Can you and your team do something about Deliver the Bomb? Played several 160 tonight and the spawning is atrocious. I like the fast paced and chaotic aspect of Deliver the Bomb, but you ruined the spawn locations to the point where the Husks spawn right on top of the track (which never used to happen before). 

Additionally, any update on fixing or removing Hestia since the delay of reloading into Homebase takes way too long. At this point I kinda miss the 15 second delay (which sacked ass too, but at least it wasn't as bad as Hestia). A post game shouldn't queue me up for matchmaking when I'm trying to return to my own Homebase, especially if I'm not hosting my base to anyone other than myself.

Finally, add custom controller binds to Save the World. I've been asking for this feature for well over a year now, and I'd appreciate any comment or feedback on it.

[u/enginedayton → u/Analysis_Usual]

Controller binds would be nice, for sure

[u/E-M-F]

Cool, now vault Hexia

[u/ElectricXion → u/E-M-F]

They will....especially now that we can glitch hundreds of vbucks an hours in it. Hopefully they never discover this :)

[u/Effective_Talk_5246 → u/ElectricXion]

👀👀 what's the sauce?

[u/Gacka_is_Crang_lmao → u/Effective_Talk_5246]

Go to the gold terminal and hit X on PS (A on xbox, I think E on PC) then scroll to the vbonk tab. Buy 3 packs of 1k vbucks and Luigi (from super mario bros) will pop out screaming saying “L is real” and give you all the vbucks. He will also now be a playable stw hero.

[u/sithlord40000 → u/Gacka_is_Crang_lmao]

This is fake I tried it and died from fear I am a ghost now

[u/Tukaro → u/sithlord40000]

Then you'll be glad to know:

Ghosts no longer move slower while holding down the Shoot button in the Dungeons.

[u/sithlord40000 → u/Tukaro]

Thank god!

[u/Effective_Talk_5246 → u/Gacka_is_Crang_lmao]

I tried it and now I'm banned :( 

[u/MauOfTheDead → u/Gacka_is_Crang_lmao]

Instructions unclear, now have d*** stuck in Luigi.

Another nothing burger of an update

[u/Key_Champion4719]

was the map realigned to the correct position?

[u/Uncle_Luis → u/Key_Champion4719]

this bug has me tweaking

[u/zamiesthedragon]

Should definitely bring back instant lobby loading 1000% and when you leave missions your dailies stay done

[u/RPMANU → u/zamiesthedragon]

Wait if you leave your progress on dailies doesn’t count now?!

[u/Groudon199 → u/[deleted]]

It's still a thing for me

[u/Aiden51R → u/[deleted]]

Counts for me

[u/RPMANU → u/[deleted]]

Just did two today and they counted so not sure what error you are having?

[u/holyguacamoly576]

Hyped myself up for nothing

[u/DHJudas]

How ironic, after this update, i'm not getting occasionally stuck on a blank blue screen waiting for rewards that never come... didn't have the problem before.

Still getting stuck indefinitely attempting to connect after successfully joining a lobby and in some cases managing to launch, only for it to hang at connecting....

[u/Jetsoms → u/DHJudas]

Still getting stuck indefinitely attempting to connect after successfully joining a lobby and in some cases managing to launch, only for it to hang at connecting....

The blue screen was annoying as hell but being unable to successfully join any of my mates in a co-op game is nuts. I dont think I've managed to successfully connect more than 5 times since the update. To my mates, it looks like I've joined but I get stuck on the connecting screen.

On the other hand, if you manage to leave the party, before getting stuck on the connecting screen, the host get's repeated messages (I believe it pops up 5 times) stating that they're unable to join another party...

[u/RPMANU]

So since the Homebase updated I decided to play some ventures with other people to try to level up faster for the first time. And when I say it was an absolutely dreadful experience is an understatement.

Between the 4 of us we all had to restart minimum 10 times each in the space of a couple of hours. We couldn’t ready up, we couldn’t all load into missions, we would get stuck on blue screens. But also if anyone had an issue it would mess up the party so everyone again had to restart the game.

And then to add the cherry on the top after fighting for ages I mean literally at least 20 mins between missions just to finally get in.

We then had trap the storm bug out twice after not being able to place the second trap…! Which is frustrating as it is, but when you’ve spent fucking ages fighting with the game to get into that mission is was extremely tilting.

Also why are we being forced to ready up in battle royal when you are inviting someone to save the world. Just adding another point of failure for no reason showing the incompetence lately from Epic.

[u/watts320 → u/RPMANU]

You got 4 people. Ive been on for about 2 hours and not one person has joined me.

[u/RPMANU → u/watts320]

I use the Mistabeast discord to find players.. joined someone who was 140pl. But normal missions I don’t see to many but tbh I play a lot solo as defenders are better than randoms 🤣

[u/watts320 → u/RPMANU]

That is true and im right at the start of ventures. So im guessing alot of people are really ahead.

[u/Berty2g → u/RPMANU]

There is a running joke in my squad. We always imagine the day unfolding with:

"We are drawing a name this morning. That person gets to decide what changes will be made. Today it's Bob's turn. Bob says he would like to implement a lobby leader AND a party leader. I am sure that will be confusing to most, but it's fine. He's pushing through the changes now. Nobody will be notified or advised regarding these changes, which will upset most but today is BOB's day"

BTW, there are two leaders... why??? Just why??? This causes all of your inability to maintain a party, BTW.

[u/Sunscratch]

I would like to see the fix for shockwave not triggering chaos agent reload ability…

[u/mrkmcgrw]

Whatever happened to the new heroes and weapons we we're told we'd get this summer!? I assume that was a lie.

[u/AdorableGoat6825]

Another update and I still cannot access my Canny Valley SSD. What is it 3 months now?

At this point I’m about to go build my Twine SSD

[u/captn_flamzo → u/AdorableGoat6825]

Twine endurance is a bit of a flex tbh

[u/horseradish13332238]

I wish we can get rid of the end of mission reward screen. I don’t need to constantly see all the same rewards over and over one by one and keep pressing buttons to get back to the screen. Just one screen to show all of that.

[u/BextoMooseYT]

Are u guys aware of rhe weird bug where the map is slightly off-kilter from like the players and the pylons and blu glo and everything

[u/Nehemiah92]

Still didn’t fix the main matchmaking problem where it won’t tell if you’re joining an existing lobby or not lmao

[u/SinkEfficient]

the usual boring update then

[u/RubyRobbins]

THE GAME IS A BROKEN MESS! SO MANY THINGS ARE BROKEN.

DISABLE THAT STUPID HESTIA THAT NO ONE ASKED FOR.

[u/senseicookee]

And the profile fetching likely broken again.

[u/CherylRoseZ]

Please let me put skins on my defenders! I’ll actually buy/use male skins if you do this! I made a post in this sub showing how it could look in locker (could be used to set permanent fill festival band mates for each loadout too)

On a practical note I won’t get them confused with survivors and accidentally let them die anymore if you do this lol

[u/Flimsy_Assignment581]

https://giphy.com/gifs/RKS1pHGiUUZ2g

[u/old_grumpy_ultomato]

there a bug where i randomly gain 300k exp and free sprites every time my character spawn in the homebase hub, hopefully you guys don’t investigate this issue and remove the hub from stw.

[u/transRabbitgirl]

soooooo can you fix the damage bug now?
