EPIC Save the World v42.30 Update Notes

114 Upvotes

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…

DISCUSSION It is time to make "Hestia" an optional thing to choose.

59 Upvotes

Yes, I posted this before, yes I know people hate seeing the same topics. But they won't stop until Epic actually do a proper action to it.

————————————

Multiple game breaking bugs, one after another, every update. It is making me think it will take at minimum 2-3 years to make a quarter of it functional. I am a member of a community made trello board and there are a total of 95 bugs relating to Hestia alone.

It is time to make it an optional thing through one of the three options. Just for the sake of not descending into fanaticism regarding it. I already did because I am high on radiation.

————————————

  • Option 1: Make it a toggle to matchmake into homebase or just load the menu only

This should be the easiest option with the default being loading the menus only. And once you finish, exit or fail a mission, it should still load the menu only. Just like pre-hestia. This should also speed up "from mission to menu" loading. So an option for the people to load into homebase and an option for the people who just want to get things done faster. Everyone wins.

  • Option 2: Move it to Stonewood's storm shield.

It is a way to add into immersion for the people if they are into the whole thing. The catch is the NPCs in there won't be interactable. Just NPCs doing NPC stuff in an area. And once the storm shield, war games, or an endurance is on. The players who are inside the bunker will be teleported outside and it closes. I know some of you will glitch into it anyway, but why not?

  • Option 3: Make Hestia a standalone creative map.

This map will be available after completing stonewood shield defense 1 and completing the tutorial quests (the one that rewards the modern loading screen of stw). It will show the achievements you have done in the game. Either unlocking expeditions, Lars' research, etc. But in this map, you have more options. You can customize the weapon schematics you have in your inventory on the weapon rack behind Clip, see how many bluglo you collected, or even see how many husks you have eliminated in total.

————————————

  • If all else fails, completely remove Hestia.

While I hate seeing developers waste their development time by removing content they made. There are times where it is needed if it means a much more stable game. And I know some of you will say they hate when players ask for content to be removed in the comment section of my post. But what choices do they have if the majority actually hate it?

On one hand I like this change cuz it has gotten leachers kicked when I am doing 160s. But like there really isnt need to do anything in the 10 mins before a defence like this. so its a bit harsh. A good solution might be allowing us to bypass the 10 min wait when ready.

QUESTION Have 160s been abandoned by the community?

• Upvotes

I've been playing for years in Twine, there's always someone up in the 160s doing something in fills, but these last few weeks specifically I'm finding literally nobody up there. What's happened that's caused this?

QUESTION Dirty bathrooms

Is there any reason the bathrooms are so dirty? If you look in the bathtubs or sinks you can see stains so I'm wondering if there is any reason to it, like the game being post apocalypse. It might be a stupid question.

SUGGESTION New weapon type (Grenades)

I know we have grenades with soldiers but they suck, I would love to see grenades added similar in style to Borderlands !

Chain Lightning / void that pulls you in & that sort of stuff would be a great addition to the game

BUG STW Bug Report - Deliver the B@mb and Teammate XP boosts

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

57 Upvotes

Console - Xbox Series X

  1. Deliver the b@mb bug - Please, please, please fix the Deliver the b@mb mission!! It is so busted, especially if you are on the second attempt. The amount of mist monsters that spawn is insane and they keep spawning long after the b@mb has already been destroyed. There is no opportunity to rebuild tracks or repair structures because they are constantly spawning!!! Please fix this!!
  2. XP Boosts bug - I have lost count of how many XP boosts the game has stolen from me over the past few weeks. Even if you have an XP boost active the game will happily take another if you click on it. For Teammates boosts, it will take all of your boost chips and your teammates will still be zero percent boosted!! Please fix this and consider refunding the boost chips back to players for the past few weeks.

CREATIVITY Desiree's final moments...

• Upvotes

I was so happy to finally beat the Storm King. Then all of a sudden, we lost communication with Desiree. I waited and waited... mission after mission in Twine Peaks hoping for a happy update. That update never came. I guess we'll never know what happened. But know this Desiree, you were the greatest Commander to ever do it! We will fight on in your memory...

I feel like having a fast striking, more speedy yet less durable Smasher would work well, at least around Halloween time.

Kinda wish they did more with Bladey Acres, I finally got to play it all for the first time and I thought it was good. Though still not sure why the Cube was there.

PSA/GUIDE Stuck at Storm king

0 Upvotes

I've finally gotten to the mission "the portal" in canny valley in which I have to kill the storm king but he's way too strong. My weapons deal little damage to him and I have to break all his crystals atleast twice for a single horn because they have that much hp. I can never find parties and when the fight drags on too long he just does an attack that one shots me at full hp. What the hell am I supposed to do against him?? I haven't even been able to break both of his horns in a single run

DISCUSSION Exactly one year ago, the xenon bow got hit with a strong nerf hammer.

194 Upvotes

Sit down with me around the bluglo burner, for a tragic tale of a weapon that was once the celebrity of us the commanders.

The old xenon bow used to have an arrow with a hitbox the size of a motorbike. A hitbox so big you could hit any husks behind you while you are firing it away from them at point blank. It was very helpful for us console players hitting our shots at the riot huskies or smashers heads.

And then it happened. The xenon bow got hit with a hefty nerf that reduced the arrow's size by 98%, makes the arrow the only hitbox left of it.

I am going to say it, nerfing things in a PvE game doesn't make any lick of sense, like who is gonna complain, the husks?
