Magic tuesday - foxes, sloths, cabinets, oh my!

i.imgur.com/7mU5s.png

I hope you've all brushed up on your fox brushing (get it??), because foxes have finally been discovered in Ur. Time to get some fiber and turn it into cloth with the spindle and loomer; grab them from your local hardware or animal goods vendor.

If foxes aren't up your alley, then perhaps the sloth is more to your liking. Grab some metal rods and prepare to make snails. Sloths love metal.

For those players who have a lot of junk to store, we've reintroduced cabinets. They come in 3 sizes (small, regular and wall) and a variety of designs. Just check your furniture bag next time you're home (You'll need to leave your house and /home again to get them).

Miss your old firebog home? No longer! We've released some new furniture upgrades so your can recreate your authentic bog experience.

So head out to brush some foxes and create some snails. Lets us know what you think and tell us about any bugs you uncover. Go!

Note 1: We're gradually unlocking new areas of the world. This process will take a couple of hours.

---Known Issues---

We are investigating these things:

-Open verb may be available when new Cabinet is in your bag
-Some players may not be getting the Fox Brush or Bait from Ranger
-Some cabinets which have more than 16 slots only allow you that many- FIXED
-Rug recipe was removed- not a bug, sorry! 

-Inventory area grows large with pixelated graphic when using fox brush for some players
-Reports of zooming issues near Foxes and Sloths
-Loss of Fiber when canceling spinning action- FIXED
-If you get Fox Brush out before Fox appears, brushing may fail

-Spaceship Cabinet takes two tries to open- FIXED
-Stuck Sloth on Kaha Haha- FIXED
-Keyholders cannot open cabinet- yet.

-Going "back to world" with an open cabinet will show the open cabinet display. Just hit "done" to close it then.

  • Just wanted to report that I LOVE that this takes some actual effort, but that people with older computers or slower connections have basically no hope of ever getting fibers. :(

  • I'm at Mogari Preserve, and a few foxes showed up, but now there haven't been any more for about fifteen minutes.  I left and came back, to no avail.  Bug or feature?

  • Sloth knockers. Freakin awesome. :-)

    Sloth actually eating the metal rods? I think I just died of cute.

  • Wish I had more time to play right now, but work comes first :(

    I do want to say that the sloths are SOOOO cute... I had actually not thought much of the idea of having sloths in the game but they are so much better than I could have ever imagined. (Haven't seen foxes yet so I can't say a yay or nay there yet -- but I'm sure they'll be great too)

  • Also, when I first came upon a ranger, I was zoomed out, and could not zoom back in to read his speech bubble.  I see now that his dialogue was repeated in local chat, but it was very difficult to see if I was clicking the "yes" or "no" option.

  • Will the cabinets be the same as our current ones where we can only have a single stack per slot?
    Posted 8 months ago by Raktivist Subscriber! | Permalink
  • the only bug I've seen is when a sloth is out, I can't feed him by clicking the feed option on the metal rod- I have to drag it.

    and yayness

  • I would just like to say... THANK YOU!!!

    The foxes and sloths are flipping marvellous - love 'em  :0)

  • "I can't feed him by clicking the feed option" - what happens?
    Posted 8 months ago by Bees! Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I noticed a recipe for a rug when I first got my loomer...but now that I have string and fabric, it seems to have gone. I have Fibre Arts II...was seeing rug a temporary bug?

    Am I perhaps meant to practice on my loomer some more to unlock the rug recipe?

  • nothing, bees

  • Feedback!

    Really really need to have a keyboard based option for this.  My ability to quickly select the brush and drag to a fox is basically nil - the fox only stops for less than a second at bait, and inevitably, 5 people are in the way.

    Plus, keyboard purist.  :)

  • cats- me too- I just now am able to see the cabinets in the cabinet tab
    ( first I actually had to click the 63 (your nbr will vary) furniture items area- and scroll all the way to the right to see them . Like how you can see "all" the furniture items. THen after I actually got a cabinet placed placed THEN I could see them in my cabinets tab. I am not sure doing that helped me - or if it was just enough time had elapsed -with the upates rolling in - so that i could see them ). hope it helps ya !

  • The updates and new regions are fantastic!!  I was definitely NOT a fan of having sloths but they are pretty cute and even a little sassy :-)  Great job!!!
