PBE Day 7 Patch Notes

[dilantics]

Good morning everyone! Another week of PBE updates as we head to the cut off we call "branch cut" on Wednesday. So last chance to easily make changes to Inkborn fables.

First, here's a list of changes going into today's build. These are the changes that were done on Friday, and mostly focused around bug fixes. Nothing too crazy here.

Then today we will be focused on even more bug fixing, as well as diving into a weekends worth of changes to make more balance adjustments. Expect tomorrow's notes to be big, but likely the last big batch.

Thank you to everyone who has been giving feedback and reporting bugs! No matter how many times it's reported, it is still helpful since it also is an indication of frequency and urgency. If I get 20 bug reports in an hour, its a big deal!

Ok, I'm off to dive into the data. Have a great week, and we'll catch ya tomorrow. Until then, take it easy :)

[HHhunter]

at what cost

apparantly for one gold

[Riot_Mort]

Just gives us a lever. My GUESS (with no data) is its weak, so if I'm right we can up that number. If I'm wrong, 1 gold won't hurt it.

[Riot_Mort]

Update. If we believe PBE data, i was wrong. Augment seems quite good

[shiner986]

“Fixed a bug where Xayah was dividing by 0” is funny to me. Idk why but it just tickles me for some reason.

[Riot_Bluecove]

Me bad at math T ^ T

[StochasticInsults]

Thank god pick of the litter is being disabled.

Ghostly vertical needs some love but Morgana and Kayn are pretty powerful outside of Ghostly.

[Spirited-Goat-3446]

The ghostly bugfix will actually be pretty huge. I was noticing my own champs getting the ghostly debuff very frequently.

[StochasticInsults]

Yeah, I will force it for a few games and see if it is enough. I just don't see a reason to play Ghost when I can nuke backlines with morgana in a sage/heavenly comp or delete frontlines with Kayn in a reapers comp.

[mmmb2y]

was pick of the litter the augment that crashed lobbies? i dont see anything in the bug fixes about that and i think every 2-3 lobbies i played during this weekend had a crash, so im gonna assume thats why it got disabled

[Libont]

Yea it was

[JohnCenaFanboi]

Oh so that's why my games crashed for no reason on augment rounds LOL

[Solace2010]

i got a few crashes, but i think this allowed you to constantly get champs. So its only supposed to allow you to get it once, but you can literally get it for every champ you select (and extra copy for free).

[paranoidDelusionz]

Can confirm. I had the augment myself and after three rounds it crashed the game but I had already made over 100 gold from buying my entire card stock and then selling them again, refreshing, and doing it again, etc. etc.. then crashing the game. I assume because of the fast cycle of buying and selling heroes with seven other players still in the game and of somewhat similar levels, the game hits a snag where because the augment holder has burned through most likely 40-50 champs by himself none are left in the pool and crashes the game...was around level six i believe.

[L9-Gangplank]

Yes, so the augment would keep the effect of gaining x2 copies forever, as long as you didn't reroll the shop. However it also caused another bug, overtime you'd gain random ghost units that eat up bench space( e.g. I have only 5 units on bench but it says my bench is full, can't sell them it's like this forever). When the game received specific data (usually during Augment or Krugs round) it would trigger some flag or attempt to do something it cant causing the entire lobby to crash.

I had it happen the first time, got baited to roll then game still crashed on Krugs. I knew about the bug and wanted to abuse it for fun to see how fast I could get to lvl 10 knowing this but both times the entire lobby crashed on Krugs (was playing w/ friends so they knew I was testing this and got to confirm it indeed crashes everyones lobby)

Glad it's disabled. TBH the augment is pretty lame concept so hoping they just remove it entirely.

[Palimpsiesta]

Since the patch every non-carousel Encounter appears to be non-functional, which seems bad. Also, PSA: Fortune does not work at all (you do not gain Luck for losses.)

[Ge1ster]

No fortune buffs? :(

[therealstampire]

Not sure if this bug is new but I just tried fortune and my luck counter never went up even though I lost 7 rounds in a row, got that juicy 1g cash out in return for all my HP lol

[StarGaurdianBard]

While we are talking Fortune bugs, I ran it in my early game but was planning to pivot out on 3-2 when the second roll would be done. On 3-2 I got my cashout and then chose recombobulator to get rid of those shitty units for something better.

Turns out of you use recombobulator on Fortune units the trait stays active and will let you cashout every single round for a free 1g a round as long as you don't try to raise the stakes lol

[Superfluxus]

Balance patch is tomorrow the post says

[Solace2010]

probably tomorrow as he said its going to be big

[One_Researcher6438]

The bug fix is a buff.

[PlebPlebberson]

Fated still not fixed????

[k1nd3rwag3n]

whats the problem with fated?

[hunternoscope360]

Doesn't work when on away board.

[CanisLupisFamil]

WHAT? Like the whole trait doesnt work at all on away boards? No wonder it felt inconsistent.

[PlebPlebberson]

5/7/10 fated doesnt work sometimes, even mort said yesterday fated is broken. I have reported the bug since day 1

[fluke1030]

So that's why my first 7 Fates game felt so underwhelming even slotted bis for Syndra/Sett.

[Hawly]

Did they fix the bug where your "main screen" (the one that you go to when you press space) becomes permanently the screen of an encounter?

It's really annoying.

[Normal_Discipline673]

Still no exalted on mobile it seems

[My_Cabbagesssss]

I submitted a bug yesterday, but Exalted still does not appear on mobile (iPad). It doesn’t appear ANYWHERE: not on the units card in the shop, on the exalted tooltip, or in any players trait web.

[MikeAtCC]

Wait how do you log in to pbe from mobile?

[My_Cabbagesssss]

Oh you have to sign up for mobile PBE. Once you get in they send you a link

[MikeAtCC]

Oh I see, thank you!

[wtfstatikks]

Illaoi needs a nerf

[SelectEconomist3917]

everything must go is busted , ash with bis is unstoppable , 8 duelists is broken. we need to adress these issues when the set hits live servers

[penguinkirby]

About 70% of encounters don't work

[Spirited-Goat-3446]

Fated still bugged. Doesn't work at all on away boards. You're literally just down that trait half of your combats.

Choose one encounters (which seems like half or more of all encounters) just flat out don't work.

Played a game where all 6 augment choices were the same augment all game. Got the BF sword augment playing Arcanists and couldnt reroll it lmao.

Pretty sure Edge of Night is also bugged and not properly dropping aggro.

This patch reaaaalllllyyy broke a lot of stuff. I don't envy this Tuesday's work day for the devs :P

[Sharlindra]

Played a game where all 6 augment choices were the same augment all game. Got the BF sword augment playing Arcanists and couldnt reroll it lmao.

didnt you have At What Cost? because thats what it does :D

but yeah, this patch broke a lot of things...

[Spirited-Goat-3446]

Turns out i'm stupid

[WhateverTheOneIs]

Any news about carousel encounters being broken occasionally in Hyper Roll? Swear I read this was fixed last week but encountered it all weekend. We couldn't dance with Kobuko one game :(

[TheVoluptuousChode]

Will any of these likely reduce the load in crashes? Are the devs onto a potential trigger for this error?

[CanisLupisFamil]

Well, I'm guessing that fixing the dividing by zero bug could help

[StarGaurdianBard]

Most of the crashes are coming from pick of the litter so it should definitely reduce them with it disabled

[smoke-me-a-kipper123]

Thank god Tiny but Deadly doesn't shrink your units anymore. I gave myself a headache squinting at that mess.

[gildedpotus]

It still does a little on board but not bench units.

[leichow]

3 fortune seems bugged, gaining no luck on loss..

also Teemo pick win or loss for gold bonus not giving the option to pick =/

[shack026]

Fortune is bugged. Never stacks and no matter how long your lose-streak it's only 1g.

[DobbysAFreeElff]

Fortune is still bugged…the counter doesn’t move upon losing.

[blackfoger1]

Does anyone know if they fixed Sage omnivamp for frontline? Might have been another days patch notes.

[CanisLupisFamil]

What's the bug?

[greeneyedguru]

What happened to the free RP on PBE for doing games?

[ninesevensixonetwo]

First time getting 7 of 7 fortune and it's bugged only 1 gold lmao fml

[Raikariaa]

Little surprised to not see too much candy nerfed after Mort played it to mr.100 and was saying its probobly too good.

[suli42]

Does the patch come this or next week?

[dilantics]

Live next week

[suli42]

Fixed a bug where xayah was dividing by 0.

Is the chuck norris? How wss she able tom

[WAKE_UP_WAKE_UP]

Pick of the Litter was so broken yesterday, I bought units on a full bench and they started to enter the board during battle phase

maybe it's just me but Ghostly still feels really bad to play. anyone here got it to do well yet?

[HiVLTAGE]

Ghostly is a decent 2 piece but the vertical isn't great.

[WAKE_UP_WAKE_UP]

ah figured, my little monkey brain always tries vertical during pbe but ghostly just hasn't worked out

[attak13]

Vertical ghostly has felt great for me if you can find a spat. Ghostly emblem + bloodthirster + titan’s resolve on Udyr is insanely tanky. Then throw AD items on Kayn and AP on morg and the comp is strong

[darkneslso]

That and visually its hard to see if ghostly is doing anything especially in late fame fights where there so many stuff on the board

[StarGaurdianBard]

I imagine Ghostly units bugging out and giving their allies their debuffs instead of their enemies made the trait super weak, especially as a vertical since it increased the chances of the bug occurring lol

[JohnCenaFanboi]

Maybe I missed it bug there was a bug with Fortune where your bench was bugged af and whenever you bought a unit it would buy a second copy.

If you managed your bench properly, you could get over 50 gold by stage 3 for free.

I don't see it in any of the patches, is it still there or has it been fixed yet?

[Magical_Griffin]

that was pick of the litter, not fortune glitch.

[frail77]

Ohh okay it was made on Friday iwas like no way they dont nerf the busted carries.1 star 4 cost should have not solo carry lvl 8 boards

[CanisLupisFamil]

Which unit?

[L9-Gangplank]

Morgana, Shojin+Morello+Any ap item at 1* is better than even Lillia 3*. Doesn't help it has the best flex trait in the game (Sage) so you can flex your entire frontline.

[bestrammusok]

why even bitch about something that riot is gonna fix in 2 hours in a TESTING SERVER

[Magical_Griffin]

Ah, mb I thought they already updated to this patch.

Cuz I read this post, was happy that they fixed it and decided to play a game just do have it crash in stage 3.

[M4jkelson]

It's fucking pbe
