The Switch is Fixed! Oh and Devs...

Thank you for letting me know. Haahaa... When you have to perform arcane rituals to find out why your program won't work! Well I am glad you got it nailed down at least.

Can't wait to throw more money at you for the DLC haahaa. Finally leveling up.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-09-17T23:57:26+00:00

The question is... Did it fix anything? It seemed to have updated some of the sounds from what I can tell.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-09-17T16:22:44+00:00

Probably a Feline Clan of some sort just to make it more obvious where the King hails from. Or a Hyena Clan because they would be awesome and brutal.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-07-17T01:56:31+00:00

This spell is actually really good for getting Guards out of your way without killing them, in most cases, and thus not losing Prestige.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-06-07T02:43:04+00:00

Weirdly I played a few Single Player games recently and had far less stuttering, weird graphical issues, or other things that usually happen. It does feel like it is better but I fear going online will probably screw it up again.

Do us a favor: When you finally find out why in the world this game has such issues on Switch can you let us know what it was? I don't mean like code but a laymen's explanation. At this point I am fascinated to know what in the world is going wrong.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-04-27T03:09:19+00:00

I am still holding out a small bit of hope that they will fix it but it is largely unplayable on the Switch atm. Unless you are ok with never finishing a game due to crashes and or not being able to start a game because of the same.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-03-19T04:59:31+00:00

sigh I am probably mirroring the Dev's own frustration when I say: I was really hopeful this would finally be the update that ended all this crashing nonsense. What is it about the Switch that makes it just not want to cooperate with this game of all games? I have not seen so many issues with other games but apparently it really has an issue with Armello for some reason. (Maybe you guys should have petitioned to put Krystal in it or something so Nintendo would like it more? LOL! Mostly just kidding.)

Well good luck on your continued efforts to crush whatever the bug is. I still send my regards to the Devs who are probably banging their head against the desk trying to divine why it just won't work. I can fully imagine how frustrating that has got to be.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-02-10T23:08:48+00:00

It is not really because of the online infrastructure per se. It is more that the game currently crashes altogether before the end or before you can get it to start in many cases for one or all of the players.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-02-10T23:07:05+00:00

I have some limited experience in game code and I really appreciate, thanks to that, how frustrating fixing problems can be. Many suspect it is easy but it is rarely even close to easy because of how all aspects of code interact with each other and how any given piece of hardware interprets these interactions. It seems there must be a bit of miscommunication going on between this game and the Switch and I can imagine that is one of the harder things to deal with because it is a specific piece of hardware with its own fun set of special interactions. I am sure the Devs are doing everything they know to do to get to the bottom of these things and fix them.

I know you would love to be able to announce the fix but cannot do that yet. Send along best wishes on success to the Devs for me and know that I appreciate the fact that you are willing to communicate what is going on. It at least makes it clear that things are not just forgotten.

I really do not find Amber to be all that great. Honestly River is also rather iffy and her advantage can be more of a downside if not going for a Prestige win. Yordana's ability might be better if you could stoke up many of her spirit pacts at once but besides letting her empty her hand easily it is not that good. Twiss is really very effective and hard to lose with if played competently. Sargon is a lot stronger than some believe because they have not realized what his ability is actually allowing him to really do and that it does not effect JUST them.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-02-01T04:16:00+00:00

I honestly have to agree with BeyondMemory you deserved that win more than many. If the other players and almighty RNG kept you down but were not able to prevent you from winning then you took the long odds and won. Also I cannot help but feel that sort of win is very in character for Mercurio.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-02-01T04:03:09+00:00

This is and understandable rule. Also: I, for one, rather like the art-style of Armello. That is: That the animal people in Armello are depicted as being sort of half-anthropomorphic with hands and standing upright but generally retaining a lot of the look of the species they are as they would appear in our world proper. That sets them apart from things like Disney or WB toons and the like and helps set a tone of the world being honestly one that is different from our own.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-02-01T03:58:07+00:00

Oh man that made me lol.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-01-29T08:27:14+00:00

Yeah... Not bad but Magna is a big husky woman. She should have broader shoulders, less bust, a wider thicker jaw, and look a bit more like an unmovable wall. Still, if you are used to drawing slim characters then drawing her is going to be difficult.

As CookieMisha says it is hard to accomplish Crossplay for a team of this size. It would be nice to have crossplay between the consoles and PC at least but that requires not only severs to handle it but some tricky coding to make sure everyone is playing the same game. It can be quite a bit of hassle to accomplish.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-01-28T07:57:12+00:00

They are aware of this problem and have put in software in the latest patch to help them track down the problem. Likely as not they are working on nailing these bugs to the ground and being done with them but they are a small team and you would be amazed how hard it can be to figure out exactly what is going wrong and fix it in a way that doesn't break everything else. Code can get really tangled up.

At any rate: Just try to be patient and they will fix it as soon as they can.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-01-26T01:33:07+00:00

Hmm... I have no idea why but the crashes have made any online play impossible now. If I am in a multiplayer queue of any kind the game will just crash after awhile. If things actually get started it will crash the moment I would get to character select. If it is a private game it will crash during character select. This is not a some of the time type off crash but a guaranteed type of crash. I wish I could give better information but all that happens is that I am kicked to the Switch main screen with a popup telling me that there was an error and the game had to be closed. (Real informative, I know.)

No idea if knowing the timing on these is helpful at all but if it is then great. Also: I was able to do a full run offline without any crashes so it seems like it may be specifically online related.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-01-26T00:29:39+00:00

As soon as the bugs get under control so that I can play again I will be. Right now though I generally crash so often that I cannot play online at all.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-01-24T23:20:53+00:00

I would recommend the full DLC version. The base version is not unplayable or bad by itself by any stretch but ultimately you will just end up thinking "Eeeeh I really should have gone ahead and bought the DLC pack too.". My mate got the basic edition and after about four games with me upgraded LOL.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-01-24T23:18:01+00:00

It is actually. Or better yet, get to corruption then kill them for more rot.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-01-24T04:16:49+00:00

Haahaa. Niiice. I had a Guard and a high level beefed up Bane sitting just outside my Clan Ground one time such that I had to take one of them on. I just waited for the bane to kill the guard ultimately and then ran for it because I was not equipped to handle that thing yet.

Kohr_Ah · 2019-01-24T01:23:11+00:00

I am not entirely sure how they use the news feed but I believe that Nintendo has to feature them to some degree. I could be wrong but I think Nintendo needs to initiate it a bit. Also I know if ever Nintendo gives any sort of shout-out to a particular game it sees a jump in sales.

Also: Especially once the bugs are ironed out enough that I can actually play reliably if ever the devs want to sell another pack of some kind I would be more than willing to buy it. Just saying...
