As for duping, yup, they say they’ve fixed bugs that let players duplicate items and gold.
The patch tweaks balance and fixes other bugs and things too, mind. Not all about baddies. Seethe Update 1.0.5 notesfor everything.
Fingers crossed those bans stick.Manyplayershave reported in the past week that wrong’uns have been able to easily dodge bans using Steam Family Sharing. The account which owned the game wasn’t banned, only the throwaway account which gained access through Family Sharing, so people only needed to buy the game once to keep create more accounts after they were banned. Amazon hadsaidthey were aware of this but it might take time. They haven’t specifically announced that they resolved that, butsome reportthat they’re now cracking down on it.
The developers have addressed many common concerns ina new dev blogtoo. They chat about full servers, the state of the economy and plans for future tweaks, concerns about players weaponising behaviour reports to disable enemies during wars, the difficulty of invasions, uncertainty about how Luck works, and security speculation about whether clients or the server have authority over what actually happens in the game. Lots of words on each topic. Well worth a read for New Worlders.
