@duh8383 The white box thing and the overly sensitive buttons are still on the to-do list, so we'll get there. I couldn't find anything to explain the level discrepancy, so I'm going to attribute it to the older code in the production versions of FR and RR. Once we push out the update of those these will (hopefully) be resolved! As for the avatars, I totally overhauled how those work in order to reduce RAM requirements (not sure if it had that effect or not) and wanted to get it out last night even though it's behaving poorly. My first task of the day is to make them work. Finally, the Pete stuff has been and still is screwy. We had to change the code quite a bit to make sense with server syncing, and we just haven't quite gotten it right yet. Seth's working on it now.
@ulnarevern We're working on the Pete stuff, and Seth has found some key bugs that are likely culprits. The stat/perk info is super helpful. The stats are updated every time you go into the stat page, but the variables that they draw the values from must not be getting updated appropriately. We'll get that fixed! Same deal with Perks. If the perks are being updated frequently, but the variable they use lags behind, then they'll be incorrect regardless. AND there is definitely a Bingo Kills bug. Apparently it was tied to the original Achievement, which only went to 250, and so it maxes out at 250. Sorry about that... I gave you that Perk manually, since you've worked so hard and so fruitlessly at it (and probably should have had it by now anyway)!
During this testing stuff, don't worry if you end up in a backwards incompatible spot. Between the server saving your data and our ability to edit any value on the server, we can fix a lot of things if the server has to be wiped etc. Of course, beta testing is guaranteed to be a frustrating process, but if something is frustrating you to the point of not wanting to participate let us know and we'll try a manual fix if possible.
- We're aware of the Avatar problems (I posted about it above already); it's just in a weird transitional state right now. No worries; it'll be fixed soon!
- There was a GLARING yet simple bug that was causing Pete to be considered alive when he was actually dead. Sort of backwards there.
- The game should now sync your progress with BscotchID quite a bit more frequently.
- The Bingo Kills perk is INDEED BROKEN! It was looking at the Bingo Kills mastery and sending that data to the server, but that mastery is capped at 250. Good eye! That will be fixed in the next push.
- Our code has the Lucky Coin updating every time you pick one up. Not sure what's going on there! Though it sounds like you almost never die, which means you'll never consume the coin, which means you'll never get another one... so that might be why the perk isn't moving...

Bunch of bug fixes! Should no longer have Pete infinitely dying over and over again, and Avatars should now work properly.

Edit: orb doubler restored! Thanks a lot

The base damage of the weapon is just a bit under 1 billion damage points, and the game just don't change anymore (at least it seems).
By the way, the random generation acts weirdly from time to time, like I'll loot 5 doubloon in less than 10 depths and then nothing again for 50 depths. The same goes for Grubby and his ware. I know it's randomized but sometimes it feels like some depth range are more likely to give doubloons/weapons than others. I've no problem about it, just signaling.

After the level ends, would it be possible to make the arrow point to any bonus chests and then to the nearest portal with chest and then to the neatest portal (or both portals)? Would make it easier...
Is it intended that the pen (where dodging does damage through enemies) only works once per enemy per dodge?
Now I'm finally ready!

@BscotchAdam could it be that i created this bug by killing petes reckoning twice? After I killed him the game crashed when I reopened the game i started with him being alive with some hp left but the also with the perk for killing him already unlocked. I selected my new perk and killed him again...
@duh8383 Neat! I've never seen an item get stuck out in space before. Probably a rare fluke, but I'll make a note to double-check the code.
