Official Feudalife CHALLENGE feedback Thread

[cheerie132]

well today I had one of the buggier runs: One time I had the "sprinting" bug, one time "trouble reaching server" (malus received tho) and one time I had stuck on "fetching user data" so I reloaded the page and I got the same challenge I had just passed. Very weird today, well it happens every now and then

Hi, you get the same XP regardless of level you assign to giveaway. You can only assign a level as high as your own or lower, but never higher. I find there are lesss "dishonest" members as you climb ranks - less likely to be given negative feedback for no good reason etc. Also in my experience they give feedback slightly faster. No other benefit. See here Giveaways — IndieGala help & documentation portal 1.0 documentation

Not necessarily, people who abuse systems (multi account to grab even more games), or people who abuse from bugs in Indiegala (like some games that are 10 bucks, but need more than 100 points to enter, and so gives 10000 XP to the creator of the giveaway) can climb way faster than others.

I had a "trouble reaching server" error today too (+ a duplicate), so i guess the servers might have been overloaded. No sprinting bug for me, i have no clue how this one happens.

One time I had the "sprinting" bug

No sprinting bug for me, i have no clue how this one happens.

Could you describe this "sprinting" in more detail? Because I'm not sure what you two are talking about here.

Could you describe this "sprinting" in more detail? Because I'm not sure what you two are talking about here.

I don't really understand how video games work but let's try this: standardly, when I press the WASD keys I expect the guy to take a step and for example approach the first tree/rock/plant in a row. During the springing bug, pressing the WASD keys takes me for example to the 3rd plant/tree/rock in a row - the movement is unpredictable and aiming is impossible. But it does not last the WHOLE challenge for me - when it happens, it happens like 2 or 3 times in the challenge. Usually this is accompanied by "empty" strikes or not reacting at all - the plant/tree/rock is highlighted and when you click the mouse the guy either: does nothing or swings but misses even thought the object is properly aligned and higlighted. this is my experience at least, the bug does not seem to be common, the only other person I've seen mention it is Zolivv.

Sure, that can happen. But still, there can't be that many of them that as on lower levels. I don't really care about people who "abuse" the system with those Daedalic games, I'm only mad at the people who give negative feedback for no reason (and yes, those exist, there's a blacklist somewhere on the forum, I read about those users there)

- The mining rock and tree chopping challenge depends on your button click timing, but it's possible.
- The archers are suuuuper random when they hit you or not.
- The problem with most of the challenges lies in the cursor position (mainly in the hoe, grass chopping and watering plantation games), since it mostly depends on where your character is facing then the mouse position. An its position is a little bit clunky, which difficult a loooot the clicking action.

it doesn't depend MOSTLY on where your character is facing, it depends on it ENTIRELY. the cursor is entirely pointless, it could be in the corner of the screen the whole time and there would be no differnce. don't look at the cursor at all

yeah, I had a really bad map once where there were only 32 of them if I remember correctly. But if you have somewhere around 38 at least and save the dark/black ones for last, you can get away with picking them and still win, just save them for absolute last resort

I stand corrected, today I had a map with only 28 good samplings, I don't think that's doable even without malus

 

[ZODIAC]

Today i got really good map on mining with 16 malus, i was short by one rock so about 2-3 seconds short. It was a perfect map so its not possible to win it with 16 malus.
EDIT: I am not giving up on mining though.

I just got the bug right now, and it's exactly how you describe it : sudden sprints, and missed chops, like one in 5. But this time i knew, and i won anyway !
It must be some sort of lag, where touching a key is not registered directly, and a few keys get accumulated and then are played all together, resulting in a sudden sprint.
Sickling was unplayable though.
And then rocks went well, but i had an error exactly like yesterday, then watering went well.

Check out this decadence I just got and lost to a glitch:

I think that's the richest mining challenge I ever got.

So it doesn't visibly skip frames, you just go in straight line further than you intended?
Then I think I get it from time to time in sickling challenge: I usually stop moving whenever a tile of grass is highlighted and only press forward once I'm delivering the second hit to the second tile of grass, however if I keep pressing the movement key and time my right-clicks just right, I sort of do a tiny step between each swing, so when I clear the two tiles in front of me I'm already highlighting the next pair - it's a bit faster, but sometimes I keep walking as if I didn't right-click. Feels like the game has moments, where it struggles to comprehend multiple inputs.

If you start a challenge, get the message explaining the challenge, but then quit, does the challenge wait for you coming back? If so, if you started the challenge with malas, but then quite and come back after the malas has expired, do you have malas?

No, if you quit you stay where you were, with the same challenge. I suppose you wanted to avoid some challenges ? You can't

 

[test]

No, if you quit you stay where you were, with the same challenge. I suppose you wanted to avoid some challenges ? You can't

Nope, that isn't it. For one if I start a challenge and then quit, I still have used the silver then. Meaning if I am waiting for Malas to reset, but in the mean time my silver is going to max out, I'll have more silver latter on. Also if I can't remember what the next challenge in the rotation order, being able to quit the challenge after seeing what it would be to train, could be useful.

 

[FreaKill]

Uh, you specifically asked:

If you start a challenge, get the message explaining the challenge, but then quit, does the challenge wait for you coming back?

And for that question, Zolivv's answer is right - if you don't dismiss the message, and reload the page, you will still have that challenge.

 

[test]

@Frea My question was also whether if you had malas when you start the game and quit and come back latter when your malas resets, would you have malas.

I didn't say Zolivv was wrong about how it worked, but wrong about xir guesses regarding my motivation in asking and thus explained the actual reason for my asking.

 

[cheerie132]

Also if I can't remember what the next challenge in the rotation order, being able to quit the challenge after seeing what it would be to train, could be useful.

Just write the order down somewhere, I have it written on a piece of paper on my desk. It's Archer-sapling picking-hoeing-trees-grass sickling-rock mining-plant watering. The game remembers where you left off, so remember what the last challenge was today and look at your "notes" to see what your first one is gonna be tomorrow or something

if you don't dismiss the message, and reload the page, you will still have that challenge.

yesterday I had something strange happen - failed the mining challenge, clicked play again, but then I got stuck on fetching user data, so I reloaded page and got the mining challenge again. It kind of looked like it didn't remember I played that one already even thought I had dismissed the message (and played the whole challenge until time ran out), but you still may be right about not dismissing the message, I don't know, maybe it was a bug. What I'm trying to say is I had assumed that as long as I don't let time run out on the challenge, I can repeat it, but it appears this is wrong based on what you're saying, so thanks for info to both

I didn't say Zolivv was wrong about how it worked, but wrong about xir guesses regarding my motivation in asking and thus explained the actual reason for my asking.

Ah, We had so much malus discussion lately I must've started to blank it out of my mind. So coming back to original question:

If so, if you started the challenge with malas, but then quite and come back after the malas has expired, do you have malas?

No, you won't still have malus after reset - the game doesn't care if you loaded the challenge to look what's coming up next or not and malus reset just works on a 24 hour timer independently of what you do, except for paying 50 silver per second, but we've already discussed that one.
So whether you finish a hoeing challenge and don't touch the game anymore or then load it again to see that a chopping trees challenge is coming up, there's no difference, the game-state is essentially the same - you'll still get chopping even a week later, unless the developers change the game.

For one if I start a challenge and then quit, I still have used the silver then. Meaning if I am waiting for Malas to reset, but in the mean time my silver is going to max out, I'll have more silver latter on.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to get out of the game here. Unless you're talking about getting a specific challenge to start on after the malus resets? Then yeah, you can absolutely do that by just starting the challenge and reloading the page once you can move. But, considering you started playing fairly recently, why not play anyway to get some practice? You already payed 10 silver either way might as well get some play.

Also if I can't remember what the next challenge in the rotation order, being able to quit the challenge after seeing what it would be to train, could be useful.

Just write the order down somewhere, I have it written on a piece of paper on my desk.

Administration has even written it down for us here

Challenge types and Targets: *

1. Chopping: You need to chope 8 trees in time to beat it.
2. Sickling: You need to cut 60 grass with your sickle to beat it.
3. Mining: Mine 14 rocks with your pickaxe to beat it.
4. Watering: Water 16 plans to win.
5. Fighting: Kill 9 archers to win.
6. Picking: Pick 40 saplings to win. ( watch out for the spiky ones that slow you down )
7. Hoeing: hoe 60 clods to win.

What I'm trying to say is I had assumed that as long as I don't let time run out on the challenge, I can repeat it, but it appears this is wrong based on what you're saying, so thanks for info to both

Oh it would've been so good to be able to make a mistake that you can see will cost you a challenge and just go: "Nope! Reload."

so I reloaded page and got the mining challenge again.

Yeah, that's a rather rare bug in my experience. I once got it after getting the error message after winning a challenge and didn't even get false-malus that time.

 

[YellowHelpfulCreature]

The weird thing about sickling for me is, save for when the malus is really high (for me anyway, like 12-16), I always get, like, 54-56, but can't quite finish it. With no malus, with 4, with 8. I can even sometimes get there at 12. But never a victory...

 

[cheerie132]

trouble reaching server again today, malus received tho never mind, all good anyway

Oh it would've been so good to be able to make a mistake that you can see will cost you a challenge and just go: "Nope! Reload."

I had assumed this because I only tried the following once and I had to repeat the challenge: I got sickling and after like 10 seconds I was like "nope, never gonna win this one, I'll just skip it by reloading" and I got the sickling again. So ever since then I had thought it just works like that but never tried again. This forum is very useful for finding out it's not the case

That's the same thing for me, except with the trees. I can only do 6/8 at every malus except for zero. No idea why, logically if I can do 6/8 at 16 malus I should be able to finish it at 8 malus, but nope. I don't eve try with the grass sickling, I won it like 2x in five months, just too hard for me

 

[Zoliv]

For a moment i thought the positive feedback bonus was back, because i had 12 seconds malus for 4 keys won, but no it was not. It looks like i won a challenge but there must have been a king notice with error that i missed.
