Hoard Patch Details and Free Level Coming in a Couple Weeks
Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido),


Yesterday Nov 22, 2010 14:04

Hoard has been out for two weeks but the game was not entirely without its rough edges, and there are a few issues that needed some fixing.

The patch will include:

  • Eye Strain Begone — We’ll be increasing tutorial and badge text size for less squintyness. 20/10 vision no longer required!
  • Lasting Friendship — The multiplayer lobby will now be persistent. After finishing a game, you’ll return to the game setup lobby so you can easily play again with the same people. If you want to back out and de-friend them, that’s now on your conscience!
  • Leaderboard Glitch No-More — Certain co-op games were not posting leaderboard scores correctly. This sometimes leads to improper scores being posted on the main HOARD Rank leaderboard. That will be fixed, and although the HOARD Rank leaderboard will be reset, you won’t lose any progress—the first time you play a new game of any type, your HOARD Rank will be reposted without delay!
  • Anti-Royal Bias — This badge wasn’t reliably triggering. We fixed it. Yay!
  • That One Exploit is Fixed — There was a certain little exploit involving a specific power-up that could be abused by some sneaky people, and it is now fixed! We’re not telling!
  • Which Map? — During game setup, some people were getting confused about whether their map selection was confirmed or not. We modified to make it more obvious.
  • A Little This, a Little That — Various tweaks and improvements throughout.

Extras thrown in for good measure (to say thank you to the community)

  • Deathspin — A new HOARD map will be included, absolutely free. Try your hand at surviving in a terrible spiral of DOOOOOM! Check out Deathspiral in the video above.
  • Purple Princesses — Princesses worth 3,000 gold or more will show up in a purple dress (instead of pink), so you can quickly assess which lady you’d like to pursue even in the heat of the battle.
  • Friendly Competition — Sort leaderboards by your friends list, so you can always make sure you’re a step better than the rest of your social circle.

They say the patch should be ready in a few weeks.
