On today’s special holiday episode of the devblog, we have:
- We’ve added a personal touch to the Abominable Snowman leaderboard, revealing where you stand. Thanks for the suggestion, Man Mobile, and some bug finding from Mag.
- Horned Snowmen will no longer use their ultimate “Turn your weapon into a Brain Staples Single” attack. Thanks for the suggestion, Mag and Deathknight.
- Fixed up some icicle errors. Thanks for the bug report, Valera.
- You now need to be in the Slags to give Hel her Christmas gift of a containment suit. Thanks for pointing this out Pyren and Vholes.
- Larry’s extra-special gift is likewise better given in person. Good suggestion from a ways back, thanks to Mr. Green.
- Thanks for some very festive typo fixes from Mag, Valera, Argeth, and Al.
- Also, the Flying Eyes got an early Christmas present from yours truly.
Cheers!

A few updates to record during and after the Halloween madness.
- Gang logs will now “stack” identical messages if they follow immediately after each other. Good suggestion, Mr. Green.
- There’s now more feedback after taking care of the Fang’s boss that there’s a bit of work left to do. Thanks, Al!
- Hitting enter in Firefox/Safari when changing the preferences for pane layout won’t change your avatar anymore. Good catch, Mr. Green!
- Leaving a channel in chat won’t change which channel you’re speaking into (unless you left that one). Thanks Wyrd!
- Areas displayed in profiles are now more precise. If anyone can remind me why I didn’t do this before, though, I might change it back :) Otherwise, thanks Al!
- Tearing silly amounts of items now gives appropriate errors. Thanks, Mr. Green.
- Also corrected a whole slew of typos thanks to Borkman, PaidPiedPiperPal, Argeth, Pyren, Mag, Artie Effham, and Edwahd
Cheers!

Just a couple updates over the last few days, mostly bug fixes.
- The Gang Warfare subscreen shouldn’t get confused between offense and defense anymore (it was displaying control of the area after successful offense). Excellent catch, Mag!
- The Southside Park quest should prevent you from getting Carlos and the bum on your side at the same time now. Thanks for finding this one, Wyrd.
- Fixed a bug with certain stranded sailors counting twice in the Ghost Ship quest. Thanks for the excellent bug report, Juntao.
- Corrected some problems with watching Television healing more than just chillin. Thanks Rykar and The Kitchen Sink!
- Your character pane should now refresh after getting beaten up by Shard, rather than showing you as having hit points. Thanks for the bug report, Mr. Green!
- And, last but not least, corrected some typos from Rykar, Borkman, and Thrillhouse. Thanks!
Also, the Living Sludge enemy, from the shoreline, now… interacts with the containment suit. Good suggestion, Argeth.
Cheers!

We have a new item at Zack’s House of Coins, the Prototype Coat.
It’s the first one coin donation item, being far less complex than the puzzle box. Even so, I couldn’t really help myself, most of the coat’s abilities will probably still need a bit of figuring out.
Like the puzzle box, it’s a bit of a swiss army knife, but the way it achieves that is totally different. Anyway, I think it’s pretty damned cool and effective without as complex and fidgety. I hope you like it.
Also a couple changes real quick:
- The Gang Warfare pane in the Gang tab will give feedback based on whether you’re actually ready for gang warfare (having engaged in enough combat since opting to join).
- Modify checked in messages now gives feedback on what it did. Thanks for the suggestion, Mr. Green.
- The quest log now gives appropriate feedback if you’ve deleted Mikhail’s message. Thanks for the head’s up, Soulmech!
- And some typo fixes from Thrillhouse, The Kitchen Sink, and Rykar. Thanks you three!
Cheers!

Bunch of little updates today. Mostly been working on the Survivors’ Quest and exciting server issues, but found time for some updates.
- There’s now better information for the Gang Log about your members finally getting control of areas. Thanks to Mr. Green for making me realize I hadn’t done this already.
- Totally rewrote how Petrol Splash works. It should function as advertised now. Thanks to Harrakan and The Kitchen Sink for their good, detailed bug reports.
- There’s now a ‘Modify Checked’ at the top of your inbox too. Good suggestion, Mr. Green.
- Usable skills will now work properly even if you’re in the middle of changing capitalization or setting your gender. Thanks Sir Cheddar!
- Going through Beta Reset shouldn’t kick you out of Chat anymore. Thanks for the report Mr. Green!
- Typos hunted and eliminated thanks to Thrillhouse, Man Mobile, The Kitchen Sink, Valera, and PaidPiedPiperPal.
Also, in the department of vague patch notes:
- Unearthly coins trigger text was occasionally missing some text, which should be fixed now.
- Quantum Mechanics should now be giving headaches properly.
- There’s now another use for Cups of Joe. Thanks for the suggestion Argeth!
In the background, I’m working on the Survivors’ Quest. There are two big blocks that I can push separately, so I’ve been hard at work on the first.
Also, I was just looking at the old blog posts and it’s been almost a year since Metroplexity launched. August 13th, mark your calendars :)
Cheers!

Did some rescripting for combat.
- The most noticeable change is that evasion now displays the amount of damage you took rather than the amount you avoided, so you don’t have to do math to determine the final damage. Thanks to Mr. Green for the suggestion.
- Special Techniques are now run as they’re actually displayed, so you won’t have weird things like getting poisoned by an enemy that never actually stabbed you. Thanks to Mag for pointing out this one was being a bit weird.
- Dynamite now actually triggers at the end of the round as a totally separate thing rather than being cobbled on as an extra attack.
That’s it!
Cheers!

Welcome to OmniMall 0.2
Added a couple new hotly requested features and another handful of bug fixes to the Mall today.
- You can now view your own orders and retract orders you’ve placed. Thanks for the suggestion PaidPiedPiperPal, Shademaster00, and Mr. Green.
- You can also search for items by category or use category to narrow your search. Good suggestion, Jick.
- Entering insane values into the mall should give you feedback instead of PHP errors. Thanks for the bughunting, Shademaster00.
Some other fixes/new features as well:
- The option to show all bonuses from yesterday has already been upgraded. It now updates whenever your bonuses change (if you have it open). Good suggestion, Al.
- Skill names when you receive them should be clickable like items, effects, and techniques. Good catch, Shademaster00.
- On a related note, the feedback using the Sea Lord’s Crown should recognize if you’ve already gotten it’s primary benefit. Thanks for the feedback, Shademaster00.
- Also, thanks to The Kitchen Sink for snagging some typos.
Cheers!

Also had a bunch of updates. Just want to get them posted before the list swallows my soul.
- Your own name should be bold in the gang log, although this might be applied a bit inconsistently to old entries. If it’s still missing anywhere in 24 hours, be sure to tell me. Thanks to The Kitchen Sink for the suggestion.
- The equipment titles in your inventory (where it says ‘Hat:’ then has your hat, the ‘Hat:’) now link down to the appropriate sections. Also, the section titles link back up to the top of the inventory. Thanks to Valliant for the suggestion.
- For all you Gang Leaders out there, the Gang’s current description should now populate in the field you use to change it, making minor changes easier. Good suggestion Olaf!
- The Arms Dealer’s personal stash now shouldn’t duplicate items you brought in from another reset or give you his favorite book if you’ve already read it. He’s awesome like that. Thanks to PaidPiedPiperPal for bringing this up.
- As much as I love time capsules, you now can’t send mail to player ids that don’t exist yet. Good catch, Mr. Green.
- The links in the header pane should load in the correct frame in Firefox 3. Thanks for the bug report, Lambchop.
- On a related note, I think we got login working with Javascript enabled on the new Firefox build. No promises, though. Thanks to xKiv for bringing this up.
- The constrict attack that Masses of Tentacles use is now a melee attack, so Shotgun Blast away. Unlike Valliant, I would never have noticed that. Thank you.
- Added a bunch of form validation that wasn’t there before. Big thank you to Olaf for poking around.
- Enemies now heal to full overnight just like you. Thanks to The 3 for making “three day marathon” not the optimal combat type.
- Also a hearty round of applause to The Kitchen Sink, Pyren, Mag, and CanadaMan for reporting typos. Hip hip huzzah!
Cheers!

I haven’t been keeping up as much with posting updates as I normally am, due to the Gang Warfare work. But here’s the list, as best I recorded:
- Buffs in the character pane will be sorted by how much Energy they have remaining. Good suggestion PaidPiedPiperPal.
- Multicrafting (and other activities taking multiple energy) will now tax buffs as they should. Thanks for the bug report, Wyrd!
- You can no longer deal negative damage with Area of Effect attacks. Thanks Valliant, for the catch.
- Lo should now be satiated with one Eclipse. What a lush. Thank you, Mr. Green for pointing this one out.
- We also have a helping of typos from Harrakan, RikiTikiTavi, PaidPiedPiperPal, Argeth, and Metro.
Cheers!
