Rule 3

RESPECT your other Geese (or Ducks)!

spare rivet
#

I apologise master cyborg

fringe merlin
#

%feedback it feels pretty rough to constantly have threads be locked on the steam discussion forums. I have more questions and comments, why do you have to keep shutting me and other people down?

crimson notch
#

The Duckscord is a great place for questions and comments! Can't speak as to steam forums 🤷‍♂️

scarlet ledge
#

honestly, if you have questions or comments, you'll most likely get an answer faster here

fringe merlin
#

I only just found the discord server recently, I'll probably post here going forward! 🙂 But the steam forums also exist and it's several peoples' only way of asking questions or giving feedback, they shouldn't be second class citizens

crimson notch
#

After a brief browsing, looks like that threads are being closed when the questions have already been answered or the askers are being belligerent

neat bloom
#

I'd also like to point out that the discord's QR code is on the screen when you load in.

fringe merlin
#

having threads get closed so fast discourages discussion, it'd be like telling people here on discord that they're not allowed to have any followup questions or even continue the conversation as soon as a dev responds to them

crimson notch
#

First page, three locked threads all ask the same question, all were answered

fringe merlin
#

I'm the author of one of those! 🙂 I wanted to ask a followup question about why GGD is moving away from allowing dead players to interact with the game

crimson notch
#

While I imagine it was answered on the forum thread, let me find and paste what was said here on the topic (one moment)

fringe merlin
#

I'm not trying to be belligerent over there (or here), I'm just legitimately curious. the new task system was a big overhaul and my group is still adjusting to it, it'd be nice to know more about the game's direction going forward.

From Shawn:

I understand, I'm sharing with you that the number of complaints of griefing were significant enough for us to address it. It's possible you never encountered it. Average game length was another issue, players deliberately dragging out tasks detracted from the experience. Even as a goose when you died in the old system, most people could finish their tasks in 30-40seconds if they were quick. Then they could end up watching the game for up to 10+ minutes with nothing to contribute anyway.
We wanted to remove that possibility by making the games move a bit faster and forcing geese to use social deduction to vote people out. The spirit of the game is to get people voted out, not win by tasks.
Tasks are the as a pressure timer for the ducks/neutrals to get going with their objective.
As I explained before the average game time is coming down as players adjust to the new system which accomplishes a lot of problems. Our game has a number of role complexities and map interactions that make the old task system more of a liability to the game than the benefit of allowing a few tasks to contribute to a task pool that may or may not have any affect on the game.
Other social deception games are a lot "simpler" or have very few nuances. They are rife with griefing and game abandonment to the point where players ditch and join lobbies constantly trying to find an experience. In most cases we notice almost 20-30% of players just leaving games because they don't have a kill button. To address that we've taken a very different design approach.
It was months in planning, the numbers were carefully calculated and the outcomes are being monitored VERY carefully as we speak.
We are prepared to make adjustments to it, but since we released this update the number of reports of griefing has already gone down (significantly) players are staying longer and playing more, more games/hour are being completed and players are abandoning fewer games.

crimson notch
#

Ope, Kitzah beat me to it

scarlet ledge
#

I shared it with a friend who was asking earlier XD

crimson notch
#

Ultimately, some people will be aggressively against the change, and that's okay. The devs have seen positive results in various metrics since the task pool update, so I would not expect it to go away.

timber obsidian
#

Ultimately all things go back to us making what we think is increasing player's happiness and enjoyment

#

I thought I made that clear that that's why we were making the decisions we were making

#

here are some other considerations we made with the task pool

#
  1. There will no longer be any question of ‘hey who didn’t do their tasks?’ The answer is always that the living geese are the only ones who can do tasks
  2. Ducks (and the falcon) are further incentivized to kill in a timely manner. Does it look like they’re 20 tasks left and five geese are alive? Well if you and your partner kill two of them, that’s still 20 tasks, except it’s distributed among three geese instead of five.
  3. Dead players no longer have to do tasks at all, should they not wish to.
  4. UI cleanliness on the left side of the screen. It’ll always be capped at 4 for geese/neutrals, and we can just give Ducks two fake tasks. This will be especially useful for mobile.
  5. Elimination of a portion of the game where geese have completed their tasks, and now have nothing to do except group and chat, which in turn makes it more difficult for ducks to kill.
  6. Opens up different ways to play the game. If you want to catch someone with your astral powers, you can be afforded doing less tasks than normal.

I unpinned it kitzah, i dont think this is a must read lol

scarlet ledge
#

Gotcha

#

I just figured I would make it easier for next time someone asks

timber obsidian
#

it doesnt really come too often anymore

scarlet ledge
fringe merlin
#

Like I said elsewhere, I'm not arguing that the new task system needs to be reverted - I just think it's unfortunate that now there's nothing for dead geese to do. I had a night where I was the first person to die in 4 or 5 games, and it's really boring to sit there and not be able to do anything meaningful for multiple consecutive games. Dead ducks can sabotage, it'd be nice for dead geese to have something they can do too

timber obsidian
#

yup, you said that in the thread

#

and as i said, it's something we'll continue to monitor, and it isn't out of the question

#

and that also, we have historically been moving away from that direction though

fringe merlin
#

out of curiosity, why have you been moving away from that?

#

(that's what I wanted to ask when you locked the steam thread)

timber obsidian
#

as i said in the thread

#

"We'd rather cater to the players that want to talk to one another when they're dead, or just spectate."

#

we think there's a greater number of people who are happier

#

socializing or just chilling when they're dead

#

that's pretty much it

#

its not really a fair comparison, but most games that you can die, you can't really contribute anymore to your team

fringe merlin
#

right, but dead ducks can do stuff already. it doesn't feel like it'd break the game to give dead geese something small they can do too

#

that doesn't have to take away from players who want to talk to each other - it could be something optional, and/or something that still allows them to talk/spectate

timber obsidian
#

i don't love that the ducks can sabotage while they're dead, but i do think its a necessary function for the game

#

to move the game along, and to force movement and other effects on the game

#

dead geese can do tasks, but you replied that you want it to contribute meaningfully

#

but one of the main points is that severing the connection so dead players dont hold up games by not finishing their tasks

#

and also not requiring them to continue playing doing tasks while dead, since thats relatively boring

#

alternatively you might be able to give them some way to interact with the map, but dead geese know who the ducks are

#

and even if we ripped out spectator mode, they'd still know who killed them, at the very least.. so allowing them to interact with the map seems like it might give away the ducks

#

Did you have a specific idea of what you wanted to allow the geese to do while dead?

fringe merlin
#

for what it's worth, we wouldn't have had to repeat so much if you hadn't decided to lock the original thread. 🙂

timber obsidian
#

right, sorry

fringe merlin
#

I don't have any ideas right now, like you said it's tricky because they have more info and you don't want it to imbalance things

timber obsidian
#

as i mentioned, as a habit i like to lock threads when there's no new information being introduced

fringe merlin
#

but I'll definitely think on it and let you know if I come up with anything!

timber obsidian
#

let me know if you think of something

fringe merlin
#

you mentioned there that the medium used to have a way to interact with dead players, how did that work?

crimson notch
#

The original Medium could see the ghosts of dead players floating around as an ability. A meta developed where ghosts would follow around the person who killed them (this was before spectate and role reveal also). Sometimes the Medium player would even go on the intercom and tell ghosts to follow the killer.

near mica
#

And I want to reinforce that this isn't a free pass for the whole game. It's just until someone else has been killed, and we get to talk about it. After that, you're a free target again (assuming you're not a duck).

near mica
timber obsidian
#

then you have dead geese holding off on their last task

#

and coordinating across multiple people being voted out

#

spreading out the information, making it role confirmation

#

and also working against us wanting people who want to just spectate or talk and socialize

#

(unless im misunderstanding your idea)

near mica
#

I do feel like offering some information to the living players, ducks and geese alike, could be something for the ghost geese to do, but I can see the danger of too much information being given away.

timber obsidian
#

i think it might be a game breaking amount of information

crimson notch
timber obsidian
#

i suspect anyways

#

if anyone has other suggestions, feel free to share

near mica
#

What about "number of tasks left for goose win"? That seems less gamebreaking, and might cut down on the "what just happened?" reactions I've seen should a task win actually happens.

timber obsidian
#

you can use it to confirm people then no?

#

since a duck or neutral completing a fake task wouldnt contribute

crimson notch
#

Seems like it would lead to late-game grouping in order to prove you did a task

near mica
#

There could be a cooldown on how often that information could be displayed. Like once every minute, or only once per round.

timber obsidian
#

that would be definitely something i'd avoid if i could

#

well

#

if you had the power to determine if was a goose and clear once a minute or once per round, i'd say that was overpowered

#

if you had the power to potentially out a duck once a minute or once per round, i'd say that was overpowered

#

it seems quite powerful

#

if if you wanted to increase the cooldown to more than once every minute or once per two rounds or something

#

do you really have something for the geese to do while they're dead

crimson notch
#

Probably redirect to something dead players could do to interact with each other, as there's a pretty long-standing hard line of no interaction between dead and living

timber obsidian
#

well, i mean thats what we ended up with but i think the dilemma that Ruanek had come up with

#

was that they felt that when they died they could no longer contribute meaningfully

#

(which is certainly true)

crimson notch
#

Oh yeah for sure. May just have to agree to disagree thor_cool

near mica
timber obsidian
#

which is why its a rule in general

#

unlike other games where you can spectate, theres information that is game breaking once youre dead

#

even if you can't spectate, you can see things

#

so we either work towards severing the communication between the living and the dead, or work towards booting you out of the game and doing something else entirely when youre dead

#

like you're just playing a different minigame with dead players while the living players are playing the normal game

crimson notch
near mica
#

There's an idea: side bet on the next player to die/get voted out.

timber obsidian
#

no joke, we've talked about that before

ivory herald
#

Betting runs too closely to gambling

crimson notch
crimson notch
near mica
ivory herald
#

Also opens up the option for farming if it rewards coins

timber obsidian
#

while thats something that would be something dead players could do

#

it doesn't solve Ruanek's 'do something meaningful for the geese team'

#

and it would still have to be balanced to be fair in its own right, if there was some sort of betting system

#

since clearly dying first and dying 11th, you have different amounts of information available

ivory herald
#

Perhaps a goose that has an ability that activates when dead.

What ability and how to balance it, I have no idea, but still.. it's an idea

near mica
#

There's already the Canadian, Celebrity and Esper. I'm not sure we want too many more roles that activate on death. Some people still complain about getting those roles, however powerful they may be.

timber obsidian
#

esper doesnt activate on death, but yeah

#

to my original point though, if anyone has a good idea, let me know

#

i love stealing good ideas and not working

#

very cost effective in terms of effort

crimson notch
#

IMHO, you're dead. You had your chance to contribute. Whether you lived a long and productive life helping your fellow Geese accomplish tasks, or you hid in a barrel for four rounds until you hopped out and got sliced, or the Sheriff walked by and randomly shot you, you're dead and shouldn't impact the living. Enjoy your afterlife and interact with your fellow fallen fowl in some fun way

timber obsidian
#

unrelated to anything, and since there's no one else in here

#

i'll tell you guys i came up with a new neutral

#

no guarantee it'll make it into the game though

ivory herald
#

No one else in here lol

#

You might even call it a NEWtral?

#

This is a public channel with 140k members. No one else lol

I do love new neutrals. Basement feels so lonely without both falcon and vulture.

timber obsidian
#

no one's looking at the right time i mean

spare rivet
#

oh cool

timber obsidian
#

and it also removes the demolitionist as well

spare rivet
#

and the danger to it would be that it's hard to retrace despite taking a while to kill

#

I like it

#

ah

Sounds like it would have fit with the basement theme more than any future map I'm aware of

spare rivet
#

yeah 3 stacks for each individual person

#

to kill

crimson notch
#

People would NEVER be trigger happy

near mica
#

I'm not sure I understand how the curse works. As soon as you get it, you get one stack of curse? Does it reset on meetings?

spare rivet
#

I'm assuming it lasts throughout the whole game?

#

the three stacks in total

ivory herald
#

Most likely

spare rivet
#

ah

ivory herald
#

What if the timer runs out while they're the one cursed

#

I meant as the seagull

near mica
#

Can only one curse be active at a time? Or like bombs, it can be generated on a long cooldown?

ivory herald
#

Ooh, sounds good

crimson notch
#

Is there any audio/visual cue to surrounding players that someone else has a curse?

#

Suggestions for branded soda pop cosmetics?

ivory herald
#

SG Vigilante can make some suggestions I'm sure

near mica
#

What if a person holding a curse gets another curse? It ups the curse stack?

ivory herald
scarlet ledge
#

denied

near mica
#

I mean, that would also further the seagull's agenda...

I both want to and do not want to test such a role lol

timber obsidian
ivory herald
#

People ganging up on one player

timber obsidian
#

oh

#

no

#

thats not furthering the seagull's agenda at all

#

see players with the curse dying works against their agenda

ivory herald
#

3 players alive is easier than 16 alive

timber obsidian
#

in a universe where you could give a curse to an already cursed player

#

3 curses giving to one person kills one person, and then you have 15

#

in a universe where you could not, three players giving 3 curses to 3 other people gives you 6 people at one level of curse, with 3 activate curses still

#

(with 16 players)

crimson notch
#

Exponential spread or whatever. One person gives it to one person. Two people give it to four. Etc

timber obsidian
#

well once you give it, you no longer have it

#

but as long as the person with it doesnt die, they will continue to give it

#

so the rate of transmission will increase

#

anyways, you dont have to believe me, but there's zero design reasons why you would want to allow them to give it to an already cursed player

ivory herald
#

Oh right, you said the thing resets the countdown

#

I see what you mean now

#

Propagate the curse until enough time has elapsed to give everyone a curse

timber obsidian
#

why is it a seagull btw

dry wind
#

Because that's what you wrote on the document.

timber obsidian
#

well, i thought that was a pigeon of the sea

spare rivet
#

It's a good idea, would definitely be a hard counter to grouping too

timber obsidian
#

thats the idea

#

still keeps the pigeon anti-grouping aspect

spare rivet
#

yeah

#

even better than the original pigeon imo

timber obsidian
#

dont let the pigeon hear you say that

spare rivet
#

in that specific field I mean lol

#

If you use a sword in the tavern bar in the Goose Cathedral map, you can jump and kill. Is this intentional?

ivory herald

You mean jump over the bar itself? Intentional, last I knew

There are other spots in other maps you can jump over too, like the chandelier in Mallard Manor, the shuttle landing pad on Nexus Colony, the step in Antechamber on Jungle Temple, etc

In general, I'm not opposed to "battle-pass" type systems in free games. What really grinds my gears is $20+ games that have these systems, along with in-game currency that is a slog to earn through normal gameplay, but is readily available for purchase.

I've noticed that if I join a server when a game is in session, I'll join as spectator. Which isn't a problem. However, once the game is over and the lobby spawns back in, my mic doesn't seem to work until after I leave and rejoin the server. Just a minor issue, not sure as to why.

Okay, but shouldn't there be a way to join the lobby but not actually view the game in progress? I feel like more private lobbies are going to do draft mode, so having a way for players to join and stay in the lobby without actually spectating the game in progress is a needed feature.

The game kicks you after you join a game if there's role draft in progress. Says "spectator_joined_during_draft". Can you fix this issue, please ?

crimson needleBOT
#
Why is spectating disabled in draft mode?

Draft mode is meant to be a little more competitive. By not having players join mid-game, this prevents players from joining and relaying information. We're planning on adding more features for Draft mode, and having players join mid-game even as spectators can cause conflicts. We are constantly monitoring player feedback, and may make adjustments as needed.

Did the rules for Goosehunt get changed in the last patch? I know for a long time you could actually run it with only 4 players, but it seems you need at least 5 now?

Someone in a public game is being toxic/abusive/swearing/racist

Unfortunately, we cannot control when bad actors enter a public game, but we do empower you by providing tools to help moderate these games. Conversations that go on in public games are still private, and we do not have access to the audio in any way. You can block or mute the relevant players in-game and use the in-game censoring filter. You can report the offending player as well, and these reports will be attached to their account, and may result in bans. If you are the lobby host, you can kick the offending players, and if you are not the host you can ask the host to kick them. Players who are kicked will not be able to rejoin the game unless permitted back in by the host. If the player in question is the host, and a sufficient number of players block their mics, they will be kicked from the game, and once again that will be reflected on their account.

Hello! I've just found out that the part in the tutorial about the tasks have been not updated even though the game has been. It indicates that people should still do their tasks after they die in the game, but it had been updated recently that people who've gotten killed or died didn't have to do tasks anymore as they changed into fake tasks the moment they get killed. (except for the sabotage tasks for the ducks.) I think this is a part of the tutorial that should be fixed, thank you for reading!

timber obsidian

You're right, we've talked about it internally

A Duck can still use the clairvoyance sabotage on the Basement map if the Esper goose has been eaten by the Pelican even though they're technically not dead yet. I feel like it should show the orange dot on the minimap on top of the Pelican instead?

So obviously turning roll reveal off helps prevent cheating or at least the dead ones knowing whos who, but I just notice when the lights go out you can easily tell who can see/is a duck if your spectating.

Love draft mode. So fun that my Friday gaggle is playing tonight too. Have you discussed eliminating just-plain-Goose as a possibility for random? I love the non-reveal of roles in Random, but if you can downgrade from three known roles to “goose”, it seems like less of an incentive to pick Random. (Maybe that’s by design)

Hi, my friends and I are playing GGD since pretty much its beginning and we are still really enjoying the game. The last update with the draft mode is amazingly fun but we would like to make sure that some basic setting like the vision will be implement shortly. As much as we love the idea to ''choosing'' our roles, the fact that vision is way to large is a deal breaker and we dont like playing this mode due to this detail. Please make sure to implement the possibility of choosing some basic settings like the vision, number of assassins/neutral and others settings. Thanks!

Small suggestion regarding Draft mode:
Can we have duck potential role distribute between first half and last half for example;
Player in lobby : 16 - First 8 = 1 duck, Last 8 = 1 Duck.
Usually the first 5 always get the duck role.

ivory herald
#

It may seem that way, and might be programmed that way I do not know, but I do know the number you get is based on RNG, so it's already evenly distributed.

Draft mode was intended to be slightly more competitive. Hard to plan your role if you don't know what duck you're versing.

You wouldn't choose Canadian if you saw a professional and demo duck, would you.

near mica
#

Having ducks more likely in lower numbers I guess makes sense. If you want to "balance" it out, though, I'd increase the chance of getting neutrals to the back of the list. I remember a couple times being practically forced to pick dodo as the last player just because there's an extra neutral slot. I don't hate it as a balancing idea, but I know that programming that could be really hard.

crimson notch
#

With the roughly 40 roles you could be offered in Draft mode (Duck side can check the math lol) player 1 gets randomly offered 3/40 roles. Player 2 gets 3/39 and so on. Since there can only ever be 3 Ducks selected, statistically they'll be gone earlier as people get offered one of the 13 or so Ducks (map dependent).

Unfortunately, we cannot control when bad actors enter a private game, but we do empower you by providing tools to help moderate these games. Conversations that go on in private games are private, we do not have access to the audio in any way. Players themselves ultimately have control of who enters private games. You can block or mute the relevant players in-game and use the in-game censoring filter. If you are the lobby host, you can kick the offending players, and if you are not the host you can ask the host to kick them. Players who get kicked will not be able to rejoin the game unless permitted back in by the host. If the player in question is the host themselves, you and everyone else bothered by their behavior should leave and form a lobby of like-minded individuals, with your own agreed upon rules. If no one else in the game agrees with you, you probably shouldn't be playing in that lobby anyways.

The main difference between the mummy and the vampire for me is what the challenge/strategic goal is.
The Vampire is all about getting the Villagers to become your thralls as fast as possible, despite your kills being delayed.
The Mummy is all about using your abilities and thralls to outmaneuver the Villagers, despite your slow move speed.

This may have been stated by someone else but I'm new to this discord, is it possible to either change the wording of Gravy from "Killers can only kill you if you're alone." to something more accurate, or fix the process so it becomes accurate? I have been killed by ducks as gravy several times with 3-4 people standing next to me resulting in duck wins or at least confusion as to which person killed me, so that description is extremely confusing.

neat bloom
#

You shouldn't be able to die with people around you as gravy

I could see where the specific range is unclear in that description. You can definitely be killed while other birds are on screen.

Cannot be killed when others are close to you?

You don't have to be overlapped with them for the bounce, just close. I know I watched a duck kill another duck instead of a gravy without mimic on.

spare rivet
#

I think Rognik's suggestion is the best actually

#

it's simple to understand and to the point

ivory herald
#

If we're being technical, "You cannot be killed while another player is within your would-be killers kill radius" is the most accurate, but a heck of a mouthful.
I'm not sure if the other player must also be within range of the gravy, thats something I cannot remember.

viral coyote
#

It is just in range of the killer

dense viper
#

Perhaps making a non-intrusive highlight of the zone a gravy must be in or must have another player within to enable this ability? Making it follow Gravy makes the most sense because having it follow others would be too code intensive and could potentially be used to identify ducks by lack of safe zone. For now as a newer player Gravy just feels like a liability because Ducks are told your role and the protection effect never seems to work. In its current explanation I would expect if I can see more than one player and hear them in proximity chat that the protection should be in effect.

spare rivet
#

Maybe some kind of subtle visual effect that only the gravy can see for it's protection zone, yeah

dense viper
#

My other small bit of feedback after approximately 68 hours of playing is the client timeout issues and mic stability issue. Several times mid match I have been kicked from a room mid match due to "client timeout" or had my mic on my Bluetooth become scratchy, intermittent, or even just stop working all together. All of which can have huge effect on gameplay or voting where players think you've been killed by another player, you're silenced or faking silence, mics repeating from other palyer causing echo and inability to hear during meatings, or players getting frustrated reading chat resulting in drama. Sometimes resetting the Bluetooth connection clears the mic though not always very well, sometimes it takes leaving and re-entering a lobby and sometimes it takes a cache clear and complete ap reset. While this is a widespread issue for many players my info is Android 12, One UI 4.1 with JLab Bluetooth and GGD ap vs 2.10.01

It was originally 4 mummy thralls for a kill. It was changed to 3 which felt like a good sweet spot during testing

the gravy doesnt have a protection zone

#

its from the perspective of the would-be killer

spare rivet
#

ah

#

how about an icon that lights up to show that the Gravy's power is in effect on someone nearby him?

Which shows the gravy that the radius of a potential would-be killer has both himself and a person that it could bounce towards within it?

#

ah wait I'm wording it wrong

#

there we go I fixed it

timber obsidian
#

the gravy's power is in effect only if a killer has two people within his range, one of which is the gravy

#

so you can't really show that unless we are letting the gravy know when a killer is within range, which would be too powerful

Perhaps reserve the tasks complete 5% bonus only for geese victories achieved by doing tasks? i.e completely filling the task bar.
I may be mistaken but it seems if you finish your fake tasks as a goose ghost you can still get the 5% bonus even if it is a duck or neutral win whereas the geese who stayed alive until end of game and potentially did more tasks aren't eligible for the bonus.

near mica
#

I agree that the task complete bonus needs a slight rework. Before, when everyone has a set number of tasks, it made sense to have the 5% completion bonus. Now, unless you die, you never truly finish your tasks, even if you do more than 8, the former maximum. I'm not complaining about the bonus exactly, but revisiting how it is rewarded would be good.

Might just be me, but the clicking sound the numbers make while spinning in draft mode is much louder than all the other sounds.

perhaps when the code sequence for the fart gets interrupted by anything, the game ends up assuming that the fart hasn't ended and is still in progress afterwards

I'm not sure if others agree, but I feel like the Sacrifice sabotage was nerfed too much. Yes, it was FAR too powerful before, but now I've heard people say they've never seen Sacrifice go off. Maybe leave the door sabotage locked with it, but make it just slightly less cooldown.

It is true that the higher cooldown for Sacrifise dissuades me into ever using it now. It doesn't seem worth the wait.

Especially since it's the sabotage that can just be prevented about 70% of the time by picking up the bell in time.

crimson notch
#

Whether the sacrifice meeting goes off, the ducks have already disrupted the normal gameplay for everyone else, which is generally the bigger point of the sabotages.

spare rivet
#

From what I've seen, people pick it up pretty quickly so it doesn't affect them much. Which restarts the cooldowns for the other options that tend to be better. (Minus Telepathy and Clairvoyance)

Granted, it heavily depends on how many people are alive. But if we're assuming a 16 player lobby, it will be found most of the time.

I'd rather do the lights sabotage which has lower cooldown, and take my chances along with my duck buddies to kill people in the dark, to potentially kill 3 or more people.

Not to mention that a body will often be found before the Bell sabotage even goes off cooldown.

I respect your opinion though, and I'm not really disagreeing. Just explaining my point of view.

I would only ever use the bell sabotage if all my ducks are alive so we can vote as a bloc if the meeting actually goes off

instead of falcon and pelican being map-exclusive, make it so that if falcon spawn then pelicsn couldn't spawn(and vice versa)

Quick question then, if the Pelican goes through the Nexus Teleporter while it’s sabotaged and dies, do all the people inside the pelican die too? Do they all have to take their own 20% odds of surviving because they went through the teleporter as well? Do they all instantly get freed because the pelican is dead? Also, if they’re able to survive, which side of the teleporter do they pop out on?

When the teleporter is sabotaged (and the risk is set to high), there’s about an 80% chance of you dying when you use it

Tried Draft Mode for first time yesterday and it was quite fun.
I would love to see a feature where lobby host can choose what roles are available, and how many ducks and neutrals, similar to classic only that players draft what the host selected as available roles.
Including lovers but if only one lover is selected you become an ordinary geese or duck instead (love wasn't answered). 😊

near mica
#

I am curious why Draft mode caps out at 3/3 when Classic can go to 3/4, even with 16 players. Is the fourth neutral seen as unbalanced or something?

latent arrow
#

Math > we will see less variability with neutrals because ducks have more options and opportunity to show up

steep pagoda
#

so we need better neutral roles?

latent arrow
#

No, neutrals generate more win conditions and as such can create confusing gameplay.

#

Ducks do not

#

So we have more variability by design

ivory herald
#

I like that it does that.
If you do the maths, it works against the geese to do 3 ducks, 4 neutrals.
With 7 "bad" roles all skipping in a 16 player lobby, ducks and Falcon kill off cool down, you now have 5 players voting the killer, everyone else skipping.

near mica
#

It's pretty rare that all the ducks and the falcon kill only geese. Some rounds, you might not get a kill at all.

green spruce

#

I think it's a bit more than that, a good amount of neutrals usually have some sort of faction that they align with despite having their own goal like the falcon + geese and vulture + ducks. I would still say 3 neutrals are fine because that 10th goose is crucial in some breakpoints.

spare rivet
#

I never align with anyone when I'm a falcon or a vulture

#

it depends on the person really

little crest
#

Align was a bad word. I should have said something along the lines of depending, because the vulture needs the ducks to kill players.

#

I also know plenty of people who play vulture to side with geese, especially mortician. Rather than trying to win, they just lead people to bodies. I personally dislike that attitude, but I can't tell people how to play.

If you click in the area where you deafen during a game, in a meeting, it still deafens you, despite the button being in a different spot during meetings

dense viper
#

We could also use some way to discourage the sheriff and vig from the idea of killing the first person they see. Most players when they get those roles play it as "I have a 50/50 shot to be right" and if you're not part of their clique your dead even if it kills the sheriff. This leads to non clique players becoming discouraged because they are always the first to die no matter which side they are on.

#

I'm also interested in seeing the sheriff and vigilante numbers for how often they are right/wrong. There's a 72.5% chance they get it wrong but I'd bet the actual number for killing another goose is in the 86%-90% range

timber obsidian
#

its close to 100

#

no sheriff has ever killed a duck b efore

spare rivet
#

Yeah, it's annoying as hell when they do that.

I think part of it's because they like to mess around and just roll the dice, and the other part is because of the "kill or be killed" mentality.

If you don't kill someone you suspect in time and die, you'll feel like a fool. But honestly, that's just how the game functions. Need proper reason before you kill.

dense viper
#

Yeah, a lot of the time the excuse for vig kills is "I just wanted to use my skill, I don't care what role they were." This kind of play kills the fun for other players.

spare rivet
#

yep, pretty much throws social deduction out of the window if they do it randomly

dense viper
#

The other part that throws social deduction out is the team players who even if they are goose throw the game to protect their duck friends. There's a team of 4 girls that are absolutely known for throwing games. They tell each other their roles on discord then if someone speaks up they tell their friend check discord for the name of the player to kick from the lobby

scarlet ledge
#

The only solution for that one is to not play with people you don't agree with

#

No amount of changes to the game will ever account for human behaviour

#

I just had a suggestion for the ToT sabotages, as some of them reveal the monster. I was wondering if maybe you could change some of the notifications, or maybe warn the monster that a sabotage will reveal which monster they are (ex: ⚠️). This is based on the comment that part of the gamemode is finding out which monster you're dealing with, along with personal experience.

Feedback/Suggestion for the friends list:

I believe the friends list would be greatly improved with the ability to add a short descriptive note to each friend on the list to help keep track of who is who. This seems to be occasionally helpful when people's in-game name they play with does not match the name they choose for their account, or their Discord names. It would be helpful for keeping track of who is who. It can also be helpful for tracking who are the people you frequently play with and who are people you played with a few times and haven't seen in a while.

So when playing with new players, their volume defaults to 61. Would it be possible to add in a default volume adjustment where we can set what we want our default as? 61 is wayyyyy to loud and i spend the first few mins of every game turning people down

silver wharf
#

Could the volume of the clicking from the numbers in draft mode be turned down? I often have to reduce my game's volume just for that part to not give myself a headache.

near mica
#

If you think the default volume of players is too loud, you could turn down the volume of all players in the Sound tab.

I believe the Draft roulette sound is based off of the SFX slider. I could be wrong, though, as it wouldn't be the first time a sound effect is not actually tied to anything.

They were referring to the clack clack clack that plays while your number is being randomised

#

Is there a way to show in the game chat whether a player left or quit the game intentionally or disconnected because they genuinely lost their connection?

#

I think that would help lobby hosts better understand if someone left because they decided to, or if it was outside of their control

#

Also, in a game with proxy chat enabled that has players in no mic mode, could adding the evil laughing duck sound that plays over intercom in a non-proxy chat game be what plays for those players?

viral coyote
#

Soon players that disconnect due to connection failure will have a plug symbol next to their name and will their goose will stay in the game for up to 90 seconds to allow for reconnection.
I believe we will only send player left if they intentionally leave.
As for the other, the goose can already fart as a way of communication, I'm not sure how adding another sound effect will help

Who knew that farts could be a way of communication? Oh yeah of course in this game where nothing makes sense

Minor thing I noticed:

In Draft mode, if someone randoms into Dodo, then it is possible for Dueling Dodo to be presented as an option. Anyone who is given this as an option learns the existence of the dodo even if they don't pick it. This grants people unfair extra information.

I'd propose presenting the role as a normal Dodo to the second person if the first randomed into it.

timber obsidian
ivory herald
#

Draft offers a lot of extra information regular classic doesn't. Especially for certain roles like morphling or assassin, that take a direct nerf if their presence is well known and established.

I just accept it as part of the mode.

ocean vector
ivory herald
#

He means if you pick say medium, but 'duelling dodos' was an option, you now know there is a regular dodo in the game if it was randomed into

#

Alternatively, if you're last to pick, you know what roles are not in the game

polar mural
#

Duckside makes some good points

ocean vector
#

I think you meant to type "random" and not "medium" - I'm not sure why telling the second player they are a normal dodo makes a difference, unless if they mean to be able to want to make it seem like to the rest of the lobby that there is only one dodo

crimson notch

Medium was just an example. Really it could be selecting any other role, so long as you saw Dueling as an option to select

When the actual bleep did someone get the bleeeeeeeep idea to nerf the Mechanics Vent time?

scarlet ledge

That has been in game since the new task system came out

somber juniper
#

Ain't played Mechanic in a long time. Well my feedback is that I hate that change.

glacial kernel
#

And many people gave the feedback that they hated how the mechanic could sit in a vent for the entire match, making it impossible for anyone to find them

alpine nacelle
#

That's also why it makes more sense for the Pijin to be able to do that instead, so the Mechanic can successfully be sneezed on by them.If you want to chill in the vents and surveil the area, be Pij and try to convince the peeople who know your role that you're not sneezing on anybody.

ivory herald
#

I also don't like the change, but it's reasonable.
I just wish it wasn't so limited, 6 seconds is barely enough time to choose what vent you want to get to on some maps.

But it did at least make the snoop make sense, since the only difference between those two roles was that the snoop could not move between vents while the mechanic could.
Well, the snoops vision zooms out now too, but that's irrelevant since the mechanic can't stay in a vent long enough for that anyway.

timber obsidian
#

because the flip side is 6 seconds is plenty of time to get you where you want to go if you had an idea in mind

#

and the role is no longer for going in, sitting in the vent and making a decision, and then going out

latent arrow
#

Having a goose role with the ability to just hang out in complete safety causes a ton of other design problems.

#

I do believe the 6 seconds is enough to use the vents to get around as fast travel > There is a case to increase it for a few more seconds but we would have to adjust the cooldown a bit more to make it less usable. It will become less fun but more "useful".

#

The only reason people hate it now is because they had a taste of the old mechanic. Remember when Mercy in Overwatch could resurrect a whole team?

silver wharf
#

I can't remember if snoop is forcefully ejected now like the mechanic.

latent arrow
#

Snoop offers less advantage without the ability to travel.

#

Letting it sit in safety can be counterbalanced although I am not a fan of having them too different from one another.

#

They are both roles undergoing constant observation for updates.

I think adding a counter for how long the Mechanic can remain in a vent would be very useful

I finally was able to make use of the two roles I thought were useless. As birdwatcher, I was in the tunnels when the sacrifice bell went off. I bird watched into the pit and saw the culprit walking away from the sabo. Got a duck out. Then as Astral I saw two people talking and go real quiet when I walked by. I hid in a corner and floated my soul to them and heard them talking about their roles, one being a duck. Woohoo, all roles have a purpose

Hey GGD devs! I'd like to report a bug that just occurred during a recent GGD game I watched. So there was a player who was having connection issues that had left and rejoined the game a couple of times. This person ended up being assassinated during the next meeting, which somehow resulted in the game's Pigeon winning.

I was under the impression that the Pigeon's sneeze progress resets during every meeting, so I'm assuming that the person with connection issues was the only person the Pigeon didn't sneeze on during the previous round and this is a bug related to the new Reconnect feature.

crimson notch
#

Pigeon can win during a meeting if the only person that was not sneezed on that round gets shot by the assassin. Pigeon sneezes don't reset until the meeting ends and players spawn back in the map.

mystic sluice
#

Really?! I had no idea that was even a thing, but I guess this is the first time I've ever seen that happen. Thanks for the info!

young geyser
#

Since it doesn't reset until "players spawn back in the map," does that mean that if the only person the pigeon hasn't sneezed on is voted out, the pigeon also wins?

ivory herald
#

No, probably a poor choice of wording. The pigeon counter is reset when somebody is voted out

#

Basically once voting time ends, so you have until then to hope the assassin shoots your final victim.

young geyser
#

Understood! Thank you for clarifying.

Similarly, if someone is killed in the final four and the falcon is still alive, the timer begins as soon as that person is killed. This can lead to having less time to hunt down the falcon. Aim carefully...

Many new players often call meetings by mistake thinking they are tasks. This is especially true on the ducktorian and jungle maps, where the meeting location isn't the iconic big red button.

#

I suggest that if a player is below a certain level (maybe 10?), when they go to the button/bell/horn, they will get a small pop-up at the bottom of the screen saying something like "This will call a meeting, are you sure you wish to do so?" or something like that.

All maps have been adjusted to show a megaphone 📣 icon where the meeting button is. Also, that's really part of the learning process for the game. If you hit it on accident, boom, now you know and shouldn't do it again. Unless Dodo.

I came back after a while and the game's great, I'm glad that you're actively adding new content. But imo dodo ruins the game. It greatly limits the strategies which you can use.

#

Tracking someone's location, estimating if they could have went from A to B in a certain amount of time, watching how they do tasks, etc.. It all becomes useless as they could just be a dodo and then you'll lose if you take action according to your proofs.

Yes but the problem is you can't do it in draft, can you? And even if so most people don't do it cause they just don't know any better.

timber obsidian
#

if you can find players who agree with you, you can have it turned off for classic or agree to not pick it in draft

junior copper
#

But really what's the upside of having dodo vs not having dodo? (I'm talking about lobbies with random people)

timber obsidian
#

maybe you shouldn't play with random people if you are very particular about the roles you want to play with

crimson notch

It adds to the social deception

Makes you be wary of random voting

junior copper

there's just no practical way to tell if someone's a dodo or duck

Ducks have to take care not to blindly accuse someone in case they are Dodo

Alright, I'm just saying that removing/changing dodo (or at least making it off by default) will make the strategy more in-depth

@junior copper There are ways to distinguish between a dodo and other lying roles. Primarily, dodos can't kill (unless there happen to be 2 dodos, then woe betide you). Sometimes, you must take the risk that the person isn't a dodo.

#

Although, I will admit, the number of times I've accused a dodo when I'm a duck... sigh

Not just RNG. Learn the tells of other players. If they do get a dodo win, make certain they can't pull the same trick again.

ivory herald
#

This is why dodo is the only S tier role

glacial kernel
#

Dodo makes people have to think about who they’re voting. It discourages the geese from randomly voting, and forces people to use their roles to differentiate between a dodo and a duck (Birdwatcher, Detective, Medium and Engineer are all good at figuring out who’s actually a dodo)

glacial kernel

#

I remember my best dodo win, I wasn’t even going to try because I’m never able to win as dodo, but somehow wound up with the best dodo win I’ve seen

silver wharf
#

I find dodo to be healthy for the game. Without dodo random voting wouldn't be as harmful. Geese also do have sheriff and vigi for someone who seems like a dodo, and avenger for the cheeky dueling dodo plays.

#

Also I find that ducks panic when someone who is very much not acting like a goose is about to be voted. If someone keeps saying "no don't vote they are dodo", there's a chance that player is a duck trying to steer the group away from a dodo win.

#

Speaking of ducks, they also have a couple roles that can help vs dodo. Spy to determine with 100% accuracy if someone is a dodo or a safe scapegoat, and assassin as a last ditch effort to kill dodo before they win.

spare rivet
#

I think it's a nice counter for those lobbies that vote randomly

silver wharf
#

So my 2 cents on this matter is that, while the very existance of the dodo completely changes the way people play the game and it is very oppresive, it is not unbeatable and uncounterable.

glacial kernel
#

Dodo is oppressive, but I kinda has to be, yeah

#

I was a dodo once, in a random room. I didn’t say much was just thinking ok I won’t win, but one person said my name in the meeting and everyone voted me. First meeting. That was an awesome dodo win.

Did the campfire task on Jungle get changed? I had the task, opened it and a meeting got called. The next round, on my way to do the task (chop wood), I got killed then found the task unavailable.
The fire was not lit

I'm surprised people don't talk more about Assassin. It felt very oppressive when it came out and still strongly dictates the game. However, players realized before Assassin how easy it is to identify ducks simply by claiming a role, and something had to be done. Pigeon was the same way to a lesser extent, as it was meant to counter grouping, but I swear only a handful of people actively call Pigeon resets anymore.

#

Some roles just have to be there to make the game fair, like Professional.

silver wharf
#

And like dodo, there are ways to do some tomfoolery and get it to shoot itself.

My favourite being the time I said "X killed, I watched from the crate" when in reality I was looking through walls.

silver wharf
#

There, if 2 people are blaming each other, you just vote both out for example.

#

In ggd now you have to worry about dodos, about a morphling framing someone else

#

There is just so much more than "he killed. If not him vote me"

Question... Are we able to get an option for tasks after death? Like in the game settings, can we choose if tasks after death are real or fake? I think that would add a huge element and make a lot more room for custom gameplay

void prism
# snow trench Question... Are we able to get an option for tasks after death? Like in the game...

The thing you have to keep in mind is that a majority of players don't bother with their tasks once they die. Newer players don't remember the days when some games would drag on because a dead player still had tasks to do. Letting dead players have that much control over the game was not fun for anyone, I can say personally. That's exactly why task pool was implemented and why kick idle geese was implemented. I know it was a tough choice for the team, but I think it was overall worth it. I also know some players didn't want to have to be responsible for tasks after they died. I'm not saying some people wouldn't enjoy it being the way you're suggesting, but the majority of players are happy with current settings.

From what I understand of it, the changes were not trivial so a simple on/off option isn't likely

I speedrun tasks all the time, so I'm way happier with the task pool system than I was having nothing to do after completing four finite tasks and no more. It also allows me to ignore Speak to the [socialite]/Three card monte tasks in lieu of completing quicker tasks and not being a sitting goose.

I'm pretty sure I haven't done the dialogue tasks in Goosechapel once since the task pool update

I only do when I'm trapped in the Mayor's office/Police Station/Bank/House of Worship with nothing else to do besides wait for the door to open back up.

ivory herald
#

I do them sometimes but yeah. RIP long tasks.
I personally think task length played a part in the overall game balance.

I've always felt that you should get four tasks and you don't get new tasks until those four are completed instead of the current get a task, immediately get a new task (which might be the same task)

Well, I still need 3 Courtesan conversations for the achievement, so I will rush that task when I can. Also, it'll throw people off thinking I'm just doing the sabotage with her.

timber obsidian
#

if you can't do a task, or just hate it in general

#

now you no longer have to

timber obsidian
#

i know a lot of people who may or may not have played a different game would be used to doing tasks while they were dead but ultimately

#

i do truly believe that most people are quite content either talking to one another or just spectating when they're dead

ivory herald
#

Yeah I believe it's better overall, especially for accessibility reasons, but I still feel sad for the long tasks and the specific gameplay that has been lost by allowing players to skip them altogether

near mica
#

I do feel the shift has made the "game timer" of tasks offbalanced. At least in Draft mode, lots of lobbies are filled with people who don't do tasks. And since Draft defaults to X-Large, I've only seen a task win once in the numerous times I've played Draft since it was added. And that one time was yesterday.

Tasks wins are the least satisfying.

#

We want to minimize them but they should still be a constant threat. It speeds up the game for everyone.

#

It's working as intended.

silver wharf
#

Tasks should be an incentive for ducks to kill, a constant threat but not a reliable method of winning. Just like how critical sabotages aren't a reliable method of winning, but a threat that the geese have to haphazardly stop what they are doing and fix it and miss critical information about the ducks.

#

We always maximize tasks so that winning through task is nearly impossible, they are there just so people don't just chill on the map but occasionally have to do anything just to not be kicked.

Likely the drop is happening well outside our servers meaning it's no different to our game. It looks like a volunteered disconnect on our end.

I do recall getting temp banned after my data connection on the bus became a bit funky. Was able to reconnect with no issues and it has only happened once so far.

It discourages people quitting mid-game repeatedly.

I have been hit by it on occasion when my days haven't been great, which is probably why that unintentional disconnect resulted in the temp ban.

The 2.12.01 patch has been really great even in normal length meetings. If you know who to vote, voting time goes by much faster. I like that one person can't hold up the meeting.
