[timber obsidian]

woohoo, danero stamp of approval

no more AFK filibuster

[void prism]

I forget to leave positive feedback. Most of the updates are fantastic

[timber obsidian]

that's great to hear

since it reduces the voting time to 15 seconds, it can't really be used to grief even in extremely short meeting times

[ivory herald]

It is somewhat annoying when everybody does know who to vote but you have additional information and while typing it so you don't talk over anybody, the voting time ends

But pros/cons, overall its better

[near mica]

The problem is trying to get people to use both chat AND talk in a lobby.

[near mica]

Just got mummy for the first time, and why didn't anyone tell me about the awesome spawn music they have? I was initially expecting the organ tune vampire had, but instead it's this funky middle-eastern tune. I like it.

[velvet dirge]

There are some roles that have a secondary action on the kill button itself and it is incredibly frustrating, for example the cannibal, when you want to kill someone who is on a corpse you can't do it, instead of killing you have to eat. The same with the mummy and the hideouts. Will be nice to have that changed, have preference on kill instead of the reverse for example.

[spare rivet]

I can agree with that. I've had several occasions when I try to kill someone as Undertaker, only to be dragging a body nearby instead rather than kill the witness.

[crimson notch]

That seems pretty reasonable. I can't think of many scenarios where there is a body and a living bird together where the Duck would want to use the secondary ability instead of killing the living bird

[velvet dirge]

Thats another example

[near mica]

So move the secondary ability to replace venting instead of killing?

[silver wharf]

The only thing that comes to mind is interrupting mortician with cannibal, but even then it would be better just to kill mortician unless you are collabing to get the achievement.

[spare rivet]

I more had in mind, to give an example with Undertaker

For the whole gimmick to just be swapped so the killing button would overlap the drag body button instead, rather than the other way around.

Specifically for a situation when there's both a body, and a living person next to the undertaker.

[near mica]

I'm under the strong impression that the devs aren't about to add more buttons, for real estate on mobile is tight already. Could probably do it if it was just PC, but replacing the venting button for situational cases is probably the best I could suggest.

[spare rivet]

I think you might misunderstand me. Apologies if my explanation was poor.

Currently, if there's a living person and a body next to undertaker, the button to pull the body will come up. Which overlaps the usual killing button.

My suggestion is to swap that around. For the Killing button to get priority. So the witness can get killed, rather than the Undertaker getting trapped pulling that body instead.

So, I'm not requesting a button to be added. Just a change to the already existing mechanic.

[crimson notch]

Essentially, if both a body and a living bird are present, it would be preferential for the Kill button to replace the Eat/Drag button

[void prism]

I have the complaint above from many players; this would be a great change.

[stark quest]

Do you have any plans to release a feature that allows we to set up classic-like settings in Draft Mode?
I wish draft mode could also adjust roles, number of missions, etc.

[velvet dirge]

In private matches meh, but I dont want the hell of have to find lobbies without idiotic settings again. I stopped completly playing classic because they set minimum tasks, maxim movement speed, dark vision for everyone, etc. The only thing I miss playing draft is lovers role. But the settings are nice, not for noobs but they have classic.

[snow trench]

They just did a poll on that. They might do thar

[spare rivet]

Which poll? The last one I've seen was from September 13th.

[crimson notch]

I think they're referring to the original poll asking if people would be interested in a draft mode

Which is not the same thing Meows is suggesting

[spare rivet]

The other person's response seems to imply that it happened recently tho

[crimson notch]

It certainly implies that. #polls implies otherwise

[spare rivet]

yup

[rigid sluice]

Why did polls get deleted

[crimson notch]

It did not

[rigid sluice]

Oh. It said it was earlier

My bad:

[near mica]

Is there any way to tell if a lobby is 25+ after it's been made and the old host has left? There doesn't seem to be a way to check in the settings.

I also debate if it would be useful to turn that on and off after the room's been made.

[ocean vector]

Are there any reports of the gravy goose's bouncy ability not working when someone tries to kill them? Just curious...me and one other player have not had any success in having a kill attempt bounce off to a player we're on top/reasonable adjacency, and it has confused a couple other players as well

[crimson notch]

Occasionally, most are due to latency. If you are able to consistently reproduce a bug, submitting a video of this in a #troubleshooting-and-bug-reports would be handy!

[lyric urchin]

my advice:
Get rid of Astral, Birdwatcher, Esper, Celebrity, Mortician, and Politician or rework them to be fun.

[crimson notch]

[timber obsidian]

we have some plans on reworking them, but if you dont like them for now, i'd suggest you just disable them

[lyric urchin]

cant in draft mode

[timber obsidian]

if you want full control of the roles that are in your game, classic mode might be more to your liking

[dark egret]

Adding the ability to test roles in tutorial mode so newer players won't be thrown under busses for not knowing. I think mainly duck and neutrals at least.

[ocean vector]

Celebrity is one of my favorite roles, I hope that doesn't get reworked

I like Mortician too

And birdwatcher!

I think it all comes down to how well people are able to fully utilize the roles

[near mica]

If the role gets reworked, it'll be only for balancing sake. I don't know if you remember how it originally worked, but celebrity used to tell the identity to the lobby. Now it just says that they died, which is a bit less powerful. Something along those lines would be the rework.

[spare rivet]

I agree with Esper and Politician, but that's about it

To rework them, I mean

The others can be useful in many situations

[scarlet ledge]

i think all roles can be useful within their given position

I think one of teh big things lies with the fact that pretty much everyone wants a killing role, which just isn't feasible

but that's just my opinion

from my own personal POV i'd take esper or politician over sheriff any day of the week

[spare rivet]

Politician as it is currently, seems to have a 85% chance to not do anything from the games I've played.

And Esper...well. I hardly see anyone using Clairvoyance and Telepathy. So it basicly feels like playing a normal role to me.

I actually genuinely get confused when anyone actually uses Clairvoyance in a rare moment when I see the red dots, because usually nobody ever uses it from what I've seen

But I do respect your opinion on the matter. It's just that these two roles seem to rarely do anything to me.

[scarlet ledge]

they are very situational

[glacial kernel]

BW is legit my favorite role in the game and it’s only 1/4 because of spite

[spare rivet]

Birdwatcher is a LOT stronger now

[glacial kernel]

And it already was strong

[ocean vector]

that's what dine and dash is for 🤪

[scarlet ledge]

indeed

[ocean vector]

In my opinion, people don't try hard enough to play certain roles to their full effectiveness. When the celebrity was revised to hide their death, I came up with a very grating strategy by calling a meeting at the start of every game, advertising that I was the celebrity and would be following a certain suspected player.
It was really effective because it hindered their ability to try and kill me in those instances they were someone who could kill. And to prove I was telling the truth I would do it even if there was an assassin!

So depending on one's perspective, it had several side benefits, such as wasting the assassin's shot (so if you think the role is useless, the assassin has one less shot to kill a sheriff/other useful roles), and revealing if the hidden duck was an assassin

That strategy can also be subbed in for the Canadian, depending on if you're okay with being assassinated. Does it make the game fun? Depends on who you're playing with!

[dark egret]

Don't forget the notification for the celebrity doesn't show for ducks which helps deduct what each player is. Doesn't happen all the time but it's been a useful tool regardless

[plucky sierra]

Voice chat mid draft is busted, you can confirm your class. If 3 palyers choose ducks, and no one were assassin, you can say you are number x, than at the same time your role. After a while I think on it, and is an easy confirm.

[dark egret]

Most people tend to still say what they're not regardless and that information works both ways ie someone says they're sheriff so a duck targets them. You could always do classic and set things your own way if draft bothers you too much.

[spare rivet]

Then just don't say your number and role? Not to be rude, but I'm a bit confused on what your point is lol

Also people can just easily lie about their number and role.

[plucky sierra]

omg always the same response

[plucky sierra]

Like: Im number 5 and bounty then number 5 chooses boundy -alright, hes confirmed

The game involves a lot in not know who the other players are, but with this that goes to the trash

[spare rivet]

Considering the possibility of assasin and potentially getting targetted by killers, I don't think I'd do that anyway

[plucky sierra]

@spare rivet

[spare rivet]

So, what is your solution to this?

[plucky sierra]

Removing chat voice while mid draft... Like I said

[spare rivet]

"Okay I'm number 7, picking Sheriff"

Ducks: okay we'll kill him first

[dark egret]

That's how I see it

Information can be a double edged sword but you have to believe people first

[scarlet ledge]

I claim fake roles all the time

[dark egret]

What most people do to prevent role claiming to begin with

[ocean vector]

Lol yeah not a lot of ducks are going to fall for that

Especially high level players

[spare rivet]

yeah I don't believe anyone claiming their role in the start

[ocean vector]

If anything I will keep in mind what they claimed because what they say and how they say it gives me context clues to if they're telling the truth

[scarlet ledge]

hell, a lot of the time I have a 7 year old yelling what number I am into the microphone behind me and no one believes it XD

[dark egret]

Lmao

The only time I even hint what I am is when im picking something wacky like base goose at spot one to be funny and go on about how crazy that number is

Which is always screamed over

[near mica]

@plucky sierra The best advice I can give, at least at this point, is find a group of players with a similar mindset to yours. Some of us like being able to talk during the draft, and the mind games that can come with it. If you don't like playing with people who confirm their role during draft, find a group that doesn't do that.

[silver wharf]

Only time I say what I drafted is as Canadian

And woth no assa, of course.

With how often people pick assa, I don't see a lot of people claiming what they have drafted without getting blasted.

[frigid lantern]

sometimes ill get dodo and then say "i got the demo!" and then it never works like i want it to lol

[glacial kernel]

All I’m saying is that the perfect solution is to create a long running gag that everyone claims their player 2

Works perfectly for me

[silver wharf]

Usually the running gag I see is people saying they are player 17

[scarlet ledge]

i usually claim player 8675309

[dark egret]

I usually say im number number

[spare rivet]

when Draft first came out I kept pranking people with "It says You're player 5, you are waiting. What does it mean??"

but kept claiming a fake number with that

[still ocean]

On trick or treat mode its really annoying playing as the mummy and accidentally venting when trying to kill. Can we change the venting to a different button. I missed out on killing about four geese by accidentally venting lol. I should have paid attention to where I was but missed em every time

[summer kernel]

It would be really nice if the task list size could be reduced in draft mode. I get that that mode is for less customization, but the "XL" setting is way too long. Makes it very hard to win by tasks, to the point of most people I play with are just discouraged to even bother doing them.

[crimson notch]

Task 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.

[latent arrow]

Smart person who wrote that.

[radiant bridge]

we were playing today in a draft mode for a couple of hours, and we won through the tasks several times (and obvi, this has frustrated us). one time we didn't even filled the gauge (we had just a half of it), but still have won by the tasks 😩

we were trying to make the task list much longer but it turned out we've already have a max size by default 😢

the tasks are great: just not when you win in the first or the second round by completing them

[silver wharf]

That usually means the ducks are waiting too long to kill

[radiant bridge]

well, for me it seems kinda random tbh. like in one game ducks can not make a kill for minutes, just handing out, and nothing happens. and in the other game we have almost just started — and yet we've already won

in a classic mode the longest list is usually the key, but in the draft it... it just seems really random
and since those fast wins have happened not one, not two and even not three times, I'm not even sure if it supposed to be so fast or we were just lucky to have some juicy yummy bugs

[timber obsidian]

its just a multiplier based on the number of players

if you had 4 geese out of 4 geese all doing their tasks its going to seem a lot shorter than if you had 4 geese out of 12 geese doing their tasks

[peak nimbus]

I’m sure someone’s asked this before so I’m sorry, but really curious why pelican is basement only, it’s me and my groups favorite role and it seems like such a shame to leave it locked in the basement!

[peak magnet]

It would be good if we could have a block/ban list that isn't just for an individual game, in case people you would not want in a lobby try to join yours, or something like that.

[silver wharf]

A few reasons:

1. The more horror theme of the basement is the most fitting for the pelican, with people disappearing for seemingly no reason.
2. The basement is the only map that was designed with the pelican in mind. Things would get very odd if a stuffed pelican was airlocked on mothergoose or crushed by a boulder on Jungle Temple. As of now there is only one other map that could hold a pelican, that being Goosechapel.
3. With the maps that came before basement, if we introduced pelican, what do we do with falcon and vulture? The only thing that comes to mind is a toggle to switch between allowing the falcon/vulture and allowing the pelican. However, this would not really be worth implementing if the only other map able to utilize the pelican is Goosechapel.

[timber obsidian]

all of mallard manor is the inside of a pelican

[peak nimbus]

Point 2 is a really good one I suppose, with the boulder or chandeler or whatever the eaten people could just teleport to the nearest safe zone, but the airlock is a tricky one

although with how rare an airlock kill is, perhaps it wouldnt be the worse if everyone inside the pelican died

[peak nimbus]

This is the only acceptable answer

Pelicanception would just be to much for the universe to handle

[timber obsidian]

theres only one pelican ever in the universe

[silver wharf]

Although Ancient Sands will be the falcon's domain, there likely will be maps in the future that the pelican can turn into a buffet.

[worn bloom]

Maybe there could be a new type of bird

What about a Osprey?

[crimson notch]

If you have an idea for what it could do, #🐣︱classic-role-ideas

[latent arrow]

If it can mow my lawn in the spring/summer I would put it in the game no questions asked.

[slate parrot]

If it can de-snow my driveway then put it in the game

[lean cliff]

In the present situation, Gravy is doing too well. One of the jobs that ducks can't win with goose Canadians and celebrities (we call it a notification job). Gravy is not the target of the assassin's gun, so it means the so-called 'definite goose'. As a result, other geese are connected to gravy, sharing jobs with each other and connecting together. The duck has to hire at least two people to catch the goose connected to gravy together. Of course, pigeons and demolition teams can remove the connection for the time being, but it is true that it is really difficult for ducks to win if gravy, Canadians, and celebrities are all activated.

Therefore, there are two personal changes.

1. Change the gravy to neutral. If you survive until the end of the game, you win. After the first meeting, the ducks can know that you are Gravy.

2. If kill motion occurs around you while you and other players overlap, you must remove the ability to prioritize other objects.

[shell gate]

Celebrity is too annoying when people ask what round they died in or how long ago in the round they died. Why don’t ducks and neutrals see when celebrities die? Their ability to give a timestamp for their death works even if the ducks know.

[glacial kernel]

Having ducks/neutrals also know when the celebrity is dead takes away all of the strategies the geese can use with it.

[ivory herald]

I prefer to ask people "did you see that?" at random and if they say yes, I ask what they saw because I didn't see it

[frigid lantern]

perhaps find a way to clarify general is an english only channel in the bot message for people who don't understand. like, "sorry, for moderation purposes this channel is english only. if you're looking for a group to play with in your local language, go to lfg language

[spare rivet]

or rename the text channel to general-english

[shell gate]

It clears everyone in the immediate area of that kill and lets everyone know to look for a body, so it shouldn’t take away even half the strategies

[glacial kernel]

No, most of the strategies the geese use with celebrity are to try and catch ducks with weather they’re dead or not.
Although I will note it goes both ways. Nothing’s stopping you from (as a duck), asking if the celebrity is dead to a goose you’re accusing to learn it

The moment someone truthfully mentions the celebrity being dead/alive is the moment it loses all it’s power

[silver wharf]

And if you are dodo and are struggling to make yourself sus; if someone isn't answering the question, you can butt in and take the 50/50 guess yourself.

Though I find people usually ask this if celeb has already died. So I find more success by saying celeb is still alive as dodo.

[lean cliff]

Like this, celebrities seem to have the most balance among current notification jobs. The job that gives ducks great emptiness and difficulty in the current situation is Gravy, a Canadian.

Canadians, in particular, inform a small number of people at first by revealing their jobs, and when someone kills me, "It's Canadian" attempts to vote for whatever reason creates an atmosphere that doesn't listen to the argument. The early reported round could only attempt to speculate on the possibility of killing Canadians at the time of the talks, which could disrupt the direction of the talks.

Due to this problem, there is also a room in which most of us adopt only one of Gravy, Canadians, celebrities, or take them all out.

[scarlet ledge]

there are a few roles that counter canadian, professional doesn't have to worry about them, assassin can kill them in a meeting, cannibal can eat the body before it reports, ninja can kill two people and when the canadian report goes off say you found what looks like a sheriff kill

demo can blow them up

gravy is easily countered by just not killing them when they are around other people

[lean cliff]

That's a good counter method. But ninjas only come out of the jungle and have to double kill. (Unfortunately, there are very few rooms to play in the jungle, SAD.) Cannibals need friendly ducks. A professional is the best way to do it, and, of course, all premises can be implemented if the duck knows who the Canadian is. If you know it, you can call him before the bell, kill him, and ring the bell within a second.

[lean cliff]

I think the demolition team is really good, too! With Gravy revealing his job and becoming a 'definite goose', the geese will stick together with the guaranteed identity of Gravy every day. The same goes for Canadians, and the self-reporting ability and the removal of numerous links are largely due to the weight of the demolition team, so we usually play games with the assassin and the demolition team checked

[void prism]

Ninja does not have to double kill. They can kill a single target, even if it is inefficient.

[lean cliff]

Yes, I know. But as mentioned above, among the ways to fight against Canadians, ninjas have to do double kill because they want to look like the wrong killing of a sheriff.

Add to that, cannibals can be eaten 3 seconds after they've been killed, so they need to be in charge of clearing up what their fellow ducks have killed So cannibals need fellow ducks to fight against Canadians.

[green spruce]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[ivory herald]

For what it's worth, sometimes if I've killed the Canadian, and I see there is more then one death in the round I will just claim it was a sheriff fail.
Who is going to be able to confirm there were two bodies?

Unless a Goose killed the other body/bodies, or the Sheriff is still alive, you can usually get away with it.

If there is a known professional Duck, I'll sometimes claim I was trying to report a single body and the body I reported was not the one I was trying to report, so it sounds like a double kill by professional and another duck.

But we're starting to derail from feedback, let's continue any further discussion in #💬︱general

[shell gate]

I like that way of doing it, not having too many geese who get a duck out when they die.
I also don’t like it when ducks make up 1/3 of the killing roles, 2 ducks vs all three killing geese and a killing neutral. But all the rooms I join seem to do draft, and we can’t edit those settings.

[stark quest]

Can we have a update to changing map/gamemode to so that public game can change maps/gamemodes

[dry schooner]

Any chance you guys will make the night vision goggles a bit easier to achieve? As it is now, you must use Spy's ability 500 times and then you're required to pay 100 gold coins to unlock the hat. I haven't done the math, but I rarely have the chance to spy on more than 5 geese in one day. And that's when I'm lucky. This achievement will likely take months of time, and then I still have to pay the hat I grinded for? That seems a bit unfair

[dry schooner]

One problem I see with that is server advertisement. When you're looking for a game on a certain map/gamemode, sometimes you just want to stay on that map. That's how I am personally. It would confuse a lot of people if they joined a lobby and suddenly it's not the game mode or map that it showed in the server list

[green spruce]

True but I would still want the change but I would wait for some updates before that happens

[void prism]

The update that included the goggles included a lot of cosmetics that no player currently owns, and even after some time will probably only ever be owned by .01% or .001% of the player base, or less. There are lots of good cosmetics that can be earned for free by just playing the game.

[dry schooner]

there are lots of cosmetics that I don't like, as well. The goggles are one of the coolest items out there, yet it's locked behind an insanely huge grind and pay wall. "Having other cosmetics that are easier to get" is not an excuse for defending the design choice behind the goggle's achievement. Let's do the math. If you're lucky (and not playing a lobby dedicated to getting the achievement) you'll probably spy on, let's be generous and say 6 people per day. It would take almost 3 full months to unlock the opportunity to PAY for this cosmetic option. I wouldn't have a problem with it if you would automatically unlock it for simply playing the game, but when you combine grinding WITH an additional real-world dollar expense, is it really worth it? Imagine working 3 months to get a hat in real life, and then still having to spend money on it as well. Granted, the devs need funding, but this just feels like an underhanded and manipulative way of doing it. It's like "oh yeah, look, you finally unlocked this cool cosmetic after months of playing. But oh wait, you don't have enough gold coins to buy WHAT YOU ALREADY EARNED. Whoopsie, guess you'll have to buy a gold pack". It's an unacceptable business practice in literally any other field, but since it's a video game it gets a free pass.

overall GGD is a great game as far as UI, interactivity, balancing, gameplay, etc., but this hat just seems like overkill (not to mention the many other cosmetics that are overpriced, as they are extremely simple yet take tens of hours to unlock)

I guess the main point of it all is to create excitement from rarity. Like, x hat is something I've never seen anyone wear, I wanna be one of the few lucky people who do, or similar emotions like that. And I get that.

[ivory herald]

If all the cosmetics were easy to unlock / earn, I know I at least, would feel very unrewarded after say 6months when I haven't unlocked anything in 5 months because I unlocked everything already.

[silver wharf]

We have banners unlocked at level 900 when the highest player level I have ever seen was close to 400. If everything could be gained instantly, then what is going to keep you motivated to play with no more goals to achieve?

[young rain]

I can’t report ppl in game or outside of lobby should I make a ticket?

[scarlet ledge]

If you are playing public lobbies you'll have that option. In private lobbies you will not

[young rain]

It was in a public lobby I thought

Yes it was public so I gotta make a ticket for it then?

[crimson notch]

If the lobby host is allowing it, it is best to find a different lobby.

[young rain]

Oh ok

[silver wharf]

If you don't like something going on in a lobby, and the host is in on it, the best thing to do is find a different lobby

Or what d20 said

[young rain]

Ok

[crimson notch]

If you encounter egregious TOS violations, please report in #troubleshooting-and-bug-reports

[silver wharf]

I am slow on the draw today

[young rain]

Oh my bad

I mean even I agree there are some pretty ridiculous achievements in this game, but like Duck Side was saying, they're figuring for the lifetime of the game for 99.999% of players. Some players already have thousands of hours in and will put in thousands more. The devs plan to keep the game going for years to come. To my understanding, the main additional achievements moving forward are going to be those related to new maps, new roles, new game modes, etc. I thought several of the original locked cosmetics were completely unobtainable, but I did get them eventually, and there is a real satisfaction in reaching long-term goals like that (even in a video game). Having them cost gold is a debatable point, but also if you've played for that long, it is entirely possible to have gotten enough gold through Daily Rewards (and, to my understanding, they are going to be adding another free way to earn gold before year end as well). And, like you said, most games have cosmetics that a very small percentage of players own. It just is a thing in video games, and overall I would say GGD has relatively good options that you can get without spending money in the shop. Some cosmetics are just the devs way of saying "thank you for playing for way more hours than the average player."

[void prism]

I think we have 1-2 players over level 600. I've seen a few in the high 500s.

[latent arrow]

This is the same thing that everyone does with battle passes except they are even more egregious. You have to pay to get the right to unlock it and then you still need to grind it out. Except the difference is most games with battle passes you have already paid a license fee for and in addition they take away the battle pass from you. So you sometimes might pay for the right to unlock an opportunity to earn something and still never get it. We don't believe in that. It's a matter of perspective.

Our game is also 100% free, unlike EVERY OTHER social deception game on steam which asks you to pay $5 or significantly more just for the right to try their game. It's really unfair to a studio that pours 100% of all revenues back into the game for content to assume we're "milking" our players. That's how we keep cranking out new content and features. Also, we have to pay for the servers.

If you think it's greed, I hate to inform you > it's not. We strategically do this to give our dedicated paying players more than just dedicated or just paying players. It's a necessary thing to reward our most loyal fans.

[silver wharf]

Grinding for the 75 wins as a role achievements are my favourite so far. Celeb currently has the most but serial kill has been climbing fast since it got released.

[dry schooner]

I have yet to earn gold through daily rewards despite playing the game for months, so I can't vouch for the idea that the grind will pay for itself

[dry schooner]

Firstly, battle passes I agree are worse. And yes, you do have to pay for servers. It's a free to play game so it's pretty lucky for players that lootboxes aren't a thing. I get it. I also don't mind paying for cosmetics things in games I enjoy playing. My only problem is that you have to do two things that drain (time and money, hence the long grind and then paying for the cosmetic). I'm not saying you guys are "milking" the players. In fact I never used that word. It's merely unfortunate that after being rewarded with a cool item for playing the game for so long, you're still required to pay for it. I suppose that's one way of ensuring steady income. Make sure that players at every level increment and achievement get some new cosmetic, with some locked with real world money. If there's a cosmetic tied to an achievement, don't you think the achievement itself should count as you owning the thing you grinded for? That's my perspective anyway

[dry schooner]

And let loyal fans reward you in turn, looks like. From what it looks like, the cosmetics themselves are not worth the asking price and you are aware of it. The majority of the price is a donation towards keeping GGD alive. I guess that's the trade that must be made when springing for Free to Play?

[latent arrow]

We absolutely do that. We have three different types of players that we need to cater to. Paid and dedicated, dedicated and F2P, and paid and but dedicated. We need to reward each differently.

[latent arrow]

If we charged a license fee to play to be "Among" the other players we wouldn't have to do any of this.

They feel the need to charge you for the game and for cosmetics.

I think its greed, also considering they haven't really reinvested into the game.

Nor do they host voice chat data.

[dry schooner]

Agreed

I do appreciate all the work you all put in, and I mean that

You actually care about your players and in today's gaming scene that's a huge deal

[spare rivet]

Yep, very true.

[dry schooner]

True. Do you ever think it would be better to charge a license fee, though? I can't tell you how many times I have joined games with level 0 mic spammers who constantly recreate their accounts and simply keep playing (is it due to the game being free, idk how it works)

[latent arrow]

You can set the min level to 10

and unlikely that we will do that for GGD1

[dry schooner]

I thought the min level for server hosting was 25+

If you chose that option I mean

[latent arrow]

Oh yeah sorry

I have different internal controls for testing 🙂

[dry schooner]

Ah, gotcha. Tbh, whenever I host a 25+ server it never manages to fill up in a reasonable time

We really need to recruit more players, I suppose

[latent arrow]

We are considering a premium account subscription with higher voice quality + only premium users can join

Also unlimited friends list size

[dry schooner]

Ooo

Interesting. I feel that many would be displeased with the idea, but I am not as experienced as you are

[young rain]

damn that is unfair but very smart for money wise

[latent arrow]

It's not about money again....

Friends lists and keeping them alive/updated costs $$$$

the more friends you have the more data in all directions we need to maintain.

There is a reason why everyone has a cap on friends lists

[dry schooner]

I would think it would need to include an additional small bonus, like perhaps a smol gold payout for daily chests maybe? Just a thought

[latent arrow]

We would give out a unique cosmetic every month to the subscriber.

only available to premium users.

[young rain]

how to get premium?

[latent arrow]

We haven't introduced it yet

It might be later this month

[young rain]

awe

k

[latent arrow]

Still considering it

[dry schooner]

Hmmm. But what if the premium use doesn't want that monthly cosmetic? Should they maybe instead by given some gold coins so they can buy something they want from the shop? Or turn it into a roguelite, where they have 3 cosmetic options each month but can only choose 1

[latent arrow]

don't buy it?

Its a bonus gift

I can just take it off your subscription.

[dry schooner]

Ah, I wasn't sure what you meant

That seems fair

[dry schooner]

Do you have an estimate or early (undecided) idea of how much it would cost per month for a subscription?

[green spruce]

If this exists and I'm unaware please let me know how to turn the setting on but afaik the only way to get rid of incoming friend requests is to deny them individually. I would personally love a setting where you could auto-decline all incoming friend requests.

[latent arrow]

For you or everyone else?

[dry schooner]

I'm considering buying it myself, depending on how much it costs per month

[latent arrow]

We haven't decided yet

We havent even decided if we're doing it yet.

We dont like segregating our players.

[young rain]

oh so if it doesnt happen will the infinite friend list be free?

[sick verge]

#816356997564727367 or DevLogs is a great place to get news regarding upcoming new features. If there isn't news about it, specifics of ideas probably aren't finalized/established yet

[dry schooner]

Congrats on 1 million bird corpses btw. You guys definitely deserve all those players. Absolutely killer job, you guys slaughtered the competition and held a party over their watery grave

Who else? GGD just got 1 million kills

In-game, 1m birds have died

[sick verge]

Think we're heading into #💬︱general territory

#lfg-language select a language to unlock the LFG channel

[void prism]

I've gotten it a few times, but it is pretty rare. 1/50 or 1/100 probably.

[silver wharf]

I opened gold from daily reward a couple days ago

So I can vouch

[near mica]

1 million dead, per day. Remember that it resets every day at the same time.

[young rain]

Oooo

[latent arrow]

Yeah its well over 100m birds since we started counting

probably close to 130m

[stark quest]

When there is a problem with GGD, please post a notice on #816356997564727367 .
#💬︱general was very confusing when had a problem.
Maybe the developer who was looking at the server was having a hard time.
Please post an announcement. Thank you!

[near mica]

Problems with the servers usually had been posted to announcements in the past. I don't know why it wasn't today.

[crimson notch]

Considering the problem didn't appear to actually be a problem with GGD, there might not have been much to announce

[stark quest]

However, many people made the same inquiry on #💬︱general and called the developers. I think it would have been better if it had been clearly announced.

Of course I understand when they need to rest. Thank you every time Gaggle team!

[warm heath]

For those who play GGD and stream the game via mobile devices, will there ever be a fix for sound loss where a person's chat can't hear anything the streamer says during gameplay, and while waiting in the lobby?

[crimson notch]

That's likely something that would need to be fixed with the streaming software or the phone platform, as most mobile devices don't seem to like sharing control of the microphone. You will likely have either GGD using your mic OR your streaming app using the mic, not both.

I know this might seem silly, is there any way the sheriff could have a detain or arrest function to throw someone into jail if they think the person is suspect or a baddie? I know it can happen if two or more people tie in votes during meetings. Of course that would only work on maps with a jailcell.

I can imagine the sheriff selecting someone in the meeting to arrest if someone in the meeting is suspected in the meeting but doesn't get voted out.

[crimson notch]

Probably not, since there's already a Duck that does this

[ivory herald]

It could also allow the Sheriff to confirm their role without any doubt, which the developers try to avoid for geese

The few exceptions there are rely on a duck to help confirm or uncommon circumstances

[near mica]

Or require their deaths.

[alpine mantle]

I am a player from China. One day in the summer of 2022, I was lucky to get into contact with the amazing game. I was attracted by its beautiful art design and interesting game playing methods. So I joined several communities in our country's social software and released room numbers to form a team. I was very happy to meet many friends. However, some changes have taken place in recent days. Because this game is so excellent, it has attracted the attention of some Internet celebrities and game anchors in our country. They have broadcast this game live on live broadcast websites. Sadly, they have invented some bad game playing methods and spread them, that is to say, players are required to speak in order, which is why I wrote this letter, Because all new players believe that "speaking in order" is the correct way to play the game, more than two-thirds of players in China have become followers of "speaking in order", and players in the community often quarrel with this view. I think the game playing method of 'players speak in sequence' is wrong and deviates from the original intention of your team to design this game. Here are my views.

First of all, since this game is called goose goose duck, it is interesting to hope that players should quarrel like goose and duck. Secondly, goose goose duck itself is an among us type game, that is, it adds new elements such as task interaction on the basis of pure dialogue. The game has followed among us traditional playing methods since it was released in October 21, and mutual verification is possible when information is available. It is impossible to avoid the situation that several people are speaking at the same time for information, because some information has the advantage of having the initiative to speak first. Otherwise, if you are voted out because you speak first, you will not let this advantage appear on the other side. Or you can use your information to suppress others, but when you finish your speech, the other player should directly talk to you for dialectics, and then other players will analyze and vote to supplement their information in the process. It is not that there are 14 people in the middle of the 1st position and the 16th position of Maixu's game. Everyone is confused about the 1st information, which makes the retort of the 16th biased‘ Speak in order 'should not exist in this type of game. I once tried the play method of "speaking in order". Players in the room will feel very depressed when playing. Because they are separated from the pure dialogue form, and have more identities, they have no sense of participation and can not play a professional role. They can only rely on what they see to suppress others. Basically, they are good people who are also voted out and can not prove themselves. Finally, I believe that the goose goose duck is originally a parliamentary system, not an ordinary meeting.
I hope your team can make an announcement in the main menu of the game to support players not to blindly pursue the play method of "speaking in order"
Wish good luck in goose goose duck.

我是一名来自中国的玩家。2022年夏季的某一天我幸运的接触到了goose goose duck这款惊艳世人的小游戏，我被它精美的美术设计以及有趣的游戏玩法吸引住了，于是我在我们国家的社交软件上加入了几个社群，并在里面发布房间号码来进行组队，认识了很多朋友甚是开心。但是，在近些天发生了一些变故，由于这款游戏过于出色，吸引了我们国家的部分网红以及游戏主播的关注，他们纷纷在直播网站上直播这款游戏，可悲的是他们发明了一些不好的游戏玩法，并且将这种游戏玩法传播开来，也就是——要求玩家按照顺序发言，这也就是我写这封信的原因，因为所有的新玩家都认为‘按顺序发言’才是这个游戏正确的玩法，导致目前中国地区超过三分之二数量的玩家都成为了‘按照顺序发言’的追随者，而且社群内的玩家也经常因为这个观点吵架。我认为‘玩家顺序发言’这种游戏玩法是不对的并且偏离了贵团队设计这款游戏的初衷，以下是我的观点。

首先，这款游戏既然叫《goose goose duck》就是希望玩家像goose 和duck一样应该吵来吵去，这样才有趣。其次goose goose duck本身就是among us类型的游戏，也就是在纯对话的基础上加了任务交互等新元素，游戏从21年10月发布到现在的玩法都遵循among us传统玩法，有信息尽可能相互验证。避免不了出现同时几个人在发言对信息的情况，是因为部分信息存在着先发言拥有主动权的优势，要不然因为先发言而被投票出局就要不让这个优势在对方身上出现。或者说你可以用你的信息去打压别人，但是在你发言完毕时应该是对方直接和你对话进行辩证，然后由其他玩家进行分析投票，在过程中去补充自己的信息。而不是出现麦序玩法1号位踩到16号位中间隔着14个人，大家都对1号信息模糊了，让16号的反驳出现偏差。‘按照顺序发言’这个玩法本来就不该存在这类型的游戏里面。我曾经尝试过‘按照顺序发言’的这个玩法，玩着玩着房间内的玩家就会感觉很压抑，因为脱离了纯对话形式，多了些身份让大家没有参与感，发挥不出职业的作用，只靠看到的去打压别人，基本上是好人也被投票出局也无法自证。最后，我认为goose goose duck本就是议会制度，而不是普通的meeting。
我希望你的团队能在游戏主菜单中发布公告，支持玩家不要盲目追求“按顺序发言”的玩法。

[alpine mantle]

Now the players in the community are still quarreling about this

Very intense

[crimson notch]

Best advice is to play with people who play the same way you like to play.

[alpine mantle]

So I hope the official can provide a solution or explanation

However, most people are still affected by the game anchor

They recommended some small crowd playing methods to the public, and the public thought that the small crowd playing method was right

That's the point

Now those players who use the rules of sequential speech think that the players who play free speech have no quality

[timber obsidian]

There is no method that is superior to the other

[alpine mantle]

[timber obsidian]

Players from other countries are much less orderly.. it's why we doubled the meeting time

It's not really our place to dictate how people play, if they enjoy the game in that way

[alpine mantle]

What if all the players in China begin to use sequential speaking in the future? This is not what I want to see

[timber obsidian]

Yes, but as unfair as that is for you, i don't think you should get to dictate how they play

If people agree with you, then you can host games where you don't have to speak sequentially

Doesn't everyone win?

[alpine mantle]

What kind of play do you think is right or better

[timber obsidian]

I think the kind of play that is better is that people can choose how they want to play

There is another game called Traitors in Salem

It has an interesting and somewhat unique system... Instead of the voting system this game has, players vote to accuse one player

That player then is given a short period of time to defend themselves, and then everyone votes yes or no, to kill them

[alpine mantle]

[timber obsidian]

I always thought this was an interesting system, albeit longer than I might want

[alpine mantle]

If I can send pictures, you can see how fierce their quarrel is now

[timber obsidian]

where are they quarrelling?

in game? weibo?

[alpine mantle]

Tencent QQ

If you know Chinese

[timber obsidian]

can you show me a link?

[alpine mantle]

It's a little difficult. First, you need to register

[timber obsidian]

I see, it's inside the QQ application

[alpine mantle]

yes

This is the qq group number

743459478

Self organized by players

[timber obsidian]

i tried to install QQ, but i failed

[proud acorn]

Well, I've seen debates about this topic in some games recently as well

We are a small group of friends and we invite friends of friends, our little rule is sequential speech, pretty much like how we play Werewolf Kill and Blood on the Clock Tower when being face to face. Most of us not having much problem with this but someone would add some info after everyone has finished their speech, which others would surely complain about

[timber obsidian]

hey i like blood on the clocktower

[proud acorn]

lol, the other day my girlfriend who hasn't tried GGD watched me play for a while and said "isn't this the geese blood on the clocktower"

[timber obsidian]

i dont think my opinion has changed on the topic

in that i think people who want to play sequentially should be able to and that people who want to speak at their own discretion should be able to as well

[proud acorn]

Can't agree more, I guess that's the key

BTW, there are some confusing Chinese translations in Jungle Temple

[timber obsidian]

oh? whats confusing

[proud acorn]

For example, one of the duties is "Smash pots" in Chinese version, it shows"砸锅子" actually meaning “smash pans" but the objects players gonna smash are indeed pots, which should be"罐子” so the correct translation here should be "砸罐子"

[ivory herald]

We have #translations-report if you'd like to submit any discrepancies you know of

[proud acorn]

ok

[crimson needle]

Rule 12

Please keep what happens in game, in game. If its something you need to discuss please ask to talk to a moderator.

[silver wharf]

The best thing to do is ask the host to remove them from the lobby. If the host doesn't do that then you should probably find a different lobby. Either way a report does not hurt

[latent crag]

They kicked me when I called them transphobic

But now my post is removed and there is no help

[tacit shale]

#troubleshooting-and-bug-reports would be a better place to report players for harassment.

[crimson needle]

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.

[latent arrow]

Moderators call in the bots to help save us time from typing things over and over.

If you name someone in the discord, your message might be deleted.

[latent crag]

They aren't in the discord

[latent arrow]

Or in game.

[scarlet ledge]

We often delete posts that go against the rules of the server

[latent arrow]

We keep what happens in game in the game.

[latent crag]

Too bad, there's no onhand help

I really need support and I don't know where to get it

[latent arrow]

I'm head of the studio... I am here to help but we first ask that you read the bot message.

[latent crag]

I am trying not to go into mental crisis and this is not making me feel like I can get help

I read them

[latent arrow]

Then if there is egregious violations of our EULA and ToS to file a report.

[latent crag]

So you will contact the person and address the issue if I report a person?

[latent arrow]

You're more than welcome to open a ticket in #troubleshooting-and-bug-reports if someone is threatening you or your safety.

[latent crag]

thank you

[latent arrow]

We don't address specific issues in open chat to protect the identity of people involved. We recommend keeping what happens in game in the game. This is a feedback channel, not a report channel.

Reporting someone in game is actually the fastest way to get eyes on it.

[maiden sundial]

I am super sorry that you had a terrible experience while playing my favorite game. I cannot add more to what Shawn is addressing, but I wanted you to know know that I see you. HUGS

[latent crag]

I appreciate that. Thank you.

[silver wharf]

Same here. Don't let a few bad apples spoil the bunch.

[spare rivet]

If it makes you feel any better, the fact they kicked you means they had no retort to what you had to say.

So they took the easy way out. Which means that you essentially won the argument there

[worn bloom]

Just a question, do you have plans to make GGD playable on the Steam Deck?

[zinc mountain]

i actually think it is

[dull void]

Anyone got this problem? I played a game and quit, and entered the game again, and my name became player+a four digit number. How to fix this?

[dry schooner]

I'm happy to see an influx in players of various nationalities and languages, but it also makes me wish it was easier for people to be placed in lobbies where they can understand their fellow birds. In public lobbies, it is quite common for people who can't speak the lobby's tagged language. Is there any way this can be alleviated, besides simply letting the host kick 2 people every several seconds because they can't communicate?

[green spruce]

I think a really nice feature for classic would be a checkbox for dynamic killer/nuetral count that would scale to your lobby size the amount of killers the same way it does in draft.

[silver wharf]

I do second this. The number of times the host just starts a 16 player game and ignore the 5 people saying that ducks and neutrals are still set to 1 each.

[near mica]

When a lobby is created, there should be a language associated with it, at least for public lobbies. If players don't pay attention when joining a lobby that way, I'm not certain what else can be done.

As for private lobbies, the host is usually in control of who gets invited to those.

[silver wharf]

There already is, people just sometimes don't pay attention to it or if there are no lobbies opem for their language.

[near mica]

If there's no lobbies open in their language, they can always create one. But as I said, nothing to be done about them ignoring the language restriction when they join short of the host constantly kicking them before the game starts.

[silver wharf]

The only thing I can think of to deal with this is make it so you can only see lobbies that match the language you set your game to, but I wouldn't like that since I often set my game language to one that I am learning for the practice, while still playing with english speakers.

Would also be limiting to the bilingual audience in general.

[spare rivet]

Could always make it one of those fancy extra options where you can enable/disable only seeing lobbies that have your specific language

preferably with the default state showing all of them

[ivory herald]

Never seen or heard this one before.

[void prism]

While not perfect, it would help significantly. As a host, I have been guilty of forgetting to adjust the ducks/neutrals.

[scarlet ledge]

Pretty sure every host has at one point or another lol

Due to bugs, purchasing the new map is disabled until they fix them, which they are trying very hard to fix asap.

[ivory herald]

Could we potentially have a coat rack placed near the arcade?

[timber obsidian]

Oh, to try on new things?

[stark quest]

Can you make Ancient sand map purchases available in the store and collection as well?

[drifting island]

I (and my friends) want to see my tokens without machine unlock

[ivory herald]

Yeah, when you get things from the arcade machines its a long walk to the wardrobe

[pale shore]

a new card in early access costs 50 gold, then it will be free. What will happen to those users who bought a new map?

[ivory herald]

The early access purchase is only for early access to the map, once early access ends, the map becomes available to all

[stark quest]

Do you have any plans to sell the early access of the admin of the room in the future? If only the room admin is used, everyone who enters can enjoy the map. More expensive, Admin early access

[neon light]

so i used to be able to purchase gold and packs through steam, but now it just takes me to the gaggle website, but i prefer paying through steam. does anyone know why?

[stark quest]

And I want to know how many tokens I have without buying a lottery machine.

[drifting island]

i want to know too

[spare rivet]

You mean you want to see the total amount of materials that have been redistributed into tokens?

[stark quest]

yep. without buying lottery machine.

[low wigeon]

I buy new maps

charged twice

[scarlet ledge]

#troubleshooting-and-bug-reports

[timber obsidian]

restart your game. you can only be charged once, but some combination of lag and clicking fast will make a visual bug

[pseudo hatch]

OK

[quiet wren]

It's sad that need everyone to buy early access to the new Ancient Sands map. I had bought the map, but currently I had about 10~12 friends to play this game, it's hard to make all of the people buy it…

If private room player can share the map with their friend, I think it may get more people want to buy it. It’s acceptable with more expensive price for it.

[green spruce]

When I try to sign in via Gmail on phone it keeps signing me to same one and IT doesnt give me option to choose like it does in other apps

[zinc mountain]

Hey there, I think if you go to your browser on the phone and sign out it could fix the issue

[green spruce]

Will the other machine be free on Christmas? Its a single day event and people will atleast get to use the materials (tokens) they farmed for

[glacial kernel]

I'm a little mixed on how I feel about the new arcade
On one hand: I think it's a good addition that helps you be able to spend each type of token without needing X amount of the others. I also enjoy how the way they're priced means that you're not being charged for every time you play them, making them a lot less predatory than normal loot-boxes (even if that's a low bar)
On the other hand: It feels really annoying to see that more than half of them are locked behind fairly large pay walls (costing $35 just to unlock them all, and you still have to grind for the tokens).
To go even further, I now can't see how many tokens/materials I have outside of the games where they apply, and the games that need to be bought with gold show my gold amount instead of my token amount (so I don't know if the material I had at those levels have been carried over). This means that (if they were carried over), the use of over half of my crafting materials have been put behind a $35 paywall. While the old crafting system was clunkier, it was also fair with it's clunk: It effectively let you buy things without gold if you've been playing for long enough. While I might have not been able to craft anything (mainly due to never getting any purple gears), at least I was building to being able to craft something. This new update has effectively locked all of my progress with the higher 3 tokens behind a paywall.

A way that this could be resolved (at least in my opinion) is to be able to see how many tokens you have in the customization menu, and be able to exchange tokens down a level from there (ie: trading x gold for y greens, y greens for z purple, etc)

This would at least make my progress beforehand be able to be truly carried over, instead of needing to spend gold to be able to use them

[silver wharf]

I do agree with being able to turn gold tokens into purple and purple into blues and so on.

[green spruce]

I bought all the tiers of arcade machines. I spent ~500 hours played of crafting materials I had never really used in the past stored through it and still didn't get the headpiece I wanted. I understand random chance and the claw machine but for how hard it is to get gold crafting materials it seems like it's going to take a while to unlock everything. Also I think my biggest complaint would be that getting the white tokens is extremely disappointing from the gold machine when you don't actually own all of the items in the gold machine. It makes sense for it to wraparound if you do own all of the items but it really shouldn't trigger beforehand. I had I think ~1/3 of my gold pulls turn into white tokens without unlocking the headpieces yet. Also It would probably benefit you guys to sell 2 Gold Claw tokens for ~80 gold coins maybe. I'm the type of psycho that would want to unlock everything right away

[latent arrow]

This is good feedback

It's also extremely unlucky to have 33% of your pulls turn into white gears

The probability of that only goes up after you unlock more items. The chance of getting any specific unlockable never changes though.

If something is 1 in 100 it stays that way.

FYI, nothing is that low.

We can look into changing up some of the tokens but we've seen people with 1000hrs or more already clear out 95% of the machine.

Perhaps we can introduce an npc that trades tokens?

[glacial kernel]

I was thinking, and an idea I had was adding a machine in the arcade that would trade the tokens (like those ticket machines in an arcade when it has actual tickets)

[silver wharf]

I do like that idea. It probably won't happen but perhaps there could be some kind of prize counter where you trade tokens for prizes. In practice it is the crafting mechanic again. So either you can trade more tokens for a guarenteed prize that you want, or you can gamble and spend a few tokens for a random prize.

[ivory herald]

I know that I had 33 gold tokens and won a few extra from the purple machine (5 I think) and the machine had 20 items, now has 10 which, given that it costs 2 tokens to play, is greater than 50% odds to get a new item instead of gold, silver or other tokens
It's just human nature to spot patterns where there are none

[spare rivet]

I was just surprised that the machine ate my materials so quickly

I really thought I should've had a lot more

[ivory herald]

Just like a real claw machine!

[spare rivet]

yeah they tend to do that lol

[raw widget]

Will we ever be getting ability achievements for the newer roles? It just feels weird there aren't when most other roles do. Some ideas r killing n amount of targets (for serial), killing n amount of ppl w locusts (for warlock), and lockpicking n amount of times (one in general like picking up key achievement and one for street urchin?). Can't think of any achievement for tracker goose tho.

[near mica]

I think for serial killer, it might be easier to track something like "get your cooldown under 15 seconds".

[ivory herald]

We likely will. I think getting the map released and playable was more important overall.

Remember, its early access, so its technically not finished yet

[raw widget]

They can track when ninja double kills tho n the game can tell when u got a target for the kill cooldown, so i feel like its possible to track? I feel like getting cooldown to the lowest of 6s seems more like a 1 time kinda achievement, or it could b a couple of times

Forgot to mention that I feel like the enter falcon hunt achievement should also include the pelican too? Since peli doesn't have an ability achievement n they r similar

[thorn hedge]

#live-birds Needs to be updated!

[ivory herald]

There were some talks about editing it, I'll go poke them with a stick until they ban me

[scarlet ledge]

🔨

[silver wharf]

Or maybe a seperate achievement. Call it "still room for dessert" or something like that.

[ivory herald]

The problem with that is it doesn't always end the game

[silver wharf]

I thought the achievement was just for entering falcon hunt.

[raw widget]

ye

[ivory herald]

Oh I thought they were talking about the hidden achievement related to the falcon

[raw widget]

Ohh the hunter gets hunted?

[silver wharf]

That's killing the falcon during falcon hunt I think. Still possible do to with pelican though.

[raw widget]

Also, an achievement related to the mummy sab would b fun too since there r cargo, chand, poison, shuttle, and teleporter achievements.

[silver wharf]

I can see there being an achievement for the new sabs. They do have one for getting a kill woth the teleporter

[raw widget]

Yee since they r related i feel like they should b combined like how mech, snoop, n tech achievements were kinda combined. Or maybe more of how mummy n vamp have an achievment of monster 100 wins

[scarlet ledge]

well mech snoop and tech were combined along with the role

they kind of had to be

[silver wharf]

I do think there should be more achievements regarding the role's power. Obsessed: kill the target 4 times in a match as serial killer. The 5th plague: get a kill with locusts as warlock. How are you still hungry?: digest 4 people in a single meeting as pelican.

[ivory herald]

I could see an achievement for summoning the mummy say 100 times, but not for getting kills with the mummy sab, since its not really controlled by a player

A pigeon, engineer or Mimic can also just loop the mummy forever near a forbidden passageway

[scarlet ledge]

XD the mummy is definitely the definition of a double edged sword

Double Edged Sword Achieve: Get killed by the mummy as a duck

[near mica]

Or, because of the death animation: This Sucks.

[dry wind]

I'm always down for more achievements. It's something we're discussing. Priority has been getting new content, so the base achievements for roles are easy to format. I'm sure we'll add more unique ones in the future. I'm working on some ideas.

[green spruce]

It also wouldnt be bad to make machines free on Christmas, there are some people that spent 1000 hours + grinding those materials and now they cannot use em, but thats up to Devs, I understand they gotta run the game somehow.

[spare rivet]

In my opinion, it would make more sense for the option to switch hosts to be in the table with all the other lobby settings.

I find that some people get confused on how to switch hosts, since it's the one option that's in the Players list rather than on said table.

[green spruce]

I just farmed all morning for crafting materials doing tasks for 3 hours straight I was lucky enough to get enough materials for one pull on the blue machine because I had won ~9 tokens from green. Naturally I got 1 gold coin from the blue machine. I paid 100 gold coins to basically get my crafting materials destroyed into 1 penny of what I paid. That actually does feel a lot like a lootcrate loss from csgo but you have to spend ~4-8 hours to get those materials on top of your money. I really just wish I could have the one item I want from there. I'm also worried I burned all my materials and won't be able to collect the seasonal items but I'll be doing tasks til my hands go numb to try to get what I paid for. Normally prefer talking to others to doing tasks so theres really no way to grind crafting materials by playing outside of completing tasks. Maybe a random drop chance at the end of games. Also It really should show you how many crafting materials you have before you purchase the machine. I purchased the 250g machine for my wife's account and she didn't even have any tokens for it.

[crimson notch]

I wonder if arcade tokens might get added to the daily login bonuses 🤔

[little crest]

Didn't think of the as gold farms but then again especially once the low tiers get spent up you get a better chance of earning gold so they really do add up in the long run. Guess that's also a big benefit of the new system so nobody gets stuck with like 400 useless grey gears left twiddling their thumbs for a new limited craft item.

[near mica]

Are they not already? The gears were previously obtainable, so I had assumed those would've been directly replaced with the tokens.

[crimson notch]

Login everyday to find out!

[viral coyote]

The gears icon on the daily rewards will give you tokens instead

[spring wharf]

It would be nice to NOT lose tokens playing a game and winning the same prizes you've already won. This HAS happened to me a few times now. Today I won the Wuf T-Shirt again, which I already had. Still took the tokens and didn't aware a second shirt or give other options.

[silver wharf]

You're not supposed to get duplicates. If you are then it is a bug.

[crimson notch]

Could you open a ticket in #troubleshooting-and-bug-reports please? The team may like to ask some further questions

[raw widget]

I noticed in a couple AS games that ppl can't seem to read the text of the names of places that well, so mayb changing the color, making it bigger, or putting a bolder border would help? Compared to other maps, the color is a bit bright for the white text.

[silver wharf]

I think allowing the player to unlock, use, and fix sabotages in freeplay/explore mode would be nice for new players to learn how they work before their first duck game, and any player trying out a new map.

[safe mesa]

I've scrolled up a bit in this channel but not all the way so I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already. The fire sabo on ancient sands seems far too powerful in its current state. In 50+ games I've only seen it successfully fixed 3 or 4 times. If too many people are dead it feels like an auto loss the moment it's called. Perhaps an increase on the amount of time to put it out and/or making doors not callable during fire like with the bell sabo on basement could be explored?

[scarlet ledge]

Are you meaning on AS specifically? Haven't seen a problem with it on the other maps

[safe mesa]

Yeah, forgot to specify

[scarlet ledge]

ah alright lol. haven't seen it go off often enough on AS yet to really have an opinion myself

[raw widget]

Maybe a level down compared to what it is now would b better bc ik there r diff amounts of fires based on number of ppl. I kinda feel like its too much tho

[safe mesa]

The mummy sabo feels really good in my experience! Great addition to the game

[silver wharf]

I feel like an increase to the duration of the fire sabo proprotional to the number of living players is a good idea.

[raw widget]

Yeee i think a lil increase in duration instead is better bc by playin a bit more, ppl seem to b getting better at doing fire

[near mica]

From the little I've seen, it is a bit harder to put out the fire when you have to get the bucket instead of just going to an extinguisher. Whether that is the main problem or not, we'll see.

[crimson notch]

I think it's mostly an experience issue. All the previous fire sabotages were fixed just by going to the location and putting it out with an extinguisher

The AS fire works a little more like the feeding the God/Yeeucky

[young rain]

is it my internet or is it just me bcs i keep having offline errors and everything else are working but not GGD should i make a ticket then?

and it seems its logging me out a couple of times too

[crimson notch]

ppl sees me online when im online but it says im offline

and i dont see anyone having the same problem from last time it happened

and even it shows me my friends are online but i cant join them bcs i lag out of the game most of the time so far idk how long its been like maybe close to an hour it seems

and i really want to get more grey coins to buy that christmas sweater dress so badly with the white beanie with the bangs ugh so much bad luck for me

maybe it was the built vpn acting up maybe idk

nope F

There is a spot in the Sound tab where you can test if your mic in the lobby. It's right next to where you select the input device, just in case the wrong one is selected.

[graceful panther]

Oh ok gotcha. Thx for the feedback imma try it out

I just got my phone updated that's why im doing it now

And I created a ticket and they got back to me, then haven't received anything since so ig I'll hear from them in the morning

[void prism]

The problem I notice with the fire on AS is the sheer amount of action and cooperation needed. Each non-duck player needs to successfully use 1-2 buckets of water for the fire to go out. You'll have to see once there are public lobbies, but I can only imagine the issue being worse in public lobbies. If the ducks are smart enough to not kill players during fire, that timer disappears fast.

[ivory herald]

I thought it was only 3 buckets, like other sabotages

[void prism]

But it's 3 per fire, and I've seen 3 fires with half the lobby dead, I'm pretty sure

There just hasn't been another sabotage requiring this amount of commitment to fix

[ivory herald]

The developers will probably be monitoring it (part of why its early access) but I can say I've never seen a single win to the fire

[void prism]

That fascinates me. I've seen more wins off of it than times I've seen it fixed. It has been interrupted by bodies quite a few times, though. But that could be our group dynamic, who knows.

I am not surprised that the beta testers can work as a unit. As for the rest of the player base...

[timber obsidian]

we'll keep watch, i'm sure there's an adjustment period

the number of fires generated actually scales to the number of living players

[void prism]

I'm aware of it scaling, I'll have to keep a closer eye out for player count vs fire number.

[timber obsidian]

Main menu needs a shop window beneath the "Logged in as" and above "discord logo and theme change button".
A shop window slide with 3-4 navigable pages showing limited cosmetics and coin offers.
Or change the UI to put it somewhere. Buying the early access for map should have been on page 1 instead of Play>Game Mode>Select map.

[ivory herald]

I swear, every single time Herbert has offered somebody something in return for something they've done, every single time, they've requested that sunflower

[silver wharf]

I would have requested a pelican outfit just for me, similar to the one I had posted and had shut down in cosmetic ideas lol.

[dry wind]

We have plans to introduce a seasonal machine in there in the future. We haven't spoken too much on how it will work, and it's still subject to change, but the current idea is it will be active for a certain amount of time (likely 30-60+ days). After purchasing it you will be able to play the machine, and every pull is a guaranteed limited available cosmetic. There will be no getting any other currency if you still have cosmetics in that machine. Our current thought process is seasonal tokens may drop for it, so you don't have to feel the need to horde all your current tokens to keep up. We want to make it easily accessible, and easy to empty that machine if you purchase it, as it is limited.

We have a number of other things we are working on, so that machine isn't a top priority at the moment. We want to add a bit of polish to some of the current systems.

[spark narwhal]

As a user who loves Goose Duck, after experiencing numerous editions, I have several questions and leave a message.

1. When a Canadian goose is mistakenly killed by a sheriff or vigilante in a basement foggy cave, the body is washed down the river without being reported.

2. If the meeting is held at the same time the bomb maniac gives the bomb to the goose, the next round bomb will disappear.

3. When the detective investigates the disguise master, if the disguise master kills a goose while disguised, the devil appears while disguised, but an angel appears when the disguise is off. Is this intentional?

4. When an invisible duck kills a goose and runs away using a skill, if a nearby goose presses on the corpse, the duck with the invisible skill is sometimes seen.

[timber obsidian]

yes no (lag) yes no (lag)

[spark narwhal]

Thank you for your valuable reply. her beautiful bird. However, in the case of 2 and 4, I know that not only me but also 2 is a problem experienced by many players, and in the case of 4, there were many cases where the invisible duck was caught. Is it just a simple personal lag?

Even later, If I can prove these data while playing, would it be okay to attach and upload them?

[timber obsidian]

of course

generally speaking, to explain how it works, our server is the only perspective that 'counts'

so on your screen you may have passed the bomb

but if its at the 'exact time' as a meeting, the server may not have seen it yet

[spark narwhal]

Thank you so much! Thanks to you, some of my questions have been resolved.

[near mica]

I may be misunderstanding your number 2 question, but if the bomb hasn't started ticking, the system counts it as if it hasn't been handed off. As the bomber, it's frustrated me a couple times of not successfully passing off a bomb.

[scarlet ledge]

I'm pretty sure that is what herbert just said

[green spruce]

I think a great update to mallard manor / goosechapel would be to throw people in the water where the fishing task is similar to the poke body area on basement. In the same way i think it would also be cool to stuff someone in sarcophogus on ancient sands

[static oriole]

I wanted to agree with this one....I think the geese have only managed to put out 2 fires once when I was playing and that was with a full lobby. It's like having 2 god sabos going off at the same time and feels just impossible!

[timber obsidian]

Okay guys we just nerfed it

[void prism]

I noticed. It's quite reasonable to fix now

[void prism]

I went ahead and added this to the claw machine guide since this seems like a relatively official statement.

You should probably go to #troubleshooting-and-bug-reports

[warped lance]

I am the only one who does not get the purpose of the “Astral” role? It seems like a worst version of the Bird Watcher.

And I think it’s been like that since the release.

[alpine nacelle]

Astral is like Birdwatcher for your ears

[warped lance]

But, for that the ducks would need to say something in the moment I use the power that would reveal them as ducks, wouldn’t this be extremely situational?

[scarlet ledge]

same could be said for birdwatcher

[warped lance]

I disagree, it’s less situational to see someone doing a “Duck thing” trough a wall: sabotaging, vents, killing. Then hearing someone with Astral.

I never say anything when I kill, why would I risk?

[scarlet ledge]

just because you don't doesn't mean no one does

i quite often like to make humorous quips before i kill someone

[warped lance]

Idk, I like the concept, but I think that’s mostly unusable

If you could travel trough the spirit or something like that it would be fun

But probably too strong

[scarlet ledge]

that's part of the beauty of the game in my eyes, it is up to you to figure out how to use a role to make it useful to you

[warped lance]

I think every role is good

Just not Astral

(In my opinion)

I used to hate Bird Watcher as well

[scarlet ledge]

nothing wrong with having an opinion

[warped lance]

Now it’s my favorite role

[scarlet ledge]

i love flying around and spying on people as astral

[warped lance]

Me too

That’s the thing

I love the mechanic so much

I just wish it was more useful

[scarlet ledge]

a lot of it boils down to the fact that the geese are not supposed to have super powerful abilities. they are supposed to work together to piece information they gather and figureout who the ducks are

medium is a good example of this, they used to be able to see the ghosts of players, which was a fun mechanic, but it gave the geese too much information

[warped lance]

I also love Medium

To me the Astral problem is that with the other roles the gooses can generate informations by themselves

With Astral you need a Duck mistake (talking when they kill someone or go into a vent)

[scarlet ledge]

even as birdwatcher, if you see someone kill, how do you know they aren't the vigilante? sheriff? morphling?

with a voice, if you have a good enough ear you can 100% say who it was

even if they are disguised

[warped lance]

There’s no way to know, but you’re generating a information without needing the other player mistake.

[warped lance]

And that doesn’t really matter to Astral

[scarlet ledge]

you still need to see them kill, which is situational. You have to guess where a kill might happen and look through the wall at the right time

[warped lance]

Since he does not see colors

[scarlet ledge]

yes, but colors can be fooled by identity thief and morphling anyways, voices cannot

[warped lance]

Yes

I just think that Astral should have something else

I just dk what

[warped lance]

By this I say some “buff”

Not an ability change

[silver onyx]

怎么玩呢

[crimson needle]

Looking for a group to play with?

Select your language in #lfg-language to access your language's LFG channel, and then post a code there or join a game.

[glacial kernel]

The astral for me is kinda like the avenger: its less likely to end up being used, but when it does it’s also less likely to misfire than other roles

[spare rivet]

I feel like it could use some sort of buff, but I'm not really sure how that could be done without being too strong.

It's not a useless role by any means, but it's very situational like Avenger is, yeah.

Maybe make the ghost form move faster, but with a smaller duration.

[sinful peak]

i noticed that there was an update which has pc user wardrobe show their gachapon coins, but the mobile version doesn’t have this, will we be getting this? bc it’s annoying to not know coinage and a huge reason i refuse to even purchase the more expensive claw machines is bc i don’t know if i have 5 or 500 gold claw machine coins.

[sick verge]

It was a quick update we were able to throw into a PC update, it will be coming to mobile in a future update

[near mica]

@warped lance I was using the Astral ability once, and I saw the morphling change. (It was just gray to white, but still enough of a sign.) I went down to see who it was and caught who the morphling was and called a meeting. They weren't voted out, but that's just the lobby, not the fault of the Astral.

Now Tracker, I have yet to find usable information from. Of course, that's because the one time I had the role, people reported bodies before the sandstorm stirred up.

[void prism]

The most useful thing I can think up is to catch someone in a lie, but why lie about your location at the start of the sandstorm?

[silver wharf]

One useful use is "how likely is it that I will die if I stay outside". Another is "okay 2 of the 5 living players are also outside, if I go in the pyramind and a body is found there, then all 3 of us are clear and it has to be the last guy.

[glacial kernel]

Hey quick note, could Y’all please make it so you can’t get tokens for an arcade machine you haven’t unlocked yet? I just got 4 blue token’s despite not having the blue machine unlocked

[leaden fossil]

Then you wouldn't have any tokens when you do unlock it

[glacial kernel]

Understandable, have a great day

[warped lance]

Wouldn’t the Bird Watcher do a better function in this example?

[near mica]

But I wasn't Birdwatcher, I was Astral. The point isn't that Birdwatcher does it better, but that it does still work.

[warped lance]

The document of “Roles” say that they don’t want a role to be just a better version of another, so I think that it does matter.

[ivory herald]

For me, Astral is most useful to spy on who is doing tasks versus who is not. Fly into a room and check on the person you just left, or if you see somebody pass you in a room full of people, fly around and see what they do in the next room, maybe they're heading to that sabotage task or maybe they'll walk through the fog while they think nobody is around.

[void prism]

Or if you know where people tend to have private conversations, you can choose to send your spirit there

[harsh plume]

Serial Killer should probably not be able to target Canadian, its an auto lose for them at that point the last 5 rounds we had

[void prism]

Hitman can target Canadian too. Unfortunately, it's just part of the role.

[near mica]

It's also not an autolose. First off, you don't have to kill on cooldown; that can help people think someone else did it. Second, if there's a professional, you can try and blame it on them so long as their cooldown is up. Third, distract people enough that they don't vote you out and use the faster cooldown to slaughter before they can call another meeting.

[jaunty lark]

Add the ability to control roles given in Draft. I usually only play with 5-6 players and some roles are very suppressive in those lobbies.

[void prism]

Draft is definitely designed for a full or nearly full lobby. If you want better balance, I would suggest Classic.

[jaunty lark]

Well it's a party game based around just having fun, no? We do not enjoy classic at all. More editing features is only ever a bonus.

[void prism]

To each their own. I enjoy the chaos of small lobby Draft, but a lot of people I know don't

[jaunty lark]

That's completely fair, however we find some roles VERY suppressive (pigeon) when we do not have a sheriff/vigilante. Pelican also 😭

[void prism]

Yup, neutrals are strong in small lobbies.

[ivory herald]

Classic is indeed the mode designed for chill fun. Draft was designed with a more competitive edge in mind for those who wanted a more serious game. It also just happens to get used by players who want choices with their role, but that was never the intention in its design

[crimson notch]

Lobby host could always set their own "house rule" that everyone agrees not to pick certain roles

[spare rivet]

One change that Serial Killer could potentially have to change the 'Target canadian' problem, is for their target to change after every meeting.

I don't particularly need that myself, but it's at least an option to consider.

That way, they would at least not be stuck being like "I can't kill my target since they're canadian"

unless they're good at smooth talking their way out of it

Would also prevent people like engineer and pigeon from just hiding forever so they can't get the kill

[green spruce]

“Hey guys this is professional, the body was invisible and I stumbled upon it”

[spare rivet]

yep or just like "They kept getting close to me and cornering me so I freaked out and killed. I'm vigilante"

[green spruce]

or better case scenario:
You saw a vigi kill a goose for unknown reason so you killed another goose and claim avenger

and by I mean Canadian

[dark egret]

Honestly you can get away with poor excuses themselves. Like for instance as dodo I instantly reported a failed sheriff with a witness nearby and was nearly voted out to be murdered by someone thinking I was falcon. Sometimes even the bizzar explanations can throw everyone off. My excuse that meeting was "uhhh" 😂 don't have to try so hard all the time with excuses

[spare rivet]

Yeah, that's one of the few issues with it. Along with Engineer hiding forever, or having Canadian be your target.

I think having a new target after each meeting would rectify this. If you know the Canadian's your target, you can just not kill them or simply kill someone else that round.

Same with a target that keeps hiding from you.

[timber obsidian]

this is a pro, not a con

you know know someone is an engineer without requiring to do anything, and they have no idea

[spare rivet]

actually it's kinda both, but I see your point

[crimson notch]

To be fair, that still doesn't stop you from killing someone else

Just as there are times when it would be beneficial for a Ninja to do a solo kill, more often than not, it would be better for the Serial Killer to do any kill as opposed to waiting for the right time to get their target

[spare rivet]

Well, a ninja can still double kill any two people whenever. Serial Killer doesn't have that luxury with someone that continues to hide all game

[crimson notch]

Point being, kill someone else

It is more beneficial for the Ducks to make a kill, even if it results in a slightly higher cooldown, rather than just waiting doing nothing

People get caught up in the mindset that they HAVE to kill the target, resulting in misplay

[spare rivet]

The target hiding forever cripples the Serial Killer's ability to play their role properly, though.

I know they can kill anyone they want, despite getting longer cooldown for it.

I still love the role as a whole, don't get me wrong. But I can understand that there's some frustrations with being hard locked on the same target.

[alpine nacelle]

It is in this way a Pigeoneer can suspect a person who knows they're in a hiding spot of being Serial in cases where nobody has seen them enter said hiding spot, when someone's in front of it begging for them to get out.

[silver wharf]

If you have proxy on, you could let your buddies know your target is pigeon, and then if assassin is on, they can take care of the problem.

[spare rivet]

I mean, that'd just be the Serial Killer being sloppy by saying too much. But I get what you mean

[silver wharf]

Did not mean to @ someone there

[near mica]

Not with telepathy, or in the secret room in Black Swan, or a couple other careful techniques.

[spare rivet]

Not really sure what that has to do with Serial Killer begging someone to get out of their hiding spot. Misunderstanding here, perhaps.

[crimson needle]

Those are all ways to tell a partner (specifically an assassin) how to deal with your problem. Then the serial killer gets a new target and all is good. 🙂

[drifting kindle]

Honesty, Bounty Hunter in TOR is better than SK in GDD.

Opinions aside, I would like this see a potential switch of targets every round, but that would make SK a bit more powerful if anything. Maybe every 2 to 3 rounds, the target changes if that target has not been killed just to not guarantee a SK kill every round? In any case, with its current build, it works fine. You can easily say to your partners that my target is a venter, and can potentially kill them in and out of meetings. You can even simply turn off the venter roles if the hosts wants to and if these things keep happening, which admittedly, I personally don’t like that solution of balancing the mode with optional roles, but it is what it is.

[timber obsidian]

yes, we do see it as a matter of balance

we dont often the same level of granularity as TOR or other mods of amongus, and i think that's probably a better direction for us to stay in

[crimson notch]

I killed 4 people in under 20 seconds as Bounty Hunter in TOR. We don't need that in GGD

[drifting kindle]

Not sayin that we need a Bounty Hunter change, I was honestly joking. SK is great.

And I’m glad it can work on its own.

[timber obsidian]

🤷‍♂️

usually when someone refers to the power level of a role in GGD relative to one in a modded among us, I think it lacks the surrounding context of balance

and it doesn't really make so much sense to compare them directly

like saying that rock in RPS is pretty strong, but not as strong as the thimble in monopoly

[spare rivet]

I'm not even hard pushing SK to be changed. I think it's a great role as it is.

But the fact still stands that Serial Killer's whole shtick gets halted entirely, if they get unlucky enough to get someone who hides forever.

Which, worst case, could be for the entire game if they get Pigeon or Engineer as their target on round one.

And also if the target is Canadian. They have to kill them too to progress their ability, and knowing the target's Canadian just gives you the same issue.

Anyways, I didn't mean to diss on the role whatsoever. But it's just my observation on it right now.

[ivory herald]

I agree with the above, but I also enjoy coming up with ways to get around those situations

[faint meadow]

I killed my target (engineer, he would come out of hiding occasionally) in front of 4 other people last night and yelled "Finally!"
I did it mostly because everyone was grouping so I wanted to just progress the game and make it fun.

[green spruce]

how do the devs feel about instant cast mortician

[ivory herald]

Initially the mortician was going to be instant, but they decided to do it differently.
By instant, I mean you would eat the body and taste their role.
"This tastes funny, must be a dodo"

[near mica]

Herbird still likes the idea of a mortician eating the body to analyze it, but to my knowledge there's no actual plan to currently change it.

[green spruce]

I mean…it’s a best way to know what their role is

[timber obsidian]

Does that work on mobile? 😅 @ivory herald

[ivory herald]

It is specifically what you need to do on mobile.
It does not need to be done on the desktop version of Discord

[ivory herald]

I think you have one too many 0s in there

[near mica]

I'm pretty sure I didn't, but perhaps it's changed. It was a large number, either way.

[void prism]

I'm pretty sure I earned R-ejected on a non-space map. At the time, it wasn't as high of a priority because the majority of the maps were in space. That is no longer the case. This wording is what made me notice it. I think it may have mentioned space before, but I'm sure that I checked and noticed that I was making progress on a non-space map sometime ago. I always thought it was odd because every other hidden steam achievement is nearly exclusive to the space maps.

The change may not have been that recent, but I can say that there was a time when you could earn R-ejected on any map.

[near mica]

I think you're right on that. I joined shortly after Manor was added, and while I wasn't checking my achievements regularly back then, I'm pretty sure I earned notches for every time I was voted out.

[ivory cedar]

For dine and dash the kill cool down for the ducks is kinda too long

well the first one before any kill

[spare rivet]

It's something that people use to determine who the falcon is though

If someone can kill faster than that cooldown, they know the falcon is among them

[ivory cedar]

Oh i see

i still think less time would be better though but it's a good point

[crimson notch]

It's definitely part of the balancing. If you're with a small group and a kill notification happens, you know none of the group is Falcon (but could still be the Vulture!)

[little crest]

I do agree the pacing at the start could be better.

[spare rivet]

I guess the kill cooldown for the ducks could be slightly lower at the start, but it should still be higher than the falcon

[crimson notch]

I feel it's at a good balance. The high cooldown for the Ducks allows time to explore and try to find others and clear each other by morphing. Lowering the kill cooldown very much would just turn it into a Goosechapel pub-style bloodbath. Moreso than Dine and Dash already is

[near mica]

Every time I play Dine and Dash with a new group, the ducks tend to indiscriminately slaughter. The one good thing about the initial long cooldown is it protects you that little bit and lets you either gather together or spread out, depending on your preferred strategy.

[little crest]

So true, everyone just stands there wondering “now what?” and as soon as the cooldown resets half the lobby gets murdered nearly instantly

[void prism]

It also gives you time to explain the mode to new players, although half the time they just start murdering anyway

[spare rivet]

Are you supposed to be able to hear whoever you look at as Birdwatcher? For example, when there's several walls in between you and the person you look at?

Because it happened to me

[crimson notch]

I believe the only time you should hear through walls is when seeing through peephole spots

[spare rivet]

I was at the armour stand in Mallard, and I was looking upon a person at the leafpile (so two walls in between) and I could hear the sound of their fart

And also the ticking noise of someone else in another spot, with a wall in between me and them

Neither of which had a peeping hole.

[crimson notch]

I don't think that's intended

[ivory herald]

It is definitely new if it is intended, this is the second instance of this I've heard (though I didn't realise the first time until I read this just now)

[alpine nacelle]

I've only been able to hear bomb ticking through walls as Birdwatcher. The times I thought I heard voices was actually just someone near me I didn't see until I looked around myself, and not people I was trying to observe through walls.
I have noticed you can hear a person ticking when you see them through walls with Birdwatcher, but not their voices.

[spare rivet]

Yeah, that would make sense. It's probably only fart noises and the ticking bomb sounds so far. I feel like I would've noticed being able to overhear people sooner with it.

I'll try to keep track of it, though.

It has certainly been considered

[spare rivet]

Not really directed towards you specifically, just wanted to use that message as a reference

sorry for the tag, but thanks for responding

[spare rivet]

[timber obsidian]

i'll say that we've definitely considered it before, and that we will continue to consider it in the future

and its also something that we can change, easily, but currently think it leads to funnier moments

[spare rivet]

Can be frustrating if your duck play falls apart because of it, but I understand where you're coming from lol

[timber obsidian]

well, its really technically a skill cap thing as well

the undertaker should kill first

just like if you're in a scenario with a professional, they should kill last

[spare rivet]

that kinda blends together for double kills tho

[timber obsidian]

right, im saying its a matter of skill

so if you're a professional, if you had the requisite knowledge, it would make sense for you to wait for your partner to initiate a doublekill, for example

and killing first would be a mistake, and i think a pretty funny one a lot of the time

it definitely does make it more difficult for the ducks

[spare rivet]

Assuming you have that knowledge, yeah

[timber obsidian]

right

and hopefully after the first amusing time you drag a body accidentally in front of a group of people

[spare rivet]

"sounds like a skill issue lol"

[brittle tide]

I actually won a game by eating instead of killing. Accidently ate a body next to a person fixing a sab, instead of killing them, and that actually cleared me.

[near mica]

Did they see you eat the body and thus thought you to be vulture? Or did they think you were also trying to fix the sabotage, and thus spared another round?

[brittle tide]

Thought I was also fixing sab. My partner killed next to me and I ate the body and that ended up clearing me because I think we were on 5 after the sab fix? So the other person thought I was full clear cause we were also together the whole round.

I'm a slow killer and like to marinate my goose so it's nice and yummy by the end lol

[near mica]

From the sounds of it, a kill would've ended the game right there and then, but it is still a situation where eating might be better than killing.

[brittle tide]

Yeah all we needed was a double kill but it still worked out in the end. And admittedly I get a bigger thrill marinating someone until the end and having them break down about how it's impossible for me to be a killer. ^.^

[final ruin]

I see, thanks for letting me know! Still, maybe make the ending screen skip on click or something so that each player can decide for themselves whether they'd like to see it for a few seconds more? Or at least make it an option? I don't think this settings alone would promote toxic behavior. Dead players can spectate anyways and usually at the end of each game most players are dead, so they don't need an more verbose ending screen to get toxic—it's just a quality of life upgrade for those goose who managed to survive far away from the spotlight to learn a bit more about what actually happened in the world at large

I remember when the claw machines were described as win every time on the devlog. You really shouldn't be able to go from the gold machine to white tokens without clearing the gold machine first. It just feels like progress is destroyed so often once your chance for silver increases and you can never actually get the items you want that you bought it for. I've done 10k tasks since the last update, Pretty much stopped playing goose and just speedrun tasks to see how miserable the grind to get the skin I want is and I'm starting to question my sanity. If you complete the task cheetah achievement for 25k tasks can you expect to clear all machines? It seems like the more you progress the higher your chances of having a whole day of speedrunning tasks burnt to 150-400 silver. I'm lvl 230 with 15.5k tasks done btw.

Please make the claw machines cheaper also if you spend 2,000 gold to unlock them you should atleast get enough coins with it to use ! and the pets should give you 100 per game so we can get 300 daily , please add daily challenges

[void prism]

The value of the items in the machines is worth many times their unlock cost in gold. The items are not meant to all be gotten quickly.

[green spruce]

Even if it's not meant to be earned quickly it still feels like the opposite of fun to have days of progress destroyed at random chance. Why not just have the materials earned at a rate where you unlock them relative to what the developers intend instead of having the chance to destroy progress increase

[void prism]

It's not lost. You always get something for each play.

ive earned 100k silver since the update just playing doing the tasks, earning 150 silver for two days of progress is a slap in the face erpecially when you pay money for it initially.

[crimson notch]

I think those are definitely valid feelings.

[void prism]

I'm sorry that you had bad luck with it, believe me I've had some bad luck with it too. There were problems with the crafting system and there are problems with this system. There will never be a perfect system that everyone is happy with.

[green spruce]

Okay look I'm sure you guys have spent a lot of money and R & D and hours creating the math to divide the tokens but it would still make a lot more sense to me if the machines truly were win every time and you just earned the coins at a slightly lower rate it wouldn't bother me at all its just the days where your progress burns that I really am not a fan of. And i love ggd and do feel like you get quite a lot out of the machines for the value if you clear it all

[near mica]

I feel like the silver coin rewards are more of a consolation prize, the closest to losing as they come. Even upgrading the tokens feels like a side step. However, I feel it's a necessary prize for when all the others are gone so that they don't reward nothing but gold coins.

If we we charged a licsense fee for the game not relying solely on cosmetics to fuel the servers (hosting voice is very $$$) we would absolutely do that. Silver is your progress and getting tokens to use in the gacha game is purely secondary. If we made the claw machines easier to win or obtain their value would be higher than the standard progression of the game. It would also significantly decrease the rarity of these items and even devalue the ones people pay real money for.

We're already giving a ton of ways so that players who can't support us can still dress up. We've analyzed other free to play games and we're giving away far more content than most if not all. Keep in mind the entire game and all of its features are not pay-walled.

Asking us to make the coolest rarest cosmetics easy to get is basically telling us to shut down the servers. 😞

An analogy I heard is that we're giving the meal for free and we only charge for the alcohol, heck we're ok slipping a few shots onto the table. We just can't give away the top shelf.

Being as honest and transparent as we can.

[long shore]

i think this game need anti-cheat

[void prism]

It already has some anti-cheat features built in. What type of cheating have you been seeing?

[latent arrow]

[glass reef]

When I join the game, it said rate exceeded then log out my account then when I log in back, it said rate exceeded again and quit the game. It keeps repeating after I relaunch the game. How do I fix this?

[normal bane]

report bugs:I bought the early access of the map Ancient Sands

but I got kicked when the game started and it said I don't own the map

[ivory herald]

Open a ticket in #troubleshooting-and-bug-reports and someone will respond when they can

[void prism]

All I've got to say is that Fowl Play was mentioned in the Discord before I started playing, and we still don't have it. That's over 18 months.... I am still excited for it, but it's feeling more and more like a third Valve installment.

[sick verge]

Now I understand what happened with Half Life 3

[latent arrow]

It's in development

It's a real thing

[void prism]

I'll believe it when I see it. We'll probably have the Pirate Ship map first.

[sick verge]

The #🎨︱fan-art was pretty good, but its real we promise

[void prism]

I know it is, but it's more fun pretending it's not.
