Parallel Kingdom Reborn

Good call, this is in. Shield Charge now sits right under Attack, with Throw a Net below it, so a press that misses Attack costs you a cooldown instead of a net. Throw a Fire Bomb moved below Shield Charge too, for the same reason.

It works this way on a creature's menu and on a player's. On the phone app it needs the latest build from the Android Test Client post.

Thanks for the screenshot, it helps a lot.

What I can tell from it: the map itself started (that pink is the blank map background with the kingdom tint on top), but none of the map tiles drew, and the Oil Wells show their health bars with no picture above them. I checked my end for that afternoon. The tile server answered every request, New York's included, and the game server logged no errors or restarts around the time you posted.

My best guess so far: the map tiles and the building pictures download separately from the game's live connection. If those downloads fail at the moment you arrive somewhere new (New York has the heaviest map tiles in the game), the game never asks for them again. Everything that comes over the live connection, like creatures and health bars, keeps working, which matches your screenshot. Either way the game should retry instead of leaving the map blank, so I'm looking at that.

A few questions so I can confirm it:

1. Did reloading, or panning or zooming the map a little, bring the map and the Oil Wells back?
2. Roughly what time did it happen, and how long did it last?
3. Had you just travelled to a flag in NYC, or had you been standing there a while?
4. Was it blank on your phone and your PC at the same moment, or at different times? Were they all on the same internet connection?
5. Does it still happen now?

Thanks for reporting it.

Thanks for flagging this. It's working as intended, but it isn't obvious. Bricks come from the EXP an action is worth, and leftovers carry over to your next action. A berry pick is a small action, so on your own kingdom's ground it takes about two or three picks to make one Brick: you'll see one on the 3rd pick, then the 5th, then the 8th, and so on. Chopping a tree is worth a lot more and gives Bricks every time. If you're harvesting on another kingdom's land, the Bricks go to their store, not your pack.

Thanks for flagging this. You're right, there was no way to do it in the game.

I've added it, and it is in today's update. It is under Options > Account > Deactivate:

• You confirm with your password, and every device is signed out.
• If you sign in again with your password within 30 days, the account is active again and nothing is lost.
• After 30 days the account is deleted. Your flags turn white and stay standing for anyone to take over. Everything else goes with the character.
• For 90 days after that, I can still restore it if you email [email protected].

Thanks EntropyDealer, found both.

Send Pet: pressing it on a creature walked your character over to the creature, and the pet only went once you got there. Now the pet goes and you stay where you are. Send Golems to Attack did the same thing and is fixed too.

Damage numbers: when a hit poisoned something, its damage number often didn't show. The same happened when a Spider's bite poisoned you, and when a Spider pet's Envenom bit something. Those numbers show now.

Both go live with the next update. The phone app gets the Send Pet part with its next app release.

Thanks for the report, and for spelling out how it was being used.

I found the cause. A tower reached 600 m, but a flag can only be planted 500 m or more from another player's claim. So a tower raised just outside your border could still reach your flag. While it was shooting at you, every hit stopped you hardening or repairing. That is what you were seeing, and it is what made "tower, burn the flag, plant in the hole, tower that" so easy.

I have cut tower range to 500 m, the same as a flag's claim. A tower can no longer be built close enough to shoot at someone else's flag. This is live now.

One case is still open. You can stand about 55 m from your flag to harden or repair it, so if you stand on the tower's side of the flag and the tower sits right at the edge of your claim, it can still reach you. Standing on the far side of the flag keeps you out of range.

If a tower hits you from further than 500 m now, tell me roughly where it is and I will look.

Hi Smitty, thanks for the report. Part of what you saw was a bug, and I've changed how the dog works. It's live now.

Two things were going on. First, a dog's age counted the days since you last fed it, even while it sat at home, so a dog you hadn't used in a while came back with a longer rest than it had earned. Second, if you died, the dog went home free but only kept the time it had left, and the whistle never showed that, so it looked like it was sleeping longer.

Here is how it works now:

• Each new outing ages the dog one step, and its rest after that gets 15 minutes longer. It starts at 30 minutes, then 45, 60, and so on, up to 12 hours.
• The whistle now shows how much time the dog has left. On the app you'll see this after updating to the newest version.
• If you die, the dog goes home for free and keeps its time. Call it again and it carries on from there, with no rest and no aging.
• If you send it home yourself, that takes 10 minutes off its time and the rest stays on the whistle for next time. If less than 10 minutes were left, it goes to rest instead.
• The dog rests when its time runs out, or when the dog itself is knocked out.
• Feed resets the rest to the shortest and ends any rest in progress. It does not give the dog a fresh hour.

Every dog and Spider starts young again with this change. If anything still looks off, tell me what the whistle showed and what the dog did, and I'll look into it.

Thanks for flagging this. A piece wearing a skin no longer shows Dump. The skin used to be scrapped along with the piece and there was no way to dump it by itself, so you're right that nobody would want that. Remove the skin first if you really do want to scrap the piece underneath. Swag already couldn't be dumped.

It's live now. On the website you have it already. On the Android app, install the newest build from the Android Test Client post.

Thanks for flagging this. I added a Brick Furnace page to the guide: https://parallelkingdomreborn.com/wiki/#Brick Furnace

While I was in there I also changed how the furnace works. Any member can now fire it, once a day, using their own Food. The Bricks go straight into your pack. Only the ruler can build it or improve it.

Thanks Yeet, found it. Swag was saved and equipped correctly, but logging in didn't draw it on your character until you took it off and put it on again. It's fixed and live now: it stays on through logging in and out.

Thanks for reporting this. You're right, and I found why it happened.

An earlier update made marking a friend as an enemy end the friendship, but it only did that at the moment you pressed Mark Enemy. Anyone who was already on both lists stayed on both. Getting put on someone's Enemy list by attacking their stuff didn't end the friendship either.

This is fixed now:

• Ending up on someone's Enemy list ends the friendship for both players, whether you marked them yourself or they attacked or raided your things. Both players get a message.
• Anyone who was still on both lists has been taken off the Friends list.
• Someone on your Enemy list can no longer ask for access to your private holdings.

Thanks for the follow-up. The line along the top of the map is meant to show the newest message from every channel you can hear, with a tag in front saying where it was said, so a Kingdom or City message doesn't get missed while you're reading Global. I haven't changed that.

What I have added is a setting for where chat opens when you tap that line. It's under Menu > Options > Chat, with two choices:

• Last tab: opens on the tab you left. This is the default.
• Last message: opens on the channel of the message the line is showing.

It's live on the website now, and the newest Android test client has it too.

Thanks for the report. I found it: when you opened the chat window, it jumped to whichever channel had the newest message, instead of the one you were last on. It now opens on the tab you left. This will come in the next update.

Thanks for the report, this was a real bug. The arrow was drawn whenever a waypoint was saved, but the only way to clear it is on the far map, and that map needs a Compass to open. So once you gave the Compass back, the arrow had nothing left to turn it off. The same thing would have happened if a Compass wore out.

I've fixed it. The arrow now only shows while you have a Compass in your pack. Your waypoint is kept, so if you borrow one again it will point at the same place, and Let go on the far map clears it for good.

It will be in the next update. The phone app needs a new version for it as well, so until you update the app you may still see the arrow there.

Thanks for coming back to this, and sorry it took a second pass. I found it. If the game reconnected while you were in a Sewer (which phones do whenever the app goes to the background), your own character was placed in the wrong spot on the map. Climbing out didn't move it, so you stayed out of sight until you traveled somewhere. That's why it fixed itself when you hopped to another spot.

Fixed for the next update: climbing out now puts your character back on the map where you came out. If it still happens after the update, post here and tell me what you did right before.

I'd call that a bug. Once the Queen died, the run closed as soon as the last person left and refused Rejoin, so dying after the clear lost her drop and your bag.

In the next update a cleared dungeon stays open for 10 minutes, with a timer under the room name counting down. Anyone who was in the run can Rejoin from the entrance during that time to pick up what they left. When it reaches zero the dungeon closes.

Thanks Smitty, found it. Bring Materials handed things over from wherever you were standing, and tapping near a castle opens its menu instead of walking you in, so on something that big you could never get close enough.

In the next update it walks you to the site first, then hands the materials over. Same fix for the kingdom store at a finished castle (Give, Take, the Furnace and the levy): they walk you to the castle first too.

Good catch, and thanks for reporting it instead of farming it! It was a bug. The hut remembered its damage through a server restart but forgot which waves it had already sent. So the next hit sent all of them again at once, one of each tier.

It's fixed in the next update. A damaged hut now only sends the wave your hit actually earns. If you come back to a hut you wore down earlier, you'll get no defenders until it loses its next chunk of HP.
