"Hey all, a bug has caused the new seasonal vouchers to have been given out early and in excessive numbers (whoops :Happywolf: consider those a holiday gift!), as well as untested, unannounced stamina changes when we were looking at balancing cooking. Both issues should be fixed now - sorry for the interruption, we wish everyone a happy New Year!! (News about the Cooking Camp, Farming Festival, and our first ever seasonal event coming soon)"


This was posted on the discord. It would be nice, if something like this would be posted on the forums, so that the community at large would be knowing what's going on. Especially since some of these things are still happening (The only reason I checked the discord was because I saw a couple of threads and bug reports talking about things I didn't understand). We have the announcement forum, we have the patch notes, we even have the attention banner. Please use those so that a large part of the community isn't left in the dark about whats going on, and potentially waste items or stamina because of some bugs that are still happening.

This thread is very much in line with other suggestions me and others have already made since the launch of the game, but since this is pretty recent (and those threads are already quite old) I thought perhaps if a new thread was made for this, it would catch more attention.

There was an announcement banner earlier - I thought I had maybe accidentally dismissed it, but your post makes it seem like it was removed.

Definitely agree that it should be communicated on-site, possibly in a format other than (or rather, in addition to) the announcement banner as that is not recorded if removed.

It was definitely removed, because I only just woke up an hour or so ago, and there was no banner for me. And I agree, the attention banner to draw attention to it, and linking to an announcement post or patch notes post with more information (and a more long-lasting way of informing the community)

the new seasonal vouchers to have been given out early and in excessive numbers (whoops consider those a holiday gift!)

I really don't understand this part of the announcement. What are seasonal vouchers? Where do you find them? I looked in my inventory and there was nothing. Did only some people get them? Why do they get to keep them? It's a bit unfair to the rest of us that weren't there.


I'm really confused by what happened and why there is no announcement.

That is exactly of the point of this suggestion. People who aren't on the discord/weren't there while it was happening are left completely in the dark as to what's going on. Apparently it was unintentional that they were dropping already, I also have no clue what they are or what purpose they'll be serving, but from what I gathered from some bug reports is that while the devs were tinkering in the background, some stuff accidentally pushed through to live, including these vouchers and some changes to cooking (stamina, new recipes and changes to existing recipes). The vouchers drop when releasing wolves (still do) and they also used to drop from the campaign, but I haven't found them there yet.

They still drop from the campaign, but in much smaller frequency. During the brief time it was at the wrong rate, you would get a voucher for almost every campaign interaction, now it's closer to maybe 1/10? But none were "given out", which is poor wording on the announcement which makes it seem like they were just plopped into player inventories.

I'm guessing they didn't want to delete all the vouchers (or maybe can't easily do so?) as some would have been earnt by players releasing wolves etc.

We should be getting an announcement soon it seems to fully explain everything - including what the vouchers are and what the event is.

Whopping support! I woke up recently, and there's no banner for me, as well. It's super frustrating having to work out what's going on via bug reports, all because I expected official updates/news to be shared on the official site, not a third-party app.

Even if we are getting an announcement soon, users shouldn't have to wait for it, to learn about what's currently bugged.

This. If there is time to post an announcement saying some things went wrong on the discord, there should be time to post this on the site as well (and with this post I am mostly trying to say that posting on the site itself should take priority, so that if there truly is only time to make one post about it, at least it is made in a place where everyone will see it.)

Support… I am new here but the way you phrase it, it is an ongoing issue. It is disappointing.

I did not want to join the discord but I had to for answers. I do not like discord. (>_<)

Support, a site wide announcement that people can refer to would do a lot to calm tempers when a glitch happens. When people don't have a clear explanation is when rumors start and that's never good.

I love discord, but I am tired of joining huge new ones, and it is unacceptable to me that the only official communication about Lorwolf bugs happens in an entirely closed-off space. These forums exist. Use them.


I just logged on today, and seeing that there was no banner, checked for a Cooking Camp weekly update, as well. If there just isn't going to be one, that's fine, just say so for goodness's sake. Nothing is worse than admitting late that something isn't possible.
