Don’t you simply hate it when a glitch you exploit in your fave online game will get mounted? I do, too, and apparently, so do Palworld gamers. Developer Pocketpair just lately patched up a well-liked bug-turned-feature within the Pokémon clone that permit gamers do one thing they weren’t truly speculated to: seize tower bosses. After squashing the glitch, although, the studio has since apologized, saying the repair was an “unintentional” mishap that took place on account of the sport’s latest replace.
Replace model 0.1.5.0 dropped on February 26 for Steam. (Xbox is having some points with issues like auto-saves, so the brand new patch isn’t on that console but.) It fixes some particular issues with the sport, similar to Friends getting caught within the surroundings, whereas additionally addressing extra normal hitches for a smoother expertise total. Nevertheless, whereas placing Palworld underneath a scorching iron to get rid of these pesky creases, Pocketpair additionally “inadvertently [fixed]” the tower-boss-collecting glitch, the corporate stated on Twitter.
See, stuffing these huge bads right into a tiny ball was by no means meant to be within the playing cards. Tower bosses, because the title may recommend, are highly effective monsters that reside—all Rapunzel-like—deep inside varied skyscrapers within the Palpagos Islands. There are 5 of them you can battle, however should you do very particular issues—aggro the police to get the “needed” standing, fast-travel to any tower, keep away from attacking the tower boss in order that the 5-0 can do it, then throw a Palsphere on the boss—you possibly can break the sport simply sufficient to seize them and make them do your soiled work. And since they’re hella OP, people had been utilizing them to steamroll something and all the things.
However now, it’s time to cue the waterworks as a result of gamers had been shook by the repair. “Allow us to seize tower bosses : v,” posted one consumer on Twitter. “OMG, saying ‘sorry’ for fixing a bug? Now that’s a brand new one! Subsequent time let’s maintain these blissful little accidents, yeah?” tweeted one other. “Oh wait…we weren’t supposed to have the ability to catch them!??” questioned a 3rd tweeter with a crying GIF. People aren’t doing OK.
Kotaku has reached out to Pocketpair for remark.
Whereas it sucks {that a} bug the group appeared to get pleasure from a lot has been Thanos-snapped out of the sport, that may not have any affect on Palworld’s reputation. The monster-collecting survival sim just lately surpassed 25 million gamers, proving that “Pokémon with Weapons” was, in reality, one thing individuals truly needed.
