Devsisters’ mobile RPG Cookie Run Kingdom, which has shown rapid growth since its launch and is drawing attention as the most popular game in the first half of this year, is facing controversy over the recent bug fixes in the latte flavor cookie skill.
This controversy is due to a bug patch about the stiffness effect of the skill’One Cup of Warm Latte’ of the popular character latte-flavored cookie that can be obtained through paid drawing.
This skill has the effect of stiffening the opponent for quite a long time, so latte-flavored cookies quickly emerged as the most popular character in PVP, but there was a bug where the stiffening effect was applied longer than intended, and a patch that shortened the stiffening effect application time was applied. Controversy grew by the announcement that it was due.
The Dev Sisters announced today (7th) that this was a stiffening effect in order to naturally realize the directing of enemies gathering in the magic circle.Because it was designed to only limit movement and activate basic attacks and skills, it is generally the result of the battle. They stated that they were not found immediately in the development testing process and in the subsequent monitoring process as they did not cause a significant difference, and the process of reproducing the problem situation and determining the cause took time, so that the bug was checked late.
However, if the skill of the Latte Cookie is activated at the timing when the distance between the friendly and the enemy faction is more than a certain distance, the characters will not be able to move outside the attack range, and the basic attack and skill will not be activated for a while. It was confirmed that there were cases where the progress of the battle felt awkward, and he explained that the correction patch was in progress to resolve this unnatural situation.
Devsisters apologizes for causing misunderstandings by briefly announced that “the stiffening phenomenon is corrected” without detailed guidance. It has announced that it will be released before April 8th.
The following is the full text of the announcement.
Hello, Cookie Run: This is Kingdom.
During the preliminary notice of the update that was announced through the CM note on Tuesday, April 6, many people have expressed concern about the bug fixes in the latte flavor cookie skill, so we would like to provide additional guidance.
Before giving further guidance, we bow our heads and apologize for causing great concern to many people due to this update.
As you may know, Latte Cookie’s’One Cup of Warm Latte’ skill has the effect of collecting enemies on the drawn magic circle. In order to naturally realize the directing of the enemies gathering in the magic circle, the target characters should not move to other places while the effect that collects the characters is being produced, and a stiffening effect for a certain period of time was applied internally to implement this.
And the stiffness effect applied at this time is an effect designed to limit movement only, and to activate basic attacks and skills normally.It is not an effect to affect the balance, but is an additional processing technique for directing the skill, so it is separately indicated in the skill description. Was not done.
From the time of release, the stiffening effect was applied to the skill of the latte-flavored cookie for a longer time than intended for production, but as mentioned earlier, the stiffening effect only limited movement, and the basic attack and skill were activated normally. , In general, it did not cause a significant difference in the outcome of the battle, so it was not immediately discovered during the development test process and in the subsequent monitoring process, and the process of reproducing the problem situation and determining the cause took time, so we checked the bug later.
And, when the development team first recognized that the time of the rigidity effect was being applied a little longer, it was judged that the issue was not a part that generally did not cause a significant difference in the outcome of the battle, so the response to this was delayed.
However, if the skill of the Latte Cookie is activated according to the timing when the distance between the allied and the enemy faction becomes more than a certain distance in the process of further precision testing, the characters will not be able to move outside the attack range. , For a while, basic attacks and skills were not activated, so it was confirmed that the progress of the battle felt awkward, and related modifications were made to resolve this unnatural situation.
In the pre-patch notes, it was briefly informed that the’stiffening phenomenon’ was corrected, but in reality, the time to apply the stiffening effect was shortened according to the production time to collect the enemies of the skill effect, and the correction was made through the above process. Therefore, a brief revision notice was released without detailed explanation.
We deeply apologize for causing misunderstandings of our intentions to users due to the immaturity of these explanations.
Since the announcement of the pre-patch details, many people have communicated their concerns and concerns about the modification. We also listened to users’ opinions and carefully reviewed the current situation and the progress of bug fixes, and in the case of latte-flavored cookies, the bug was neglected during the special cookie draw period. We judged that it was our failure to fully consider the part that could be misunderstood due to the fact that the skill is being modified.
It is revealed that there is no intention to be concerned about this part, and as this is not the intended situation, the Kingdom Team is gathering and discussing ways to actively resolve this in many ways.
We apologize for the misunderstanding and concern that we have not fully reviewed the issues that may arise while dealing with important issues related to the ability of cookies, and have taken inexperienced countermeasures.
We will try to come up with a resolution plan as quickly as possible, and we will provide related information before the update scheduled on April 8th is in progress.
(Announcement of the detailed update schedule will be provided in the evening as before.)
We apologize once again for any inconvenience caused. Thank you.
