This is just a general PSA, you should be guaranteed to get your ling drop for request kills after the last minor patch, so be sure to watch out for the monsterling capture bug, I've just had it happen for a request. If you don't get your drop just zone and go back and it should be there. You don't need to go to a different zone first, can just teleport to the nearest TP.

And this is also a data gather. If everyone reading can be more aware of the possible issue, even if you didn't really care about it before (I know some people thought it only affected genociders but I think it was just more visible to them) and watch your ling drops, and please leave a comment here if you see it. Maybe even leave a comment if you don't see it after a week of dailies (please don't update every day, after 7 without seeing it is fine).

That would be great. I'll send the post to customer support.

I guess I could have done a poll but I'm lazy...

I wanted to get some sort of quantification of the missed captures problem, that I think most people (ok, the proportionately few maniacs) that genocide their world daily have noticed. I think it's gotten worse with the last patch as somethings do seem to be slower (its very noticeable that the second wave of fights take longer to spawn in now for example, although if it's based on distance from the servers maybe you don't notice if you live across the street from one). Unfortunately I didn't get any numbers pre-patch so I can't say for certain it got worse, but anecdotally I think it's observably evident. But regardless if it got worse or not, as it is now it seems fairly bad.

I have the subscription so I auto-capture everything. I'm not sure if manual capturing makes the issue better or worse. First I noted my starting monsterling count, then did a run through of my world and dead-ed everything. Total monsterlings gained was 297. Then I started from the beginning again and just ran through every area picking up the captures that now loaded properly (also confirming I didn't miss any combats), I gained a further 182. Basically more than half again the number of monsterlings I gained from my homocide run.

Please fix.

(I don't know if devs read this reddit, I sent the info on a customer service inquiry, I just thought it was interesting to share how much of the gains from our homicidal tendencies are being blunted).

*Edit* I'm not sure if people would consider it brigading (I'd say it's just fair feedback) but I think people that feel this a big issue should share their concerns through customer service to help prioritise a fix.

I've lost track of what apology email is for what issue but I'll take it.
