Oh, boy, did you hear about the latest goof-up in Palworld? The devs accidentally fixed a bug, but it turns out, that bug was actually a beloved feature. Classic mix-up, right?
So, here’s the scoop. Palworld, that monster-collecting survival game that’s been all the rage on PC and Xbox, just rolled out a new update. This update was packed with fixes, but there was a catch. They accidentally made it impossible to capture Tower bosses. Oops.
Pocketpair, the folks behind the game, were quick to say, “Our bad!” They admitted the fix was a mistake. Honestly, gotta love the transparency.
But wait, there’s more. This bug, or feature (depending on how you look at it), where you could nab Tower boss Pals wasn’t meant to be a thing. But players loved it so much, it became part of the charm. Pocketpair even had to apologize for fixing it. Imagine that!
Now, they haven’t said if they’ll undo the fix. Meanwhile, other issues have cropped up. Like, Pals from breeding are keeping passives they shouldn’t, and Xbox players are having autosave headaches. Pocketpair’s on it, promising fixes are on the way.
The latest patch, 0.1.5.0, wasn’t all oopsies, though. It brought some much-needed bug squashes and balance tweaks. For instance, commit a crime in-game, and you’ll see a lot more police on your tail. Plus, they’ve tweaked some skills and added a zappy effect to the Free Pal Alliance’s crossbow. Neat, huh?
Now, get this: Palworld’s been a smash hit. Over 25 million folks jumped into this Pokemon-esque survival world in just the first month, with 15 million copies flying off the Steam shelves. Even saw over 2 million players online at once! Sure, the hype’s died down a bit, but it’s still a hot ticket on Steam.
The game’s success caught the eye of The Pokemon Company. They’re not exactly thrilled and are looking into the whole “infringing on intellectual property rights” thing. Yikes.
So, what’s next for Palworld? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: it’s been one wild ride. And hey, if you’re taking a break from the game, according to the community manager, that’s totally cool. Everyone needs a breather now and then, right?
