Positron is my favourite dev. Seriously.

The dude shoots straight I respect that

What badge does Sally get for defeating us twice?

How about you chill out and just wait?

They have a lot of issues they're trying to work out (looping sound crash...kind of a LOT more important than the Sally fix).

If you can't chill and wait a few days, then you have a serious problem...

How about NO, and I hope your sound "issue" gets fixed. It's not a "problem" it's a matter of these incessantly gimped issues going live. The sound loops/crashing has been a known issue for how long?

So as far as adding badges to missions and spawns that people do to enjoy themselves, yes I say fix those first. Don't worry from now on I will keep my gripes about my game to myself..

A heartfelt thank you for this - I was getting a bit tired of the Sally Watch, ever fruitless. I only hope it reaches the live servers soon so that I can go after it. Echoing others before me, exemplary customer service on this one. Good show.

Umm... Who or what is Sally? And where is she found? I have been playing this game over a year and never heard of her before now.
Did I miss something in a patch or update note?

Sally is a monster in Croatoa. She has 1 Hit point so one hit and she's out. You have to take her out twice though to get the Believer Badge.

Anyway, the spawn rate is messed up.. they're working on it though.

Hope they fix the spawn rate soon

**snuggles Posi and purrs** I wish I had been on here before so I knew you were already on it, but THANK YOU!! And pay no attention to the cranky ones, I've done REALLY BASIC debugging that took hours and hours for any kind of headway, so to people who haven't...You know the old saying of a needle in a haystack? This is more like finding a straw coloured gnat in a full grain silo, please give the devs credit for doing as much as they do. **cheek kiss to the Posi** And I dunno about e-babies, but if I ever want some I hope you'll be available

Any update on when we can see this change on test and possibly on live?

We heard on 9/27 from Posi that he does not recommend hunting for Sally at all until the patch goes live. There has been no test server update or redname word on the subject since then.

I've found Sally once since then while doing regular missions through Croatoa. I'd like to earn the accolade totally without camping Croatoa for obscene amounts of time soon.

Sometimes it sucks, I hear stories of people searching for Kraken for months, I just came back to the game a few weeks ago after over a year of not playing.

I went to find this "Kraken" a few nights ago, found it within 5 minutes at about 5am EST on Triumph, pulled a team together and took it down, after that I went to find Babbage, he wasn't there, but I did find him the night after, and took him down (I have the badges to prove it) I can't find the Paladin or Adamastor, or Sally yet though.

You most likely will not find THE Paladin, since people know now that you have to defeat the clockworks constructing him and keeping him from being built to get the badge.

If you have achieved the rare GOT-KO Accolade, post it here. Also provide proof.

After all she is supposed to be a rare spawn like that famous monster in Scotland, correct?

It's a game for casual players.
Rare spawn yes.
Unattainable Badge? No.
Leaving it the way it is makes the game crappy for the casual players while rewarding those that can spend 12-16 hours looking for that spawn.
By the way I spent from 07:00 AM in the morning till 02:00AM at night searching for Sally today. As of this time there has been no spawn.

That's right. There has been 19 hours of known time where the creature hasn't spawned. This puts her spawn in the once every 2 days category not the once or twice a day category.

Yeah that way we can screw the casual players. Glad you like that spawn rate because I personally think it's [censored]!

Sure turn the game into City of Campers.

10.5 -21 hour spawn timer accross 5 spawn points with only one hit point. As a casual gamer, not a Korean living in an internet cafe, I can say this isn't right. Especially if you need to hit her 2 times. If I'm going to wait 42+ hours to hit something, I'll go to the bar

If this isn't an early favorite for the coveted Post of The Year Award, I don't know what is.

Just tangentally, I'd say the spawn for the Ghost Ship and the Clockwork Paladin are somewhere right around this range of rareness.

As rare as Sally? If you would say that then you would be wrong. Ive had nights where Ive seen the Ghost Ship spawn three times in a 6 or 7 hr period. I have seen Sally spawn *once* since I5 went live.

A cynical person would think you might have ulterior motives for this statement. I'm not quite there yet, but I will say this: I've known people who devoted over a hundred hours looking for her, probably more, without seeing her once. For you to tell them that this is as it should be, strikes me as inordinately skewed in view.

It is also supposed to be a game. A game that is fun.
We were attacked by giant snow men a few months ago for crying out loud!
They want to give us more fun things to do, not make us sit and wait for days looking for a monster like the crasy people trying to prove that famous Scotland monster exists.

Jurrasik- Ive fought this crazy thing 3 times. I have only looked for him once.
Paladin- This thing is crazy. I have spent HOURS looking for this chunk of gears and have only seen one construction pile that was being worked on by 2 clockworks
Lusca- OMG i have seen this stupid fish so many times my computer is starting to smell like squid.
Adamaster-never seen him, and a really dont care too.
Kracken- seen him once out of my 300+ hours of playing
Sally-what is that?
Babbage- Once is more than enough.


Since where talking about monsters, I think atlas park should have a monster. How cool would that be. It sits on a really tall building and can fly.

But thanks Posi!

Its nice to know the devs love us...

Well, I guess I am apart of the priveledged to have found Kraken my very first time looking for him, I give up on Sally, forget it, I get an invite for the Babbage every time I enter friggen Boomtown. My question is, what helps trigger a Paladin spawn, and what does it look like? (in detail) As I still run by his known spawns every time I pass through Kings Row

So Sally's spawn isn't fixed yet?
