A work around for FoTD skeletons colors not updating.

  • So one of my crew @MojoTeaz informed me about a work around for the skeleton colors not updating in the commendations when you defeat them at the FoTD. In order to actually get them to update, you have to defeat them in a single color wave.

    So what this means is the wave must be all one color and would be limited to waves 1-4.

    In other words; once you get to mult-color spawning waves, the commendation will not update.

    This was tested over 10 FoTD's and it's found to be accurate. Try it, let me know if it works for you.

    I hope these helps you fellow pirates FoTD commendations! #BeMorePirate

  • @personalc0ffee I also believe this to be the case. In the other thread that mentions this happening, I shared this about a week ago. However, they said it didn't seem to help in their circumstance. But this is definitely what I remember happening when I did these commendations a long time ago. You have to defeat those skellies in the early waves.

  • Not really a workaround unfortunately..

    Helpful I guess if anyone only cares about the comm, so they're aware, but there's no getting around it, other than starting another one up until the same point.

    Short of Rare just fixing this, You're just stuck once you've made a certain degree of progress regardless

    It is a work around because it will allow you to get the commendations done and it also may provide Rare clues how to address the bug.

    You are no longer fully blocked from proceeding these commendations but the method will take a bit of doing.

    Am I misunderstanding? It's pretty much once you hit that point its over. There's nothing you can do to undo, fix, or actually work around it aside from doing another fort up until that point after.

    It doesn't really sound like it's working around anything though while you're doing it for progress is it?

    It sounds like you're making progress up until wave 4ish and then after you might as well start it over again. Once you hit that broken point, there's no recovering it. You're forced to finish, and if you want progress, start another one until it breaks at the same wave again

    It's that outright blocking you from 4 on from making progress until you do it again? We're not really working around it, we're just dealing with it until it forces us to do it again.

    I'll be honest when I read workaround I was hoping for something we could do to bandaid fix it ourselves DURING the event,, trick it back into counting. This just means we still have to just do it even more, up until it breaks.

    Sucks.

    You are not misunderstanding the post.

    Progress can still be made but only up until wave 5. Once wave 5 hits, you will not gain any more progress on those particular commendations.

    I didn't say anything about it being worth it or fun.

    A lot of people thought that it was just outright broken and while it is broken. It is not fully broken as Mojo got his commendations done using this method. Yes, you have to do more FoTD as a result. Yes, you are the mercy of the RNG. Yes, it isn't a lot of fun.

    But it CAN be done.

    And THAT is the point of the post. It is not totally blocked off to the player to get that commendation progress by this method and that is why it is a work around.

    I'm sorry Tre Oni that I can't be of more help. At least you can do this, is a silver lining.
