So... do the developers know about this? Or did they intentionally leave out T3 poison barriers for no apparent reason? The patch notes from a while back also mentioned the "auto turret kit".

I know this has been brought up before, but it was a while ago, and you'd think they'd have fixed it by now.

PLEASE! By all means prove me wrong and post a screenshot of either the ultra poison barrier or the auto turret kit.
You read my mind Fehzor, I was just about to make this topic.
In which case I have yet to see an Ultra Poison Barrier, the previous variants exist. At first I thought it was just based on which families were present on the depth but I'm almost certain that the Ultra Poison Barrier doesn't exist... Unless it's insanely rare due to the fact that it inflicts strong-poison. Still no sign of the Auto-Turret Kit though.
They were probably working hard* to finish winterfest. Winterfest is probably the same reason the gunner update was delayed. That being said, this is probably a good time to bring it back up so that someone reads it and brings it up for OOO's next meeting. But then again, we don't know 100% what else they have planned in development.
*Considering the time difference for new content between Apocrea and Winterfest. The arcade redux phase 1 seemed like a bit of a rush because they changed a bunch in the middle of developing apocrea and winterfest. Even the new pickups released with Winterfest seem a bit rushed (balance wise) because they needed it for snow.
Yeah, T3 Poison Barriers exist. I'll try to nab one as soon as I get my Bomb.
And you guys are sure that you're finding T3 poison barriers as opposed to a poison barrier found in T3? As in- "ultra" or whatnot, right? I'll totally change the OP if so.
Ultras exist.
Seeing how the Grinchlins drop Barriers, there's a possibility that one might drop one for me so I can knock out 2 birds with 1 stone.
I'm gonna go off and look for one.
Found 6 or 7 barriers on a gremlin level, no T3 poison.
Alright, going on FSC.
...First level done, no ultra poison barriers.
...Second level done, no ultra poison barriers.
An abundance of fire, shock and ice ones though.
Third level of FSC done, third level of not finding any ultra poison barriers.
Fourth level of FSC; no radiants again. Gonna need some screenshots.
In all my time playing, I've only found the poison barriers in T2 and below. And never seen a turret kit :<
Yep, gonna need a screenshot of a T3 poison barrier. Not a T2 one found in T3, mind you. A legitimate "Ultra Poison Barrier".
I could SWEAR I've seen T3 poison barriers in FSC and Silent Legion... I remember them...
In fact, the sad part is I'm so strived to get my snowman head, I'll have to lay off partaking in this experiment until the 2nd. /sorry.
I SAW FREAKIN ULTRA POISON BARRIERS EVERYWHERE! I mean, *ahem*, how could you guys not find them yet? This is insane. I found them everywhere. Although....I would want turret kits, but that would be the most cheapest thing in all of SK. I mean, HAVE YOU SEEN HOW OVERPOWERED THEY ARE?!
Help us end this madness by posting a screenshot of a ultra poison barrier here. Please.
Xtweeterx, XP but my computer sucks. I don't use Steam and well, my computer can't handle anything. XD
I will try though.
Preferably a screenshot pertaining to the thread that proves the existence of either consumable.
^At this point I am fairly confident that neither of these objects are present in the game.
Out of the hundreds of T3 runs in the past month or so? I have not seen a single, solidary T3 Ultra Poison Barrier or a Mecha-Turret Kit.
Nuff said
I did an FSC run after the FSC run that I posted about, and no poison barriers were there. Why don't you go find one real quick and post it?
I would if I wasn't so strapped for my snowman head right now! >.<
I am...pretty sure there is a Ultra Poison Barrier, I'm almost sure of it. I just gotta find it specifically. Hey Fehzor, try the Rotting Metropolis, I remember finding some there and settle the case. But I am sure, absolutely sure that Turret Kits does not exist. I mean, imagine activating one during vanaduke!

Wait a second, why would you want Ultra Poison Barriers anyway? They clutter up your inventory and I would rather want vials....
Vials don't cause large amounts of damage to adjacent enemies while you have your shield up or are cloaked.
I use vials on the second depth of the Legion of Almire. On the right area, if you know what I mean....
Its less that I want it, and more that the developers told us they put it in the game, put similar things in the game, and didn't actually put it in the game. This should likely be fixed...
BUMP: Still waiting for that screenshot guys. I'll probably move this to bug reports too.
Never seen ultra poison barrier.
Auto turret kit is not existing either.
Well, now, how does the wiki have the Ultra Poison Barrier? SK has a single "template" of ultra, which changes color to correspond with each status variant; in essence, it automatically "paints" the template as soon as one appears on the screen. Wait, can you buy barriers from vendors?
You cannot buy the ultra poison barrier or turret kit. The wiki likely has pictures of them because they know what colour they are from in game, and they have the backup sprite.
But please, there is absolutely nothing stopping from you from making a fool out of me and posting a picture of your knight standing next to an ultra poison barrier or turret kit. I'll even edit the OP to say that the poison barrier is exceedingly rare.
You might want to check the game. Recent patch was added as I was playing. Ill just copy the lines for you:
Bug fixes:
- Ultra Poison Barriers and Auto Turret Kits should now drop.
- etc.
- etc.
So, I think the problem is solved.
Yep, I read about it. A huge thanks to the developers for fixing it and hearing me out!
still haven't found any auto turret kit :P
can anyone post a screenie?
Auto turrets drop at the same rate as mecha knights from what I see
I've seen and used T3 poison barriers in FSC, but still no sign of turret kits.
Your argument is invalid.
