turns out fred was walking by, and he tripped, and his hand landed on the off switch for the recipe.

> Hi Adventurers, We’ve noticed an issue where the new Soulforge recipe for crafting a specific Dragonite Dragon isn’t currently in the Soulforge. This was planned to appear after weekly reset today (20 minutes ago). The team are currently working on fixing it and we hope to release the fix as soon as possible (preferably in the next couple of hours, but I’ll keep you updated)

The server room goblins are trying to use the server rack screws as confetti and it’s holding us up.

I am currently singing this song:

I probably cursed it, because in my head I thought “Oh I’ll tell everyone we’re trying to release the fix in a couple of hours - because it’ll probably be released within 20 minutes of me hitting the post button!” 😃 💀

Hey folks, unfortunately we’ve hit a hurdle on this and will need to pick it back up in the morning during business hours with the rest of the team.

So adjusting our timeline and hoping to have it fixed tomorrow instead.

We’ll update you again tomorrow.

Thanks so much for your patience while we work on this and we promise it’ll be in the Soulforge very soon!

You’ve waited a long time for this so even though waiting one more day sucks, it’s so close to being live!

Just temporarily put all gem/cosmic dragons into the forge until you get it working. I’m confident we’ll not craft them all in one go once we see the price tag. 😉

I think all the devs left because they gave up, but the last person left the computer on and now the janitor took over and he is doing his best 😛

Have you read the bug report confirmation thread?

- This requires a clientside fix (e.g. 8.1.5 or whatever).
- Did you press _any_ inputs (controller buttons, touchscreen/mouse) during the post-battle sync with the server, before the Victory/Rewards Screen appeared?

The fact that a full-on app crash (across all platforms) slipped through QA _at all_ is maddening, yes. But the bright side is that the devs identified a reliable trigger with an easy workaround.

I, for example, haven’t experienced this particular crash AT ALL over a full week of playing (including running one GAP), but I am not in a habit of attempting to skip the post-battle Victory declaration that drops down (which, it has been observed, DID see a slight change between 8.0 and 8.1).

I agree, the fact this made it through both the developer _and_ platform screening and ultimately into release is VERY embarrassing.

But are you at least _attempting_ to use the stated workaround in the meantime? Sure, you can _keep_ crashing the game if you really want to, but that risks becoming a “you” problem…
