Any news about 2.17?
2.16 was released on Dec 9th. Nothing significant has been done since, aside from the POI update mid January. There were rumors of an AdventureSync fix coming in 2.17, but other than that, there have been no clues to if or when it will be coming or any other potential bug fixes, like iOS purchasing that may be included as well.
We used to get game updates at least once a month and hpwu team members used to give a lot of announcements of what was to come. Half-way through the first year, updates started to come with more and more issues and bugs. Now, it seems like the development has come to a crawl, the bugs remain unresolved for months, and support has been next to non-existent, aside from posts relating to events.
It seems like we are getting inundated with events, in order to try to distract people from the lack of bug resolutions and new content. Too bad the constant events just become a chore and throw off the regular spawns so bad that they just become a hindrance to game play.
