  • v14 Setup Post [Everything you need to know!]


    Jan

    (Disclaimer: This post will probably be updated as time goes on today if there's anything I missed or realize I want to add later. Or maybe not!)

     

    Hey there! It's finally time again!
    This is not the release post. This is a quick post to help make your save file transition from v13.5 to v14 is as smooth as possible.

    First, let's start with this:

    PLACES THAT ARE NOT SAFE TO SAVE/LOAD UP IN:
     

    Spoiler

    Prologue

    Valor Cliffside

    Valor Summit

    Oceana Pier
    Oceana Pier Gate
    Akuwa Town

    Neo East Gearen

    West Gearen

    Past Aevium
    Zone Zero

    Zorrialyn Coast

    Strange House (On the coast)

    Reldin Island

    East Gearen Dev Room
    Paragon:

    League Administration

    Renegade:
    Plane of Dissonance

     

    Edit: These maps have had some map shifting work done and may also be dodgy to load up in:
    Kristiline Interiors
    Route 5 (Terajuma)
    Chrysalis Manor

     

    DISCORD INTEGRATION:

    Rejuvenation is now officially supported on Discord! No more Poker game or Age of War or whatever it's called in your activity sidebar.

     

    GEN 9 + ZA Megas:
    Gen 9 is now included! This includes numerous moveset updates. I said we weren't including ZA Megas and that's somewhat true. All sprites and stones have been implemented, but only those with official abilities are actually included in game. Go nuts trying to find some of them!

     

    JOIPLAY/KIRIN:

    We do have builds for Joiplay, but calling it official support may be a bit of stretch. These are highly experimental builds and maintaining overarching support is something we aren't putting at a high priority right now. There ARE some issues that we already know about that CANNOT be fixed by our side. The developers of these will have to take care of them. Same goes for Kirin.

     

    THE PROLOGUE + NG+:

    The prologue got some big changes if you weren't aware. It has an extended story if you have a completed v14 save. NG+ Is actually quite extensive this time around. So once you're done playing v14, there's more adventures to be had if you so wish to experience them! Some of them are very... very interesting. And I reward you handsomely for taking the time to play again :). I'll leave it at that.

     

    CHAPTER PASSWORDS:

    V13.5 brought in a Terajuma Password that allowed you to skip directly to Terajuma. v14 Brings in a new password that skips you directly to Act 2, Chapter 9. I really wanted to get a Karma Files password ready for release, but this password is already very experimental. I expect there to be some unforeseen issues with this one. Tread carefully with this one, but it should work okay. In the future I hope to have the Karma Files password skip ready as well, but ACT 2 is so extensive that it takes a lot of time and testing. I hope you all understand!

     

    RANDOMIZER SUPPORT:

    Unfortunately due to all the major systems changes we've had, having this in time for release was not feasible, but we are working on support later down the line!

     

    HOW TO START CHAPTER 16:

    But first, I have to mention something.

    I know a lot of you Renegade fans are itching to jump into Renegade first.

    I highly, highly do not recommend that you do this.

    Renegade acts without regard to spoilers in Paragon. And some things in Renegade will flat out NOT MAKE SENSE without context from Paragon.

    I HIGHLY recommend that you play and complete Chapter 16 in Paragon FIRST.

     

    Spoiler

    PARAGON: 

    Rest and the story will continue.

    RENEGADE:

    In the Plane of Dissonance there should be a "!" Quest bubble. Just interact with this board to begin the quest. Heed my warning though :P.

    New game again lol, but it's fine I'm having fun with it. There always be something different, whether it the area, the background or the map, if I just play the latest save file I will miss those.
    Can I ask a question, how to re implement Intense mode, or make the game have similar difficulty like intense mode?

    Looking forward to starting anew and seeing everything that changed. 

     

    I was wondering whether to start with Paragon or Renegades first so Im glad for the help deciding even though I want nothing more than to dive into Renegades and hope that we can go after Vitus

    I'm gonna finish my current run thru Ch16 and then go back for NG+ so I can get all the new stuff with my current living national 'dex intact.

    Difficulty changes were changed over to the password system (the same one that lets you start from Terajuma, and will let you skip to Ch9 from this update), you can find password lists on the wiki for various difficulty options.

    When this releases will we need to download anew, or can we just run the updater? Either way I'm massively looking forwards to my next new run.

    New download. The old updater has been discarded. Now, the updater itself has been integrated into the actual game, so that there's no confusion as to whether a patch has dropped or not.

    Oh damn. The only run I've done on Rejuv is a Renegade run and I intend to play through v14 on Renegade and then play through a paragon run. Is this a bad idea?also, if I were to do this; should I play the paragon run on NG+ or just a fresh run from scratch?

    Jan said highly 3 times in this post to play paragon first. No one is stopping you from playing renegade first. But the gameplay experience will make no sense. There have been 10 minute lore dumps in the last 2 version and it's very likely there will be one in paragon that can be  skipped in renegade. There also might be plottwists that are a big deal in paragon, but happen ofscreen in renegade  i was also originally planning on creating a new save and dive head first into renegade. But I Will now probabilly start a New renegade save play till v13.5 content  and then finish my paragon save . If you don't want to spend to long on paragon you can use the chapter 9 skip plus play on a lower difficulty to play on paragon. Btw, embrace the New game + content. I played the one in v13.5 and it was so good. It was also All optional so if you want forn some reason to skip it you can! I can't wait for what kind of newgame + content Jan cooked up for the big 14

    I'm probably still going to go through with the rest of my renegade playthrough when V14 drops tomorrow; but when I start a paragon run, will it matter if I do new game+ and use the Terajuma password skip? Will I miss content I didn't get on my renegade playthrough? Bare in mind I think the only side quests I did were the hidden library and the Moseley related one that involves gathering the lost children because I was scared about getting positive Karma and being locked out of Renegade. Also asking what you recommend here @Jan I'm starting to feel like I should complete a paragon playthrough before I continue with my renegade when V14 hits, as I feel like the bottom part of this post specifically says that stuff will not make sense on renegade without paragon context; and I've never actually heard that be said by any of the developers or players on any of the previous versions.

    @Salici mean u don't have to play renegade after but if your planning to do a complete playthrough for both routes then you should start with paragon route and then move on to renegade so you completely understand everything that happens🙂

    I'm planning to do my second playthrought as renegade and I wanna know if doing the NG+ content will interfere with some renegade scenes (just like the ng+ version of puppet master completely skips the gardevoir fight) and whether this content is hidden or will automatically happen if I answer zetta's questions right

    Gen 9 is now included! This includes numerous moveset updates. 

     

    • Is there a clear pattern in the movesets? (eg. all pre8 pokemon hav gen 7 learnset and the rest their own gen? all have gen9?) 
      What about mechanics such as Snow/Hail ?
      When it comes to the wiki, can we look up to that after v14 release?

    The prologue got some big changes if you weren't aware. It has an extended story if you have a completed v14 save. NG+ Is actually quite extensive this time around. So once you're done playing v14, there's more adventures to be had.

     

    • How can we make sure the replay of the game will check the v14 save? For example, does it have to be in the saves folder, even if renamed?
      It would be a pity to miss the extra content and realize halfway through Terajuma. 

     

    • Big thanks to all of you guys for the work of so many years. WE'RE HYPED to have v14 coming 💣💣

    Question : do we have nerf and up from Pokemon Champions ? Like the para 1/8 instead of 1/4, the nerf of the sleep and ice statut too, some flinch skill (ironhead if i remember well took a -10%)

    What about Protean-like abilites from 9G ?

    will there be a guide like there is for 13.5?

    The guides arent from the game's devs I think so eventually a player will make one but definetly not early

    I'm super excited for this but I do have a question. What's the best way to update during the middle of a playthrough? I'm on 13.5.7 now and in Chapter 8. I don't really want to lose the progress I've made and start a new game on V14. I saw an earlier comment that said V14 would require a fresh download of the game as the old updater has been discarded. Is there a way to transfer my save files to a new download of the game? Thanks!

    You dont have to do anything just download v14 and you will find you data since saves are saved on your computer not in the game

    Oh okay, so I can just run the existing updater on my current copy of the game and go straight into V14? Apologies if I seem a little confused, I am just a little.

    No, he mean the v14 will be like a new game you need to download again, like when you first download v13.5. Cause they share the same save files so...yeah, no need to worry about that.

    the updater won't be able to update from v13.5 to v14 you have to download the game from this site again when it releases but when you open it you will still find your progress and can keep going in your playthrought
