Tower of Fantasy, the brand new free-to-play MMO-like motion recreation, has had a turbulent launch. Hordes of gamers slammed into its servers (opens in new tab) and had been met with queues and errors stopping them from stepping into the sport. And now that extra of them are squeezing in, they’ve discovered that the sport wasn’t absolutely ready for them.
Gamers are sharing all types of absurd bugs and glitches they’re encountering as they begin to dig into the messy Genshin clone (opens in new tab). Some gamers are slipping beneath the map (opens in new tab), others are getting thrown right into the endgame (opens in new tab), and some are simply getting actually huge (opens in new tab) for some purpose. The very best glitch, discovered by Twitch streamer SivHD (opens in new tab), turns Tower of Fantasy into a completely completely different style.

The glitch has squished SivHD’s 3D anime character right into a 2D character. The juxtaposition as he circles the digicam round his flat character standing within the 3D valley is extraordinarily Paper Mario. At one level, the streamer angles the digicam in order that the character is simply a skinny vertical line. If that wasn’t upsetting sufficient, simply wait till they begin operating.
It isn’t completely clear how this glitch operates. SivHD found out that in the event that they sit their character in a turret and exit shortly sufficient, they get squished. Repeat that a number of occasions and your character turns into thinner than a crêpe. My guess is that it is some type of animation bug for when the character leaps into the seat. One thing about the best way the mannequin stretches to promote the fast motion, like how animations are stuffed with smear frames (opens in new tab), is likely to be the wrongdoer. It is as if, for a quick second, your character turns into a 2D mannequin after which incorrectly retains a few of that 2D nature as soon as it is over. Regardless of the purpose, the glitch is extraordinarily amusing to look at.
A while after their discovery, SivHD bought requested if the glitch was necessary to progress within the recreation by somebody in chat.
“It is vital, as a result of now, after I strategy the enemy, they do not see me coming,” SivHD responded, deadpan, whereas scooting his papercraft protagonist close to a camp of unaware enemies. “See that archer? He would not see me.”
Developer Hotta Studio addressed the sport’s tough state in a publish on the location, saying that it was “effectively conscious that Tower of Fantasy nonetheless has many shortcomings.” It promised to sort out the worst bugs as they occur and compensate gamers with in-game forex—which it has already began to do for its preliminary server instability.
The rising record of bugs is a bit shocking for a recreation that was launched in China final yr and had a beta earlier this yr. However Tower of Fantasy’s huge scale and shared world expertise mixed with the pressure of a thousand keen gamers most likely makes bug stomping a monumental activity. If it had been me although, I would preserve the 2D one. Each anime recreation ought to allow you to flip 2D everytime you need.
