0.35 Patch Notes (Early Access)

• Added some new UI that shows in various parts of the game to indicate chest slots remaining, player level, gear score, and the status of the Chest
  • This shows in places like the Tavern and sometimes on the world-map
• After opening a chest in the battle rewards it will show ‘opened’ in the art
• Added an extra chest slot (no VIP Level or upgrades to the Guard Follower are required to obtain this)
• Chests can now be salvaged when Minions are on Missions
• Dungeon Chests are now awarded when completing the Dungeon as part of the story

In future updates, we’d like to consider more ways to address these issues with chests.

• Items are now Evolved at levels 5/15/25/35/45 instead of levels 10/20/30/40/50
• As well as other resources, Items Level 45+ now require Glyphs and Superior Shards to upgrade
• Gold is no longer required to Evolve Gear items to a higher rarity but is still required to upgrade the level on items
  • So, items now require Gold & Shards to level (as well as Glyphs at levels 45+), and Scrolls, Runes and Relics (as well as Glyphs at Legendary+) to evolve
• Multiple copies or duplicates of Gear are no longer required to Evolve items – these have been replaced by Relics

Introducing Relics

As we’ve removed the need to evolve items by using multiple copies of the same thing, we’ve introduced a new resource: Relics. These are found from Dungeon Chests relating to the Relic earned.

• Relics are required to Evolve Items, Spells, and Minions to Rare and beyond (evolving to Uncommon at level 5 does not require a Relic)
• Each Dungeon has a unique set of 4 Relics to collect, themed around the Dungeon. Relics increase in rarity from Lesser to Major.
• Relics can be earned by
  • Completing dungeons
  • Have a small chance to drop from salvaging
  • At level 30 in the Premium Battle Pass
  • In the next update we will also introduce another primary way of obtaining Relics

• The menu has been redesigned to help with Leveling and upgrading items
• Selecting UPGRADE on any collectible (weapon, gear, accessory, armor, Minion, or Spell) will display the new Upgrade menu UI
  • Selecting to Evolve or Level a collectible item will show you the benefits from the upgrade (effects) and the resources required to upgrade in the right-hand column

• Added two new packs to the Shop
  • Starter Pack A (1x Rare Weapon, 30x Minor weapon Shards, 500x Gems)
  • Starter Pack B (1x Rare Runic Ring, 2x Rare Runes, 100x Minor Accessory Shards, 1, 1250 Gems)
  • Once the first pack has been bought the second will become available.
• Gem purchases can now be made when you run out of the Gems required to Revive during a battle or when attempting to open a chest

Daily Deals

The Daily Deals have been reconfigured to adjust to the new resources inside the economy. There are a couple of changes to the costs and new items are available in different packs. There are now more Daily Deals, and they offer a lot more variety.

• Glyphs have been split into 5 main categories
  • Weapons
  • Armor
  • Accessories
  • Spells
  • Minion
• Glyphs are now required to upgrade Weapons, Armor, Accessories, Spells, and Minions past level 45
• It is now easier to find Glyphs after level 45 in-game

If you already have Glyphs, your Glyphs will be automatically split up into one of each type upon updating your game.

• The Tourney (PVP) UI has been updated to make it clearer what is required to enter a battle
  • The text and information is now clearer, as well as the Minions, Spells, equipment (such as Weapons), and their respective Elements required to enter
  • Removed the Element requirement from Spells in Tourneys.
  • Allow non-elemental gear as well as gear that has an element
  • Minions now show their Element in the vault, and on each player’s display.
• Items that have been salvaged in the rewards list now show in the pop-up notification bar and also in the Wallet in the top-right of the game
• Rewards from Salvaging items in the Reward List are now shown in the pop-up wallet display.
• Upgrading Gong (the Follower) will now earn you a PVP token on the day of upgrade (as well as the other subsequent days)
• Updating the game: new “Update Later” (to continue playing without a forced update) or “Update now” UI has been added. If an update is not mandatory (if it has just been released), you can continue playing without updating. This will come into effect when future updates are released.
• Shards are now easier to earn throughout the game following the addition of the other new resources, and you should see more useful Shards, and fewer Minor Shards as you progress.
• To balance the economy the cost of Bounties has been increased to 25 Gems when refreshing the available Daily Bounties
• All side quests for a chapter must now be completed in order to start the next Chapter’s Side Quest

• Dungeons and Skirmishes now have two difficulties: EASY and NORMAL. The easy mode will feel much like the original dungeon gameplay, and the NORMAL mode will provide better rewards.
• Have a series of new tutorials to help guide completion of them, for example when entering and defeating dungeons, explaining the process of using Altars, Dungeon Marks and defeating enemies
  • Dungeon tutorial added to guide players completion
• Altars now give you double the bonus effects
• Dungeon Marks have undergone a visual update to make their progression easier to understand
  • The Rarities still progress as Wood, Iron, Gold, Ruby, Diamond

• When winning or losing a battle there is a new victory animation and a new defeat animation
• Leveling up your Hero plays a new animation. If you’ve earned new XP, the same animation displays with the counter increasing
• Glyphs now look different to reflect their new categories

• Level 2: 2x Iron Keys → 1 Random Follower Crystal
• Level 17: 2x Iron Keys → 2 Random Follower Crystals
• Level 29: 1 Rare Flux → 2 Random Glyphs
• Level 30: 2 Legendary Flux → 1 random Superior Relic

• Day 50: Rare/Epic/Legendary Fluxes > Now gives differing amounts of Crystals
• Day 100: Normal Glyph > Armor Glyphs
  • When logging into Update 0.35 you may find that your Glyphs have updated anyway.

• Spells can no longer be swapped between Classes (though there are still certain generic Spells that can be earned from Dungeons that are shared between class)
• Spells belonging to a Class and can only be equipped for that Class
• Spells are no longer rewarded for leveling up, but existing accounts have been granted extra class spells to ensure they can still enter battle with enough spells if they had fewer class spells than the number of spell slots that were already unlocked
• More than one Spell of the same type can no longer be equipped
  • When logging in, duplicate Spells will be unequipped if you have them equipped to your game when updating to Update Version 0.35
• To finish off these changes, the Mage Follower (Xione) no longer creates Spells from other Classes and will craft Spells that can only be used for the active Hero in use.

Important issues:

We have fixed a number of notable issues throughout the game.

• Co-op: Fixed an issue where a soft-lock (the game appears to be working but nothing can be adjusted) can occur when another player joins the battle
• Fixed a number of Spell issues across the game and updated descriptions
• Fixed a number of Armor pieces where their passives were not activating correctly
• Killing the second or fourth enemies that have a Spell that affects the board can cause the game to freeze when selecting an Altar after battle

The development team is aware of a number of problems around the Co-op battles freezing, crashing, or experiencing issues at the end of gameplay. Some issues relating to the Co-Op mode have been resolved, however, we are continuing to investigate a number of related issues. You may still see some problems.

Spell fixes:

• The Smite Spell was creating 2-20 Gems instead of the intended 2-7 Gems. This has been a big change, but the Spell was not intended to be working in this way
• Fixed an issue with Burning Fury was not applying bonus damage correctly
• Fixed an issue where Dragon Helm was counting Mana incorrectly
• The Lightning Bolt Spell was not destroying any columns. The Spell now has a chance to destroy 3 Columns, as described

Other issues

• Evolving the Guard Follower to Mythic can sometimes crash the game

• The background of the Shop is zoomed on closing and restarting the game when remaining on the shop screen
• Elemental Damage effect doesn’t scale/layer correctly with screen resolution setting
• The game becomes unresponsive when trying to ‘Retreat’ from the battle before the victory/defeat screen appears
• Split Skulls Spell effect sometimes shows pink particles instead of the correct effect
