QUESTIONS and ANSWERS:

Question (Q) from a Player:  What happened to the new Profile Avatars?

Answer (A) from a Developer:  We’re still working on them.  We would like to release them soon - maybe as soon as next week.  Just have a few bugs to work out first.  We might do some sort of a “voting” thing during LiveStreams to decide which Avatars are released first, or something like that.  But yeah, they should be coming very soon.

Q:  Is Loki in the Temple anywhere right now?

A:  We don’t think so.  No, he’s not a Reward for this week’s Event or anything.

Q:  Can you please reduce the timer for Warp Stones in the next Conquest Event?  (Note from SteelSpine:  YES.  YES, YES, YES.  Either this, or a HUGE bump to Warp Stone drop rates from battles - like a 25% drop rate - would be the best improvement to Conquest, in my opinion).

A:  We are looking into this and other improvements to Conquest.  We’re looking into Warp Stone drop rates, balancing improvements and some other stuff.  Please let us know your thoughts and ideas.

Q:  Can you make Level 10 of Conquest more difficult next time?  It was way too easy compared to 8 and 9.

A:  This is one of the things we’re going to work on before the next Conquest.  Thanks for the input!

Q:  When will Chernobog and Belebog show up in an Event?

A:  Since they were just added to the 10k Divine Gem Altar, they won’t show up in a regular weekly Event for a long time.  “In fact, there’s no guarantee that they’ll show up in an Event at all”.  “They might be made available at some point, but it won’t be for a long time if they are”.  (Note from SteelSpine:  This directly contradicts what the Devs said during the Auria Event a few weeks back.  From what I remember, they said Chernobog and Belebog would eventually be made available in a regular Event - just like Auria - but it wouldn’t be for “at least six months”.  Not sure what made them change their tune here).

Q:  What about Urkon?  We haven’t seen him in an Event yet.

A:  (Direct quotes from the Devs):  “Hmmm.  Soon”.  “Within two months, but probably sooner than that”.  “Uh, that’s subject to change though”.

Q:  Can you make it so we can choose what 5* Relic we want at the 5k Divine Gem Altar?

A:  No, I don’t think we’ll be doing that.

Q:  What about new 5* Relics?  Will we get any new ones?

A:  “Maybe.  Maaaaaaybe!”.  (Note from SteelSpine:  The Devs did their whole “shrug our shoulders with a huge shit-eating grin” bit here, which they usually do when somebody has correctly guessed an upcoming feature.  Safe to say they’re thinking about - or working on - new 5* Relics.  Pretty cool!).

Q:  Any new “Daily Events” coming soon?  (Note from SteelSpine:  By “Daily Events”, they mean small one-day Events, similar to reductions in Troop training times).

A:  Yes, actually - we are working on some new Daily Events.  In fact, we have a new one coming up very soon - probably within the next two weeks.  It’s called “Kingdom Rush”.  It’ll start at the beginning of a Season, and it will allow Players to refresh their free Lands five times in 24 hours (as opposed to the current limit of three refreshes per day).  It will also cost half of the amount of Food/Corn it would normally cost to get new Neutral Lands.  (Note from SteelSpine:  This sounds more like an attempt from the Devs to remove some of the extra Food / Corn from the economy.  In any case, it sounds like a nice addition - especially for those at Castle 25 who have nothing to spend resources on anymore).

Q:  WHEN IS THE NEXT FUSION EVENT?

A:  The next Fusion Event will be WITHIN TWO WEEKS.  (Note from SteelSpine:  It sounds like the next one will be the week after next..  so if we don’t see one on February 18/19, we can probably count on seeing one on February 25th or 26th).

Q:  Will we get a chance to train Corrupted Armies?

A:  No, we won’t be adding those to the regular game.  “But that’s not to say we won’t be adding more Troops to the game...”.  (Note from SteelSpine:  Definitely a bit of a teaser here.  Wonder what they’re working on?  Interesting!)

Q:  Theaters of War coming back soon?

A:  Yes, within a few weeks,

Q:  Make a special Event featuring Runa!

A:  “We’re planning a special Event based around Runa.  I’ve said too much already”.  (PLEASE be real.)

Q:  Will Conquest always run with Spoils of War (3x drops)?

A:  We’d like to keep it that way - but we haven’t discussed it yet.  (Note from SteelSpine:  Send them feedback!).

TEASERS and OTHER INFORMATION:

The Devs mentioned that the feedback for last week’s Conquest Event was overwhelmingly positive.  They said they plan to run a Conquest Event pretty regularly going forward.  The Devs also said they would like more input from the community - what did you like, what did you dislike, what would you like to see changed?  They also said they plan to put a survey up on their Facebook page soon for more feedback regarding Conquest.  

(Note from SteelSpine:  I personally thought Conquest was a LOT of fun, but it really got to be a bit of a grind towards the end..  Overall, it was a fun addition to the game - and honestly anything NEW is cool with me).  :-)

—

Version 1.30 should begin rolling out to Players soon - “either next week or the week after”.  It will include:

The new Storm Maiden and Lightning Storm “Economy Relics”.

A fix for 3* Goliath Belts not having the correct Physical Resistance percentages.

An update to the Titan Pantheon.

New loading screens and new loading animations.

Fix for Kronos on Defense.

And “quite a lot of other fixes and additions”.

(Note from SteelSpine:  The Devs said they would go into more detail about version 1.30 during next week’s LiveStream, so I’ll have a deeper dive into it in next week’s Recap).

—

The Devs said they are planning to do a “general upgrade” with “general improvements to how Spells and other things work on Defense”.  Matt said it probably wouldn’t be included until Version 1.31.  (Note from SteelSpine:  This would be GREAT.  Defense sorely needs an upgrade, in my opinion).

XXXXX

NEXT WEEK:

MONDAY:  There will be a Temple Event featuring Freya and Valorn.

THURSDAY:  A new Event.  The Devs said Freya will provide a Soul Bonus - and they said it would be “hot”.  (Note from SteelSpine:  Sounds like it could be Cerberus - but I thought that would happen this week, so I won’t make a prediction.  Haha).
