NO LIVESTREAM THIS WEEK - March 27, 2019

** SteelSpine’s LIVESTREAM RECAP for MARCH 27, 2019 **

XXXXX

Hi, everybody!

According to the Dawn of Titans Twitter feed, there will NOT be a LiveStream this week.  No further information as to why it was cancelled - but I would imagine they decided to take a break after the craziness of last week’s Zeus Event.

I don’t really have anything new to report this week - I just didn’t want anybody to check the blog and wonder what happened.  That being said, this week’s Main Event SHOULD still be a Conquest Event.

I’ll return next week with a fresh edition of the Recap.  Until then, have a great weekend - and thanks again for reading!  :-)

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS:

Question (Q) from a Player:  Will the “Ascension Shards” from Beta ever return to the game?
Answer (A) from a Developer:  No, that was from a completely different system than what we wound up going with - so they will not return to the game (or be useful in the future if you still have them).

Q:  Does Zeus have the same attack range as other Rangers?
A:  Yes.

Q:  Why can’t we upload our own Avatar pictures?
A:  Lots of reasons - mostly because we would have to create a whole new censor system to remove inappropriate images.

Q:  Will we ever get a player trading system?
A:  No.  We thought about doing it, but after looking at it again it just would be too difficult to implement - and we have loads of other things we would like to do instead.

Q:  Will Pigsy ever get a name change?
A:  No, he will always be Pigsy.

Q:  Will the 5* Ranger Relic work with Zeus?
A:  Yes - he will get all of the Stats, but he will not hold a bow.  He will still shoot lightning bolts from his hands.

Q:  Will Zeus be the last “God Titan”?
A:  No, there will be other Gods in the future.

Q:  Will you ever open up the sixth Titan Skill?
A:  No, not in the near future.

Q:  How soon will Dionysus come back in an Event?
A:  We’ll probably see him again, but we have no date set right now.

Q:  Are Athena’s Skills updated or changed?
A:  No, they are the same as before - but her Omega Storm Maidens will get the new +30% Critical boost (see below).

Q:  Will there be a Titan Fusion Event soon?
A:  YES, there will be one next week (after the Zeus Event).

TEASERS and OTHER INFORMATION:

The Devs said there was some sort of an emergency that prevented them from doing the Saint Patrick’s Day giveaway they talked about during last week’s Stream.  They said they “adjusted things for during the Zeus Event to make up for it”, and promised another giveaway in the near future.


Omega Storm Maidens have been given a boost.  In addition to +80% Damage and +30% Speed (but -20% Attack Range), they have now been granted +30% Criticals.


There will be a 5k Gem giveaway on each of the following YouTuber’s channels at the beginning of the Event:  Yuki, XadeGamer, Godan, GamingJaeger, SouljiahXD, Zalonisap and Bo Ganora.


Submissions are currently being accepted for the naming portion of the Design A Relic competition.  Check out @DawnOfTitans on Twitter to see the Relic the community chose, and for details on how you can submit your idea for its name.


There is a poll on DoT’s Facebook and Twitter pages until Thursday morning - you can vote for which Player Avatar pictures make it into the game first.

XXXXX

NEXT WEEK:

There will be a Titans Unleashed Event (also known as a Titan Fusion Event).  No further info on what day it will begin, but the Devs did say it will be after the Zeus Event.

Next week’s regularly-scheduled weekly Event will be a CONQUEST Event.

LIVESTREAM CONTEST WINNERS:

YouTube:  “No Name”

Facebook:  Todd Draper

(Note from SteelSpine:  I am sorry for any misspellings above - the Devs announce the names, but they don’t show them written out.  If your name is similar to one of the names above, and you entered the LiveStream contest, please contact the Devs on DoT’s Facebook page to claim your prize.  Congratulations!!)

I try to keep my own personal stuff to a minimum in the Recaps, but I’d like to take a minute here to give a quick shout out to the guys in All For One.  

Thanks to a recruitment post I came across on Reddit, “A41” was the first Alliance I ever joined.  Narcissus and the other members took the time to teach me the game and never made me feel stupid for asking stupid questions when I was a newbie.  I actually started doing these Stream Recaps exclusively for my old Alliance mates in All For One - and they just kind of exploded into a community-wide weekly Recap from there.  :-)

Last week we had a little reunion of sorts in Masters League, where we all pitched in to help their sister Alliance promote.  We even had a couple of guys come out of “retirement” for the week.  It was without a doubt the most fun I’ve had in DoT in *months*.

Dawn of Titans is just a game - but the friendships we build here can have real meaning for people.  So here’s to my first (and forever) gaming family in All For One - can’t wait to see you guys again!  :-)

XXXXX

That’s it for this week’s LiveStream.  If I made any mistakes or left out anything important, please let me know and I will issue a correction in next week’s Recap (and give you a shoutout for the help).  

Feel free to share the info from this Recap with anyone who might find it helpful.  If you edit or cut out pieces to share, I’d appreciate it if you gave me credit.  :-)

As of right now (March 2019), the easiest way to contact me is by finding me in the game.  You can reach me in-game under the name SteelSpine (I am the Level 37 one, as of March 2019).

EVENT DETAILS:

This week’s Event is called GROUNDED STORM.  It will begin on THURSDAY, MARCH 14 and run until MONDAY, MARCH 18.


Titan Details:

This week’s Event features URKON, the 4* Earth (Ragnar) Guardian.  Previously only available as a possible drop from the 10,000 Divine Gems Altar (along with Auria), Urkon has a special skill in Slot 1 called “Urkon’s Shield”, which (at Titan Level 20) grants +30% Base Titan Damage, Health and Resistance To All Elements.  Urkon’s other Skills HAVE BEEN CHANGED.  He still primarily boosts Goliaths, but he now has three Tier II Goliath Defensive Skills and one Goliath Defensive X Skill.  (More info below in the Q&A).

URKON’s SKILLS:
Slot 1:  +20% Base Titan Damage, Health, All Elemental Resist (30% Max)
Slot 2:  Goliath Defensive Tier II Skill
Slot 3:  Goliath Defensive Tier II Skill
Slot 4:  Goliath Defensive Tier II Skill
Slot 5:  Goliath Defensive X Skill

Urkon is available for 14k Souls.

(Note from SteelSpine:  The Devs said Urkon will provide a 1.4x Soul Bonus for “a special Event next week”.  They did NOT specifically say that it would be Zeus next week - but they giggled and laughed and seemed to hint that it would be).


New Relic available in this Event:  

4* URKON’S WAR PAINT (available at 18k Souls).
+40% Titan Health
+42% Goliath Armor
+40% Goliath Health
(Note:  Stats above are when maxed out at Level 10).

(See dotdatabase.net for full details on the above Relics).


1.2x Soul Bonus for using 4* Guardian Titans.
1.1x Soul Bonus for using 3* Guardian Titans.


It is (as of right now) a SOLO LEADERBOARD EVENT (also known as an Individual War Event); prizes will be awarded to all Players according to their personal (solo/individual) Ranking at the end of the Event.  (THIS MAY CHANGE).


Urkon Ranking Reward Levels:

1st Place:  Level 50 Urkon.
2nd Place:  L40 Urkon
3rd:  L30 Urkon

11-50:  L15
51-100:  L10
101-250:  L5
251-500:  L1 


In addition to a Guardian Takeover at the Temple, there will also be a special NEW Titan XP POTION Relic in this Event called “URKON’S NOTES”.  Urkon’s Notes have ONE USE and are ONLY able to be equipped by EARTH GUARDIANS.  They will be available during the Event in the Temple and in the Event Rewards.

URKON’S NOTES STATS:

2* Urkon’s Notes will grant 4,000 Titan XP.
3* Urkon’s Notes will grant 15,000 Titan XP.
4* Urkon’s Notes will grant 40,000 Titan XP (Also grants +100% Titan Earth Damage and +100% Goliath Damage).

XXXXX

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS:

Question (Q) from a Player:  Will we be able to get doubles of a certain Resist from Urkon’s Skills?
Answer (A) from a Developer: Since all three of his Goliath Skills are Tier II, NO, you will not get doubles of any particular skill.  (IMPORTANT NOTE from SteelSpine:  The ORIGINAL version of Urkon - from the 10k Divine Gem Altar - had a chance to roll Tier I, Tier II and/or Tier III Goliath Resist To Melee, which made it possible to roll an Urkon that made Goliaths almost completely impervious to Melee Damage (or 100% Resistant to Melee when equipped with the 4* Head of Mimir Relic)  IT SOUNDS TO ME like the Devs are confirming with this answer that Urkon will NOT be able to roll near-perfect Resist To Melee, because he’ll only be capable of rolling ONE of those Skills.  I could be wrong, but this SEEMS to be the case).

Q:  Will Urkon be the only 1.4x Boost Titan for next week’s “special Event”?
A:  As of right now, yes.  There will be also be a 1.3x Boost Titan, but as of now Urkon will be the only 1.4x booster.

Q:  Will next week be Conquest?
A:  NO, next week will be an Alliance Leaderboard Event.  The week after that, though, will probably be a Conquest Event (around March 28-29).

Q:  Any new Troop types coming?
A:  “I don’t know.  Maybe!”.  (This answer was very tongue-in-cheek.  The Devs have all but confirmed that the are working on a new Troop type at this point).  The Devs also said “Storm Maidens will not be the last new Troop”.

Q:  Can you bring back the old Avalos (the one with Elemental Resists)?
A:  He doesn’t really fit in the new Meta, so I don’t think that will happen.

Q:  What about Poseidon?  Will we see him again?
A:  Yes, Poseidon will be in an Event again.  He will return sooner rather than later.

Q:  Any changes coming to the Leagues?
A:  We’re working on improvements, but no news on that front right now.

Q:  Is Dionysus coming back to an Event?
A:  We still want to bring him back sometime, but not sure when.  Definitely not before Poseidon, in any case.

Q:  We need Relic Fusion Events!!
A:  We are still thinking about what to do about Fusion Events.  No news yet, but we might have something for you in the future.

Q:  Can you add an icon on each Relic showing which Element they boost?
A:  We’re working on improvements to Relic filtering, but some Relics are more than one Element so I don’t think we’ll be able to do that.  We are working on a Rarity Filter, so you can look at only 3* Relics, 4*, etc.

Q:  Any changes to End Of Season prizes?
A:  We’re working on that right now, actually.  We’ll let you know when there’s more news.

Q:  Does Lightning Resist work against Lightning Spells, too, or only vs Titan and Troop Damage?
A:  YES, Lightning Resist should work against Spells.  If it doesn’t, then that’s a bug - not a feature.

Q:  Is Imperials Armor working?  It doesn’t seem to be taking off Damage correctly.
A:  No, there is a bug with Imperial Armor currently.  We are working on a fix, and it will be in either Version 1.31 or 1.32.

Q:  Idea for the Monument XP Event:  Add Titans from all six elements, along with possibly high level Titans.
A:  That’s actually along the lines of what we are thinking about doing in the future.  It also ties in with Leagues - we would like to make it so the higher League you are in, the better Rewards that are available to you.  We’re thinking about doing something like that, yeah.  (This was a pretty confusing Q and A).

Q:  How about a “Titan XP Bank” for when you are using a maxed out Titan?
A:  We’re hearing that a lot.  We think it’s a very good idea, actually.

TEASERS and OTHER INFORMATION:

Voting is currently underway for the design and naming portion of the Design A Relic competition.  Check out DoT’s Facebook Page to see the entries and vote for your favorite.  The winner gets 50,000 Gems, so choose wisely.  :-)


The Devs said Urkon would provide a 1.4x Soul Boost for “an upcoming Special Event next week”.  (They didn’t say exactly what this Event would be, but it SOUNDS TO ME like it will almost certainly be Zeus based on them calling it “a shockingly good Event” and “electrifying”).

XXXXX

NEXT WEEK:

MONDAY (probably):  There will be another “Monument XP”.  (Note from SteelSpine:  Hopefully the Devs tweaked it a bit.  The last one was..  ugh.)


The Devs said we can “expect to receive something special on St. Patrick’s Day”.  Saint Patrick’s Day will be Sunday, March 17.  They didn’t say what it would be, but they did say “don’t get your hopes up too much, guys.  It is free stuff”.


The Devs said next week they will definitely debut the newest Avatars (player portraits) during the LiveStream, and “hopefully let the players vote on which ones make it into the game”.


There will be “a special Event” next week, probably starting on Thursday (although the Devs did not say which day).  The Devs didn’t say exactly what it would be - but they called it “shockingly good”, so it SOUNDS like it will be Zeus.
