LIVESTREAM RECAP - February 12, 2020 (Eros)

** SteelSpine’s LIVESTREAM RECAP for FEBRUARY 12, 2020**

XXXXX

Haig (Live Ops Manager) and Dom (Associate Art Director) were our hosts for this week’s LiveStream.  

There has been no Game Designer on the stream since December 18, 2019, when Matt began his year-long trip around the world.

XXXXX

EVENT DETAILS:

This week’s Event will be called GOD OF LOVE.  It will begin on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13 and run until MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17.


Titan Details:

This week’s Event features the debut of EROS, the Physical Archer.  He is equipped with a brand new type of Skill, which “auto casts” Rage Spells on six of your Troops every 20 seconds.

EROS’ SKILLS:
Slot 1:  +225% Archer Damage, Cast Rage on 6 Random Units Every 20 Seconds
Slot 2:  +88% Goliath Armor, +2 Summon Omega Goliaths Spells
Slot 3:  +180% Titan Damage, +44% Archer Critical
Slot 4:  +117% Goliath Health, +2 Summon Omega Goliaths Spells
Slot 5:  +88% Titan Armor Piercing, +88% Archer Armor Piercing

NOTE from SteelSpine:  According to the Devs, the Skill in Slot 1 will last for the duration of a battle, which could make this a very interesting Titan - especially if you have a maxed out Staff Of Iron (which the Devs confirmed will boost the Damage and Duration of Eros’ “auto cast” Rage Spells).  

ALSO - this should be obvious, but the Slot 1 Skill will only cast Rage on YOUR Units, not on enemy Units.  The Slot 1 Skill will also work when Eros is on Defense, and Haig confirmed that it “should work” on Omega Goliaths.

EROS will be available for 18k Souls.


New Relics available in this Event:  

4* EROS’ QUIVER
+64% Omega Goliaths Health
+60% Goliaths Damage
+24% Goliaths Resist Against Void

4* LOVE’s ARROW
+60% Titan Physical Damage
+12% All Troop Critical
+65% Rage (Spell) Damage

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS:

Question (Q) from a Player:  Any news regarding Baba Yaga?
Answer (A) from a Developer:  Baba Yaga will be in Version 1.37.  Unfortunately, we encountered some problems during testing - so 1.37 is taking a bit longer than we wanted it to take.  So Baba Yaga will have to be pushed back a little bit.  Maximum wait should be about 6-7 weeks from now.  (NOTE from SteelSpine:  This means that the timeline I discussed in last week’s Recap - with Baba Yaga premiering during the month of February, as promised - will NOT happen.  Looks more likely to happen in late March now.  The Devs also mentioned that the Mini Relic Event featuring the 4* Elemental Grasp may be pushed back a bit, too, since they were planning on tying that into the Baba Yaga Event - but they’ll let us know for sure in next week’s Stream).

Q:  Can you add a feature where you can post an additional Relic to your Garrison, similar to Economy Relics at the Barracks?
A:  That would mean creating a new type of Relic.  That’s not something we’ve thought about or discussed in the office, so we’ll bring it up and talk about it in the office.  Not a bad idea.

Q:  Will we ever get a Relic Forging Event (like the current Titan Fusion Event)?
A:  We’re still working on the ins and outs of something like that.  Nothing new to report on this stream, but we are still working on it.

Q:  Can we get the Iron Rune Relic in a Leaderboard Event soon, please?
A:  Haig:  “Um, yeah, ok.  That seems plausible.  We could do that”.

Q:  When will the Wild Arrows Relic come back?
A:  They should be in an Event “hopefully sometime quite soon”.

Q:  Will the Elemental Grasp still be in an Event on February 25?
A:  We were kind of tying it to the Baba Yaga Event, so it might be pushed back a bit.  We’ll let you know next week.

Q:  Is “Circle Select” (for Troops) EVER coming back?
A:  Haig:  I’d LOVE to bring this back, but it turns out that the code for it was deleted.  It’s still on our “to do list” for the future, but since it’s such a big job it has been moved way down the list.

Q:  What class will Baba Yaga be?
A:  Baba Yaga will be a Champion.

Q:  Will Oni be in an Event this year?
A:  Yes.  In fact, there will be two new Titans coming to the Divine Altars sometime around mid March.  (Note for non-English speakers:  The date that Dom gave is NOT correct - he thinks it’s funny to give random dates when these questions are asked).

Q:  When is Kronos coming back?
A:  Haig:  I can’t say right now.  Someone will be making an appearance very soon, though:  the God of Olympus.  (Note from SteelSpine:  I’m sure Haig is referring to Zeus here, but someone should tell him there are twelve Gods of Olympus and like half of them are in Dawn of Titans.  Haha)

Q:  When is a Void Minotaur coming?
A:  Haig:  “Oooh!  Wait for the schedule...”

Q:  Is there a release date for v1.37?
A:  Not yet, no.  It’s not far off, though.

Q:  When will the Staff Of Iron be in an Event again?
A:  Probably sometime in the coming weeks.

Q:  When will you start posting the monthly schedule on Social Media again?
A:  It should return soon.  We’re planning something a little bit bigger and better for it.  (Note from SteelSpine:  I wonder if they’ll copy my format).  :-)

Q:  When will Zeus return?
A:  Sometime BEFORE April 2.

Q:  Is a “use any old Event Relic” Event coming?
A:  Yes, we have one scheduled soon.

Q:  Any news on a Void Boar Titan?
A:  We can’t talk about it at this point.

TEASERS and OTHER INFORMATION:

There will be a little FREE GIFT BUNDLE for all Players this Friday (Valentine’s Day), so make sure you log in and collect it!


Haig announced during the Stream that the 5* Axes of War Relic HAS been fixed in-game.  It should give the correct amount of BASE Damage now.  (GREAT JOB again getting the word out about this, everybody!).  He also said the Devs are looking into Lubu’s Armor Skill and the other 5* Relics mentioned in last week’s Stream, and will have more info for us next week.

XXXXX

NEXT THREE WEEKS:

MONDAY, 17 FEBRUARY:  A TITAN’S UNLEASHED Event (TITAN FUSION Event).  It will feature Rangers in the Temple.

TUESDAY, 18 FEBRUARY:  A THEATERS OF WAR Event.  This one will be Void Themed.

THURSDAY, 20 FEBRUARY:  A PORTAL SURGE Event (discount on purchased Portal Stones).

FRIDAY, 21 FEBRUARY:  Another CONQUEST Event begins.  It will feature the return of RA, the Fire Guardian.  (NOTE:  Ra boosts the effectiveness of Meteor Strike Spells, and has Grenadier Offensive Skills and Horde Defensive Skills).


MONDAY, 24 FEBRUARY:  A KINGDOM RUSH Event (discount on Neutral Land Refreshes).

TUESDAY, 25 FEBRUARY:  A TEMPLE EVENT, which will “focus on a specific Relic”.  (NOTE:  The Devs previously mentioned that we should be able to “get our hands on” the Elemental Grasp Relic on this day - but this has probably changed now that the Baba Yaga Event has been pushed back).

THURSDAY, 27 FEBRUARY:  Another Leaderboard Event Begins.  The Devs said it would feature “a Titan that was asked about earlier in the Stream” - which means this will likely be the debut of the Void version of Minotaur (NOTE:  This was SUPPOSED TO BE the week that Baba Yaga debuted, but the Devs had to push that Event back due to issues with the upcoming release of Version 1.37).


MONDAY, 2 MARCH:  Another 24 Hour Mini Event (like Kingdom Rush, Portal Surge, etc).

TUESDAY, 3 MARCH:  A Relic Leaderboard Event, focused on a specific Relic (no further info given).

THURSDAY, 5 MARCH:  Another Leaderboard Event begins.  Haig said it would be a “big Titan”, and Dom said it would be “huge”.
