RECAP - July 28, 2020 (Nergal)

** SteelSpine’s RECAP for JULY 28, 2020 **

There was no LiveStream again this week due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.  Our last LiveStream with the Devs was on February 27th.

Thank you ALL for the well wishes after the death of my father in law last week.  It really means a lot to both me and my grieving wife.  You all are awesome.  The funeral was 400 miles away, and we just got home early this morning (Tuesday) - so I haven’t had a chance to reply to any messages yet (to be honest I haven’t even opened the game since last week), but I will do so later this week.  Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.  :-)

EVENT DETAILS:

This week’s Event will be called DEATH & DECAY.  It will begin on THURSDAY, JULY 30 and run until MONDAY, AUGUST 3.


Titan Details:

This week’s Event features the debut of NERGAL, the Poison Infiltrator.  NERGAL has the ability to summon Omega Panthers to the battlefield.  He also has Skills that significantly increase your Panther & Titan Armor Piercing and the Damage of your Titan, Panthers & Poison Spells - especially on offense (Attack).

NERGAL’s SKILLS:
Slot 1:  On Enemy Troop Death, +25% Titan, Troop & Spell Poison Damage (Max 10).  +180% Panther Health.  +117% Titan Health.  +5 Summon Omega Panther Spells.
Slot 2:  +44% Titan Critical.  +200% Titan Poison Damage (2x on Attack).  +300% Panther Poison Damage (2x on Attack).
Slot 3:  On Titan Critical, 75% chance to increase Panther Critical 15% (Max 6).  +30% Panther Melee Resist.  +150% Panther Armor.
Slot 4:  +30% Titan All Elemental Resist.  +200% Titan Armor Piercing (2x on Attack).  +150% Panther Armor Piercing (2x on Attack).
Slot 5:  On Allied Panther Death, cast DEATH & DECAY (Max 5) (SEE NOTE1 BELOW).  +30% Panther Ranged Resist.  +40% Titan Melee Resist.

Prestige Skill (at Level 10):  +120% Base Titan Damage.  Every 30% Titan Health lost, Nergal Summons a “WARRIOR SPIRIT” (See NOTE2 below).

NOTE1:   DEATH & DECAY is a modified version of the Poison Cloud Spell, which automatically casts after one of your own Panther Troops are killed on the battlefield and has +400% Damage, +50% Spell Radius (area of effect) and +50% Duration compared to a regular Poison Cloud Spell.  When triggered, “Death & Decay” will be cast at the location on the battlefield where your Panther unit was killed.


NOTE2:  Each WARRIOR SPIRIT is an incarnation of Nergal himself, but with 50% Health and Damage of Nergal’s base stats at Level 60.  At each reduction of Nergal’s total Health by 30% (i.e. when 70%, 40% and 10% Health remain), a WARRIOR SPIRIT will be Summoned into battle on a random Enemy Troop location.  These Spirits act as a Poison Elemental Titan that can be controlled in battle.  Any Relic or Skill effects that boost Poison Titan stats will also boost the WARRIOR SPIRITs.

NERGAL will be available for 21k Souls.


New Relics available in this Event:  

4* NERGAL’S MACE
+50% Titan Poison Damage
+80% Omega Panther Poison Damage

ANTI CHEATING UPDATE:

The Devs posted the following message this week regarding Cheating and Hacking in DoT (NOTE from SteelSpine:  I have been out of the loop for the past week, so I am not sure if this is in response to a particular Event or if the Devs are finally acknowledging how widespread and pervasive cheating & hacking has become in this game):

We read, watch and listen to all your feedback about cheating in Dawn Of Titans. We understand that keeping the game fair requires continual improvement of our processes. The current setup is a four-pronged approach of automated banning, anomaly detection, manual checks, and reports to Customer Support from players.

Whenever a new hack or exploit is identified, we often eliminate the vector through code changes. If that approach is not possible, heuristics and scripts are written and run hourly to identify players using it. During events, a lot of additional manual account checks are performed by several team members, on top of the always-on automated detection and banning. Whilst these processes catch the vast majority of cheaters, new methods can evade detection in the short-term.

Over the coming weeks, we will scrutinise player data for key resources and indicators to further improve our processes. This review will include (but is not limited to): Gems, Divine Gems, 5* Relics, Divine Titans, Titan Prestige, Boost Relics, VP, reward collection, tokens and timers.

The Dawn Of Titans team has a zero-tolerance approach to cheaters and we appreciate the time and effort spent by the community and content creators to highlight these issues. As a reminder, bans for cheating and hacking in Dawn of Titans are permanent, and accounts will not be restored for players who have been identified as such.

XXXXX

NEXT WEEK:

MONDAY, 3 AUGUST:  A TITANS UNLEASHED Event (also known as a TITAN FUSION EVENT).  This one will feature INFILTRATORS in the Temple, but as always ALL same-class to same-class Fusion will result in the same XP bonus.

MONDAY, 3 AUGUST until THURSDAY, 6 AUGUST:  A CONQUEST Event will take place.  It will feature the return of HADES, the Omega Grenadier-Summoning Fire Champion.  Top Relic Rewards in this Event will include the 4* Burnt Charms, 4* Cloak of Hades, 4* Hades Chariot, 4* Fire Pit and 4* Volcanic Rock.  Individual Leaderboard Rewards will include L1-L50 Hades for R500-R1, L5-L15 Urakor for R10000-R501, and 100-1000 Gems for R10001 & below.

THURSDAY, AUGUST:  Another Leaderboard Event begins.  This one will feature the return of LU BU, the Lightning Storm-boosting Lightning Champion.  (Note:  The Devs did not mention whether or not Lu Bu will be Reskilled for this Event, so as of right now it looks like he will retain his 2019 Skills).

NO RECAP THIS WEEK - July 22, 2020 (Pigsy)

Hey everybody,

After a long battle with brain cancer, my father in law died earlier this week.  Since I’m traveling pretty far with my wife and kids for his funeral (and since this week is a rehashed Event with no new Titans, Relics or information to report), I’m going to skip writing the Recap.  I know you guys depend on me for info, but there just isn’t enough time for me to sit down and type something up today or tomorrow - and all of the info you may be interested in can be found on dotdatabase this week anyway.

I’ll be back next Wednesday with another edition of the Recap, along with a second “Q&A Recap” next Friday.

Thanks for understanding.  Good luck in the Pigsy Event if you decide to participate, and have a great weekend.

DEVELOPER Q&A:

Question (Q) from a Player:  When will we next see an All-Boost-Relic event?
Answer (A) from a Developer:  We have an Event planned for this month (July) that will allow you to use any Boost Relic to gain more Souls per battle. Look out for details in next week’s Livestream Update blog post.

Q:  When using a Shield or Rage Spell on multiple troops, does that buff apply to all troops, or does it divide up the values between them?
A:  Each individual troop receives their own Shield or Rage, therefore the buff applies to all troops that are within the Spell radius when it casts.

Q:  Sekhmet utilises Raise Dead Skeletons in battle, can you please post the troop stats for Raise Dead Skeleton units?
A:  Since the release of Sekhmet, we have been reviewing the Raise Dead Skeleton troop and making sure it aligns with the current meta. We ask that you give us just a little more time to evaluate the troop, and we will post the stats and details in a Livestream Update soon.

Q:  Can you update us on what is provided for new and low-level players who have installed the game recently, and if there are any future updates planned for these players?
A:  We will be implementing a large update for new and low-level players in our next release. This will cover a number of aspects of early game progression. We will give a detailed overview when we release the next version update blog post, but for now, we can confirm that we are improving the Daily Login Calendar and making changes to Troop, Spell and Building timers for new and early-level players.

Q:  Can you explain Ranged/Melee Resist and how they stack against Elemental resistances?
A:  The damage from an incoming attack first gets reduced by the Melee or Ranged Resist stat, depending on the type of attack, up to the respective cap. Melee Resist is capped at 80%, and Ranged at 95%.
This damage is then reduced by the effective armor, which is the target’s Armor minus the attacker’s Armor Piercing. Armor is capped at 70%.
Then, the damage is further reduced by the elemental resist, which is capped at 90%

Q:  It was great to hear about development ideas during the old Livestream – can we get some updates on future developments?
A:  We will have a blog post coming next month that will outline the features coming in our next big update. We’re excited to share these details with you, but ask that you wait just a little bit longer. One of our main areas of focus has been improving and evolving the capabilities of the Invoke system, so stay tuned for more information in the near future.

Q:  Will an increase to Relic storage be coming in a future update?
A:  We are currently investigating whether it will be possible for us to further increase Relic storage. We apologise that increasing the storage space is not something we frequently do, but there are technical limitations that we have to consider before doing so.  (NOTE from SteelSpine:  The last increase to Relic Storage space came almost exactly a year ago, during the week of July 20, 2019.  The Devs answered this same exact question on July 24, 2019 - by saying that they were “planning to increase Relic Storage a little bit more in a coming update”).

Q:  Will we see any additional Titan Collections coming to the Pantheon?
A:  You can look forward to new collections with unique rewards coming to the Titan Pantheon in the next update to the game, arriving early September.  (NOTE from SteelSpine: This is great news if it holds true. The Pantheon is one of my favorite features, and it is sorely underutilized. For reference:  The last new item added to the Pantheon was the Pandora’s Box Relic, way back in November 2018.  The Devs have been promising an update to the Pantheon since at least April 2019).

Q:  Will we ever see a 4* Nemean Lion Pelt as an event reward?
A:  The 4* version of the Nemean Lion Pelt will be available in an upcoming event next month!

Q:  Will you be updating any of the effects on the original set of 5* Relics (e.g. Shadow Dancer)?
Q:  We currently have no plans to reskill the first set of 5* Relics (including Shadow Dancer), we will, however, continue to review the Divine Altars, and future updates to them will be announced in the weekly blog post prior to going live. In fact, the Shadow Dancer may prove more useful in future…  (NOTE from SteelSpine:  The Devs said exactly the same thing during their last LiveStream in February - that the 5* Shadowdancer would be “more useful in the future”).

Q:  Will we see new Daily Login Calendar rewards in the future?
A:  We will be introducing an updated Daily Login Calendar in the next game update, coming early September.

Q:  Improvements should be made to Spell casting timers on defense, are any changes planned for this?
A:  Yes, we are reviewing Spell casting on defense and if any changes are made, they will come in the next game update due in early September.

Q:  Are the drop rates of Boost Relics from the Event Boost Relic Altars changed with each Alliance or Solo War?
A:  The drop rates of Relics within the Event Boost Relic Altars are not changed with each Event. The drop rates are shown in the HelpShift article that is easily accessed by tapping the information button on an Altar.

Q:  There have been a number of instances this year in which a Titan skill or Relic effect has changed in-game from what was shown in the blog. Can you make sure this doesn’t happen in future?
A:  We understand that this is an issue, and we are working hard to make sure the blog and any announcements we make prior to their release in the game are as accurate as possible. All posts and communications on our blog and social channels contain information that is subject to change, as in development, we may discover technical or balance limitations that require us to change an effect or value before going live.  (NOTE from SteelSpine:  I’m not sure how the Devs can discover “technical or balance limitations” less than 24 hours before an Event starts over and over and over again - but okay).

Q:  When will the Livestream return?  (Note from SteelSpine:  Can you guess which question I asked?  Haha).
A:  We are eager to return, but we won’t be able to bring you our Weekly Livestream whilst we work from home during this period. Matt, Dom and Haig are still working hard on the Livestream Update blog posts each week to keep you informed, and we hope this Q&A helps in filling the void left by their absence from your YouTube and Facebook feeds. As a little message, Matt wanted to let you know that he’s bought a brand new shirt, and that, as always, he’ll see you on the battlefield!  

(NOTE from SteelSpine:  Regarding that last Question..  If my wife can do three or four zoom meetings per day from home during the Covid Crisis - despite not knowing anything about technology at all - I’m pretty sure the Devs could figure out how to do a LiveStream every week or two if they wanted to.  Even if they don’t include “live battles”, it would be nice to have our weekly questions answered before each Event).

NEXT 2 WEEKS:

MONDAY, 20 JULY:  A TROOPCRAFT Event (discount on Troop training and Troop Leveling).

TUESDAY, 21 JULY until THURSDAY, 23 JULY:  A RAID BOSS Event will take place. It will feature battles against a modified version of HUNTRESS, the Physical Ranger.

Recap delayed - will be posted Friday.

Hey, all!

I didn’t forget about the Recap this week - I’ve just been extra busy at home dealing with a few things that need my attention.

Since this week’s Event (Firestryke Redux) has already begun - and since the Devs are posting their first “Developer Q&A” tomorrow - I am going to wait until tomorrow to put together this week’s Recap.  That way everything is in ONE post - the Event info, the Boss Raid info for next week, the upcoming calendar AND the first-ever Developer Q&A.

Check back here tomorrow (Friday, July 17) for the full recap.  Sorry for the delay, everybody - thanks for understanding!

RECAP - July 8, 2020 (Sekhmet)

** SteelSpine’s RECAP for JULY 8, 2020 **

XXXXX


XXXXX

Sorry for the delay, all!  I didn’t realize that the Official Blog had been updated a day early.  My apologies.  :-) -Steel


There was no LiveStream again this week due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.  Our last LiveStream - and last Q&A session - with the Devs was on February 27th.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  The Devs are FINALLY starting to take Questions for a “Bi-Weekly Developer Q&A”.  While this won’t be NEARLY as good - or as effective - as being able to ask the Devs questions in “real time” each week when an Event is revealed, it’s better than what we’ve had for the past five months (which is no contact with or from the Dev Team AT ALL).  It remains to be seen how effective these Question & Answer sessions will be - but crumbs are a feast to a starving man, so it is what it is.

If you’d like to submit a Question for the Devs, please fill out the form at https://blog.dawnoftitans.com/submitquestion/ (and remember not to include any sensitive info, like your email address, name, player ID or password).

(Note from SteelSpine:  Hopefully this is a TEMPORARY MEASURE, and we will get back to having real LiveStreams soon - but since they plan on doing these Q&As every two weeks, I’m not very optimistic about the Stream returning any time soon.  Please prove me wrong, Devs.  Half a year of being ignored by the Developers is six months too long - and a pre-rehearsed Q&A session that’s filtered ten times to make sure nothing interesting or controversial is included just isn’t enough for a game as expensive and time-consuming as DoT).

This week’s Event will be called INVOKE: THE UNDYING.  It will begin on THURSDAY, JULY 9 and run until MONDAY, JULY 13.

NEXT TWO WEEKS:

MONDAY, 13 JULY:  A TITANS UNLEASHED Event (also known as a TITAN FUSION EVENT).  This one will feature Berserkers in the Temple, but as always ALL same-class to same-class Fusion will result in the same XP bonus.

TUESDAY, 14 JULY until THURSDAY, 16 JULY:  A THEATERS OF WAR Event.  It will be called “RANGERS”.  Players can choose to turn in their saved Relics of War for ARTEMIS (40 Relic of War Tokens, at the Titan Gold Altar), ETALUS (30 Relic of War Tokens, at the Titan Silver Altar), or JORAN (3* Titan, 15 Relic of War Tokens, at the Titan Bronze Altar).  (NOTE from SteelSpine: Players can also choose to continue saving up their Relic of War Tokens.  Relics of War carry over between Theaters of War Events, so you don’t need to spend them this week if you don’t like the Titans being offered - if you don’t spend them they will reappear in the Temple during the next Theaters of War).

THURSDAY, 16 JULY:  Another Leaderboard Event begins.  This one will feature the return of FIRESTRYKE.  (NOTE:  FIRESTRYKE will be Reskilled for this Event).


MONDAY, 20 JULY:  A TROOPCRAFT Event (discount on Troop training and Troop Leveling).

TUESDAY, 21 JULY until THURSDAY, 23 JULY:  A RAID BOSS Event will take place.  This one will be called “THE HUNT”.  No further details are available.  (Note from SteelSpine:  This is ONLY SPECULATION on my part, but “The Hunt” sounds like a name that has typically been given to Events that feature Panthers and/or Poison Titans.  For example:  The first Artemis Event - way back on September 27 of 2018 - was called “Goddess of The Hunt”...  and while I highly doubt this Event will include Artemis since she was just offered in April, I would be quite surprised if this Raid Boss Event didn’t feature battles against a modified version of a Poison Titan.  It is possible that the “Boss” in this Event could just be a Ranger from a different Element, though, since that would also fit the “Hunt” theme).

THURSDAY, 23 JULY:  Another Leaderboard Event begins.  No details were given on the Official DoT Blog.

In last week’s Recap, I mistakenly said that there were “no  further details” for the Theaters of War Event on 14 July.  The Devs DID mention at the very end of last week’s Official Blog post that the Theaters of War Event would feature Artemis, and that you will be able to purchase Artemis (4* Poison Ranger) for 40 Relics of War Tokens, Etalus (4* Ice Ranger) for 30 Relics of War and Joran (3* Earth Ranger) for 15 Relics of War.  They also mentioned that FLAME CANDLES (which will be the Boost Relic for the Reskilled Firestryke Event on July 16) will be available as possible Battle Drops from the Arenas.  

I’m not sure how I managed to overlook that information - but THANK YOU to “Pretinha .Tr” for pointing out my error.  Sorry for the confusion, all!  :-)
