QUESTIONS and ANSWERS:

Question (Q) from a Player:  What happened to the new Economy Relics for Storm Maidens and Lightning Storm Spells?

Answer (A) from a Developer:  We’re almost done with them, they’re coming very soon - perhaps next week.

Q:  Where are the new Avatars?

A:  They are still coming.  We have a plan for new Avatars which “should involve you, the player” - we’ll talk about it more soon, perhaps during next week’s Stream.

Q:  What has been decided in regards to ARTEMIS?  Will players’ old Artemis’ have her skills changed?  (Note from SteelSpine:  LOTS OF QUESTIONS about this in the chat today).

A:  We have people looking into it, but we don’t have a full solution yet..  we’re still looking into it.  We’ll let you know when we’ve decided what to do about this.  (Note from SteelSpine:  7 days to come up with an answer about Artemis, and THIS is the response?  Wtf?)

Q:  Please extend Archer Titans range.

A:  We probably won’t be able to do that - but there are changes coming to Archers pretty soon.  Stay tuned.

Q:  Any upcoming changes to Troop training times?

A:  Nothing new on that front yet, sorry.

Q:  Will there ever be a Storm Maiden Warp Relic?

A:  Yes, that’s part of the Economy Relic set we’re working on.  Should be done next week.

Q:  Will there be an Event soon that allows us to use old Event Relics?

A:  Yes, that will be happening very soon.  (Note from SteelSpine:  a second Q asked if the Old Relic Event will happen in February.  The Devs would not go on record guaranteeing that it will happen this month, but they said it will happen “soon”).

TEASERS and OTHER INFORMATION:

The Devs *finally* discussed the new feature Matt (and the other behind-the-scenes Devs) have been working on!  It will be a new Event Type called CONQUEST.  The Devs said Conquest would be similar to a “Tower Mode”, where you start at Level 1 and work your way up - gaining better Rewards the further you progress.  They said some of the Levels would be straight-up PVP battles, while others would have features like “Corrupted Troops” - which are much larger, much more powerful and more resilient versions of regular Troops.  They shared a picture of a “Corrupted Militia” unit next to a regular Militia unit, and the Corrupted version appeared to be 2-3x larger than the regular.  The Devs said the new Conquest Mode will premiere “very soon”, and they said they will share more details about it during next week’s Stream.

—

The Devs teased another “new” game feature coming “soon”.  They were a little light on details, but they said it would be similar to the Titan Brawl from last year and would involve Players voting on what they’d like to see.  More details on that “soon”.  (Note from SteelSpine:  lots of very vague hints about upcoming features this week..  Not a lot of substance).

—

In case anybody hasn’t noticed, all 4* Titans now have unique descriptions.  Check them out in-game if you’re bored - some of them are pretty interesting.  Fun little change.  :-)

—

The Devs answered a question from GameRescue regarding the missing Physical and Lightning Resist Rings.  The Devs said both will be added to the game very soon.

—

At the very end of the Stream the Devs shared an image that said:

This February in DoT:  

Chinese New Year

New Event Type: Conquest

Community Contest (this had a picture of a Relic canister)

New Greek God (picture was of an outline of a spiked head or spiked hair with glowing purple eyes)

NEXT WEEK:

TUESDAY:  There will be a SECOND Chinese New Year Event starting next TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5 and running until FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8.  It will feature ZHU BAJIE, the NEW 4* Physical Champion.  His skills include a Unique Skill - Zhu Bajie’s Rake - which grants +30% Titan Critical and 3x Rage Spells.

ZHU BAJIE’s SKILLS:

Slot 1:  +30% Titan Critical, 3x Rage Spells

Slot 2:  Titan Offensive Tier II

Slot 3:  Titan Defensive Tier II

Slot 4:  Titan Offensive Tier III

Slot 5:  Titan X Skill (could be Offensive OR Defensive)

(NOTE:  I originally reported him as being an Earth Champion.  Thank you to Malunzo for correcting me!).

New Relics available in the Tuesday Event will include:  

4* Beaded Necklace

+40% Titan Health

+20% Titan Critical

+30% All Troops Physical Damage (Militia, Spearmen, Archers)

4* Calabash

+60% Titan Physical Damage

+30% Titan Armor Piercing

+16% ALL Elemental Resist for All Troops

Wukong will grant a 1.5x Soul Bonus for this Event.

(Man, I really butchered these this week - sorry guys).

(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!!)  (Also:  Why the hell do I keep voting for Dom in these contests?  I mean, really.  Archers and Spears vs Panthers?  Does he not know there are Maidens in the game now?  Sigh, lol).
