EVENT DETAILS:
This week’s Event is called REDEMPTION. It will begin on THURSDAY, APRIL 4 and run until MONDAY, APRIL 8.

Titan Details:
This week’s Event features a newly updated version of VOLSTAN, the 4* Physical (Human) Guardian. VOLSTAN has been changed into a five-skilled Militia-buffing Titan. This new version of VOLSTAN will have three Militia Elemental Resist Tier II Skills and two Militia Defensive X Skills. All three of Volstan’s Tier II Skills will be Militia unique (with no duplicates). (Note from SteelSpine: The Devs called him “the Valorn of Militia”. I’m not sure how well he will work on Defense compared to Valorn, but skill wise that’s a perfect comparison).
SKILLS:
Slot 1: Militia Elemental Resist Tier II (+72% when maxed out)
Slot 2: Militia Elemental Resist Tier II (+72%)
Slot 3: Militia Elemental Resist Tier II (+72%)
Slot 4: Militia Defensive X Skill (Either +234% Health OR +176% Armor)
Slot 5: Militia Defensive X Skill (Whichever one you didn’t get in Slot 4).
VOLSTAN is available for 16,000 Souls.

There are no new Relics available in this Event, but there are a few Relics available that haven’t been offered in a while - including 4* Iron Fist, 4* Fallen Gauntlets and 4* Boots of Deceit.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS:
Question (Q) from a Player: Where are the Lightning Rings?
Answer (A) from a Developer: “Are you referring to the” (Resistance) “Relic? Yeah, we need to put that in at some point. It’s coming”.
Q: Why does the game keep crashing at random?
A: If that is happening to you, it is definitely a bug. Please contact Support via the in-game Help link and tell them what you were doing before the game crashed.
Q: Will Resistance caps in the game be increased above 90%? These new Offensive Titans are chewing through maxed defenses with little effort.
A: “Uhm... yeah, that’s actually a pretty good point”. (Note from SteelSpine: That’s all the Devs had to say about this question. No real answer.)
Q: Will we see any “Wind” Titans?
A: That’s a pretty good idea actually - like Air Element Titans. I’m not against it. You never know.
Q: Are there any plans for changes to the pre-set Land and/or Garrison Defensive Troops?
A: Yes, we have some changes coming up - I think in version 1.31, but maybe in v1.32 - that will add Storm Maidens into the mix as possible VP Land Defenders. We are also looking into possibly increasing the number of “stock” defending troops, maybe at the higher levels, to help offset the strong attacking Titans we’ve released recently.
Q: When will Kronos return in an Event?
A: “ooooh. Not for a while. We have other things planned at the moment”.
Q: When will see Delphira and Valorn again?
A: We don’t have a date set for either of them yet, but we’ll probably see Delphira before we see Valorn again.
Q: Can we get a new “Corruption Spell” that turns regular Troops into their “Corrupted” versions?
A: That sounds pretty cool. (No real answer here).
Q: Any plans for changes to the End-of-Season Rewards?
A: We’re actually meeting with somebody on the team tomorrow about that. We plan to make changes to Season Rewards pretty soon. We’d like to get the changes out for version 1.32, hopefully - but it will definitely be coming soon, at any case.
Q: Can we get a change that will allow you to use your Gold to heal troops?
A: No answer from the Devs here.
(Note from SteelSpine: I agree completely, though - there needs to be a “gold sink” for Castle Level 25 Players to get rid of excess Gold. There’s already a “food sink” (or “corn sink”) available, where you can purchase new Neutral Lands at a high Food/Corn cost. Something comparable for Gold is sorely needed. I thought maybe having the chance to buy a 2-3* Relic for 1 million Gold would be nice. Gold is useless once you’re done upgrading Buildings, so anything to be able to dump off Gold would be awesome - even if it’s ridiculously overpriced).
Q: Any plans for a Player Versus Player Mode?
A: No, we have no plans currently for a true PVP Mode.
Q: Any update on a fix for “suicidal Storm Maidens”?
A: Yeah, we are hoping to have a fix for that in version 1.32. We’re working on it right now.
Q: Will Trials of Power still be coming back?
A: (from Matt): Yeah, I’m working on a fix for that right now - hoping to test it soon. If I can find time to work on it we might see it come back in some form sometime after Version 1.32 is released. It won’t be in the same form as it used to be - since Conquest is so similar to the old ToP - but I think you guys will like it.
Q: Any update on trading Titans and Relics amongst Alliance members?
A: No, we definitely won’t be adding anything like that. There would be too much opportunity for cheating and things like that.
Q: Will we ever see a Wolf Titan?
A: I like that idea, actually. Not anytime soon, but we might do that.
Q: How about being able to use Troop Reinforcements on Garrison Defense?
A: That would be difficult to put into the game. But like we said earlier, we might increase the amount of preset Troops on higher level Lands and Garrisons.
Q: How about a team/Alliance Conquest Event?
A: “That’s a great idea”. (Note from SteelSpine: the way they said “that’s a great idea” leads me to believe that there will be an Alliance Leaderboard version of Conquest coming soon - or maybe even a version of Conquest that tallies up an entire Alliance’s points? Not sure which, but either case would be good for the game in my opinion).
—
(Note from SteelSpine: This question is important, so I’m putting it down here separately from the other Q&A).
Q: WILL RESISTANCES EVER COVER SPELLS?
A: (This is the actual answer, word for word, from the Devs):
Matt (Game Designer): “Yes, um... I thought they did, actually, but I need to double check if...”
Haig (LiveOps Manager): “There’s stuff coming as well, isn’t there? Like new versions of stuff which kind of relates to that, I think...?”
Matt (Game Designer): “Yeah, yeah”.
(Note from SteelSpine: It SOUNDS TO ME like the Devs are planning on creating some sort of a Spell Resist Skill, or maybe a Spell Resist Relic. I guess we’ll have to wait and find out. Later on in the Stream, somebody mentioned to the Devs that testing has confirmed that Lightning Resistance IS NOT working vs Lightning Spells. Matt’s response was “it should be working. If it is not working, it’s a bug - and we will assign it as a priority to be fixed”.)

TEASERS and OTHER INFORMATION:
The next version of DoT - v1.31 - should be released sometime in the next week or two. The Devs said they would give a rundown on what to expect before it is released.
—
The Devs (Matt in particular) said they are working on a new feature for Version 1.32 that “is going to be BIG”. Matt actually said he’s working on several new features for version 1.32. No further news on what these new features might be. They also mentioned that there is a particular reason why version 1.31 and 1.32 will come out pretty close to each other - but they wouldn’t elaborate.
—
The Devs again mentioned upcoming changes to Relic filtering (in your Relic inventory), but they didn’t say exactly what these changes would be.
XXXXX
NEXT WEEK:
MONDAY: There will be a “War Unleashed” Event (extra Titan Experience from the Monuments). The Devs said they “changed it up a little bit” and added free guaranteed battle drops to the Monuments.
Either TUESDAY or WEDNESDAY (the Devs didn’t say when, they just said “next week”): There will be another THEATERS OF WAR Event. The Devs didn’t mention which Titans would be featured in it, but they did say the featured Element would be Ice.
The Devs also said next week’s regularly scheduled end-of-week/weekend Event would be “pretty cool”. No further details from them.
