QUESTIONS and ANSWERS:

Question (Q) from a Player:  Why are people getting banned for using more than 20k Divine Gems at a time?

Answer (A) from a Developer:  They shouldn’t be.  That may be a bug on our end with the new anti-cheating measures.  If that happened to you, please contact Support and we’ll work it out.  (Note from SteelSpine:  Haig dove into this a bit deeper - he said anybody who claims to have been banned for the “Resources Bug” has actually been banned for another reason, NOT the Resources Bug).

Q:  Fix coming for Titans walking in circles?

A:  We think we have finally figured out why this is happening.  A fix is being worked on - probably not for the next Version, but it’s coming.

Q:  Is there an Omega Horde Titan coming?

A:  (Very cheeky):  “Uh.  I mean, you know, maybe.  You never know”.

Q:  Does the “Titan and Troop Void Damage” Skill effect Skeletons from the Raise Dead Spell?

A:  Yes.

Q:  Can we get an Ice Relic Event?

A:  Yeah, we can look into that.

Q:  Can we see the “Defender” Relic in an Event, please?

A:  That’s one of the really old ones.  We’ll have to review it, but we’ll look at updating it maybe and bringing it back.

Q:  Any fix coming for crashes when Fusing?

A:  We haven’t seen a big spike in crashes, so it might just be a few players - but we’ll take a look at it.

Q:  When is Zeus coming back?

A:  We don’t have a date right now, but he will be back at some point.

Q:  Can we have an Event with Ulric or Kamathi please?

A:  Yeah, it’s been a while - we’ll look into it.

Q:  How much Health do Level 25 Horde Troops have now?

A:  (Note from SteelSpine:  The Devs did not have an accurate number in front of them for this question, so I will supply it:  Level 25 Horde Troops, with no boosts or Relics, have 64,321 Health now).

Q:  When will Athena be back?

A:  Probably sooner, rather than later.

Q:  Re-playable Campaign Levels, please.

A:  “Watch this space”.  Hopefully we will be able to tell you something about this - or something similar - in the next few weeks.

TEASERS and OTHER INFORMATION:

Horde Troops have been given another +40% boost to their base Health, starting today (August 14).  This is in addition to (and separate from) the OTHER 40% boost to Horde Health, which was given to them when Version 1.33 was released back in July.

—

The Devs showed off a bunch of the submissions they’ve received for the Design A Titan competition, including a Demon Slayer, a Dwarf, an Ice Sorceror, a Tree/Human hybrid and a bunch of other really cool drawings.  They said they are going to whittle down the submissions and choose the best ones, then post a bunch of polls on DoT’s Social Media channels for us to vote on - probably sometime in the next week or two.  (Note from SteelSpine:  Some of the artwork they showed was absolutely beautiful.  I hope the Devs decide to post all of the submissions, not just the ones they’ve chosen).

—

The Devs went into the changes coming for Version 1.34 (which should be released in a few weeks).  Upcoming changes will include:  more new Conquest levels, Damage Vs Titan Skills will be removed and retroactively changed, the cost to refresh your Neutral Lands will be changed from Food/Corn to Gold, new 4* Economy Relics will be added to the game, all Troop Training times will be reduced, and the “small Garrison map” that players have on their Castles at high Levels will be removed from the game.

XXXXX

NEXT TWO WEEKS:

MONDAY, AUGUST 19:  There will be another TITANS UNLEASHED Event (also known as a TITAN FUSION EVENT).  It will be Paladin themed, but remember - ALL “same-class to same-class” Fusion provides the SAME boost to gained Titan XP.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 20:  There will be a new midweek Event type happening in the game.  It will be called “ASSAULT”, and Matt said it would be “more casual than other Event types”.  The Devs wouldn’t go into much detail, but they said it would be “something very special” and “something exciting”.  (ALSO:  

ALSO TUESDAY, AUGUST 20:  Next week’s LiveStream will take place a day early - on TUESDAY instead of WEDNESDAY.  (NOTE:  I will post the Recap a day early, as well).

THURSDAY, AUGUST 22:  There will be a Temple Event.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 23 until TUESDAY, AUGUST 27:  Another Leaderboard Event will take place.  This one will feature the return of CERBERUS, the Omega Archer Summoner.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 27:  A “Daily Event” will take place.  (Daily Events are usually very small - discounts on Neutral Lands, etc).

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28:  There will be an “Altar Of Plenty” Event at the Temple.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 30:  A CONQUEST Event will begin.
