QUESTIONS and ANSWERS:

Question (Q) from a Player:  Can you turn Maidens into Elves that throw Snowballs for Christmas time?
Answer (A) from a Developer:  That sounds really cool, but I’m not sure we could do it in time..

Q:  When is the Titan from the “Design A Titan” contest (Baba Yaga) coming out?
A:  Sometime after the New Year.

Q:  What happened to the Alliance Conquest Event you guys were talking about?
A:  We were looking into doing that, but there were some issues with how the prizes would be awarded.

Q:  Fix the chat!
A:  We have a fix coming in Version 1.36.  Sorry about that, we know it’s annoying.

Q:  Can we get a “Pick Your 5* Relic Event”?
A:  We are looking at how to improve the Altars in general.  Maybe making a rotation or something like that, or just doing a few, or reduce the pool size.  We haven’t got any news at the moment, but we are going to be doing some changes to the Altars.  Not sure when, and most of it’s just discussion at the moment.

Q:  Can you tell us what you’re going to be doing with the Eternal Shrine?
A:  It will just be a small change, and we can’t tell you much right now - but it will be a part of our Anniversary Celebration Event, sometime around December 8.  It will be something small - nothing major, so don’t get TOO excited.  But it will be something nice.

Q:  What happened to the new Adventurer’s Guild missions?
A:  We thought we had everything working, but we found an issue with it.  We were hoping it would be in v1.35, but now it looks like it will debut in v1.36.

Q:  Berserker & Infiltrator Titans are freezing during battles.
A:  We thought we had it all fixed, but we will check it out.

Q:  We love the new Relic Forging system.  PLEASE do the same for Titans!
A:  (NOTE:  This was a long and winding answer, but the short version seems to be:  We’re going to reduce the food cost, but not increase the number of Titans you can Fuse away at once.  At least not right now.  We will eventually, but we have other things we’re working on right now).

Q:  We want a 4* Runa!
A:  Matt and Dom:  “Ohhhhhhh!”  Dom:  “Runa took an arrow.  Severely injured.  Runa is done!”  Matt:  “Is she?”  Dom:  “Maybe?  I don’t know”.  Matt:  “Yeah, maybe - I don’t know”.

Q:  (NOTE from SteelSpine:  I’m combing multiple questions here, since they are all related):  Can you change the skills of Dragonslayer?  It’s terrible.  In fact, all of the old 5* Relics are a bit outdated.  Can you please update them?
A:  Matt:  “Is (Dragonslayer) the original 5* Guardian?  I don’t remember”.  Yeah, we understand that compared to the new ones the old 5* Relics are a bit out of sync.  We probably won’t make a massive change to them, but we will probably go back at some point and update the values (percentages, etc).  Obviously if we do that it will be retroactive, so any 5*s you already have will be updated too.  We might just look at all of the 5* Relics across the board and see what we can do with them.

Q:  Can we pick our own Garrison’s pre-stationed Troops?
A:  Probably not soon, no.

Q:  We need more time to collect Titans and Relics from the Treasury.
A:  Matt: “Is it seven days?”  (NOTE, in case the Devs read this:  It IS 7 days for EVENT Rewards, but it’s only TWO days for battle drops.  This should be increased to seven days for ALL Treasury items - especially after the recent Inventory changes.  *Please* look into it).

Q:  When is a new 5* Berserker Relic coming?
A:  The new Paladin and Berserker 5* Relics are coming in Version 1.36.

Q:  PLEASE remove 3* Relics from the Divine Altar!
A:  Matt:  “We probably won’t be doing that, to be honest.  We do want to have a lower value Divine Gem Altar so that players who only do parts of the Events can still save up and interact with that feature”.  (NOTE:  This answer completely misses the point.  It’s AWFUL getting a 3* Relic after saving up DGs for 2-3 weeks, or after using the DGs from an Event.  Having the 500 DG Altar only give 4* and 5* Relics wouldn’t be game breaking - it just wouldn’t be a punch in the face anymore like it currently is).

Q:  Any chance of picking our own three Titans in Assault Events?
A:  No, it’s going to remain random across the Levels.

Q:  Can we send Spells as reinforcements?
A:  No, that just wouldn’t work.  We’d have to redesign the entire reinforcements feature.

Q:  Can we PLEASE get a delete button in the Treasury for Spells and Troops?
A:  (NOTE:  The Devs did not answer this at all - they just moved on to the next question.  Hopefully they’ll add this feature soon.  It is sorely needed.  Having to delete Spells and Troops from your inventory - just to collect Spells and Troops from your Treasury and delete them AGAIN - is pointless).

Q:  Devs, can one of you take over the “SPP Program” (the program for YouTubers that helps allow them access to new Relics and Titans for video making purposes)?
A:  Matt:  “Apart from sometimes talking to people and calls, I’m not really a part of that whole structure - that team - um, so we’ll see”.  (NOTE:  Not really an answer here.  Hope they look into it).

Q:  Please give Grenadiers a faster firing rate.  They are slow to react.
A:  We’ve made meta changes before, so we’ll look at what we can do to help Grenadiers.

OTHER INFO:

The Devs mentioned - again - that they’re planning on updating the battle drops to include the missing Resistance variants for Kite Shields, Holy Guards, etc.  Matt said he hopes to update the drop pool “either Friday or Monday”.

Matt also mentioned that we “may” see a 4* Ice Guardian at some point this year.


For those who aren’t in Legends League, you may have heard about the “epic war” going on up there this week.  It’s absolute insanity - at one point or another, most of the Alliances in the Top 10 have been shaved.  Victory Points are at a premium, with non-bonus Lands being capped or raided constantly.  Garrisons far away from the front lines are being burned at an astonishing rate.  It’s been a hell of a sight to behold.  As of 2:00 pm EST today, the standings were:  PraeBeasts0ZM in first place, followed by:  2. Fight Club, 3. LeagueOfGods, 4. 4ECTb (“Honor”), 5. Ancient Gods, 6. War Gods, 7. One Vision, and 8. KyLaK/Kulak (“Fist”).  Good fighting, everybody!  It’s nice to see some action back in the upper reaches of the game.  Best of luck for the rest of the week.  :-)


ATTENTION PLAYERS WITH THE “RSS BUG”:  It was recently brought to my attention that if your Gold or Food passes approximately 2,147,483,647 it will be reset to zero.  This probably doesn’t effect many players - and I am IN NO WAY condoning or promoting cheating or hacking - but for those players who had the Resources Bug happen to them accidentally and may be approaching the upper limit, I felt it was my duty to warn you ahead of time.  (The reason the number is so oddly specific is because it is an “upper limit” associated with 32-bit computing.  You’ll find this same number time and time again in other games, such as GTA V).


REMINDER:  Bone Dreg Castle Quests will have their rewards changed to 25 Gems each on FRIDAY, so make sure you finish up any remaining quests that you’d like to complete before then.

NEXT 2 WEEKS:

MONDAY, 11/11:  Individual Leaderboard Relic Event.  There will be a new Relic in it called “STORM CHARMS”, which will be the Lightning version of the 4* EARTH CHARMS from this week’s Urkon Event.  Also available in this Event will be 4* Lubu’s Crown, 4* Storm Potion and 4* Viking Helm.  Individual Ranking Rewards will include Divine Gems for the top players.

WEDNESDAY, 13/11:  Kingdom Rush Event (discount on Neutral Lands).

THURSDAY, 14/11:  Another Leaderboard Event begins.  The Devs said it would be “Helga’s Sister, according to Dawn of Titans Lore”.  (Note from SteelSpine:  The Devs didn’t give any more hints, but since the Relic Event on November 11 is Lightning-themed I think it’s pretty reasonable to assume that next week’s Event will also be Lightning-themed).


MONDAY, 18/11:  Construction Frenzy Event.

TUESDAY, 19/11:  An Altar Event.

THURSDAY, 21/11:  Another Leaderboard Event.  The Devs dropped a hint and said it would be “the next Pantheon Titan”.  Matt said if you look at DoT’s monthly Calendar Post (on social media), “you should know what it is”.
