CHANGES TO BOOST RELICS:

The Devs have FINALLY done something about the “Conquest Relic” exploit, which has been allowing Players to enhance their attacking Troop Stats to ridiculous numbers for the last few months.  The following message was posted on the Official DoT Blog today:

“Recent community content, discussion, and feedback highlighted an issue with Conquest and Assault Boost Relics.

It was determined that a small number of players were using various hacks and exploits with these Relics when attacking other players to gain an unfair advantage.

With immediate effect, we have removed the Titan and Troop buffs from Conquest and Assault Boost Relics.

We always strive to ensure that Dawn of Titans is balanced and fair, so we are currently investigating the technical aspects of a longer-term solution. Thank you for your patience, and to the community for bringing this issue to our attention.”

(Note from SteelSpine:  Hopefully the Devs will come up with a more permanent solution for this issue and reinstate the Troop Health and Troop Damage buffs to Conquest and Assault Boost Relics.  They aren’t a huge help to Castle L25 Players, but I would imagine they are immensely helpful for newer Players and Players who don’t have a wide variety of 4* Relics to choose from or who aren’t yet maxed out.  If any more info is posted, I’ll be sure to report it in the Recap).

NEXT TWO WEEKS:

MONDAY, 29 JUNE until TUESDAY, 30 JUNE:  A SPELLCRAFT Event (discount on Spells and Spell Upgrades).

MONDAY, 29 JUNE until THURSDAY, 2 JULY:  A CONQUEST Event featuring the return of POSEIDON will take place.   (Note:  No information was given regarding whether or not Poseidon will be Re-skilled for this Event, but the past few Events that featured returning Greek Gods did NOT have their Skills changed).

THURSDAY, 2 JULY:  Another Leaderboard Event begins.  This one will be called “Resurrection”.  (Note from SteelSpine:  No further details were given, but the name of this Event suggests that it MAY POSSIBLY feature Reskilled Titans - or, as a few Players pointed out to me this week, it could possibly feature the return of Osiris.  This is only speculation on my part, though - we likely won’t know for sure until July 1).

MONDAY, 6 JULY:  A PORTAL SURGE Event (discount on purchasing Portal Stones).

MONDAY, 6 JULY until THURSDAY, 9 JULY:  A RELIC FESTIVAL (Temple Altar Event) will take place.  It will be called “ARTIFACTS OF THE DEAD”.

THURSDAY, 9 JULY:  Another Leaderboard Event begins.  It will be called “THE MISTRESS OF DREAD”.  No further information is available at this time.

Shoutout to “smellypoo”, who informed me that the Staff of Earth was previously available in one Event: an Individual Leaderboard Event back on January 6 called “Earthly Relics”.  (It wasn’t in my notes because that Event took place before the Devs started giving us info for the early week “mini Relic Events” during the weekly LiveStream).  Nice job noticing the error - thanks for the correction!  :-)
