On popular demand, we add the minion crystal pack (daily limit 3) to the soul huckster for the duration of the promotion.

I'm sorry, these items are added not at midnight, but only now, at 10am, I should have added this to the news.

Horde Wars will start as scheduled. Since Horde Wars is now also implemented as a permanent feature (aka clan championships) we wanted to replace it with an entirely new grand event, Pit of Doom. But after a vote on the original servers, it seems players prefer to have one last Horde Wars so they can claim the rewards. So only the next Horde Wars will be replaced by Pit of Doom.

We added the following to the game:
- Faster wheel of fortune roll.
- The pet train confirm window now display the amount of XP your pet will get.
- New clan building: Energy storage, to help players to fill up soul-well 10 times faster and become full members in a reasonable time.
- Added the Fetish of Doom, which can be created from 10 fetish shards.
- New AA abilities:
1. Blessing of troll shaman: increases the efficiency of the Troll Blood, by giving more regeneration.
2. Essence enrichment: further increases the duration of essences.
3. Epic explosion: lets you use explosion vs epic and entity opponents.
4. Perfect memory: displays number of daily attacks on clan championship map.
5. Team spirit: grants +1 XP / level to all of your passive minions for each winning battle.

The auction house items are indeed rare, you can buy only one copy of each item per month or so. I highly doubt there are players who already have all the rare items. Yes, maybe you have several of them, and when you enter the auction house, you don't find anything useful. But just revisit a few days later and you will surely find something of interest.

There is one boost we can do, however. We have a live Doomlord convention we hold every 6 months. There, we have a live auction - with some items which are not in the game. Since players on the English server can't auction there, we could just add these items to the normal auction. I made note of this and forward it for development.

Sorry, this time you can't buy astral stones.

Yes, there will be a summer ancient stone sale, probably at end of June / early July.

On Monday, at 10 am CET (4 am EST) begins our new mini-event, Surface Celebration!
We shall forever remember the heroic battle, where the doomlords chased away the Enemy from our planet. Every year, on the anniversary of this victory, the hordes put aside all enmities, and the ruby, sapphire, emerald and diamond hordes celebrate together. Also these celebrations help us to remember, that we always have to be ready to fight, if the Enemy returns one day...

Also during the event, there is 5% chance to find a victory chest during hunt, duel and challenge. The chest can contain a random item.


Under daily offers, you can buy once per day the surface celebration package, which contains: 2 victory chests, 1 victory emblem.

During the event, the soul-huckster will sell the following items: lesser and greater hunter's loot, subplasma detector.

Very good ideas! The problem is, a new player still must be led thru the game tutorials to learn the basics. (And at that point he is not concerned about finding targets - he is concerned about understanding the game). So maybe just a super-accelerated SE/XP gain for beginners would be enough. Btw we added divine manna for that purpose (but I'm admit it's not so generally accessible to total beginners).

About helping players join large clans, we finished implementing this. Clans will get a new building, energy storage. Full members can store SE into there, and new members who fill up the well get 9 SE from energy storage for each SE they spend. So effectively, we accelerate filling the soul well to 10 times faster.

But NPC clan is a good idea too, I will think about how to implent this. For simplicity, prolly we need only 4 clans, one for each horde, and new players automatically join these.

Ok, I wasnt entirely correct about how the treausre roll works.

Although the original idea was that when you have 3 minions, each with 10% chance, the program will roll 3 times, and as such, you can end up with 0,1,2 or 3 treasure. But it seems in the final version, there are no separate rolls, simple one roll with total chances.
So instead of 3 x 10%, there is one 30% roll. Of course, when the total chance is greater than 100%, you will find 1 treasure for sure, and will have chance to find an additional one.


About the super fetish, this is now under implementation.
The final version is something based on your suggestion. You will be granted multiple active abilities (absorbtion, spell absorption, critical, transdestruction etc) when a minion wears the Fetish of Doom. And this bonus will not be based only on the wearers level, but on the total level of all minions.

Yes, this is intentional. Remember, yellow can help you to get more of the other mytokronits... And yes, they cant be made from relic coupons (yet).

The new relics will show soon (are under translation currently).

They will be relics which increase the amount of mytokronits found. There will be one separately for every color of mytokronits. Each level (bronze, etc) will increase the mytokronits found by 10%.

*** changes 2015 May ***
- The registration closes only 1 week after the event has started.
- Greater spacerift potion will be removed from all players inventory before the event starts, and after week 1 and week 2, so they can buy it again.
- New relics will be added to the reward list.

War of Hucksters will start on schedule, on 21th of May, 10 am CET.

We shall open registration now, and registration will open for 1 week after start, until 28th of May.

We delete greater spacerift potions from players inventories by the start of the event so you can buy it again.

Sorry for not posting these small changes, did it now.

The max. level of entity hunt AA ability has been increased from 25 to 40.
We also added 2 new AA abilities, grey mytokronits (increases chance to find grey mytokronits during hunts for EH users) and red mytokronits (increases chance to find red mytokronits during duels for DD users).
The absorption granted by passive orange minion ability, and magical absorption granted by passive red minion ability has been increased.

As you saw, you can get mytokronits from different events as well, and there were and will be items / skills etc. which increase the amount you find. So I wouldn't say now it will take 3 years to reach level 200

When we design items, we plan for the long term. Minion experience abilities will go up to 100, even 200 or more eventually. So on the long term, this item can even double the xp from minion crystals. Also we don't want to give bigger bonus here because the number of minion crystals acquired by different players can vary greatly, and a too big bonus can generate huge differences.

But this is why there are a variety of rewards, if you think one is not good enough, you can still choose the other.

Ok, I forward these suggestions to the programmer.

Sorry, thats not possible We begin working at 9am, the programmer needs time to launch up everything (sometimes even more). It would be possible to set it to start automatically at midnight - but in that case, if there is any problem, bug, we are not there to resolve it. And the first day we have to be there to monitor if everything is going as planned.
