We added to the game a new acceleration function, Wired Reflexes. You can find it under Misc - Acceleration. It gives a huge comfort function to premium members. With this function, Whenever you improve a skill or a specialized ability, train or heal a pet, use magical regeneration, squeeze a monster or build a building, you don't have to mind boost the corresponding skill manually, you will do this automatically. See more details under Acceleration.

We added Pawn of Loyalty available under the Relics button (bottom left of menu). If you purchased this item in the auction house for golden ducats in the past 60 days and would like to buy it for ancient stones instead of golden ducats, please write an email to us with your character name and world.

We redesigned the character page. Split it into character page and inventory. The inventory you can also access by clicking the chest button next to your portrait. You can quickly change equipped items on your character page by left-clicking them. We also added quick buttons to the top of the page for premium members to easily change dresses and drink potions. On the inventory page, we separated focus crystals to more sub-categories for easier handle, and highlighted equipped items with yellow.

Based on player feedback, we changed things in the Temple of Doom. Please note that task changes take effect only when you get your next temple (except for 6. and 7.)!
1.) "Increase skill A by 3" tasks have been changed to "Increase either skill A or B by 3". This way you will get less such tasks in a given temple, and you can choose which skills to improve. You can complete it by improving skill A by 2 and skill B by 1.
2.) "Use the simulation on the Duel page 5 times" task have been changed to "Use the simulation on the Duel page 5 times or change your specialization for ancient stones!".
3.) "Use the strong bones AA ability twice" task have been changed to "Use the strong bones twice or increase the entity hunt twice (AA abilities)!"
4.) "Win 3 duels you initiate against a doomlord with whom you are at war" task have been changed to "Win 3 duels you initiate against a doomlord with whom you are at war OR spend all your duel points!"
5.) If the temple time expires, and there are rewards which you forgot to claim (either bags or main reward) you get these rewards automatically.
6.) The "collect X golden ducats in the auction house" task have been maximalized in 80 (already from this temple).
7.) The bid for at least 300 golden ducats task have been changed to bid for at least 100 golden ducats! (already from this temple).

Players who are in the top 50 and has a multiplier to XP, also receive more burnt-out ancient stones when leveling up.

We hope that you like these changes.

Thank you! Yes main goal was to save scrolling and clicks, and make the game more comfortable and look nicer. We have some other features added with todays patch to, I'm still working on a complete list which I will post soon.

If you are invisible, you get only 0.5 event point per hunt.

Sorry for the inconvenience, we are going to correct this. Please, if this happened to you, write an email to
info{kukk}doomlord{ponty}net
with your character name, world and clan, and will correct it for you.

Dear Trackur,
It's just mathematics.
Let's say we roll with a dice 18 times. You would expect that you will roll 3 x 1, 3 x 2, 3 x 3 etc. But that is not the case. There will be numbers you roll more and some you will roll less. It is quite possible, that out of 18 rolls, there will be a number which you never roll:
There is 5/6 chance that you do not roll 1 on first roll, 5/6 that you do not roll on 2nd, etc. so it is 5/6*5/6*...*5/6= 3.7% chance that you do not roll 1 out of 18 rolls.
Same for 2s, 3s. etc, so there is 6*3.7% = 22.2% chance that out of 18 rolls there will be a number you don't roll at all. (Ok, this is a bit simplified, because there are cases which we counted multiple times, like when you roll no 1s neither 2s, so the chance is a bit less).

About essences. Following the above example, If you got 15 essences of the same group, there is 17.5% chance that you do not find one specific. With 20, the chance is only 5.5%.

Also I found the program code for you which chooses the essence to be found:



As you see, there is no distinction between rare and common, its just a plain random with equal chances.

The good news is, if you continue collecting the essences, eventually you will have them. I'm sorry for your bad luck, and I hope you will get the essences you need soon.

Hi Trackur,
We never changed essence drop rates since we introduced the Alchemy lab. Each group has 5 basic essences, there are no common or rare essences, each has the same chance to drop. I'm very sorry to hear you were unlucky with finding some. We are planning to add a way to help people with extremely bad luck, adding and effect which can convert essences.
Please ask around in the game, you will see that the essences you consider rare, is the essence of which others have a huge surplus. It's just luck. And eventually, you will find the missing essences.

MB = mind boost, okay Yes you are right, you could have saved some SE this way, but you also would have to MB around a lot, a lot of extra clicks, with many chances to make mistakes.

About the 25 million, we spent a lot of time calculating these numbers, and already run several lvl 60 worlds with these stats, and players (very experienced ones!) were perfectly satisfied with it. It is true that with a lot of time invested, with a lot of experience and great play you can have more than 25M SE in your character by lvl 60. But 95% of the players will have much less. So this is a good opportunity for newbies to start off with a good character, without early mistakes.

Dolp13, when you have 40M SE built, that includes manaconstruction, and SE building counts with a decent multiplier compared to what you actually spent. So that 40M can be just a few million actual SE, certainly much less than 25

Yes, you start off with 20 stat points, and 0 luck as far as I know.
About the treasure chest, you join a clan, and in just a few days, you get epic monument up. Then you open the chest, get the two relics which give you specialization and transplantation bonus, and you improve abilities skills with the help of those from that point on.
Clans start off with zero building. But at level 60, building will go pretty fast.

Cruel, about the 200 AS transfer cost. You play for 2 months, and after that 2 months, you will be able to decide if your character is so good that it worth being transferred. So you don't have to decide about this right when you start. But there are plenty of categories, anyone who starts on this server and plays well will have a good chance for free transfer.

It is posted for 5th of August, and the red warning message appears only 2 days before the championship. But yes I see no message either, I tell the programmer.

It lasts for 2 months.

Idézet: Cruel01 - 2012.08.02. 02:12:07
I don't understand this question. What is MB? Forcing? Would you like to improve all your abilities and skills for double cost? When you build your character, these are the skills you max out first. This is only a comfort function, saves you some click, and saves less experienced players to make the most fatal mistake.

Idézet: Cruel01 - 2012.08.02. 02:12:07
Read more carefully. The 500 AS is at W4 currency. It is actually only 200 AS. Please also note that the top 3 of each category transfers for free! Play well and you don't have to spend anything. For the rest, well, if you start playing and developing a character from level 1, and want to make such a powerful character you can build this way (25M SE at lvl 60 is hellish lot) then you would spend a LOT more. So it is actually hilarously cheap

I'm sorry it seems the automated cron posting the championship failed somehow. Tomorrow morning we will post the championship.
Also I will make sure we debug why it fails sometimes, and will manually check for the coming weeks if it is posted or not.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Dear dodo888, I checked your character, currently you have a multiplier of 1.36 to the XP you need to level up. Since you are 29th, this seems to be correct, also the 54599 seems about correct as well (you have deep learning, right?)
I don't know why you needed slightly more XP for the previous level. When this new system was introduced, there was a slight confusion with Crystal Horde, maybe it was the reason.
Please keep an eye on your xp when you level up, and if you see anything weird with the lvl 96 requirement, get in touch with me!
Thank you.

Dear Diabolik,
I think the problem can come from that you very quickly initiate multiple battles at the same time, opening several windows with the middle wheel button. Our game has some protection measures against this, but due to the nature how the database works we can't eliminate this entirely. To avoid this in the future, I recommend that you initiate one duel at a time, or at least wait a few seconds between duels.
You can share a battle in the combat log with the green share button (but you need to be a premium member to use this function). If it is unavailable to you, you can just note down the link of the combat when you open the battle in previous battles, or make a screenshot of it and attach to the mail you send to us.
Right now, I recommend that you make a list of how much SE you lost, send it in email to our CS to the above address along with your character name and world, and our GM will help you. Even when the battle is not available she can check it from logs but it is pretty difficult to find when you dont have the link or the number of the battle, but we will still help you.

Guys, I started to write a long post, replying in detail to Sbart, Cruel and Kalann.
But actually, Sbarts final summary post is perfect, I got to the same conclusion, so I deleted it all. It is just ok as you say, we will do it.
Only one thing remains for discussion, rewards.

I do not want to differentiate it on the number of tasks (will set a minimum of 6 for tasks for epic anyway).
So based on what you say, I suggest this:
1 non-AS rolls on WoF, 1 luck coupon, 1 temple crystal and 1 adventure cystal.

A number of adventure crystals can be exchanged for a reward of choice like temple crystals. I'm open to suggestions.

Also I liked the name Epic Adventure, we can stick to this if you don't mind

Sacrosanct, I checked your character, you have minus 53 bad luck points. You mentioned you rolled 2 red earlier, the bad luck point system was applied retroactively, so if those reds you won were some super-rare stuff that might have been some points. But no worries this does not reduce your chance to win, you just dont have an increased chance.
PS. I checked the full log, I see here a quiz medal, an ultra-implant, a relic coupon, its not that bad

Hi, yes this can happen if you repeated DD attacks very fast. But no worries, DD points goes down to -1, and you have to spend the 4 hour to regenerate it back to 0 so you got no unfair advantage.

Hey Diabolik, to help you, I need information, like your character name, the world you play on, and the links of the shared battles or screenshots of what happened. Please also note the very first post of this topic:

Idézet: Kocos - 2009.07.15. 14:57:12

Of course I'm here on the forum and try to help as well when I can, but the fastest and most efficient way of getting support is direct mail, with all the above information.

Phaedrus, Dolp13 is right. We are aware that the temple's war quest is quite difficult to complete during the event. We are adding an alternate way to complete that task very soon.

Nice summary, thank you! But the most important question remains: what are these epic adventures? The same adventures we already have? I see a difficulty there how to add extra tasks to the existing adventures while keeping the story intact. Or write new, special epic adventures? That's a lot of work and would certainly hinder this development.

What I suggest, keep the current adventures, and do not add extra tests: simply make it's tests harder as you said. Also we have to make sure only adventures with at least 5-6 tasks can be epic adventures. And maybe add the same extra task to each, where you roll a luck test to see if you can find treasure.

That is correct, currently the only way to get mithril is via coupons, you can get maximum platinum in the event (if you have already gold and would win gold again).

Dear Sbart, thank you for the bug report, I checked the database and I see the problem, I already corrected it, hopefully it will work now.

Dear Meeson, the reason why players can't quit and/or join the event while it is running because there would be multiple ways to exploit this possibility. I'm very sorry but we can't make an exception, because if we allow one player to drop out or join, then we have to allow it to everyone. But please note that if you have no time to play, it doesn't really matter if your are inactive as a participant or as a non-participant. If you do not want harrasment from attackers because you are not at the computer, you can even choose to hide in the catacombs. Besides that, we would be happy to hear your opinion on the event, why it can be disadvantageous for an inactive player to participate, so we can use this information in the future optimizing of the event, we are looking forward to receive your suggestions to the above email address. Thank you!
