New card in the Plarium Points Program
We’ve added a new card to the Plarium Points Program - the Warm-up Card. This new Card has been designed to offer rewards that are easy to obtain and will help prepare players for everything else in-game. The rewards in this Card include an Epic Dwarf Champion, Morag Bronzelock, and other useful items.
Live Arena Improvements
We have added a new Live Arena Quest, “Live Arena Daily Wins”, which will reward players when they win 1, 3, and 5 Battles. There is also a new Advanced Quest, “Win 1 Live Arena Battle”, that will replace current Arena Quests for players who are level 60 and above. Matchmaking for newer players has also been adjusted to make starting this PvP mode smoother.
The Live Arena schedule has also been expanded:
- 00:00 - 03:00 UTC
- 06:00 - 09:00 UTC
- 13:00 - 16:00 UTC
- 19:00 - 22:00 UTC
Expanded conditions for receiving Siege rewards
Now, if a Clan destroys a Stronghold or a Mana Shrine, or if a Clan’s Stronghold or Mana Shrines remain intact at the end of the Battle Phase, all Clan Members who have set at least 1 Defense Team, won at least 1 ATK battle, or captured at least 1 enemy Team Slot during the current Siege will receive a Mana Orb reward. If a Clan has won a Siege, then each Clan Member who has set at least 1 Defense Team, won at least 1 ATK battle, or captured at least 1 enemy Team Slot during the current Siege will receive a Victory Chest. The same conditions apply to receiving Milestone Rewards, as well as Florins for defending a Team Slot, defeating an enemy team, or capturing an empty enemy Team Slot.
Reduced cost of repairing Buildings in Siege
We have drastically reduced the cost of repairing the Stronghold, Magic Towers, Defense Towers, and Mana Shrines.
Adjusted Siege ATK Scrolls distribution system
Here is how the Siege ATK Scrolls distribution system will work now: at the start of the Battle Phase, ATK Scrolls are evenly distributed between all Clan Members. If the total number of ATK Scrolls (which is equal to the total number of enemy Team Slots) cannot be divided equally between Clan Members, the remaining ATK Scrolls are given to Clan Members according to their Clan Role’s priority (Clan Leader being the highest priority, followed by Deputies, Lieutenants, and Soldiers being the lowest priority). If there are several Clan Members with the same Role, the ones with higher Team Power will have a higher priority. There are also a total of 5 additional ATK Scrolls given to the Clan and distributed by the same logic.
Siege Victory Medals rebalance
We have changed the number of Victory Medals given to Clans for protecting and destroying the Stronghold and Mana Shrines. Defending the Stronghold and a Mana Shrine will now bring your Clan 1200 and 450 Medals respectively. Destroying an enemy Stronghold and a Mana Shrine will now bring you 1300 and 550 Medals respectively.
New Clan Levels and Clan Shop Expansion
As part of this update, we’re also adding 5 more Clan levels, which all come with the extra Silver for completing Campaign Stages, additional Multi-Battles, and two more slots in the Clan Shop. There are also new resources available in the Clan Shop - Chaos Dust, Chaos Powder, and Artifact Chests that may contain Mythical Rank 6 Killstroke Artifacts!
The Demon Lord reset changes
In order to optimize server traffic, we’ve changed the daily reset time for the Demon Lord to between 10:00 UTC and 11:00 UTC. We’ve also added a new restriction for players moving Clans - you will not be able to fight the Demon Lord for one hour after joining a new Clan.
