This update is slated for release next week!
New Content
Year of the Snake Content Passss
Curl up and pay attention, for it’s time for a new Lunar New Year content pass! This slithery pass contains some surprisingly scaly stuff, such as blueprints and customizations. Complete tasks and earn Snake Fangs to unlock them!
Players who complete every task in this content pass will receive the Venomous title, but it’s not a blank card to be toxic!
The event will run from January 21st until February 18th.
Snake Pet
If dogs and dragons aren't your style, may we interest you in this extra lengthy companion?
This danger noodle is eager to slither around your shop, and is exclusive to the Year of the Snake content pass!
Lunar New Year Login Calendar
For display purposes only. Not indicative of actual rewards.
It’s time for our yearly red envelopes! Login every day between January 23rd and February 11th to claim rewards!
We’ve also taken this opportunity to significantly revamp our login calendar mechanic. Not only does it look a bit nicer, it also allows for extra flexibility on the player’s part. The event will run for 20 days with 14 rewards available to claim. Only one reward can be claimed per day, but you’ll have some extra wiggle room in case you miss a day or two! Unlike previously, rewards are now claimed in order, so it is no longer possible to skip over and miss a reward by missing a single day.
Year of the Snake Giveaway
Log in at any time during the Login Calendar to receive a free Snake Statue, as well as a skin variant depending on your platform! Nobody’s stopping you from logging in on different platforms to claim them all either. The different platforms are Android, iOS, Epic Games Store, and Steam!
Lantern Festival Giveaway
But wait, there’s more! Login anytime between February 10th and the 14th for another giveaway! The Lantern Pond decoration! It’s pretty big!
Blitz Pass
The Sia and Yami blitz passes are now available for new players.
Major Changes
Guild Member Finder
Following the Guild Finder change a few months back, we’ve now also updated the Guild Member Finder tool. Beyond simply searching for a specific player, it will now also automatically list a few players that the game thinks could be a good match for your current guild. From there, you can send an invitation. There’s no guarantee they’ll accept, though.
Minor Changes
- Increased the character limit for promo codes from 14 to 20.
Optimizations
Another round of optimization has been done. Internal reports show reductions in RAM usage by up to 100 MB on iOS, and up to 200MB on Android and PC. Possible memory leak issues have also been resolved. We still recommend playing on devices with at least 4GB of RAM.
In other news, also optimized other inefficiencies during long play sessions, particularly those that involved trips to the city screen. Something about generating thousands of shoes.
Balance Changes
- All Platinum items now have the Ancestor Spirit as their spirit affinity, replacing the Quetzalcoatl.
- The Silken Assailants blueprint now requires steel rather than ironwood.
- The Owl Wing Wand now has a dual affinity with Water due to its connection with Lilu.
- Slightly increased the value of the Platinum Wand.
- Platinum Wand upgrades now reduce the Platinum Bangle cost by 1.
Webstore Updates
Login and Session Improvements
Improved Login Experience
Some backend improvements have been made to the login process to make it a bit more reliable and communicate errors better. We will continue to look at improving the experience further where possible.
Simultaneous Session Retention
Sessions (i.e. being logged in) can now be retained on up to five clients (devices, browsers, etc.), this should allow you to remain logged in on your phone and PC at the same time for purchases.
Forced Session Invalidation
As an added security option (given the increase to up to five simultaneous sessions mentioned above), you can now force logout of all other existing sessions by using the "Sign in and sign out of all other devices" option when signing into the webstore.
Useful for when you no longer have access to a device you previously granted a longer session retention period to and you want to invalidate it.
Remember Me
By default, the webstore will now only remember your session for 2 hours (this doesn't apply to existing sessions). To increase this session retention period to 30 days simply enable the "Remember me for 30 days" option when signing into the webstore.
King Schedule
I’ll be available as a guest Champion on February 3rd until the 6th!
