The Necrolord update has now been out for a week and judging by the player feedback and activity on the Steam discussion boards and Discord, it’s been very well received. There are some minor balance issues and bugs that still need to be ironed out and you can expect a small update next week addressing these.
Like with the previous larger updates, you can expect some smaller ones to follow the Necrolord update, bringing small content additions and changes to the game. As mentioned in the previous update post I’m not entirely happy with how ‘samey’ the current races feel and in the next smaller content update you can expect each race to receive passive effects that can be build enabling/altering. In the updates after that you can expect to see some reworks of older less-used abilities and maybe even a new companion or two?
So, what’s the next -big- thing coming to the game? One of the most frequent pieces of feedback and criticism I’ve received from players is that the small, arena-like environments are too simple and boring and I couldn’t agree more. I’m planning on making the normal Dark Rituals a bit more exciting by adding elements of exploration to them, increasing the map size to match the current Shattered Dark Rituals and maybe even adding a few secrets to be discovered. The plan is to gradually convert all normal rituals into these larger ones and you can expect them to arrive one ritual per update. Bundled with these updates will also be new minor content. If you prefer the smaller arenas, the Arena of Ikar will remain in its current form.
And for those wondering what’s taking so long with achievements and translations, worry not. Both are still coming to the game before it reaches 1.0. The reason why I’m leaving achievements as one of the last things to add is that the game is still constantly changing and I don’t want to add achievements that might later have to be removed or changed, forcing players to complete them again.
Let me know in the comments below which older abilities you’d like to see changed or rebalanced!
