Defenders!
Happy New Year! May this year bring you lots of awesome, fun, and positive events. We wish you many merry and kind moments. Never lose your hope! Remember: each situation has a way out — you just need to see it!
To celebrate the occasion, we want to gladden you with a lovely gift :) Simply enter the game and receive through the mail three days of premium and 2020 hollies that you can spend in our current event!
As we approach the new year, we decided to briefly sum up the previous year and recollect the most important in-game events of the last 12 months. And we have a lot to recollect since 2019 was of great importance for Defenders 2 — the project had never undergone so many changes.
You faced the first significant changes in March — this is when we introduced the merging of runes and gave you a possibility to upgrade your magic in battle. Today it's even hard to imagine that there were times when the feature didn't exist. 7-star runes have become a much more achievable goal, and spells have had a greater impact ever since.
Almost all spring we worked on a completely new for Defenders 2 type of towers and we were happy to introduce it at the end of May. Of course, we are talking about flying towers! Our aim was to give you an unusual gaming experience and we do hope that we succeeded. Just think about League Sky Eye that can move around the battlefield! :)
But that was not the only interesting new feature that May brought. Along with the flying towers, we introduced the events that now are well-known to you. Back then it was an experiment. We didn't know how you would react but it turned out to be successful. Events have gained immense popularity among the players since they allow you to get a lot of awesome and often exclusive prizes.
Yet the most important part was that the players started helping us to form the events. Owing to your feedback, each successive event became more interesting in terms of rewards while the interface became more convenient. Thank you. You are breathtaking! ;)
Something truly unexpected happened in mid-July — we completely redid the system of Heroes. From bonuses, hidden somewhere on the ship, they turned into full-value cards that you can upgrade, evolve, sell, and hire. At the same time, we introduced 14 new Heroes with unique abilities and increased the number of slots for characters. All of this opened the door for new battle tactics and decks.
In August we presented premium subscription that kept the former bonuses but granted plenty of new — bonuses for XP, silver, and essences as well as double rewards and, of course, x4 speed. Additionally, with premium it became easier to complete event quests.
October turned out to be the hottest month for Defenders 2. In October we released three whole updates, and these updates were really special! We added in-game chat so that players could easily communicate. We changed the system of daily rewards — the prizes became more interesting, diverse and relevant. Moreover, the game acquired a convenient calendar where you can always check which rewards you already got and which are yet to claim.
Last but not least, we prepared a Halloween update that brought cards of a completely new rarity — mythic cards! We tried to make them thrilling in both visual and gameplay aspects. What's more, mythic cards were the impulse that brought PVP rating to life, making the battle much more energetic.
We don't conceal it: we added the new rarity for high-level players in particular, especially for those who've been playing Defenders 2 for several years. A whole new wonderful world of Praya is revealing itself to new players — the world with a great number of towers, spells, and Heroes. But many old-timers already have it all. We hope that mythic cards became a pleasant gift for you, dear veteran defenders :)
In the November update, we carried out the most significant and interesting suggestions from the players. We introduced card multisell — probably, there is no need to explain why it's awesome ;) Besides, we added the TASK icon to the cards you have tasks for. Also, there were other, less global but useful changes.
And just a couple of days ago a fresh New Year update was released. The most prominent change was the reworked system of rewards. With its help, we want to equalize all game modes so that when choosing an arena, players would think about their preferences in the first place, not the trophies! Surely, we will continue to balance the system and will follow your comments.
That's how rich and diverse 2019 turned out to be for Defenders 2!
And there is plenty of interesting and important changes ahead. For instance, your own castles that will open a new tactical level in the game. Yes, the work is in full swing now!
As for other updates, we will keep them to ourselves for now to not spoil the surprise ;)
Happy holidays, defenders!
