Minion Masters!
The second version of our Friend Event is here. This time you’ll get two quests every day; one to play a private battle against a friend, and another to play with a friend as a Premade team on the ladder.
We’ve got some other exciting news for you all this week. We’re announcing our work on a new feature - Frontier Expeditions!
[img=http://forced2.com/mm/expedition.jpg]
In the Expeditions, you will explore new worlds looking for Minions to fight for you - all while playing the modes you already love!
Depending on where you explore, chances of certain Minions increase and you will find different challenges to overcome.
You’ll be able to fuel Expeditions with supplies gained by playing all the regular modes - Battle, Team Battle or Draft.
Check out our blog about Frontier Expeditions for more information!
We wanted to mention that we’re scaling down on how often we’re doing patches in the next period so we can focus on some bigger things like the Expeditions.
Exactly how much is hard to say, so keep an eye out for the teaser :)
Changelog
Balance
- Boomer, Re-boomer and Gax attacks are now all considered “Special” rather than melee --- Developer comments --- As part of our initiative to make things more understandable, we decided to make the boomers not Melee or Ranged, since you wouldn’t expect them to act like either. This affects a few interactions; They no longer gain Rage from Volco’s third perk. (They still do not gain Stormbringer’s second perk) They will not trigger Melee-focused mechanics such as Musketeer parry or Succubus teleport. It’s still an attack, so they still gain extra damage from Rage or attack speed from Frenzy.
Quality of Life
- Tweaked Power Hungry quest wording to say Online Match.
- Clarified message when you had a duplicate chat name to say “within a short time”
- Placement hotkeys no longer show when watching a replay
- Moved the /netstats down a bit so they aren’t obscured by the version label.
- Added special name color and badge to the chat for Tournament winners.
- Tweaked the text on the level 50 reward to say “Arena”
