Hey guys, hope you're having a great weekend!
Next week is the new content pack which will bring about the third power to add to your collection, so for this week we've got some fixes and some new items and improvements to make your playthroughs more fun than ever!
I pushed a new fix last weekend to ea-beta and pushed it to everyone a few days ago that came with some improved loading speeds and a big improvement to the reliability of the monster storage system. Your monsters won't get lost anymore and when you open your box, it'll rescue anything you've lost in previous months. I didn't make a post about it then as I was also working on some online fixes that weren't quite ready yet but I felt it was a good time to mention it!
Online battling is now much more reliable and you should be able to have some good fun with it facing off against other tamers, a great place to find a battle is on our discord of course!:
I can promise you there are tamers on there that will send you reeling from the power of their monsters. Some of them have embedded ridiculous power into cute little defense-less Apo packages, absolute sickos! :D
One thing that's come to my attention as well is that even with scouting, it can be very slow to level up new hatchlings and add them to your team, leading people to not get the most out of breeding and avoiding changing their team up. To remedy this, "Ultra Rare Berries" have been added to all the shops beyond Mill Town (didn't want them available too early!).
How do Ultra Rare Berries work? Well they will quarter the difference between your monster's level and your tamer ceritfication cap. For example, if you could level up to level 100, using multiple berries would work like this:
Monster's level after 0 berries: 1
Monster's level after 1 berries: 25
Monster's level after 2 berries: 43
Monster's level after 3 berries: 57
Monster's level after 4 berries: 67
Monster's level after 5 berries: 75
Monster's level after 6 berries: 81
and so on...
so as you can see if you had a tamer ceritifcation level of 100, and had enough cash, you could level a monst from 1 to 81 in two minutes! These berries are incredibly useful but fittingly pricey, $1500 per berry!
I hope that this will bring you a lot more fun of a Monster Crown experience, making breeding new hatchlings and adding them to your team a breeze.
The other new items added: Kroodle Tenders, Shoreyu Sushi and Big Meat, offer signifcant healing power as it can be discouraging to have to heal your very high hp monsters super slowly with Aloe Leaves. Adding these items to your pack makes long, risky journeys more fun to prepare for and without a PP system, a careful planner can survive without returning to civilization for quite some time!
Hope the rest of your weekend goes well, be back on Friday with your next content pack!
