[2021] Dauntless | Patch 1.5.2

We got you.

It's just an extra spooky looking one :D

Regarding aetherspark reduction:

We noticed that many players are gaining an excess of the currency. By the time players are ready to reforge, they have much more than they need. In order to keep the economy healthy and not completely flooded with sparks, we have reduced the amount.

Yes, aethersparks are a premium currency so we want to make sure that they have a sense of value. If players are getting more than they spend, they don't serve a purpose at all.

That being said, the goal is to always allow players to take their time and collect them for free as well. This is just tuning to make sure that the economy is working as intended.

Hey! So the purpose here is to tweak the intake of aethershards so that it doesn't exceed the output. The reason is to make sure that this currency has value.

Yes, it is a premium currency, but the goal was/is to allow players to collect it on their own for free (even if it takes a bit longer). We see this as an optional purchase that allows players to progress faster if they want.

Bottom line, if we left it as is, aethershards would be worthless, which isn't their intended purpose.

We're not trying to hide this fact, to be honest. Aethershards were always intended to have a monetary value and the current tuning was making them near worthless.

Our game is f2p and that means that there will always be avenues for paying players if they so desire, and we strive to make these avenues completely optional.

Hope you understand :)

Note: Burndown cosmetics will also be in the Vault for players who do not want to purchase the Event Pass!
