Today we will bring two new additions to the game: The Collapsible Quest Window and an improved Buff Bar! These two will be followed by another addition tomorrow. Read the whole post to learn more!

Collapsible Quest Window




This adjustment will only be applied to the mobile version of the game.

Instead of having multiple buttons on the left for each type (Story, Recurring, Side and Special Quests; Daily Challenges; Event Quests), there is now only one to access the "Quest Overview". In this overview you can switch between the different types and solve quests as usual.

Improved Buff Bar



With this change, we have done some improvements to the buff bar, and also finally brought it to the app. Gone are the days where you had to go through your long list of buffs. Now, all buffs of the same type are grouped together. Clicking on it, you will see all your current buffs of the same type.

Daily Login Bonus



We plan to activate it tomorrow, provided that there are no issues preventing us from doing so. Please also note, that it will not be activated for every player yet. You can read more about such testing here.

The Daily Login Bonus is exactly what it sounds like: logging in every day will grant you a new rewards! The more days you log in, the better the rewards become. Make sure to not miss a day, otherwise your streak will break and you have to begin again. Log in 28 days in a row to get the most out of it. If you achieve that, you can start collecting the rewards once again!

What do you think about these changes? Tell us your opinion in the feedback thread here!

Sincerely,
Your Forge of Empires Team
