Forge of Empires Dev Tracker

Dear Kings and Queens,
The Event is almost over, after the last balancing adjustments we got a lot of feedback from you, that you thought our adjustment was too harsh. This is why we decided to do some final adjustments for beta:

• We have increased the Grand Prize Progress from merging with a locked level 4 piece to 2.
• We have increased the Grand prize Progress received from opening a chest to 3-27 (depending on the chest).

We believe that these changes should make it easier now to a point where you can do some mistakes and still receive our intended amount of Grand Prizes.
This change was just done, so you can already see it in the game.

As always, please tell us what you think in the ... Read more

Dear Mergers,

We hope you enjoy our new Event! We know, that some parts can be very tricky, which is why we have decided to share some Tips and Tricks with you to get the most out of the Event! Please note, that these are just hints and suggestions. You don't have to follow them of course.

Merging is limitless​

You can merge 2 pieces as often as you want, however at some point it is not worth it anymore. All piece variants (elements) have 4 levels. You get to a higher level by merging 2 of the same one. However, merging 2 level 4 pieces will result in another level 4 piece. This means, you should only merge level 4 pieces to unlock another level 4 piece, or to combine two key parts into a full key.

Merging with locked pieces provide Grand Prize progress and rewards​

Whenever you merge one piece with a locked one, you receive a reward. You can already see what you will get by first clicking on the locked piece. It ... Read more

This changelog includes the changes from last Friday, as the update did not happen that day.
Browser/General

• We have renamed the "Counselor Package" to "Forge Plus" to prevent confusion about it.
• The Grand prize progress in the Anniversary Event was not visually updated when merging 2 pieces. You still got the progress, but it is now displayed correctly too.
