6.4 UPDATE: LEGENDS REBORN

1000×50 7.35 KB

• Legends Reborn is a 2 week long event that runs in a Kingdom.
• The chosen Kingdom will have an icon on the Kingdom’s name plate on the World Map (similar to when a Quest is available for the Kingdom has bonus Mythstones).
• Legends Reborn can be accessed from 3 places:
  • Games Menu
  • News Menu
  • Kingdom Menu for chosen Kingdom in Legends Reborn – Players who have completed the storyline for the Kingdom that Legends Reborn is happening in will be able to access the event from that Kingdom’s Menu.
• While Legends Reborn is active, players can replay the Kingdom’s Storyline (from the Legends Reborn Menu).
  • Players will not gain the Quest Bonus Income, Unlock Challenges, or Troop rewards that may have been gained when playing the Storyline Quests normally.
  • Players will not be able to replay the Kingdom’s Class Quest.
• The Kingdom Storyline in Legends Reborn will have a starting difficulty of Level 20, and increase in difficulty for each battle played.
• Playthroughs at a higher difficulty will unlock during the event.
  • DIFFICULTY II (Lv 50): Day 3
  • DIFFICULTY III (Lv 80): Day 6
  • DIFFICULTY IV (Lv 110): Day 9
  • DIFFICULTY V (Lv 140): Day 12
• Each playthrough will unlock copies of a special Pet that will buff an Epic Rarity Troop from that Kingdom.
• Also during a Legends Reborn event, players will be able to earn a “Kingdom Collectible” for the event by defeating Enemies of that Kingdom’s primary color (in any game mode, except for Training mode).
• Earning this Kingdom collectible will unlock Reward Tiers for the Legends Reborn event.
• In each Tier there are 4 types of Rewards a player can collect:
  • FREE: These rewards are free to collect, and contain a Pet that will buff a Troop of Ultra-Rare or Lower Rarity.
  • GEM: These rewards can be purchased using Gems, and contain a Pet that will buff a Legendary Rarity Troop, as well as other rewards (including Cursed Gnome bait)
  • CASH: These rewards can be purchased using real money, and contain a Pet that will buff a Mythic Rarity Troop, as well as other rewards (including a Orb of Power).
  • BONUS: These rewards become available if a player collects all the other rewards in the Tier.
• A player cannot collect a reward in a higher tier unless they have collected the matching reward in a lower tier.
  • E.g. Players would need to collect the Tier I Gem Reward before they would be able to collect/purchase the Tier II Gem Reward. There is no need to purchase the Tier I Cash Reward though in order to get the Tier II Gem Reward or the Tier II Free Reward.
• All pets available in Kingdoms Reborn will also be available from Pet Gnomes.
• Legends Reborn does not have a set schedule when it will run (compared to other events like Guild Wars).

(Our first Legends Reborn Event will start at weekly reset on August 1st)

Some platforms are now requiring all games to include in-game account deletion. So players on Steam, iOS and Android will now be able to delete their account from within the game. (We will be looking to bring this feature to Xbox, PlayStation and Switch Players in a future update.)

• In the Settings Menu > Account, players will find a new Delete Account button that will allow them to start the countdown to delete their account.
• Once a player confirms they would like to delete their account, it will start a 20 day timer before the deletion will take place
  • There will be a confirmation screen after the player decides to start the countdown so players are aware it’s active.
  • We have put in a 20 day timer to prevent players from accidentally having their account deleted.
• Players who have started the timer will get a pop up message every time after daily reset reminding them that the deletion countdown is in progress and how many days remain.
• Players can change their mind at any time and just click on the Delete Account button again to stop it.
  • Stopping an account deletion, and then restarting it will reset the countdown back to 20 days.
• After the countdown ends the game will then delete the player’s account from the game server similar to a GDPR request (for those familiar with this). THIS CANNOT BE REVERSED.
  • This will include any purchases that have been made so please make sure before you decide to delete your account.

PLEASE NOTE ONCE AN ACCOUNT IS DELETED IT CANNOT BE RECOVERED.

  • Color (based on the Color the Class gives bonus Magic to)
  • Kingdom
  • Troop Type
  • Talent Tree
• We have added a new Heroic Gem to the game for a future Campaign.
• We have made a change that when a player is banned from chat, it will also prevent them from changing their guild’s message.
• We have rotated around Warbands so that Armored Legion and Entangled Woods have replaced Fire and Fury, and Goblin Gang Warbands.

• We have fixed an issue where the Auto Play Mode button has no functionality when a Gem Storm information popup is invoked.
• We have fixed an issue where some players were seeing the Deep Delve UI with black box around them.
• We have fixed an issue where some players with different aspect ratios were not able to access the button to purchase more Delve Attempts.
• We have fixed an assortment of smaller issues.

Please Note that this update will be available on Steam, iOS, Android, Amazon, Xbox, and PlayStation. Switch will be receiving the update at a future date.

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to let you know the Development Team is currently looking into why 6.4 hasn’t released on Android.

Once I have an update I’ll let you all know!

OminousGMan - Support Human

Hi folks (I’m especially looking at you Android players!)

We’re very sorry the update hasn’t rolled out across Android yet.
It is getting late in the day here in Australia but we have been in contact with our American team so they can assist as well. Fingers crossed by the time I check back here in my morning the update will be available to you too

We’re sorry to anyone who updated on Steam and is now waiting to be able to continue playing on their Android device. I personally prefer playing on my phone so I get it!

We have stopped including balance changes in client updates and instead balance changes have their own updates separate from everything else.

I will let the team know thank you!

I’m very sorry about this, can anyone who is affected please let me know which type of colour blindness you have if you feel comfortable doing so? I will make sure we do another visual accessability pass, but if I can get an idea of which type of colour blindness we may be failing currently I will make sure we pay special attention to that type. We will do another pass regardless so sharing this information with me isn’t necessary, I just want to assist in the best way I can.

I think this was a wording slip up as Jeto did say we would either post it in the patch notes or ahead of time, and the patch notes are currently released when the update goes live, not ahead of time.

Uhh, that was me admitting we messed up… we would like to post some things before updates go live, sometimes we can’t though. In this case, we couldn’t. I guess I could have been more clear in my reply, I also see I didn’t say sorry, so I’m doing that now! - I’m sorry we didn’t post about it ahead of time and I’m sorry for the original wording slip up. I’m also sorry I didn’t include this in my original reply. I sometimes go into problem solving/information sharing mode and forget to be extra mindful of my wording - that’s a me problem I could definitely stand to work on.

We’re investigating different accessability feature options for our other game, so I’d love to also look at what options we have for Gems of War when we have time. I will suggest this to the team, and we’re always happy to take accessability suggestions like this any time!

I couldn’t give you an ETA or any promises about when we will review ideas for a new feature like this, but this is the sort of thing we definitely have on our minds and we would ask for more specific feedback from the community as well when we do get this onto the schedule.

In general though smaller accessability feedback, like changing colours/font etc is easier to slot into the existing schedule which is why it’s always a good time to give us any feedback about this.

We put out a fix for this yesterday, you should definitely notice the difference! We’re also continuining to work on it, so we’re not done yet.

What resolution is that you’re playing in?

All Pets from Legends Reborn will be available for free from Pet Gnomes awhile after the event has ended.

We have a Broken Spire rework in the roadmap, there might be other balance changes this year but I don’t have any ETAs at this stage.

PS. Sorry for my huge walls as I reply to everyone at once

Ah, so, neither of these are actually standard window resolutions. Generally things should look fine if you manually resize your window, but there are some odd graphical issues that can happen if you’re not using a standard window size, particularly, the more you resize to non-standard resolutions, the more funky things get.

I would suggest choosing a window size from the drop down menu in the game settings and that will fix the problems you’re seeing. If you would really prefer the custom window size, you can click and drag the corners of your window out from there, but try to make sure you do it in one movement, and only once. You can always go back to the settings menu to reset to a standard resolution if things start looking odd again.

Hey

Vielen Dank für eure Anregungen und netten Worte!

Ich werde Ihre Ideen mit dem Team teilen

Actually, straight away at the end of the event (I thought it was going to be longer)

I can’t even imagine working for a company and not just saying “You want XYZ because of ABC? NOTED, let me see what we can do about that” when it comes to accessibility. Like hey, your privelage is showing D: I mean there’s stuff that can take awhile or maybe the solution won’t be exactly what was proposed but it still solves the problem, but I would not come back with a dead end “no” answer - it’s not really up for debate.

I do think the games industry is pretty switched on about this stuff, they definitely teach it to artists and designers in game dev school here.
