Hello again, friends.

How time flies. It seems like only yesterday that I put pen to paper for the August Producer's Letter. Yet, here we are at the beginning of September. Summer is waning with Autumn looming (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), and School is back in session. So to, it is time for another update about Arcane Legends development.


Planar Arena:
In August we opened up the coming Planar Arena revamp to play in the Public Test Server for the first time. We had great test participation and received a lot of good feedback. We are in the final stages of submitting the new app version to Apple. I expect this content to go live in the near future.

As a reminder, when the new Planar Arena goes live the current Leaderboard season will come to an end. More at: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?171458-Heads-Up!-The-Current-Leaderboard-Season-Comes-to-A-Close-Soon!


Planar Tombs:
The 2nd half of our new free planar elite end-game content comes in a revisit to the Tombs format. If you have ever played the Watcher’s Tombs, you will know what I mean. I think our Art Team has done a great job with the new environments for the Planar Tombs. Take a look at the screenshots below and reply with your thoughts.

Halloween:
I know it isn't October yet, but I am really excited with what we have cooking for 2014's Halloween Event. The Dev Team is hard at work on more fun, free content for you!

We'll have more details next month :D


Next client:
Besides all of the above, we are also cranking on the next version of Arcane Legends that will follow after the Planar Arena version. This is a pretty quick turnaround, but we still have some unique and beneficial features coming. Two features planned for this next version include:

• Guild Log:
I mentioned this feature in the last Face Time with Spacetime. This feature needed some more tweaking to ensure the best player experience, so it will instead be coming out in this next version that will follow after the Planar Arena. The Guild Log will provide Guilds with tools to see when members come and go, who does the kicking, etc.

• Tradeable Respec Scrolls:
Currently, you need Platinum to respec your Skills and Stats. In this coming new version of Arcane Legends, you will be able to buy a Scroll that will enable a respec. These new Respec Scrolls will be tradeable, so you could buy one from other players for gold.


Skills:
As a final note, I want to say that we are still working on enhancements to the skill point system. As we mentioned after the Dragon Enclave launched (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?140017-Regarding-the-Current-Arcane-Legends-Skill-System), our goal is to make the addition of higher levels more complex and compelling. This is a big endeavor and we are still working on this system, but look out for a post calling for feedback soon. (edit: The feedback post is up at http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?173489-Arcane-Legends-Skill-System-Feedback-Wanted!)

We will follow with more details as we get closer to that new version going live (which is still a ways out).

I hope you have an awesome September!

Yes

[Zynzyn]

Thats some exciting bit of info. Always enjoyable to read about whats coming. Looking forward to Planar arena and the Halloween goodies. The Guild - Log will be very useful to guilds and is a nice move from sts. I am sure lots of us would also appreciate the respec scrolls. Thank you. :)

[Alhuntrazeck]

Love how a mage is featured in the screenie :D

[Angsakitdiba]

What are the possibly loot in each tomb?weapon?egg?gear etc.

Very Excied about this :)

[-no]

Awesome, respec via gold.

Looking forward to these events, each one has been fun, and a gold maker.

[Vvards]

Hope you'd consider implementing the seasonal lb with this update, that would be a welcome change, and how about coming up with a solution to those dummy farmers plaguing the current lb :)

[Vvcaleb]

I would like to see the Halloween event plans is there gonna be the whole energy thing again like the previous events I didn't like that.

[beezulbulb]

Sam, what about the bulwark? It was announced by Devs that it was going to be revised after the test server was finished. We have been chomping at the bit waiting for the fix , especially after being "teased" with a buff added during the test server. Appreciate any input from you on this topic. Thanks! !!

[LordRaptor]

This is good xD

[YouDoom]

when?

[joydhillon]

Running out of patience really. Excitment turns into frustration. >:(
Launch it already

Im excited to the Planar Tombs and Halloween Event! ^_^

Thank You STS for making AL better and best...

[Ceieder]

I really like the updates but it seems that inflation plays a huge burden in the game. Making it a much less enjoyable experience along with loot prices dropping drastically. Also I've been having horrific ping spikes along with everyone else in my parties. Maybe you could expand your servers. There's so much traffic in the game all I do is DC or die a lot.. Thanks!

[Magegrimm]

Thanks Sam keep up the good work :D

[nanas_nakal]

I can't get into the game

[Anakeobal]

After update the game is not playable.......when I start it says al server is on update

arena is ok. but bosses very strong and some bosses very+ strong. 600+ dmg 3 rog + 1 arc maul war cool for some bosses. this area good for players or sts ? because we must use anhk if want kill bosses. ok we kill bosses maybe use 5 or 6 or 10 anhk but drop is not good. why dont drop 1 good item every tour?
usually if kill elit bosses in map drop elit box or 1 item. arena loot very bad maybe use lot pots + anhk etc but no loot. green or blue items.
i hear new arena i hope for new items etc but only we lost golds or plats.

maybe new arena good only for sts not good for players. very hard maps everytime drop very good items. ty for new arena but if dont drop good loot for players maybe dont like others.
1 time 3 players re roll but all drop green and blue. i use elixir make re roll but item = 5 golds.

please change drop rate or good loot for players fun and golds or maybe dont like this.for exmp i buy myth bow level 41 (21m) + perf fang (700k) + myth ring (2m) helm armor myth pet 5m 10m+ and in arena 1 hit die use anhk but drop 5$

maybe now understand me idk. but this system only good for sts not good for players. ty for new arena.

ps: if dont understand me,i am sorry for my english language,

[nanas_nakal]

Idk if its realy that hard, but i think it's kinda hard, i mean a single hit kill for a myth set roque i mean c'mon guys its even unfair using ankhs, hiw many do u expect us to spent

[letme.dothis.1]

Thumbs up for the cool arena....but no good in terms of boss...warrior 6k or 7k hp dead in what 2 to 3 hits...how much more for mage with 3k or 4k hp...we play for farm but it's no fun dude whenever we die with a single hit....

[Fiayalia]

Awesome! Can't wait..

[wwwgagacomtr]

good job for speedy plat selling :))) wonderfull idea for sts but dont good for players :) look auc 75k ankh and dont stay in auc every players buy maybe 5 kit 10 kit for kill bosses :))) if u have 15k hp not important for boss make 1 hit this arena :)
if we kill easy when sell all ankh :))) try kill 3 or 4 boss maybe drop 1 box but maybeee :)

[jameszxcss]

Me neither, I use google account and I get stuck at authenticating screen...

[Ansm]

I use google in my main acc and the 'loading' thing is fine. But when I use my twink in email it got stucked up at authenticating. I guess its not because of my WiFi because its fast. :/ hmm.

[Chrisaetoshawker]

Guild log:
And who does the inviting as well please!

[wwwgagacomtr]

today have problem if want play android. i try all days but last loading screen waiting. i try 3g and try wifi but same. after i clear all old files in my phone and dont fix. yesterday same problem in chrome browser.

Has anyone noticed that the 2 daily quest "mini boss" Spirit of Ulfgang and Spirit of has not drop anything after the update?
They just dissapear (kill counts) but no loot.

Hello again, friends.

How time flies. It seems like only yesterday that I put pen to paper for the August Producer's Letter. Yet, here we are at the beginning of September. Summer is waning with Autumn looming (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), and School is back in session. So to, it is time for another update about Arcane Legends development.


Planar Arena:
In August we opened up the coming Planar Arena revamp to play in the Public Test Server for the first time. We had great test participation and received a lot of good feedback. We are in the final stages of submitting the new app version to Apple. I expect this content to go live in the near future.
