Halloween:
The Halloween Event was a pretty fun ride. Playing alongside you, reading your feedback and judging by game metrics, I can see that a lot of fun was had! Big congratulations to Melisaz, Goblin and Ardbeg who topped the Rogue, Sorcerer and Warrior Halloween leaderboards! The Development Team also learned a lot. We did have some rough spots that Halloween scared up. The large upswing in players playing revealed issues that led to some improvements to the game server to accommodate them. We have more work to do to ensure that you have the best play experience possible when you log into Arcane Legends.

Bug Fixing and Refinements:
Beyond the server improvements mentioned above, have a new client version coming to address the Android re-patching problem. We are also looking at ways to further improve chatting to address your feedback with the most recent refinements to chat.

Free Platinum Offers:
October also saw big improvements to Free Platinum Offers, with the introduction of Fyber Offers and return of NativeX Offers. We are committed to bringing our players alternatives to earn Platinum. While availability will always vary by where in the world you play and what platform you play on, we have more quality offers now than we have ever before.

Arcane Legends on Amazon:
I also want to give a shout out to the many new players joining us from their Amazon Kindles™ and Fire Phones™! Arcane Legends recently launched on the Amazon Appstore and we put out an infographic that highlights the game's popularity. Read more here (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/content.php?595-Arcane-Legends-Amazon-Launch-Infographic) and don't forget to get your Amazon promo free gifts! (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?180177-Arcane-Legends-Amazon-Launch!)

So, that is what has been happening. Now, let's talk about the real goodies... what is coming next!

Planar Tombs:
http://www.spacetimestudios.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=102463&d=1409755260

We have a new, end game, elite adventure coming soon, the Planar Tombs! We are planning on rolling out the Planar Tombs to the Public Test Server, that we first used to test the Planar Arena content. We are working toward having the Planar Tombs up on Public Test as early as this weekend (11/7). The Planar Tombs would go live shortly after the Public Test finishes.

One of the fun new things with the Planar Tombs is the addition of a new Mythic rarity Pendant. This Pendant is only craftable after collecting items from Elite Tindirin, the Planar Arena and the Planar Tombs. Once crafted, if you are wearing the new pendant, you have a chance, when taking damage, to have energy motes spawn around you that grant bonuses to you or your teammates if they walk over them.

Look for all the details when the Planar Tombs enters public testing.

Winter Event:
We have another awesome event taking shape for December! Remiem has a suite of sneak peeks and reveal articles planned for this month so don't want to spoil the surprise too much. I'll just leave you with a first look at the new town. This is still work in progress. I think it is missing some snow falling, for example, but it does give you an idea of what's coming.

Face Time with Spacetime:
If you haven't already, be sure to check out the recent Face Time with Spacetime video we put out. It has some great info about what we are up to at Spacetime Games!

I hope you have an awesome November.

first

[heisenberg]

what form have for play test server?

[Firezmz]

100th

[Ssneakykills]

The winter town looks so decent and looking forward to see how the planar tombs shape up

[Zeus]

Is the amulet called Shady & Surge? O.o

-Ralchior

[Chrisgriffin]

Can't wait

[TheBoon]

Whoop! Looks like fun times ahead!

[obee]

This amulet dough! And I hope the test server is not only android

[aarrgggggg]

That new amulet sounds great..... i am just hoping that it is actually attainable for anyone who puts in the work.........

If the drop rate of these ingredients are like vials or fossil in arena it will be very disapointing to me.

Please make it ATTAINABLE

[Typhoid]

Yes, please don't make it impossible to obtain. I will put in the work only if I know I can get something out of it.

[Visiting]

-Ralchior

Ralchior is a nab, go farm him...

[Noctis._.Lucis]

I hope the new mythic pendant crafting style is not hard like Arcane Ring & Nekro Egg.
What I mean HARD is the needed of Vials or Arcane Shard.
Needed a lot of millions @.@

[octavos]

All I can say people please test with medium equipment... not with arcanes/mythics that everyone doesn't have. So we can have an accurate testing....So when I test..its with the stuff thats easily available :) this includes mythic pets. I cant wait to start the farming so i can get back to AL full force.

[Serancha]

Craggy the Hoarder. Bahahahah. Great name!

[Serancha]

I hope the new mythic pendant crafting style is not hard like Arcane Ring & Nekro Egg.

I think you are mixing up hard and expensive. I agree expensive (real dollar expensive) is not cool.

I also agree that the odds of getting the crafting items need to be realistic (as in greater than the fossil's 0% chance of dropping, or the vials that never ever drop).

However, if the quality of this pendant is indeed what we are looking for from a new mythic pendant, I hope that it is not a quest that can be completed in only a couple of hours, like the mythic armor upgrade quest. We need some longer term goals to work for, and there is no point working for something if everyone and his deary will have it within the first week. Everyone already uses identical gear and builds, with the ridiculous exception of the arcane ring rich/not-rich gear gap. Since we are finally getting something that requires people to actually run elites, let's make them run a good amount of them to get the end prize.

[TheBoon]

And also i forgot ask, does the google log in, on the test server still not allowed? Only those email and fb?

Did she say... A new toon?

[extrapayah]

no news for shared pet stable? :(

[drakesaber]

Wuhuuuu that is gotta be so fun [emoji1]

[Rhaindra]

*cough* planar arena?? Anyone selling cheap ankh kit? ;)

[Serancha]

Question: Will the pendant quest item from arena be a single boss drop? If it's put in chests then people who have been hoarding them have an advantage over everyone else. Kind of defeats the purpose of a shiny new quest if everyone can just auto-get the first item from hoarded chests.

[joydhillon]

If people have hoarded chests means they have worked for it. Kinda the same thing aint it?

[Paulnaj]

Please be aware of the massive disconnections before patching things up.

[justhell]

When launcing test server why not give all player with standart gear (legendary rarity maybe). So you guys really got feedback about dificult for general players,and please fix patch bug soon...[emoji24] [emoji24] [emoji24]

[SacredKnight]

This amulet dough! And I hope the test server is not only android

It will be for Android only I presume, they said they were going to use the same test server as they did with the Planar Arena. Said test server is only available on Android due to Apple's ToS etc.

What I hope is that the bug where Google Acs didn't transfer is fixed, because I really couldn't do anything without any useful gear.

[Farminer's]

Yay test server for me!

make it easy.

[Topchar]

Test Server only for Android again -_-

[rougeee]

cant wait. ty samhayne :-)

[morgy84]

Sounds perfect but STS plz allow google login players using there accounts at the test server. It was really annoying testing with nearly nothing. Wanna test with my normal gear to report a realistic feedback.

[siuded]

yuhhuu another fun again ... but fix please always download patch after dc its really annoying

[Armani Boi]

Yeah, i agree with you. Plus that time, no much issue and treated fairly the players.



I miss Delph, she never wanted to be the star, and she treated us like she was one of us.

[Dchaos]

plz make the test server work on pc this time. n if we can use our own characters that will be great.
Halloween event was very nice looking forward to play planar tombs and winter event.

Agreed. I'm hoping it's something more along the lines of dragkin teeth. Something that drops somewhat regularly, yet you need a lot of them so it's a big grind that takes lots of time.

[Jani Vidic]

So when will start test server?

[Heiress]

I miss Delph, she never wanted to be the star, and she treated us like she was one of us.

I enjoyed her down-to-earth, sweet nature.. she was the people's mod even if it didn't always serve her personally. Plus she was insanely fun to tease/hit on, esp when she didn't know how to react. Too adorable. I'd still switch sides and ask her out to dinner in a heartbeat :P

Oh yeah right uh tombs. Myth am. Yay. *waves lightsticks robotically*

BAD. Just to confirm there is NO OLD MYTHIC required for the New Mythic

[Inan'hesh]

-Ralchior

Its Shady amulet of Potency, because shady gives the bonus to you and allies. Surge on the other hand gives DoT to enemies. :)

[Gladius]

yes! i knew that the planar entry was going to be put there. in the shuyal expansion i've always wondered what was goin to be there

[adhyss]

hmmmmm....i'm so excited bout new mythic amulet,i hope quest for this amulet will be long and hard quest (but not too hard and expensive like fossil and arcane ring). and i hope to u guys didnt do too many update when planar tomb and winter event live...maybe patch bug is coz u guys do too many update during the event (just maybe :upset:)...and for test server please dont give us OP gear,coz when we back into reality we have to face too OP boss and mob...for google + user who cant play in test server why not u guys provide all login players with legendary rarity standard gear which already exist in our inventory,so there's no ppl cry in town for gear :chuncky:...

We've already have enough from getting the oldies and makin em new ones ,

Why not new ingredients into new items...that's sounds way better....something new for very new...

[Kriticality]

Farming elites for ingredients? Ankh kits will probably become very valuable. :-)

No, we don't. 1 a year is enough for me as it is...
And anyway! I think we all would appreciate SOMETHING for thanksgiving, perhaps a new mythic turkey pet for 250 plat? It would be nice to have something like this, no matter how dumb it may sound lol ;)
