Love Crafting Event

Thank you to all of the players and guilds who came online to get those last 3,000 in less than an hour!

Lvl 15 Twink Tournament

We hosted our 3rd official PvP Tournament this past weekend in the level 15 Twink bracket. Congratulations to team Golden Lotus for taking the win, and team Pronoobs for taking a very close second. Check out our YouTube channel at youtube.com/spacetimestudios for recaps, highlights and bloopers!

In This Week's Update
A new event went live this morning, a day earlier than our usual releases since we're expecting inclement weather here in Spacetime Land tomorrow! (Brrr!)

Log in now to grab the limited edition "Frog Egg Crate" from any Beastmaster around Arlor. The crates cost 15 Platinum and can be opened to receive one of the 6 existing frog pets in Arlor, including Gyrm, a pet previously attainable only from the Goblin Event. Check out the announcement here: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?213027-It-s-a-Frog-stravaganza-in-Arcane-Legends-this-Weekend!

And we wouldn't forget the bug fixes! This week:

+ The mage deer pets have gotten their wiggles out and returned to normal.
+ The ignore list no longer shows duplicate names

Coming Soon

Face Time with Spacetime
Productor and I took some time out today to film the next installment of Face Time with Spacetime. It sure has been a while! The video will go live on YouTube later this week and will showcase some cool Community Spotlights and answer some of the best question from the Q&A thread, here: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?211451-Face-Time-with-Spacetime-Official-Q-amp-A-Thread

Full steam ahead!!
The development team is full steam ahead working on the new expansion! I can't wait to start posting teasers and announcements starting in the next couple of weeks. You guys are really going to love it.

Bugs and Suggestions
We will continue to collect your bug reports and suggestions each week and get as many as we can into the schedule. Don't forget to post in the comments below to help guide us to what you want to see the most. Always keep in mind that some things are much bigger in scope than others. For example, class balance won't be done overnight, but we will always keep it in mind.

What's Next?

What do you want to see next, folks? Let us know in the comments what you would like to see us put our attention on next and share your most brilliant ideas. I'll see you in next week's update!

[Problmatique]

First :)

[Madnex]

PvP:
1. The Ancient Mythic Amulet proc's crystals healing 30% HP each (for 90% total!) when worn by warriors instead of just adding 0.5 HP regen.
2. The Frost-Touched bow's proc pulling and damaging allies in PvP areas.

PvE:
1. The "Invite All to Party" button re-enabling itself every time you break a party, even if you've unchecked it from the settings in Options.


Good job on the vanities, they look interesting. :)

[extrapayah]

any news on shared pet stable? :D

[Axesam]

Please make pet available in loadout

[Bellaelda]

Same basic requests...

1) Class skills reworked to make mages more useful in pvp and tanks useful in pve

2) a scrolling skill bar so we can use our skills more effectively without constantly swapping in menus

3) a dueling arena where people can challenge each other to battles and other can watch

Are my top requests

[Ladysophie]

127792
There is no Hugthulu in the poll...

[Zynzyn]

The design team has done well with these vanities. I liked the event because the event was free, short crafting periods, no energy hassle, cool loot, involved collective effort, spreads positivism among players of the AL community as the event could be enjoyed by running with friends and guildmates. The fact that the event vanities are not transferable keeps their exclusivity intact and attaches value to them. I prefer it this way and thank sts for that. Great idea and very well executed. Looking forward to more events like this one!

[Haligali]

Another troll boss..

[Dragoonclaws]

Excuse me,

I just wanted to notice that the one story token drop isn't very useful.

Why do we only get 1 story token? Can we get 10 please? I feel like 1 story token is useless

[Dragoonclaws]

127792
There is no Hugthulu in the pool...

It's a TROLL

The poll was a troll, and the thing behind the portal is a TROLL, like literally

[siddhant]

ty for the updates
But a suggestion would be of the 5options in poll there should have been an option stating a boss which might drop goodies
Cauz i feel like u tell us do these things and u will get either one of this
1:nekro
2:arcane ring
3:1000plats
4:sns
5:imbued set of each class
And after we have done the set goal u give us 1k @trolling us duh-.-

[inkredible]

It was nice having you! Thanks again

[carmine_blade]

I thought this event was great, as I posted elsewhere. It was totally free to play, and plenty of money was made (1m by one guildie) in my guild anyway farming candies and now lovecraft chests. The vanities look cool, and the candies really encouraged people to get out and play. Making the vanities nontradeable is, IMO, a good idea because then people actually earn them rather than just buy them. This means we can all feel proud of them :) I understand it's frustrating when you loot a vanity for a class that isn't your main, but there are four (five?) days worth of farming that can be done for zero cost so there's plenty of opportunity to get the one you want. Also, why not start another character or two for events, daily elixirs, auctions.. they'll look super fly :D thanks STS, I hope you'll consider using this format again.

[Maarkus]

Thank you for the update but can we get any real news in the comments/suggestions/ questions/bug fixes/ skill fix suggestions posted on other weekly update threads?

Please correct me if I'm wrong but from what I understad the information posted on this weekly update post is what was used to be on the announcement section... I mean these are the things that are already in place. The concept of this weekly update was to communicate with forumers on concerns they have with the game and to update us on what's being done before it is implemented.this is not what's happening here and the impression of STS creating and avenue where player can place their concerns and dev's reply is all gone

I was sincerely hoping that the weekly update thread was heading this direction like in the first two weekly update posts but after the third weekly update post where STS was asked the right and hard questions the thread suddenly subsided in to announcements of what's in the game already.... This is going backwards . Please stay true to your 'what's next' section and answer the questions of the players and not just dodge them.

I apologize if this sounds like an attack but to be honest there was really progress on the discussions and I just need to highlight that what's happening is stepping back and not moving forward. I love this game and I really don't want it to die out so please listen to the players as there are a lot of posts/threads with good ideas and crit ism that the game can benefit from.

As for me... I've realized 5weeks of trying to get a point across is not enough. My concern in PVE warrior skill review and class relevance is too sensitive or difficult for STS to handle.. I never posted as much on forums and but with this type of response I think I know why I never did in the first place.

There are a lot of vocal posts with reliable and legitimate player so I hope at least you respond to their concerns.

Thanks for reading....

Maarkus

I have to agree with what Maarkus is saying here. I guess you are indeed very busy and do understand that things like class balance take a long time, but even the bugs on Madnex's list haven't been addressed yet. I have been playing this game for 8 months and practically haven't seen any progress on this list. Please fix the issues before going ahead and releasing the expansion.

Tyvm :-))

[ColdBlahd]

Hot

[Kakashis]

I think that the Golden cupid wings rate should be increased or make them tradable! some people are getting multiple for a class they can't use while others are struggling to get any!

[Arrowz]

Add skill loadouts like pocket legends. Last time i played was at the lvl 66 cap but being able to swap between skills easily would be nice. It would add a new element to pvp cuz people would be able to more effectively ise 5-6 skills. Also it would be easier to swap between builds for pve

[phonixbong]

Question. I.know we get to keep the vanities we bought with hearts and plats, butbthe golden wings we getting from love chests, will they still.be.around after event, or will they dissappear?
Thanks :)

[Spell]

Couldnt agree more ^_^

[vawaid]

i fou cant make the vanities tradable, make these giftable.

[Aquatika]

Only one frog with 15 plat?

[PhoenixPrime]

Thanks for the event, this one was actually fun (we hated the Gauntlet).
Finally got ourselves the Golden Wing vanities too (after hundreds of crates that only seemed to open loot for the OTHER classes, ouch).

But again, overall we loved it.

Plus the frog crates were a great way to fill our stables with Gyrm and our pockets with Gold! 8^)

[Dragoonclaws]

Life is controlled

You are controlled

CONTROLLED IS CONTROLLED

[Allows.]

The event is great, and i really liked the idea that the whole community has to work together to open Cupid's portal.

But, why no Arcane Deary as Boss?

[Sfubi]

dailyreward posted a very doable idea for the *lolhulu wings, move them to the banner loadout so we can wear them with other vanities!
http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?213374-replace-wings-to-banner-place

*copied from a post by haligali, general discussion, frustration with lovecraft chests. i laughed out loud

[cyrusrevange]

Thank you for the events and I'd like to see:
1) Increase inventory&stash limit to over 1000.
2) More zoome out camera (PVE maps)

Thank you

[cyrusrevange]

any news on shared pet stable? :D

This is great idea for Arcane and mythic pets at least.

[Mr.Diamante]

Add a Follow button to follow your parties :distracted:

[izubattousaiOlrek]

Soo lvl46 is coming pretty soon right?

[magenice]

Please:
1. bring back the para gem event for new expansion,I started this game after that event and I do not have any para gem and I am sure those already have para gem will be once more happy to have it for new L46 gears specially mythic l46(ohh can't wait to see how new mythic l46 look like)
2. bring more grand or super gem event( I can not efford to buy all auction gems trying to get grand gem on my gears,cost more than price of my gears)

[Kampfmaschine]

Thanks

[Aquatika]

We need more motivation for runing elites

[Serancha]

- "Smart" Chat system still desperately needs to be fixed / eliminated

- Elite leaderboards need to be put back in - Tindirin, Planar Tombs and Arena

- Why has STS never run any elite events, yet they have pvp contests with banner rewards every few months? I am talking about actual PvE elite running, not "run KT and WT tombs for a week to collect crafting materials" events.

From the turnout shown in Kalizza's Tour of Arlor, we can clearly see a desperate need for motivation to run elites. 900+ people never signed up for any pvp tournament, yet they ran for this. Shows that we want to play the game, but are not currently being given any incentive. Dark / Imbued gear was a great start, totally trashed by the announcement of an expansion. Nobody is going to spend millions on new 41 gear when the level 46 cap is around the corner.

Three releases of mythic weapons in 5 months has ruined the small legendary weapon market we had, so there is currently no reason to run elites. We want to - we showed that overwhelmingly, but the game is currently lacking in reason to run anything but arena in hopes of a recipe.



- People have suggested adding 50k and 100k gold drops back into locked crates. While I think this would be a total disaster and just widen the wealth gap further, why can we not have chances at financial loot crates provide, from elite bosses?

5-100 plat, 25-50k gold as possible elite boss drops would go a long way towards restoring player interest. The harder the map, the better chance of better payouts. I would not suggest this for low level elite bosses like Jarl, bit for real elites it only seems logical since there is no loot of value to farm for.

[goldmarket]

ty for the updates/I love all the events.I would like to see:==>

1. Few optional light background music or live radio.
2. Major buff on stash.
3. More mythic pets.
4. More mini events/they are great.

ty all great work.

[Candylicks]

What sera said, we need gold payouts in elites now. Drop us some 50k 100k, we don't really have good reason to run elite maps anymore. Gold is dried up. Reward those spending ankh and potions with gold at the boss, and scale it up as the elite zone is more difficult.

Increase the max number of players for guild hall. We can't hold guild meetings without struggling to get everyone inside, can we plat up for a bigger room?

If there is any way to make the Valentine's vanity all trade-able it would be SO GREAT! Tons of us are stuck with ones we don't like and feel like we wasted our time in that portal, can you fix that for us?

[supersyan]

Craftable vanities and banners with planar fragment please :P

[Ladysophie]

Please don't make the valentine vanities tradeable, we prefer them exclusive. If the vanities you have are not for your main class, pass them to your twinks.
