1.7.1 Content Update (57237)

[asommers]

• The "Main Spine" of content is now free: Balefort Castle, Fathom Crypts, Lost Expedition, Ancient Swamps, Alien Oasis Trilogy, and Balefort Sewers.

• Anyone that purchased any Main Spine content within the last 3 days will have their Platinum refunded.
• All accounts that have previously purchased the Main Spine will be automatically granted the "Shield of Gratitude", a limited-edition shield given to those that have supported our efforts up to this point. If you qualify, the shield can be found in your Stash.
• Festive Party Hats are now available in the store.

• Wave at someone wearing one to receive a smaller party hat and help us celebrate our first year.

• Characters can now only enter a campaign dungeon if they are within 2 levels of the minimum recommended level requirement for that campaign.

• Players of all levels will be able to enter any towne.
• Attempting to host a dungeon your character does not have minimum required level access to will put you in the last towne you were in.

• Added 3 "mega-combos" that require all 3 character classes to perform. These mega-combos stack onto existing combos. Give them a try!

• Nature Strike + Hellscream
• Shatter + Break Armor
• Crushed + Drain Life.

• Elixirs can now only be purchased with Platinum.

• Skill respecs now cost 2 Platinum again.

• Magic Mirror faces are now all 5 Platinum.

• Wyldwood, Croc Feud, and Shadow Caves are now paid access campaigns. Players who already have access to Balefort Castle, Croc Swamp, and Alien Oasis 3 should be granted these expansions for free.

NOTE: As a special thank you to players who have been with us for at least 6 months, look for an exclusive “Founders Helm” coming Wednesday. We know we couldn’t have made it so far without the help of our early adopters!

Aw stinks that only apple users get the hat and +1000000000000000 for the minimum level needed to enter a campaign dungeon. Seriously, +infinity!!

Also, regarding elixirs for plat, I was skeptical of it at first but realized its great for stimulating the economy. Remove the major gold drain, encourage more buying and selling.

All looks great, but not sure what effect Plat only Exliers will have on the game, apart from the obvious. Longer levelling times for infrequent Plat users, etc.

Won't the prices of things increase if there is more disposable gold in the game??

EDIT: Am certain the devs will see a significant drop in Elixir use so not sure it'll be a vastly increased revenue stream?? Wondering if there is a different reason....

Hey Physio... thats what I always do... buy and sell in on CS... then make the gold to buy Elixirs... now i can only make the gold buy other items

[olimaxnik]

great update. But the idea for the elixiers is only s**t.

[Vanced]

Aw stinks that only apple users get the hat. .

Nice overall!

Wow on elixirs. There goes speed runs

[noneo]

cant wait for almost all of them!

but all elixers costing plat? seriously?

[Zux]

Whooooooooooo!!!!

[DOAPSaint]

wish I qualified for a helm but at least I can get the shield!
I love this already...

[Wrap]

Wow! Awesome job!

[CowboyJim]

Yay, I finally can get a shield.....
I always thought that elixirs should cost plat....great jo on the level hosting too...
Will the founder's helm be added to our main?

[Echelong]

Everything is good for this update except the elixirs. I regret not been able to level my archer before now I need 26k exp thats gonna take a week instead of 2 days of hard farming.

I was seriously expecting a bigger update but its kool apart form what I stated before and thanks for the shield.

[pwnpear]

DEVS! I bought all of the maps except Fathom Crypt, and now youre saying not only do i not get the shield, but i also dont get a refund for any of it?? you should let the players like me at least buy the last campagn! I spent lots of money on those campaigns and now youre giving it away for free! i dont feel any gratitude right now...GIMME SOMETHING AT LEAST

[Aziscitie]

love it so much...

[AnotherAzi]

Same point as Snakespeare - My lvl 39 should be able to join or host AO2 (within 2 of recommended 40-45), but I can do neither. I can lvl to 40 pretty quickly in AO1 but I'd like to be able to join AO3 at 43 instead of at 45, as this is my 3rd char. Thanks.

[Fallen Caccavari]

I saw something Justg said on another post about everyone not getting their Platnium back. Because "It's the real world...blah blah blah BUT everyone who bought it in the past 3 days get a refund?"

How is that fair? If it's like the real world then no one should receive a refund. Those people didn't know they were gonna get their Platnium back when they were buying the campaigns just like we didn't know they were gonna be free eventually.

No one should get their Platnium back unless everyone does. Unless the people who actually spent real money (the kind that I have to break my back to make) get an incentive like the next batch of campaigns for free.
