Player’s Choice – Community Poll
We’re letting the community vote on what Signature Skills they’d like to see on our November Heroes!
The poll will be sent out in-game, so keep an eye on your Message Center notices!
Spooky Additions to the City
We share our Anniversary with Old Nan and her spooky tales for Halloween. To set the mood, you’ll notice the City scene and UI in-game sports its traditional creepy cobwebs, and somber shifted ambience.
In addition that, Players may have already noticed some new additions to this year’s spooky city, including black pigs roaming the streets and bats in the skies.
In the second half of the month you’ll also see pumpkins popping up (give them a tap to hear them squish!) and a (perhaps unwelcome?) guest lurking in the waters near your Port.
MORE Preset Loadouts!
In addition to the daily log-in bonus rewards, we will also be unlocking 6 new Preset Loadout slots on our anniversary (10/19)
This is a very common request we hear, so we know players will make the most of these new loadout slots! Enjoy!
Community Requested QOL Improvements
We have 6 quality of life improvements that were sourced from common player requests. A few kingdoms already had a preview of these last week, but global rollout will happen at the beginning of October.
⭐️ Filled Medic Tents notifications
When attempting to attack someone once your Medic Tent capacity has been reached, a banner notification will appear to warn you.
⭐️ Updated Gold Spend Warning/Confirmation
For years we have had a confirmation pop up when spending gold, that can be disabled for the day. However we commonly hear the request to be able to dismiss the warning for small purchases, while retaining it for larger amounts of gold.
This feature adds a new “Gold Spend Warnings” section under Settings which has 3 different toggles for >5k, >25k and >100k Gold purchases.
⭐️ New Visual indicators for Attack vs Takeover SOP Rallies
This adds new ways to quickly distinguish between ‘Take Over’ and ‘Attack’ SOP rallies. Look for the new icons on the upper right corner of each Rally within the Active Rallies panel
⭐️ Sort Rallies by capacity and march size
You can now sort Rallies in the Active Rally panel by their capacity, and total march size.
⭐️ Multiple Gear Template Slider
This change allows you to get multiple Gear Templates at once, removing some extra tapping from the flow for folks who like to craft with templates!
⭐️ Ability to favorite Gear and Armories, and filter by Favorites in the Smithy
We saved the best for last! (At least in this humble writer’s opinion)
Tap the heart icon on Gear and Trinket sets to favorite them. You can then filter by favorites, and certain menus will default to showing favorites at the top of the list (such as when you equip gear through your Lord Profile)
We’ve also begun work to add favorites to the Armory, however full Armory support will not be initially available.
Note: This will likely be the last one of these QOL features to rollout
The Return of Test Your Mettle!
A fan favorite, Test Your Mettle returns on October 21st with a few updates! Check out our guide or the video below to learn more about this cross kingdom, keep level bracketed PvP event!
