So just a quick update, before you all start bugging me about this.

The forums are down until further notice.
This is due to a bug related to the recent Werewolves game.

I've pushed a fix and asked Zorg to sync it live ASAP.

I'll let it be up to Will to decide how the game is going to proceed.

The Shadress event raid will go away at Sunday night - 11:55 PM game time.

The next (non-event) raid that will be released will be Strange Hives III, for those of you who have unlocked it. I've been a bit busy irl + sick now but it should be available at some point next week.

So for those who might have forgotten by now: signups for the new Werewolves game are done. Be sure to check the last post of it to see what's going on. The short version is that if you signed up, you need to message me with your anonymous identity. It has already been a thing for a couple days so I'll let it keep going until Monday when I get home (roughly 2PM EST (or 3PM if you go back server time in the upper right). At which point I'll get it setup with Lynx's new system (thanks to Lynx again by the way) and we will go from there.

Also, a bunch of people were able to participate in the Shadress invasion of the Wasteland this year and will be receiving a gift bag which may or may not include the banner. With Aldo successfully getting multiplayer raids figured out though, next year we can potentially get one setup so that fighting her is available all day (for all of those who miss it due to time constraints) as well as rewards for doing so.

So the take away from all of this:

• Message Will with Werewolf name


• Game will start some time Monday


• Shadress rewards some time this weekend


• Brace yourself...Winter is coming

Smiley Pack 4 has been added to the Platinum Store. Some great stuff by UnicornBob! Do check it out if you want access to some hip new emotes:

Raids

A couple of minor fixes in the world of raids (hopefully nothing else is broken).

• Fixed Strange Crown healing and cutting its own XP when the player is already at full health.


• Fixed a rendering issue with the raid map system when switching maps (when you go to the queen's area in The Ritual, you see all walls but you should actually see a few non-wall tiles).


• Probably the most important, locked public events that have no players in them (i.e. everyone died/left/failed..etc) will be reset by the next minute tick so as to give everyone another chance. You will need to repay the cost if you fail.

New items (now that people have discovered them)

• Strange Crown - heals the user for 10 times the item level every 2 minutes. However, it also costs the same in Misc XP in order to execute the heal.


• Armor, Weapon, and Misc Balls - Allow a lossless transfer of XP out of them to respective item types. You cannot transfer XP back into them by any means. They can transfer XP to any item with a level requirement below or above them.


• Nanite Cluster - Grants a full heal + extra HP (eg. if it says it gives +100 nano-shield, and your max hp is 300 - you will be healed to 400/300).


• Power Core - Buff that removes WL re-entry timer for 1 entry only.

Stay tuned for more info on upcoming raids.
