Brief announcement regarding boons and how they're awarded. It has come to my attention that a certain gang started a spam thread in their new players forum with the intention of generating post spam for boons. While the specific forum that they created this thread in actually had zero effect on gaining boons (lol), after some discussion with Zorg I have decided to remove forum posts and certain other forum-related things from being factored into you getting your next boon.

Also happy Wednesday - hope you get through the middle of this week. Have my first midterm today/tomorrow (if I ever sleep) and it's a fun one to start with.

Details on the Boon Ship will come sometime soon when I have a bit more free time. In the meanwhile, I have created a 'Known Bugs' thread in Main Forum which we will use to document any bugs as they are found out. Please read the instructions in the thread carefully to fully understand its purpose and how you can be involved in it. There's also a documented issue there - please make sure you read and are aware of that, thank you.

Greetings,

Latest update was a very minor one as I haven't (and will not for a while) had the time to work on anything major so I picked some smaller things to chip away at.

1. Hid already trained abilities from drop down.
2. Side Chat Mute (see Game Options)
3. Maximum Quick Links increased to 12 from 10.
4. Shadow Facility added as a quick link option.
5. Fixed incorrect time display for radioactive efficiency II.
6. Fixed birthday painted items not giving 25% loss in XP Transfers when transferring between it and its unpainted form.
7. Fixed Hunting Points calculation error.
8. Fixed item preview for shop items not displaying forge points/tempered stats correctly.

Finally, those under the effect of Double Luck who received only serums between ~6:19 AM, Jan 20th till ~6:30 AM Jan 21st have had their hunting drops re-simulated. Drops have been delivered and if you've found your inventory and void clogged to the high heavens, this is why. We only looked at Gatekeeper hunts for you that occurred AFTER you activated Double Luck during this period and re-simmed accordingly. 13 players were affected by this and I will be soon sending a transmission (i.e. popup message) to them.

Also, it's almost Friday and I have so many midterms I'm about ready to cry. Wish me luck. Happy almost-weekend!

The Hive Gatekeepers hunting cost has been reduced and points offered per hunt increased for the weekend only. There was an issue with one of their drops being far too common, more so than desired, for those that used the Book of Luck. While all their drops are still the same, their drop table has been reorganized with the help of a proposal by Rod. The reorganization only serves to benefit all players, especially those with the Double Luck status effect.

I feel really bad that this happened and do apologize to those with Double Luck. I was only just informed about it but it's been taken care of now. For all those with Double Luck, we are looking at ways to make up for the bad experience you've had - not leaving you in the dust. Bear with me as my time irl is a bit limited at the moment but something will be done sooner rather than later.

In other news,

- For those who couldn't find them, the Phoenix Key event rewards can be found in the Shadow Facility.

- Boons are gradually gained by participating/being active in various aspects of the game. Think of it as leveling up - you earn XP by doing different things. The amount of XP you need per boon has been altered here and there (only to your benefit) and based on how this weekend and a few days after go, we will fix the rate of Boon XP/Boon gain at a specific value.
