Valkyries Fall

1000 Players

31 July 2020

Today marks the day that we reached 1,000 players for the game!

In celebration of that, for the next 10 days there will be double exp, gold and even skill drop rate!

Additionally there is also a 20% sale on all diamonds bought!

Much love, for you all. Haz.

Ps, settlements will drop in the next few days!

Minor changes

18 July 2020

I've reverted the chat update I did the other day. It was starting to hold way to many chat items.

Fixed an error with empty chat message erroring. This only affected mods and admins.

Fixed an error where Aggression skill wasn't automatically updating when it increased.

In some rare cases, it would say that you were autoing too fast. I've made some modifications to help prevent this.

Speaking of auto's... Those of you with long auto's sometimes have them stop. This would normally be due to a connection issue, either your side, or possibly also on the server. In an effort to stem this, auto's will now retry if it fails. It will retry a maximum of 5 times over the space of 30 seconds. It wont continuously try, as that can cause issues for the server. But will hopefully resolve auto's randomly stopping most of the time.

Minor adjustments

15 July 2020

With our massively improved servers, I've made a few adjustments for a better quality of life in the game.

Chat is now held for longer. Rather than keeping chat for 3 hours before archiving it, it's now 12.

I have turned back on the normal error logging. This was previously only set to track fatal errors because of the rubbish server. This will mean i can now (again) more easily track errors that you report and get accurate details of these errors.

Also fixed a few minor bugs in game:

• Hitting submit on no action no longer locks the buttons without doing anything.
• When a mission progresses, it now gives the correct number in the results.

New Servers

08 July 2020

Yesterday we made a switch to a new service provider. The old server had a critical hardware failure and the provider refused to fix it, so we left them. No point in staying with a company when they can't even provide you the service you pay for! Never mind their shocking customer service.

In any case, we've moved to a new provider and their infrastructure is magnitudes better. No longer is there noticible latency issues the further you are from the server. Some players have even reported a 5-6x increase in their game speed!

This new provider was chosen with the future in mind. There's the ability to instantly provision more resources like CPU and RAM as the game gets bigger and (hopefully) the playerbase gets bigger.

I thank you all for your patience through the last few days while I set up the new server. Hopefully it'll never have to happen again.

Here's to a long and successful future of the game! Skol!

Gunnr Buff

30 June 2020

Gunnrs rewards have been buffed 10x. They should now be "worthwhile" to kill. See the help page for details.

New Community Tool

22 June 2020

Two players, Rouxgaroux and Malum, have made a handy little tool for calculating your exp and gold gains. You can find it on the help page and it can calculate what you'd get with certain special items, what plane you're on and your bonuses. Can also be used to figure out what you need to be able to get back to 1 fight per level up!

I had no hand in making this, they did it all themselves. My only input was on some minor optimisation and changing it's styling to fit with the game current help page look.

Hotfix for Randgrid

19 June 2020

Fixed an issue with Revenant classes hitting rnadgrid. Those with pre-fight damage abilities could 1-hit them.
Pre-fight damage against Randgrid is now 0. At least until other classes can do the same (via runes) at a later stage, to keep things fair.

During the last sale event, there were complaints that people missed it. So I've added a check that displays a message next to the buy diamonds button if there's any purchase on sale.

Valkyrie Shards

18 June 2020

Valkyrie Shards.

Every time you kill a Valkyrie, if you fail to get an item as a reward, there's a 1 in 3 chance you'll get a Valkyrie shard instead.
4 different things can be bought in exchange for Valkyrie Shards. You can find these in the beastiary. It even includes one of the items previously only obtainable by diamonds!

NEW VALKYRIE! Randgrid. This Valkyrie behaves differently to all the others. You will only be able to deal 1 damage to it at a time (2 or more if you manage to revive!). This Valkyrie is guaranteed to drop 1 Valkyrie shard. It also still has the item drop chances, so you could in fact end up with 2 shards from it. Also, No matter what grade this beast is, it has 100 health. It also only drops 1★ items.
This Valkyrie is ONLY available by random spawn. You cannot pay for it to spawn from the beastiary, random or specific.
You CAN, however, get this Valkyries rewards from a Svipul.

#Freeble. All ranfomly spawned feeble Valkyries will now only spawn in the free to play realms.

Midsommer Event

16 June 2020

On the 19th June 00:00:00, Through to 21st 23:59:59 There will be a double Exp, Gold and Skills event to celebrate the Norse holiday of Midsommer. There will also be a 20% sale on diamonds during this time.

Bling Bling

16 June 2020

Added diamond bunch drops. Whenever you get a diamond drop from a fight, there's a 10% chance you'll get 2-10, rather than 1. This also comes with a pretty new public message about the drop!

Added Accumulative login rewards. For each day yoou log in consecutively, your maximum diamond gain fro login goes up by 1. Maximum 5 additional diamonds, so 1-10 per day after 5 days. I know some of you will complain this still isn't enough. It's exploitable and is already being exploited. So I'm never going to make it give you a lot. Perhaps discussions can be had around this and how to prevent the whole diamond mule thing. Will probably have to wait for daily goals to be a thing to earn more diamonds...

Increased the Login Jackpot chances. While the chance is still fairly low, it's now considerably better.

QoL: When in your inventory, selecting an item will now automatically choose the relevant action Equip/Unequip.

For some reason, you all love a chat command, even though there's a link right there on screen. You can now type /ann or /announcements to open announcements in a new window.

Added Discord link to footer, next to the sharing icons.
