Welcome to V3.6.3!

Friday 30 May - 18:39:04 Blaaster

Hello all and welcome to V3.6.3!

A new version and new changes, make sure to read this news update and check the changelog to get updated.

Manual rework - Work in progress!
For the longest time we've neglected the manual, as so many updates were happening across the game it became almost impossible to keep it updated, however we've finally taken the time to start updating it properly.
We've begun updating existing pages and creating new help pages for features that were lacking relevant information.
We estimate to have updated about 40-45% of the manual so far and will continue to update it this version till everything is covered.

Legendary items
Last version we introduced legendary items, the drop rate of them were so low that none of them actually dropped, we've now buffed the legendary items drop rate on world bosses.
We've also added legendary equipment drops to the crimes feature.
Let's hope RNG is on your side this version!

Other changes
We've also made plenty of changes across the entire game, reworked the world bosses system, fixed rewards, fixed bugs.
Updated the pickpocket system, fake players now have more capabilities and more, make sure to check the changelog to get fully updated!

Player count
As I'm sure most of you are aware, player counts have dipped quite a bit the past few versions sadly.
We're working on several things to try and make things better, we're actively holding some feedback discussions regarding the current state of the game to make improvements where needed.
During this version we'll be focussing on several aspects; Manual/Help pages, Reset email system, and using social media again to make announcements.
We'll also continue to make improvements to the "fake players" system so some features inside the game will still be accessible while player count is low.
Make sure to invite your friends to come check out the game while we continue to improve the experience, new player feedback is incredibly insightful!

Free upgrades
During this version you'll receive a free gold profile and free regular stamina burner upgrade throughout the entire version.
Any existing upgrades have been extended by an extra 5 days due to the downtime to start the new version.

As always we will keep you updated (on Discord) when we have more info to share!

We wish you all good luck this version and to have fun, make sure to report feedback, and join our Discord!
Don't forget to invite your friends to come try the game!

Welcome to V3.6.2!!!

Friday 25 April - 19:03:26 Blaaster

Hello all and welcome to V3.6.2!

A new version and new changes, make sure to read this news update and check the changelog to get updated.
Many changes have been made this version and several new features have been introduced.

Auto crime is back with many changes!
The auto crime feature is back!
Last version we brought the old auto crime back with several twists and changes.
You could no longer see your stamina, logbooks, or manually crime yourself if you had the auto crime activated.
These changes have now been reverted and the auto crime itself has been updated/reworked to be more overall balanced and function in the way it should function.
Keep in mind that these are still testing stages for the auto crime, we still have to fine-tune some settings and add some more options to make it even more efficient.

Legendary items
We've also introduced legendary items!
For now they will only drop from the world boss, and they are super super rare, but super worth it!
This is the first feature that will drop legendary items, we'll be checking their overall balance and drop rates.
During the next few versions we'll be updating this feature with more changes, and adding drops from other places.

Other changes
We've also made plenty of changes across the entire game, reworked the world bosses system, fixed rewards, fixed bugs.
Updated the pickpocket system, fake players now have more capabilities and more, make sure to check the changelog to get fully updated!

Welcome to V3.6.1!

Friday 14 March - 19:27:28 Blaaster

Hello all and welcome to V3.6.1!

A new version and new changes, make sure to read this news update and check the changelog to get updated.

Auto crime is back
The auto crime feature is back!
With several twists and reworks, and more updates are coming later this version.
You can no longer commit crimes manually while the auto crimer is active, and while the auto crimer is active you cannot obtain information on which crimes it's playing nor see your current stamina.
We've given more information on reasonings on our Discord server, make sure to join the conversation!

Sub classes
Another new feature is the sub class system, upon creating a character you'll now have to choose a sub class.
These sub classes will give specific benefits in certain situations, choose carefully!
We'll be experimenting with this system by adding other sub classes somewhere down the line.

Ranking system overhaul
Last version we've made some pretty sweeping changes to the ranking system.
And in this version we've rebalanced several aspects of the game to be in line with these changes.
Several features had their rank requirements adjusted, and we've also addressed the overall crime and ranking systems.
Make sure to check the changelog to get fully updated.

Real players?!?
As you might have noticed, there are some accounts on the online list with a different color indicator.
These aren't 'real' players, these are sort of like 'bots' that we are currently using to test the new auto crime update.
However, we have several ideas into keeping this 'feature' inside the game, and to further expand on this.
We're planning on releasing more information regarding this system on Discord in the next few weeks.

Free upgrades
During this version you'll receive a free gold profile and free regular stamina burner upgrade throughout the entire version.
Any existing upgrades have been extended by an extra 4 days due to the downtime to start the new version.

Version length & Unique titles
At the end of this version we'll be distributing some unique titles based on performance!
Titles such as the Hall of Fame for the top 3 players and more, we'll give an update on this later on Discord.

We're currently unsure how long this version will run for, normally we estimate a version length to be a certain amount of weeks.
However, with the sweeping changes made to the ranking system this might be either longer or shorter, it also appears there are fewer players playing this version which might also impact the duration.
As always we will keep you updated (on Discord) when we have more info to share!

We wish you all good luck this version and to have fun, make sure to report feedback, and join our Discord!

Welcome to V3.5.5!

Friday 21 June - 17:49:42 Blaaster

Hello all and welcome to V3.5.5!

Once again we've made a lot of changes to the game in order to keep things fresh.
Several features have had their balance changed and we've also added some new and returning features!

Auto crimer & NPC system
During the last 2 versions, we've made some pretty big changes to the NPC system and introduced the auto crime feature.
This version we've further optimized both these systems by reducing costs of gathering intel, showing more information, making the process of intel-shooting easier and more efficient and by adding primary loot drops.
We've also made several balance changes to the NPC system itself, and we've tuned the auto crimer in multiple ways in order for it to run more efficiently and have less downtime on criming.

More changes and updates will be made to both these systems in the future to optimize them even further.

Duels & Family alliances returning
During Armageddon last version we've begun public testing of the duels feature, based on the results we've decided to launch duels at the start of this version.
Several restrictions have been added to the duels system and we've also added more duel options to test, keep in mind that we still consider the duels feature as a test, while our test results all seem to be accurate and working as intended, we expect there might still be some issues, so make sure to report any problems!
The family alliance feature has also returned, this will allow for smaller families to be a bit more competitive during wars.
Several new restrictions have been added to the alliance system, make sure to check the changelog to get updated.

Mobile design
We've also replaced the old mobile design with the new mobile design.
There's still several updates coming to the mobile design to make it function even better and make playing the game much smoother on smaller devices.
Make sure to give us feedback on the design changes!
