Dev Diary 12 :: 2015 :: October - Ray - 10-07-2015 Howdy Folks, Welcome to October....So the soul orb system is out, and we have a lot of work ahead now. What i'm focusing on right now:
RE: Dev Diary 12 :: 2015 :: October - Ray - 10-10-2015 Good news for you crystal shoppaholics who may have made some mistakes in orb unlocks for the next patch. While there won't be any orb investment resets currently (or maybe ever), you will be able to spend 10 crystals to reset which orbs you unlocked to allow you to select a different build. This will not take away current investments in orbs, so if you unlock that orb again, your previous investment will still be there. RE: Dev Diary 12 :: 2015 :: October - Ray - 10-13-2015 In preparations for the next patch, i've been working on a new chat system. The style of the new chat will be a little inconsistent with the previous chat system, or other windows as it is the first major UI component with Resolution & Mobile support in mind. Beyond a small potential of adding skinning capability down the road, you can probably expect the following features:
Halloween event development begins after this patch, likely late this week/weekend, depending how smooth my move goes lol. Regarding support, we will have a new user for Community Relations (Alice) who will be able to assist with re-instancing of parties & guilds, and will hopefully be able to assist in chat moderation on Kongregate soon, among other things I'm also intending on working with someone later this week on preparing server design for the potential service transfer away from Yahoo's Gamesnet - the service that has been holding the game back for a while with a plague of service issues. I appreciate how patient you guys have been with all of this as I can certainly understand how annoying these same occurrences must be getting. Rest assured, I haven't been resting well with these issues still kicking around and i'm working around the clock in preparations for the long-term improvements of the service Ray RE: Dev Diary 12 :: 2015 :: October - Ray - 10-18-2015 19968B48157C623FBD095B4A565B5BB 198EEF8ED6A9FE76D6B3F30F02150B4 197D88164F3E2D9109EE770223212A0 196893F80D6830D62765FFAD7721742 195E4A3297FE25A71D030B67EB83BFC 194A684F98EA8FE223C713B77189A77 Now that I have your attention Patch is aiming for Monday 2PM. Most of it is ready but there's a good amount of testing to go through first. This patch does NOT include the Halloween event, that will likely be released ~Oct 25-29th as some of the assets are still in the works. There is a lot going on in the background that isn't overly exciting for players, but regardless, a lot is going on in preparation of moving the game to a more stable service, expanding the game more globally, and just general preparations for actual exciting aspects (Such as avatars and crafting and beasts and Offline Gains and Challenge Overhaul and Pet Arena tiering and Fishing and...). I gauruntee i'm just as or more excited to get these features in the game but there's other hindrances that i'm working to push aside, so stay tuned....they are definitely still features coming to an IOU near you. It has been a bumpy ride and i'm sure there will be more bumps on the road in the next month but that being said I appreciate how amazing the community has been in putting up with the frustrating instance issues among other things. The patch will generally include:
