Very long days of development here working on the new event system and some other things.


I have just worked out the new Event Challenge into the challenge system....one that had to work alongside the existing challenge system, but not interfere with it. This made things quite hectic as it required changing the way most of the system worked to allow for alternative system integration and rewards (Event Points).

That being said...This challenge offers an interesting new mode that i'm sure users will enjoy tackling. CANDY RUSH mode. Auto & Click delays reduced so much that you'll feel like you're cheating for this slightly more entertaining challenge 

A little bit of fun info for this patch:

• There are 12 Hidden Easter eggs you have to find in the game. Can you find all twelve? 
• There are 9 Secret event point rewards earned by killing a specific creature on each planet...(Better get ascended and unlock as many planets as possible!)
• There are 5x3 (15 more) challenge mode/difficulty combinations for earning additional event points.
• There's a new Event Milestone system in the character window to increase your XP, Gold and Damage rates.
• This event is being hardcoded for next year. It's 1 of 12 official yearly events.
• Theres a new limited holiday pack for those who keep bugging me about more packs :-p Maximum of 2 can be purchased during the event. As much as I need support, I want everyone to enjoy this game and the competitive portions need to all be obtainable without pay2win
• 50 Bonus damage for being level 100+?!
• New damage bonus per level after 100? Nice!
• Milestones to be converted to static base damage amounts, significantly more than the previous base damage % increases? Awesome.
• Higher client framerate for a cleaner feel
• Easter Pack Code
• New 'Random Bonus' Code system...will be improved over time
  

I'm hoping to get a few more things done before the release as well. Keep being patient
