Balefire Beast

70

Arriving on 3/24/15!

This week we are introducing a small preview of the upcoming Fish and Ships update by including a ship (and sail) in the Power Pack, through Mastery, and a big ship in the Chaos Chests. On top of this new clubs now have deep water in the Sea of Regret and there are new terraformers that can be crafted for this deep sea of regret (cheap) and a deep Sea of Tranquility (more expensive).

We're also introducing Chaos Factor which grants one chaos chest per day on log in per point. These are very hard to get. You can get one at rank 100 mastery, one if you have max mastery, one per $1000 spent (which you can now view via Glyph and soon in game), and chaos chests now very very very rarely drop a tradable coin which grants one.

Finally, we're running an event this week in which every Shadow Arena and Dungeon grant double damage to one random class. Have fun!

== FEATURES==

Ship and Deep Water Preview
* The Power Pack now contains a clipper class Trovian ship and Trovian sail. All previous purchasers will of course be granted these automatically.
* Mastery rank 70 now grants a clipper class mastery ship and rank 80 a mastery sail
* You can acquire the starter sail in the hub
* The chaos chest contains a rare galleon class chaos ship.
* Club worlds now start with deep seas of regret.
* There is a craftable deep sea of regret terraformer which is quite cheap
* There is a craftable sea of tranquility terraformer

Chaos Factor
* Chaos Factor is now live. For every point you have you will gain a chaos chest every day that you log in.
* You earn one point at rank 100 mastery, one point at max mastery (as long as you keep it), and one point per $1000 spent on the game. There is also a very very very rare tradable coin that comes from chaos chests and grants one permanent point on consumption.

Shadow Power Event
* For this week only all Shadow Arenas and Dungeons will grant double damage to one random class!

== GAME UPDATE==

New in the Store
* You can now purchase the Bone Knight and Elysian Guardian costumes on the store!
* The Chaos Chest has been randomized. See what you get this week!
** Look for a giant ship, a magical pet, and a bouncy bug.

Adventure
* There are now multiple starting zones in adventure worlds which are rotated between. This should make it much easier to find content near where you spawn in.

Mastery
* Mastery rank 100 now grants a non-tradable choas coin.
* Rank 110 has been added and now grants the wings that used to be at 100.
* You'll notice that post-100 there are no longer rewards for the middle ranks. We don't want to keep giving adventure power post 100, and are looking at some other designs for how mastery works post-100. In the meantime we'll focus on major rewards only past 100 while we work on this.

Crafting
* Terraformers no longer cost Glim and have had their costs updated.

Classes
* Shadow hunters will no longer mark allies.
* Candy Barbarian's candy now has a much shorter delay before auto-looting

Bug Fixes and Polish
* Fix for some club worlds not loading at all, and some loading slowly
* Purple and gold dungeon portals have more informative text on them
* Balefire Beast dragon form has had its missing thigh fixed
* Club worlds at capacity will now be able to add ten club members above the normal capacity. No more getting locked out of your club events!
