Welcome Troopers, to the last State of the Nation for 2020!
And what a year it has been. Covid - 19 has sent us all back to our homes for safety, but from that was born many new and exciting initiatives including the Twitch Live streams, Community Challenges and more frequent State of the Nation updates!
This update, I have some questions that have come in specifically from the community that I would like to chat about. So let's dive in!
Status of Avalon and Silent Planet
In short, Avalon is coming.
Gabriel, our precursor Ally for Avalon is out in the wild with our first cycle of Gauntlet Season 9 winner having received the very first Gabriel! Soon after this, more of you will be able to Summon her using your Fragments. As we move into the new year you will see the very first events with featured characters and the prelude to the story of Avalon! I won't spoil any of the main characters that you are going to see, for now... But maybe you can make some guesses!
The Avalon release will be a multi month roll out with new events and characters frequently being introduced!
EDIT - I missed my line about Silent Planet.
Let's get Avalon released before we start talking about more areas of the game!
Awakening new characters - process of choosing which ones
The process of choosing new characters to Awaken is one that goes along with our events and dungeons. With the release schedule of specific events, the team try to pick correlating characters that could be deserving of the Awakening process! They also look at older Eddies and Allies that could do with a spring cleaning and take them into consideration.
With that information, have you any ideas of who the next Eddies or Allies that might be Awoken in the New Year?
Clan Raid Boss
The release of the 3rd Raid Boss is a greatly anticipated event and we want to make it the best it can be! And because the teams eyes are heavily fixed on Avalon, we do not have a release date for the 3rd Clan Raid boss but you are likely to see him mid to late 2021.
Some fun Stats
Here are some average stats that we looked up for the year!
19.1% of all users completed 50+ Arena Battles!
7.6% of all users who played in the Arena reached King V or higher!
There are on average 32,000 Lord of Light Frontier Dungeon keys opened per month.
The most popular keys (in order) from the store are: Eternal Dungeon, Mayan Dungeon and the Infernal Dungeon
General Bug and Q & A notes
Throughout the last few months, the team have been focusing their efforts on emergent issues as they arise. This includes design and the engineering team vying to keep a stable and enjoyable experience in game for everyone. So when you find a Talisman or Ability not working as it should, the team are on the issue as soon as they can!
During October we held a Q & A Stream on Twitch, of which you can find the Youtube video here if you haven't seen it yet! There have been requests to have this released in Document form, which we intend on doing as soon as possible ( I am aiming for next week), however time constraints have led to the delay of this being released.
At the beginning of December we encountered issues with overlapping ‘Grind’ events and the impact that they have on server stability and your ability to play the game. We understand how frustrating this was for players and we aim to keep working on stability, hopefully keeping these issues from cropping up again.
Some concept art
Time for some concept art! The Art team work tirelessly creating our Eddies, Allies and environments for Legacy of the Beast and it's only fair we share some of this!
Here is the last teaser of the Avalon content that we are releasing before the first Avalon event in the New Year!

These are the Fomorians! These reptilian humanoids are the beasts that are infesting the Isle of Avalon and it will be your job to help clear them out!
Upcoming Holiday Content
December is full of amazing events and we can't wait for you to experience them, there will be new and returning characters for you to collect, special Awakening materials, more giveaways and Advent gifts both on our Social pages and in game!
On December 17th we will be debuting the Christmas Dungeon where we will be returning to the writings of Dickens!
For more, check out our Christmas Trailer on YouTube here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYLqQF8oDCo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYLqQF8oDCo)
And to all a good night
That's it from me for the State of the Nation! I hope you made it to our year end Twitch Stream to see the dungeon and characters! Have a Happy Holidays and here's to a great 2021!
