Game Update - October 19th, 2017

New characters and new features have arrived along with a wealth of stability improvements.

New Feature: Satellite 15

Get rewards for free right from the Cosmos!

The outer reaches of space are hostile to most creatures, but for an Eternal like Eddie, there could be useful things to find. Satellite 15 represents a slow collecting of debris from the edges of space being filtered through and returned to the player as rewards. The rewards are typically a nominal amount of Gold, Shards, and Runes, but occasionally include Ironite, Talismans, or even Skill Shards!

Every 4 hours, one of the rings of Satellite 15 will collect a reward. Returning to the main HUB of the game any time after that allows you to claim a reward. A maximum of 2 “rings” of rewards can be banked (ie fills after 8 hours).

All players’ Satellite 15 starts with being able to collect just the most basic rewards, but quantities, rarities, and types of rewards improve as the player reaches higher player ranks. You can see a preview of rewards from Satellite 15 based on player rank by tapping the Satellite 15 button when there’s no reward to claim.

The feature is immediately available for all players. Its button is on the left side of the main HUB, under Cosmos/Time Rift and Skull Quests.

New Characters: The Witch Doctor and Mayan Priestesses!

New characters inspired by the Book of Souls album have been added to souls, including a limited time Ritual Soul!

Check out more info on these new characters, plus some limited time promotions around them, in the Dark Ritual event thread.

New Missions and Reward Character: Using Talismans + Earn Crimson Pharaoh Dog

We’ve added new Missions to the game centered around using different combinations of Talismans.

There’s also additional Achievements for completing Missions which reward Crimson Soul Fragments. Complete enough Missions to earn the 4 star Crimson Pharaoh Dog, which can provide Echo status effects to allies, Heal and Accuracy Up allies, and has a passive which lowers Accuracy of enemies at the start of combat!
