Leviathan and team - thanks for the preview into 2018! A lot of really exciting things to look forward to. Relics will add a cool new dimension to the game, and the different game modes are sounding quite intriguing on paper. I've always been a fan of encouraging roster depth. And, having new ways to interact with this awesome community will be great!
Looking forward to 2018!
Okay.. given all that stuff .. I will shut the F up....
It seemed that all there was were monthly events after monthly events followed by a monthly event. I'm so glad there's more going on. I will wait with twitchy fingers.

Many thanks for the update, Leviathan!
It's a shame time passes too damn slowly, I'm really fucking eager to get to play all of this in the near future. 2018 is shaping up to be a nice year for the game, it seems. Thanks for the update, NF! Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much Leviathan for this update! Looking very forward to those upcoming features and new contents. Sounds great! I really think this will be a great 2018 for this game and all us Maiden fans out there!
UP THE IRONS! \m/
Glad you listened to my idea for a gauntlet mode. Clearly that idea would never have happened if I hadn’t posted about it. ;) Looking forward to that game mode and nearly everything else!
Not so much guilds.
Sounds like a lot to look forward to. Thanks for the update and glimpse and what's to come.
It was refreshing to read that list, I look forward to those updates! Im pretty excited for Silent planet the most, but also night city and the new characters. and the relic system seems pretty cool as well!
This sounds great. Can’t wait to play it. Thanks devs.
Sounds really exciting - and ambitious. Looking forward to all of it.
Hopefully they can release at least one new mode, world, or feature per quarter to keep things fresh going forward.
SoT are ridiculously low, I hope this is gonna change with the new worlds or modes when they start coming up, if SoT are kept the same I expect to see a lot of rants about it.
Looks like a lot of really cool stuff on the horizon! :cool:
I still suspect that Night City is just a myth invented to frighten children, and will never actually be real, but I have high hopes for the rest of it! ;)
Thanks for the info Leviathan. Lots to look forward to.
I am thinking the rants going to come from the gauntlet mode. Now we have to be a little more wary of any of the dupes we decide to sacrifice they just may come in handy now.
Don’t get me wrong though I love the idea and will be keeping a deep roster just for this.
Good thing we have 300 character slots now to keep all those dupes. Well unless I can beat the game with my pocket hourglassesQuote:

where is that Leviathan info?I can find post ot thread,can someone post link?
Here you go!Quote:

Cheers!!! Ed.
Yup, I’m debating whether I shouls actually Sacrafice my dupe VHE now.Quote:

that's the key question. will 2 VHEs be usefull? the devs should tell us their plans before the next sacrifice event, otherwise there will be good reasons to rant.Quote:

I don't have anymore info than anyone else, but when the devs expand the character slots to 300, it really hints that you should hang onto your useful dupes. I've also seen a huge increase in drops of toons that have the Block passive. I've been saving them all up, since the game tends to drop toons that you'll need in the near future. Like when new missions come out, you always seem to pull the lower toons that have the exact skillset you'll need to complete a mission.Quote:

Yup. Would be very handy to know how Gauntlet works before the next Sacrifice event.Quote:

Can Troopers be used in it?
If you get defeated do the toons you used become unusable or can they be used again to try and clear it and they only become unusable once that level is cleared? Silly if it’s the latter.
If it is like every game mode and you have to use an Eddie than dupes could become a necessity for some. Say we have 20 Levels to clear. Not everyone might have 20 individual Eddies. Dupes would be needed for people to finish it. If it was 30 Levels, I would need Dupes as I only have 24 Eddies
And if Eddies have to be used, then it doesn’t matter how deep your roster is. How many Eddies you have becomes more important.
That being said, I am really looking forward to this game mode. Sonething I’ve wanted for a while!
Hoping the devs can answer some of these questions soon. Even if the answers are slightly veiled to have some secrecy with these new features, but if they don’t give some sort of hint I can see a lot of sacrifice events having a lack luster response. Which is really a shame since I think sacrifice is one of the best features in the game.
We are still working out the specifics of some of these issues in playtesting, so it's too early to comment on the exact format at the moment. The mode will launch in a beta stage in the not too distant future and so we'll be able to comment more on the final format and structure then.Quote:

I'd be happy to be a beta tester if I can. It would actually give me something fun to do.
I'm with Amarthir on this one. I would love to be a beta tester, if I am allowed. :)
Fear not! Most assuredly they shall extend the testing to forum members first. I mean... they'd Beta. (See what I did there? :cool: )
Hah! My soft spot for bad/cheesy puns is showing.Quote:

last time it was canada and some forum mofos. since we are pretty vocal here it we dumb to exclude us, so if you want to increase your beta testing chances start to spam the forums from now on :P
Nekro... consider yourself officially summoned... :D
Or we can cheat our way in the beta testing by using VPN app to open LOTB...;)
true this worked too last time :D :D :DQuote:

I think letting some of the early players of the game test the new beta would be a nice touch:cool:
If that severely complicates things though, I would rather not be a tester and get the mode sooner.
Yes, absolutely! NF bring in The beta for forum members! Nobody can test it better 😉
Great to know. I assumed info would come in due course when you are ready. Nice to know it’s in the not too distant future.Quote:
