Updates From The News Frontier - February 6th, 2020

[Durandal_LOTB]

Up the Irons, Troopers - it’s time for your latest update from the News Frontier!

Without hesitation, February has already brought upon an explosive series of wicked new activities to partake in. Whether it’s new events, cool new characters or beautiful dungeons, we’ve got you covered.

Without further ado, let’s dive right in to this week in review! (Hey, that rhymed!)



Doomsday Apocalypse Now

Lighting the fuse for February was our new Mega Event: Operation Midnight. Based on player feedback, we wanted to explore more interesting and thematic ways to earn cool new characters through active participation instead of relying on luck alone. By completing various event challenges during Operation Midnight, you can earn enough Explosive Soul Fragments to net you the very wicked Doomsday Apocalypse Eddie and a few other sweet goodies to boot.

To feature monthly events with accessible long-term goals is something we’re interested in exploring further. If you like this new format of “mini” mega events, or if you have ideas for ways which we could improve this type of content, please share your thoughts and ideas! Your feedback goes a long way - longer than most might think.

I Aint Got Time To Bleed

February has also ushered in the kickoff for Gauntlet Season 6 - featuring the weaponized warrior, The Mercenary. We absolutely loved your feedback regarding the little teaser we shared leading up to him in the previous weekly update. It’s something we may choose to explore again in other unique ways in the future.



With unique animations and visual effects that compliment his deadly arsenal of abilities, his enemies will have to think carefully about tiptoeing around his reliable Perfect Vanish and Golden Trap effects. With The Mercenary on your team, you’ll want to include talismans and allies who can reliably remove Immunity effects so that he can successfully hunt, draw blood and execute his targets. With the Merc in the fray, you’ll have to kill to stay alive.

If you haven’t already, be sure to check out his reveal video and compendium character profile. As added information, this warrior class character features 3 red talismans slots.

Nature’s Wrath Cached Rewards

During the debut of our Book of Souls event, Nature’s Wrath, players had been quick to discover that some of their soul-opening challenge rewards, including the Catastrophic Soul Fragment event currency and the Explosive Soul Fragment mega event currency, had been failing to appear on their devices.

While all these rewards have been correctly depositing into player accounts, a data caching bug had been causing unnecessary delays. The team quickly resolved this for players who had yet to start these challenges by releasing a patch early Tuesday morning. For those affected, you should see your previously missing challenge rewards upon completing other, non-soul related challenges such as the “inflict” challenges.

Samurai Showdown: Beast Meets West

Also featured this week is the return of the very beautiful Samurai Frontier Dungeon. With your feedback in mind, we have included a highly accessible challenge to net you some Samurai Frontier Key Souls to help get your foot in the door. We’ve heard many positive things about this dungeon content so far so we’re happy to see that players are enjoying their clash against the mighty shogun, Samurai Emperor Eddie.

After the introductory event is over, the Samurai Frontier Key will later find its home in the Frontier Store to be purchased at your leisure if you’ve got some achievements left to conquer.

Get your entries in before the opportunity flies away. Get it?

That’s all for me to report this week. It’s been a pleasure. Ceeg is away today, so this has been my first opportunity to write an entry in the News Frontier. He’ll be back again next week to keep you fine folks informed. Hopefully I’ll find an opportunity to strike back with another fun edition of “Weekend Warrior” sometime soon.

For any feedback, ideas, thoughts and so on regarding anything above or otherwise, give us a shout in the comment section below.

Cheers to the weekend,
