Game Update - November 14th 2016

[Sparton_LOTB]

There’s a mix of stability improvements and tuning changes this update, but the tuning changes are fairly far-reaching and in many cases specifically requested by players.

Campaign and Dungeon Tuning

• Increased the amount and frequency of 1 star/2 star coloured evo runes that drop in Madness difficulty (Kingdom of the Sands, Battlefield, Underworld)
• Increased the amount and frequency of 1 star coloured evo runes that drop in Hard difficulty (Kingdom of the Sands, Battlefield, Underworld)
• For all secret locations, evo runes are guaranteed to drop
• For all secret locations, evo shards are more likely to drop (in addition to being able to get them at the same time as evo runes)
• Reduced the amount of colourless evo shards in dungeons (as people’s play patterns allow for sufficient gain of colourless from the campaign)
• Greatly increased the frequency of 3 star coloured evo shards in all dungeons (floors 7 to 10 only)

Character Tuning



Other Tuning

• Reduced the evo requirement for evolving a 3 star talisman to require 1 star coloured evo runes x3 (down from x6)
• Reduced the evo requirements for evolving a 4 star talisman to require 2 star coloured evo runes x3 (down from x9)
• NOV 15TH EDIT: You can now expand your character and talisman inventories a further 25 spaces (up to 125 character capacity and 200 talisman capacity).

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an common case where evolving and powering up talismans and/or characters multiple times in one sitting would cause “Inventory Not Saved” to appear when leaving the My Team screen (however, see "Known Issues" below)
• Fixed a performance issue where framerate would randomly drop for a period of time
• Fixed an issue where store items would not always yield the souls they should give
• Fixed an issue where a purchase failure could cause the store to become blank
• Various other performance fixes

Known Issues

• The Burning Talisman set effect still only applies one burn (instead of up to 3)
• NOV 15TH EDIT: The "Inventory Not Saved" problem may still occur under extremely long sessions of managing talismans/characters in the My Team screen (1 hour or more of management, possibly).
• NOV 15TH 2ND EDIT: There are some cases where the achievements tracking earned 4 star or 5 star characters may miss a character

Great update. hopefully it works as intended

Again the only thing that i just care now, more char slots is not implemented in this update. Seriously, it is the main thing that must be fixed.

I assure you, I'm on a lot of peoples asses over this subject. I've visually confirmed this working when we're QAing this, so there's something about how the live game is set up where changes are not going through, and we're not sure why.

Thank you for the update and thank you for pursuing the inventory expansion, which is critical for the benefit of player and vendor alike.

It would have been nice to see an increase in 2* and 3* rainbow evo runes at top levels of BF and UW maps. Yes, they exist, but one character needs 36 2* rainbow runes to transition from three star talismans to four star, and another 54 3* runes to transition to five star. I am not clear from the description if 'rainbow' runes fall in line with 'colored' runes and have been increased, or if they are separate from colored runes and the same drop rates are maintained.
