Mist Legacy News

Our most requested feature was a way to quickly change your clothes depending on what you are doing. We are very happy to introduce you to our wardrobe. You will be able to create sets of adventure gears as well as style sets for your character. Shortcuts will allow you equip, unequip, store and retrieve your set from your coffer.

Check out the changelog for other surprises!

Greetings Mistwalkers!

First, we want to wish you a wonderful 2022.

We want to give you a quick overview of where we are heading with the game. As you know, we are in Early Access. This mean we need to complete the game and we aim to reach the release milestone this year. We will skip the "continuous task" in this roadmap (balancing, bug fixing, optimization, etc.) and focus mainly on the major missing components of the game.

[h3]Reputation[/h3]
There are four guilds/cities that are late in their reputation progress. Making them at the same level as the others will be our first target. Having all reputation increased will give us what we need to restart working on the main storyline and the sandbox content.

• Gantras.
  
• Protector of the Rose.
  
• Thorval.
  
• Order of the Hippogriff.
  

[h3]Sandbox content[/h3]
This content may or may not be linked to any story-driven content and will affect all your maximum capacity and what you can do in your domain.

• Potions and jewel will be improved.
  
• Two new carts type.
  
• All skills will need to reach 25 (50 with bonus).
  
• New regions up to 50 difficulty.
  
• Specialized crafting buildings.
  
• New tools and machines.
  
• Magic Weapons crafting.
  
• Magic Armor crafting (hide, bone and plate).
  
• Magic Shields.
  
• New hosting building based on prestige (specialists).
  
• New taming building based on security (beasts).
  
• New bosses.
  
• All skills will need to reach 60.
  
• Introduction to level 5 materials.
  

[h3]Main Story[/h3]
So far, you have only seen a tiny fraction of the main story of the game, we wanted to have the foundation of the game solid before getting in this storytelling. We won't tell you much today so we can keep our adventure secret. But you need to know that we are currently at the end of chapter one and we need to get to at least chapter 5 to consider that game releasable. Our main story will get to chapter 10 on the current map (the province of Ordval) before we need to get a bigger map.

The main story will unlock and upgrade golden companions. Everything related to the Mists also comes from the main storyline, including the Mistwalker reputation.

[h3]Engine[/h3]
The engine part of the game will have its own evolution, it won't wait for the main story or for the sandbox content to evolve. Here is what we will be working on starting today. The three last one is the big ones, we needed the game to reach a certain state before working on them. Now is the time.

• Wardrobe
  
• A new feature to have encounters on the map linked to a scenario.
  
• A new dynamic gameplay engine allowing "infinite" content (more on that later).
  
• Revisit the current PVP engine and find ways to improve it.
  
• Guilds.
  

[h3]Around the game[/h3]
Before we can get out of the early access status, there is also a lot of thing we need to improve that are not the game itself.

• We need text tools and text reviewers.
  
• The translation engine need to be ready for all languages.
  
• We need a test server and official testers.
  
• Moderation tools need to be improved.
  
• In game chat, Discord and Steam Hub need an official community manager (IE: not Falkarma and Sicklab).
  
• Bot, Cheat, Alts detectors need to be improved.
  
• Character transfer need to be looked into again.
  

[h3]Conclusion[/h3]
This concludes our roadmap. Remember that this is our general planning, we may remove some of the elements or add a few surprises here and there.

Thanks again for playing!

Greetings,

Today we are releasing our last content update of 2021.

On the content side, you'll be able to progress with the Circle of the Great tree and with the Arcanists to get new spells for damage and heal. We also got a lot of cool changes in the game engine related to gathering, fighting and getting landform skill. Check out the changelog for more details.

The biggest change today has to do with the game shop. We got lots of comments about how you can form a party in the game and how it is perceived by new players. To improve the game experiences, the first thing we did is to create a dedicated slot for the carts. It means that a new player can now have two companions and a cart. This will improve a lot the experience of everyone and make the game much easier for players who want to play solo.

The second major change we did on the market is to lower the price of the second companion’s slot, making it more accessible for everyone will improve the balance of the game. Everyone that already purchased it will be reimbursed 400 Blue Crowns.

To make sure our system is understood, we changed the presentation of the game shop. Now you will find a dedicated page for the unlocks and Scissana will give you hints about each purchasable item. We hope this page will make our monetization system much more understandable and remove the "surprise effect" that our old system generated.

The team will take a short break for next week. It will be a good time for us to take a step back and think about all that we will have to do in 2022.

Thanks a lot to all our players, we could not do it without you!

You get up from your bed with a strange feeling. The lighting is not the same, everything is brighter. You approach the window and you understand what is going on. The Windchill has started, winter has fallen on Valsonge and the Mists. To your surprise, the lands of Ordval do not yet appear to be affected by the Windchill. What does it mean? Is this a clue about your domain's position in relation to Kortombe? Or maybe the seasons of the world outside the Mists are in no way related to those of your native land?

This new change of season brings you more questions than answers on the temporal and geographical links between Mists and Myriaden. You will need all your courage to continue your exploration in this cold weather. Luckily for you, Scissanna has a good supply of supon for the fireplace and Ovie will be able to stay warm inside the mansion.

Greetings,

Today update is massive in scale. We needed to increase your playground, both in territories and skill caps, for our future content updates. For our players that have been with us for a while, it should give you back the feeling of progressing in the game, with skill that needs to be raised, recipe that needs to be found, new regions to discover and buildings to upgrade. For new players, the game progression will be much more natural as you should not hit a hard cap on skills. See the release note below for more details.

What's on our task list next? We are preparing a special release for next week and we need to take some time to analyze the many comments you sent us. We will be looking for changes that are needed in the core of the game to make sure our foundations are solid.

You can expect that we will reach the next level of all reputation caps that are late (Circle, Rose, Hippogriff, Gantras and Thorval) before 2022. This mean we will start the new year with all we need to get the game to the next step.

We are entering today our last week of our "Portal Pioneer" event. It means this is your last chance to get the exclusive character frame that will show that you are an early adopter of the game.

Thank you for playing!
Virtys
