Mist Legacy News

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!

Greetings!

Welcome to the Minotroll update. As part of our weekly topic on long-term gameplay, we are testing a few things about grinding and also how to avoid it. The update offers plenty of challenges that are not all required to reach your goal to get to the new reputation level for the Claw and to get the new warehouse. There are also a few secret challenges that you should search for.

Keep in mind that some of the challenges for this week should normally be a bit harder than usual because next week update should unlock a lot of new talents, skills and crafts. That's the fun of playing an Early Access!

A major change in the game engine is the removal of the "Fight" button. This button was breaking many of the gameplay elements and was dangerous for new players. We finally got the time to work on the features we always wanted to have, a button that emulates travel and will offer you fights based on presence ratios and special conditions to appear.

Check out the release notes below for more detail about what to expect.

Thank you for playing!

We are releasing today our first content update of the Early Access! This update focus on the guild of the Lunar Caravan and will allow you to get to the next rank in the guild. The update offers what we call a personal quest to evolve and learn more about Finn, your first golden human companion. Personnal quests are made to give a more in dept immersion with the characters you meet in the game.

Future content update will vary a lot in style, some will focus on sandbox gameplay, some will focus on long-time challenges and some, like this one, will focus on making the world and its inhabitants more alive.

We hope you will like it!

Greetings Mistwalkers!

We are now reaching the end of our first month in the Early Access! Thanks a lot for playing the game with us. The team had a lot of fun working with you all and our many discussions had us thinking a lot on how we can improve the game.

Today, we deliver on one of our promises we made in the early days: The repair system is no longer monetized and is now part of the game mechanics. A new game item, the Mistglass, will allow players to repair any items, even non-crafted one. Items, once repaired, will be bound to your character. Mistglasses are obtainable from quests, big challenges and from Leonidas. Our opinion on repair is still the same from the start: This is a luxury move that should be applied only to your best items that you wish to keep for a long time.

We also removed the four timed buffs from the shop. These buffs were controversial and trapped players to play a certain way. No proposed solutions seem to make any consensus, so it’s better to just get rid of them. But fear not, the Lamden Infusion, the most used buff, is now added to the perks of having the supporter status. You can get the supporter status when you buy any of the blue crown packs.

Following that change, we are thrilled to announce the morphing of the game shop to include cosmetic items like player frames, epic styles, rare pets and more. These items, along with our existing unlockable features, will result in a balanced and fun monetization.

Alright, beside our game shop, we promised you a roadmap. We had lots of talks in the team on how we could give you a constant feed of content so you don't have to wait for many weeks. We think we have a cool concept. Instead of major updates, we will try to give you weekly content updates. This should be doable by focusing on very specific features then releasing it. Starting next week, we will announce at the start of the week what we are working on, chat a bit about it on Discord, and we will normally have an update by the end of the week. As an example, we could say on Monday: "This week we will get the Arcanists reputation to 25.”

Again, thank you for being part of our community and helping us shape a better game. We really hope these changes will please you. Make sure you spread the news to your friends that did not like the first version of our game shop.

See you in the game,
Virtys
