Realm of the Mad God Exalt News

A STory of War VII

When the voice of the earth meets the gales of the skies, the relics of two bygone civilizations reveal themselves throughout the realm. The Earthen Bulwark demonstrates the otherwise extinct power of the earth mages. The unseemly secrets of their ways lend a stoic and creatively defensive way of life.

The Storm Caller, wreathed in the thunderous embrace of the wind’s will, bends only to the way of song. Its frigid fury characterizes the swift and lethal judgment of the shrouded wind spirits. There’s a certain irony to these two nebulous forces manifesting their legacies together, as their histories are more intertwined than either side would like to acknowledge. Perhaps there is more to learn from the artifacts themselves, should they meet in conflict once again.



Realmers,
The Bonus Program is a time-limited event that can be accessed in the Shop. It allows players to collect Bonus Points with gold they spend in the Shop (or by directly boosting it via the Boost button) and claim Bonus Rewards. You can collect BP by purchasing Mystery Boxes, Packages, and Items in the Nexus and Grand Bazaar areas with Realm gold.

Please note that slot unlockers and name changing do not count for the bonus program. Fame purchases do not count, either.

Just like with “Story of War VI”, Avarice Medallions will have an option to reward the Mini Skin, and in two neat quests at the Tinkerer, you’ll be able to swap a duplicate mini skin for a new Mystery ST Crate of the same class.

Start:
November, 18th, at 12PM UTC
End: December, 6th, at 12PM UTC
Grace Period: until December, 9th, 12 PM UTC
Quests at the Tinkerer: until December, 9th, 12 PM UTC

Here are the new ST Sets, check them out!

[h3]Events[/h3]

As is tradition during War STories, the drop locations of the previous ST sets for the classes featured will host loot (and XP) increase events.

From November 18, 12 PM UTC until November 22, 12 PM UTC these will be Mad Lab and High Tech Terror, where you may try your hand at getting the Scientific Summoner ST set.

From November 25, 12 PM UTC until November 29, 12 PM UTC Oryx’s Sanctuary will be free to access and the Sanctuary itself will grant 1.5x the loot and XP, giving you a better chance at the Angelic Bard set… among other things.
That weekend also happens to coincide with Thanksgiving, so to celebrate, The Appetizer will be spawning in Realm and dropping a Thanksgiving menu:
  • Cranberries
  • Ear of Corn
  • Sliced Yam
  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Thanksgiving Turkey


[h3]Polls[/h3]
There are currently two active polls, both on Reddit and Discord, that we would like you to answer. The questions are:
How would you feel about an increase to your maximum health at the cost of your overall regeneration, allowing you to take more damage before death, but recover slower?”
How would you feel about VIT and WIS regen being buffed to more relevancy at the cost of the relative strength of pet regeneration?
To answer on Reddit, go here and here. For Discord, please do it in the Deca_polls channel.

Release Notes 2.1.1.0 - Dungeon Mods optimization



Hello Realmers,
With today’s update, we bring you the brand new Storm Caller Bard and Earthen Bulwark Summoner ST sets, optimize Dungeon Mods, tweak Shatters and fix many other issues. Read on!
[h3]
New ST Sets[/h3]
  • Added Storm Caller Bard ST Set and Earthen Bulwark Summoner ST Set (More about that on tomorrow’s post!).

[h3]Dungeon Mods[/h3]
  • Reenabled Noble Boss Dungeon Mod.
  • Fixed Bis, Prisimimic and other Dungeon Mods that were not working on the Mad God Mayhem dungeon.
  • Fixed usability bugs related to Dungeon Mods applied to the Mad God Mayhem dungeon.
  • Fixed a bug on Mad God Mayhem key not able to be refined.
  • Fixed an issue with a few mods not working in the Machine Dungeon
  • Fixed the XP Boost (Minions) bug not working correctly on Cave of a Thousand Treasures.
  • Court of Oryx won’t spawn with Dungeon Mods naturally. However, the CoO dungeon keys can have Dungeon Mods.
  • Dungeon Mod “Guaranteed Stat Potion” won’t work with “minibosses” in Candyland Hunting Grounds, only with the final boss.
  • This same Dungeon Mod “Guaranteed Stat Potion” will however now guarantee Mystery Stat Potions alongside regular Stat Potions, if the boss normally dropped any.
  • Optimized Dungeon Mods.


Note: We are preparing more revisions of the Dungeon Mod system, including new functionalities that go beyond numerical value changes, biased towards more significant and customized changes that will make the system more significant and tweak the risk/reward factor of each dungeon by playing with real, tangible gameplay changes. However, this system is still not ready and we have decided on improving the existing distribution for this update while we work on these new Dungeon Modifiers. We’ll keep you updated but please know the team is very enthusiastic about your feedback and suggestions for new/improved mods.

Maggie: “snake pits were too dangerous to enter”



It’s Thursday! It’s also fall in the northern hemisphere. Meet the author of some amazing artwork: Maggie! And check the end of the post to see when you can also meet the Pumpkin Master.

Nationality and Age?
Hello! I am Maggie! I hail from the United States and currently live in the 45th worst state (guess which one!) I recently turned 21 in July.

What is your day job? Tell us about it.
I am a College Student studying computer science with a minor in art history and game design! I am a very bad student and actively neglecting my classwork to write this interview.

Any hidden talents or hobbies?
I can do anything you ask me extremely poorly, unless I know how to do it.
No but actually I love baking, I'm bad at it but I still love to do it. My massive sweet tooth forces me to create sweet things, and then I'll become a sweeter person!
I can vaguely program and have participated in 2 game jams and am currently working on a cool game with my friend.
My other secret hobby is creating digital tournaments of my friend's original monster creations using a custom built engine. (I will not elaborate further.)

I'm also very good at making friends. In fact, the person reading this right now is now my friend !!!


Read the rest of the interview on the blog!

Totalia and Schematics


Hello Realmers,

With today’s small update we bring two changes:
First, Totalia was spawning in a rather unintended way - she will now spawn 3 times 10 minutes after Realm creation.

Better news second, we have made some balance changes to the Schematic system. They will now be guaranteed to drop for one player from The Forgotten King and two from Oryx 3 and their drop rates have been increased from The Bridge Sentinel, The Twilight Archmage, Marble Colossus, Malus, the Void Entity, the Killer Bee Queen, the Beekeeper, Crystal Worm Mother and the Crystal Entity].

The Schematic system was not intended by us to be a dedicated grind, but rather a thing that one accumulates on the side while doing Exaltation dungeons. The blueprints one can acquire from this system are meant to rotate back around at a moderate pace (not too quick so one is gripped by the fear of missing out, yet not too slow so if you miss a Blueprint, you’d not need to wait for a long time for it to return).

As you can see, we are still tweaking the system, so keep the feedback coming - feel free to drop a comment at the blog!

Update 2.1.0.0 - Halloween


[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Spooky Realmers,
Halloween is one of our favorite seasons of the year and we wanted to give you something special. While the development team has been dedicating their time to fixing bugs and making the game more secure for you, the LiveOps team worked hard to bring you the new Bazaar and some exciting Campaign, Events, Quests and spooky ST reskins!

The Grand Bazaar
Not only dungeons get reconstructed. We are very pleased to announce that the old Cloth Bazaar was completely remodeled and expanded to fit its new grandeur, it’s now called the Grand Bazaar! We want to encourage you to use this space for trading or simply hang out. Now you will find sections for pets (with food, eggs, and pet skins); blacksmith (ores, nilshards, and blueprints); cosmetics (character skins, dyes, and cloths); rings, and one section for each class. We know that some of you like to meet in the Bazaar with your friends to open your favorite dungeons, so we made 4 thematic rooms that were designed just with this purpose. Give it a try!

Check out the complete release notes at the blog.
