Realmers!

We got a lot of messages asking us when we will release the next showcase for our upcoming weapons. That time has now come!
Last time we showed you the Dual Blades, Tachi and tthe Flail. We are following this up with the Longbow, Spellblade and the Morning Star! Once again we have some small videos for you all to enjoy. Let us know what you think, but keep in mind that the weapon types are a work in progress and always up for changes.

Check the blog for all the details!

Realmers.

After showing all of you the new Weapon Types we are working on, it is time for another update in Realm. This one is all about fixes to some pesky problems in the game. From fixes for our dungeon modifiers in certain situations to The Killer Bee Queen losing her favorite Aprils Fools Sprite. We got you covered.

You can also have a look at our upcoming events, with the Reconstruction Event running wild now!

What changes:

[h3]Dungeon Modifiers
[/h3]

• We have fixed an edge case in the game files where some enemies didn’t apply some dungeon mods correctly, like XP modifiers. This bug affected only minions and only some of them.
  
• We have fixed a bug where some dungeon mods had problems when rerolled and they would appear with a lot less frequency than intended when the key was rerolled, even if being compatible with the key.
  

[h3]Fixes:
[/h3]

• The Killer Bee Queen has still had her April fools sprite active. She is now back to her original beauty.
  
• The Tidal Wave Kensei skin’s dye mask is no longer showing black squares.
  
• The Playful Bunny Pet Skin now has its shadow directly under itself when attacking.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused an effect to linger indefinitely if a user got hit by an AoE status effect while invulnerable
  
• Fixed a bug that caused vault rollback when vaulting multiple modded keys
  
• Removed the delay that happened when a player selected Knight, equipped Crystal Shield, and held the ability button to trigger "Invulnerability on self".
  
• Fixed a visual bug that gave the impression to the player that if he bought a pack that had a purchase limit and immediately reopened the shop, the limit would be reset.
  
• Other changes:
  
• The Spring Nexus is active but this time around with Reconstruction decorations.
  
• Class Mystery Skins no longer show a list of possible drops, which was inaccurate. They now show: "Grants a random Skin for this class when used".
  
• 
  

Constructive Realmers,

The 3rd iteration of Into Shards and Pieces is in full swing! Make sure you have a look at our previous announcement to take part in the activities.

Summer is almost upon us, and the time for public works is nigh. The annual inspection of the Realm’s Reconstruction projects is at hand, and construction crews are en route to the Snake Pit, Undead Lair and Deadwater Docks to inspect their handiwork. They will also be scouting potential new locations along the way for renovation! Join the crew, gather Bricks and build together.

The Reconstruction Redux event starts on May 17 and will end on May 31. It will have the following components:


Find out more about the event on our blog post.

Realmers!

Today we are going to share with you some information regarding our new weapon subtypes. They are going to be introduced into the game later this year. We prepared six different ones for all of you guys to enjoy. Here are three of them. The other part will be showcased soon, so stay tuned. We are beginning our journey into the subtypes with the Dual Blades followed by the Tachi and ending with the Flail.

All new Subtypes come in 2 versions. The Tiered weapon and the UT. The playstyle vastly differs depending on the type you are using.

Please keep in mind that all showcased weapons are still a work in progress and up to potential changes.

You can have a look at the new types with videos on our Blog!

Dual Blades (Dagger Subtype):

Tiered: Dual Blades fire two shots slightly offset from the center (but still close enough together to hit the same target). Overall higher dps for decreased range and increased required accuracy when compared to normal daggers

UT: The “Fractal Blades” have the base shots pierce and at the halfway point and end of the blades range they split into two additional non-piercing projectiles adding more damage for spacing at either of those points.

Tachi (Katana Subtype):

Tiered: Crossing blades shoot two shots offset to the sides and in front of the player, these shots are angled inwards to cross each other at a specified range in front of the player. Crossing blades provide highly increased damage with the downside of requiring much better positioning which can’t be circumvented by getting close enough to an enemy.

UT: The “Memory of the Fallen” crossing blades have a shot pattern that switches every few seconds, this changes the hit zone from a smaller one to a longer one.

Flail (Sword Subtype):

Tiered: Flails fire a chain of 3 projectiles each with a different range, all of which will boomerang back to the player at the same time, creating a chain like effect similar to the Soul Cursed Scythe dagger. Flails aim to provide a piercing tool for melee players that are usually lacking them, this is balanced by the slow fire rate of the weapon as well as the difficulty in hitting all the projectiles.

UT: The “Barnacle Basher” fires a longer chain headed by an anchor, this flail is even slower than usual but does massive damage when hitting the endpoint.

We hope you enjoy the first glance at our upcoming weapons. We are looking forward to your first feedback!
