🛡️ Dev Update – A Sign from the Halls of Asgard 🛡️

Warriors!

We’re sending out a vital sign from the dev forge to let you know: we’re still here, hammering away—just a bit deeper in the code mines than expected.

We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting the major update originally planned for May, and we’re truly sorry for the delay. As you may know, this update includes a complete overhaul of the Warpaint system, and that journey turned out to be more treacherous than we anticipated.

Digging into the ancient foundations of the Warpaint and Rune systems, we realized that parts of the old code simply couldn’t keep up with our ambitions. So, we took a deep breath… and rewrote entire parts of the system from scratch. It’s a bold move, but one we believe is necessary to deliver the experience you deserve. Also enabling us to shape future updates based on these systems to be even better.

To show you we’re not just stuck in the Bifröst, here’s a short sneak peek of the new Warpaint UI and some freshly reforged Runes in action! 📽️

We’re working hard—and fast—to finish what we started. While we can't give you an exact date just yet, the update is taking shape rapidly and we hope to have it release-ready very soon.

Thank you for your patience, your feedback, and your continued support. Your belief in Asgard’s Fall keeps our hammers swinging and our mead mugs full. 🖤

Skål!🍻

👀A Glimpse into the Next Major Update👀

Fellow Vikings!

Here we are with a first look at the upcoming major update for Asgard’s Fall! One of the headline changes is a full overhaul of the Warpaint system, with a ton of long-requested improvements and fresh mechanics that will shake up how you build and customize your characters.

[h3]Inventory Gets a Makeover[/h3]
Warpaints now live side by side with your inventory, and managing your gear just got a whole lot smoother:

Inventory now displayed right next to your Warpaint
Filtering & sorting options for easier navigation
Bigger inventory with multiple pages
Mass dematerializing for faster cleanup
Lock specific items to avoid accidents
Build loadouts unique to each character
See active Warpaint effects at a glance

Here's a scribble of the new inventory management menu for Warpaints:

[h3]Warpaint Runes – New Structure, New Power[/h3]
Warpaint recipes are gone—all their effects are now baked right into the Runes themselves. This new system is all about flexibility and surprise:

Warpaints come in rarity tiers: Common, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, and Unique
Each tier offers a different number of random stat bonuses
Example: Common = 2 stats, Mythic = 4 stats

Unique Runes feature an exclusive bonus effect that’s one-of-a-kind!
The world pigment drops will also change in this respect, as the new pigments will then drop.

Check out the graphic below for a breakdown of rune rarities and stats!

[h3]Pigments and Crafting – What’s Next?[/h3]
Pigments will also evolve alongside this update. Any pigments in your inventory will likely be converted automatically.

However, full Warpaint crafting is planned for a future update, as it's still under development and not ready for testing just yet.

[h3]That’s all for now![/h3]
The major update is dropping very soon, and we can’t wait to share it with you. We're also working on community beta branches to give you earlier access and more opportunities to shape each update as it grows together.

Stay sharp, warriors—and keep those brushes ready. The battlefield's about to get a lot more colorful.

Skål!🍻

⚒️ A Few Small Fixes from the Forge! ⚒️

Hey Vikings!

We’re back with a small but mighty update that improves your journey through the realms of Asgard’s Fall. With a few tweaks to prevent accidental clicks, some added clarity to your stats, and fixes to cloud save and ability issues, this patch should smooth out your raid prep just a little more.

Here’s what’s new:

A 1.5 second input delay after leveling up to prevent accidental upgrade selections. No more misclicks mid-battle!
Stat descriptions to the Web of Wyrd node tooltips for better insight into your build choices.
An Ability Opacity Slider in the options menu—tweak the visuals to your liking!

Legendary Warpaints now always have at least Tier 2 stats to make them feel truly epic.
Increased the overall chance of rolling higher-tier stats on all Warpaints.

Resolved a cloud save issue where Seidr-Tree points didn’t match the actual player level. Resetting the tree now properly grants matching points.
Fixed a bug where forged abilities wouldn’t spawn as intended.

As always, thank you for your continued feedback and support! More updates are already brewing in the cauldron—so stay tuned, and keep slaying.

And one last thing: We’ll be sharing some in-depth details about the upcoming Warpaint system rework very soon—so keep your eyes peeled, warriors!
