Asgard's Fall — Viking Survivors News

[h3]Hail, warriors![/h3][p][/p][p]It’s been a while since our last update, but we’re finally back with great news: the long-awaited Major Update is set to drop this week![/p][p]First and foremost, a massive thank you to all of you for your incredible support, your patience, and for sticking with us while we battled through some tough terrain (on more than just the battlefield). This update took longer than expected, and we want to be upfront: we ran into a handful of very tricky obstacles during the complete rework of the Warpaint system, and alongside the usual coding chaos, we also had to deal with a couple of health-related setbacks along the way. But we’re happy to say: we’re doing better, we’re back on track, and we’re still working our axes off to bring Asgard’s Fall to life.[/p][p]This upcoming update is a big one. The Warpaint system has been completely overhauled to offer deeper customization and even more brutal strategic options for your Viking runs. It’s all part of making every fall (and rise) in the Nine Realms even more thrilling.[/p][p]We’re really looking forward to dropping the update later this week and seeing what you think. Until then: sharpen your blades, ready your shields, and stay tuned.[/p][p][/p][h3]Thank you for being part of this journey.[/h3][p][/p][p]Skål!🍻[/p][p]— Max & Vitali | The Asgard’s Fall Team [/p][p][/p][p]

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!🍻

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!🍻

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!

Skål!
