Devlog #60 - Guild Warfare

[p]You do not need to be in a Guild to participate in Guild Warfare! However, joining a Guild gives you the opportunity to dominate Guild Warfare zones and earn Guild-wide bonuses.[/p][p]Guild Warfare runs on a weekly schedule.[/p][p]The first week of Guild Warfare will start at:
Friday, Jan 30 @ 4:00 PM PST[/p][p]It will end at:
Friday, Feb 6 @ 4:00 PM[/p][p]During this week, all players will have access to the first Guild Warfare dungeons. Enemies in Guild Warfare dungeons grant Guild Warfare XP. Players who are in a Guild will contribute this XP toward their Guild’s Guild Warfare level. The Guild with the highest Guild Warfare level will dominate the currently active Guild Warfare zones.[/p][p]At the end of the active week, the Guild with the highest Guild Warfare level will dominate the current Guild Warfare zones for one week. During the following dominated week, these zones will be locked and cannot be entered. The active phase will then reopen the next week, allowing Guilds to compete again for domination.[/p][p]Dominating a set of Guild Warfare dungeons will grant Guild wide bonuses. These bonuses can include XP Bonus, Faction XP Bonus, Coin Drop Bonus, and Stat Point Bonus.[/p][p]The first set of Guild Warfare dungeons includes Crablands Easy, Medium, and Hard.[/p][p]Now let's talk about the Guild Warfare Hub and Crablands Dungeon!

The Guild Warfare Hub was designed as a physical gathering space where guild members can meet up before diving into the Guild Warfare Dungeon. The hub allows us to centralize all things that go on with Guild Warfare and the dungeons including Guild Warfare Leaderboard, Guild Warfare Player Leaderboard, Weekly Dungeon quests, and Crafters. Overtime, we can add more dungeon entrances, quests, crafters, etc to really bring this area to life![/p][p][/p][p]The Crablands and the Shellborne Legion. When brainstorming this zone it originally started as "let's make a crab dungeon that counters Crab Coast". It quickly turned into a war against the Crab Crusaders and their higher faction, Order of the Claw, vs a group of defectors calling themselves the Shellborne Legion. The map started as an island but felt that it needed more of a "climb" feeling so we went with a path leading from the beach up to the top of a hill. While running up the hill you encounter large groups of mobs, war bunkers and alone at the top a command post holding the leader of the Shellborne Legion. This was a lot of fun to make and a huge shout out to Arc for all his hard work creating this map![/p][p][/p][p]The zone was great and the idea was sound but now it needed just a touch more. Why was the Shellborne Legion made? What did their leader have against the Crab Crusaders? When there are bad guys there are usually good guys, right? That's how the Order of the Claw was created! The Order of the Claw contains the highest ranking members of the Crab Crusaders and not all were fond of this group. A General, who had been denied entry into the Order time and time again, recruited a rag tag group of crabs and set out to start their own militia... and just like that... a war was born! A special thanks to Crusha for kicking off some design concepts for the crabs![/p][p][/p][p]In the future we're looking to add other dungeons to Guild Warfare! A remastered version of Hidden Reef, a brand new area called Jurassic Jungle and one more that is still in the early concept stage![/p][p][/p][p]And that covers most of the new version of Guild Warfare. The next patch notes will detail all the new items available for the new faction.[/p][p]Join the war starting Friday, Jan 30 @ 4:00 PM PST![/p][p]Have Fun & Keep Gaming![/p]

Patch Notes #124 - Crablands Preview

[p]Guild Warfare Preview 2[/p][p]We've been making A LOT of progress on Guild Warfare and its first dungeon, The Crablands! Below is a preview of how the warfare will function and how you and your guild can pull off the victory![/p][p]How does it work?
You and your team will load into either Easy, Medium or Hard versions of the Crablands Guild Warfare Dungeon. Inside this dungeon you'll fight your way through tough mobs with and without buffs and aggro. You'll notice a new light red number above your head on mob death! That is your Guild Warfare XP and is what raises your Guild's level and determines victory! Each mob gives this new XP and mini bosses and bosses give a lot more! Compete to make sure that your guild is on top, secures victory over others, and claims unique buffs for the next month![/p][p][/p][p]Order of the Claw Faction[/p][p]The Order of the Claw is the inner circle within the Crab Crusaders and has called upon you to cleanse the Crablands, the new Guild Warfare Dungeon, of defectors calling themselves the Shellborne Legion. Their leader, the Shellborne General, used to command the Crab Crusaders military but after many disputes with the Order of the Claw they left to form their own regime. Now's your time to shine and join their ranks! Level up your faction rank to get your hands on some new powerful faction items and unlock achievements along the way![/p][p][/p][p]February's Subscription Item Vote Winner - Kingsguard Shield[/p][p]The Kingsguard Shield - Forged for those who stand when others kneel.[/p][p][/p][p]

Patch Notes #124 - The Broker v1

[p]The Broker is essentially the Market but in reverse![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]To use the Broker, head on over to New Crab City and click on the Broker npc.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The sell tab lets you search through buy orders and fulfill them if you have the item. If you sell an item it will be removed from your inventory and you will receive the price via in-game mail.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The buy tab let's you search through all collectible items and offer a price for that item. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The price + fee is the total cost to create a buy order. In the future, I will be adding better filtering controls for searching the collectible item database.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Once a buy order is created, it is shown in the buy tab on the left. If you cancel a buy order, the price + fee will be returned to you. If someone fulfills your buy order, the Broker will keep the fee and send you the item via in-game mail.[/p][p][/p][p]What is this good for? Let's run through an example.[/p][p][/p][p]Example: I want to have every outfit item in the game.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]I first open the Collector and sort by missing items and type outfit. I decide hey I'd like the item Big Red.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]I then close the Collector and open the Broker. I type in big red and poof there it is. I check the tooltip for the Market median and last sold price and decide I want to pay 500,000 coins.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]And poof there it is. A buy order ready to be filled. I can now just let it sit and hope someone fills it or I can go on http://discord.gg/fantasyonline2 and say hey fill my order please![/p][p][/p][p]And that's the Broker! On to Guild Warfare![/p][p][/p][p]Have Fun & Keep Gaming![/p]
