[h2]Battleon's Social District is under siege by an army of undead![/h2]

Heroes! An army of the walking dead is attacking town! We have set up defenses on the bridge just outside the Social District. Join us... build catapults & defend barricades to protect our town from the undead assault!



[h2]BattleOn Defenders[/h2]

Talk to Defender Roland and Sarah Watterson (an NPC from the AQ3D Kickstarter). They just outside the social district of Battleon on the bridge. They will aid you in your defense with armor set crafting and defensive equipment.
New Defender Armor Sets & Title

• "Defender of Battleon" title (rank 30)
  
• Lotus Defender (full set craft at ranks 25-28)
  
• Lotus Siege (full set craft at ranks 25-28)
  
• Siege Defender (loot drop)
  

[h2]Siege War 101[/h2]

The invading force attacks in waves. The waves will get tougher.... build up your defenses wisely. Survive each wave of monsters, collecting defender medals to rebuild barricades and prepare defenses, and equip pieces of the Siege Defender armor set along the way to better defend against the assault. For every barricade left standing at the end of the war, a Siege Chest will spawn for the heroes.



[h2]Collect Defender Medals[/h2]

Attacking monsters drop Defender Medals & other items to craft defenses. Grab em! Use them to buy extra help & weapons.



[h2]Keep the undead out[/h2]

The undead cannot get past your barricades. Unless.... they destroy them. Which they can! So protect the barricades, they are your main defense. Building more of them is the best way to increase the war meter.



[h2]Craft Defenses![/h2]

Blacksmith Sara Watterson has volunteered to provide you with defenses in this war. This includes cannons, catapults, and walls of fire! Use your defenders medals to purchase them and they will appear transparent on the map. Just click on where you want it to go and it will become a solid item. You can spawn Guardian allies at the teleportation pad which appears by the gate.



You can build

Barricade
Catapult
Flame Wall
Guardian Golem
Warrior Guardian
Mage Guardian
Rogue Guardian
Cannonball

Note: You'll find your completed craft items and hired help waiting in your tokens inventory.



[h2]Earn Defender Ranks[/h2]

Meet Roland in Battleon where he is recruiting heroes to defend our town from the undead. He also has Defender Rank quests and crafting for additional cosmetic armor sets. As you gain ranks as a siege defender you'll unlock new tiers of armor sets.

Max Defender Rank increased to 30!
Craft new Defender Armor sets
You can craft all of the previous sets too!



[h2]Get Rewards! Siege Chests[/h2]

After a wave, you will get a siege Chest for each barricade left standing!

Head to the social district of town and head out the gate....

Defend our home from the undead assault...

Battle on!

P.S. Try not to get distracted by the giant Megalodon boss fight that you will have to pass on your way to the side gate.... (full disclosure, I stopped and fought him too)

Read the post at https://aq3d.com/news/summer_collection_war/

As you read this, your fellow players and I are at war against monsters.

We need your help!

..because, that epic-quality ice cream cone wand reward ain't gonna lick itself.

No... what? No...

Because the WAR METER at the top of the screen is game-wide!

That's right.

Game. Wide. Event.

Every server and every "Pointe Less Isle" across the game is sharing that exact same war meter...

That meter's updated live.

Hop in the game. Do Annette's "fight things" quest on Pointe Less isle to score points and drive that meter forward for EVERYONE.

It will take the combined efforts of you and the rest of the AQ3D community to reach 100%

....and unlock all of the rewards along the way.

...including that epic-quality ice cream cone wand. (Did you think we were kidding?)

This is a weekend long event, so join us quick!



[h2]Also... the 2020 Summer Collection is here![/h2]

We're trying something new O_O

This collection is linked to the war!

As the war meter gets higher, these items will become available for you to buy.

Not just the DragonCrystal ones... there are items you can buy with gold too.

Sure, you can still buy the entire 2020 Summer Collection as a bundle, get a badge, title, free permanent storage for it, save a massive amount of

DragonCrystals, and unlock all of the items instantly. But wait, there's more! You will get the warm and fuzzy feeling of knowing you are making our regular releases possible-- including our upcoming bow class, Ranger.

[h2]The "Just for KICKS" one[/h2]
[h3]New in version 1.51.0[/h3]

The newest version of AdventureQuest 3D (allows you to punt away-from-keyboard players from your dungeon and more features including...

[h2]New Character Creation[/h2]
Who forgot to update the customization screen that new players get in character creation! We did X_X. But not any more! Not it has all the fancy pants bells and whistles that the barbershop one uses. Also, we moved around some buttons for players on those shiny new big screen phones with super wierd sizes and the weird widow's peak camera location.

[h2]Dungeon Vote Kick[/h2]
So there you are, in a public dungeon, about to take on ultra mega, super Dai Tengu.... and sure enough, that SAME PLAYER goes AFK on you for the millionth time!!! No more. The new vote kick system will allow you to punt them to make room for someone who is ready to swing their sword or cast their spells at your side.

[h3]How To?[/h3]

• Click on their portrait... and click on Vote Kick!
  
• Or, you can target them and type /votekick into chat
  
• Or target a player and type /votekick
• Available in public dungeons
  
• You can activate vote kick after 3 minutes as long as there are at least 4 players
  
• Vote kick requires 75% (rounded up) of player votes
  
• There are some anti-griefing measures
  
• This is a really good feature for the community, but, no doubt, someone will find a way to abuse it. When it does happen, their punishment will be swift, brutal and probably funny.
  

[h2]New Ping System![/h2]
This feature was not near exciting enough to warrant that exclamation point. But we fixed that bonkers Lag Meter. Some times it seemed that meter has a mind of its own. Rest assured your ping times are 68% more... um, pingy! (Note: This is not the lag fix that we are working on. But it will give you a far more accurate picture of what your latency really is.)

[h2]Live Event Shop Updated[/h2]
Did you hang onto those coins from the live events!? The live event shop has been updated. Check out the shop on Serenity in Yulgar's In.....

Wait.

What!?

Why are these live!?

I DID NOT FINISH ENTERING THE NAMES AND DESCRIPTIONS FOR THEM YET!

....they were supposed to go live with the content release later this week.

O_O

Oh man...

I, uh... oh man....

Excuse me.

I gotta get to work on those...

(Feel free to recommend names and descriptions for them in the comment section below)

An old tower was discovered in Heartwood forest. It appears to be the long, lost Nature Guardian Tower. But this place has fallen to an unspeakable tragedy. What happened here? What is in inside? Guardians, your quest is to find out...



[h2]A Mystery of Dragons and Artifacts[/h2]
Once upon a time, the elemental Guardian Towers protected the lands. They were a bastion of hope & peace. Every major area of our world was home to one of these legendary towers. Each was said to possess something of incredible power. We can only assume this is what they were "guarding." Today, only the Guardian Tower in our home town of Battleon remains. The fates and whereabouts of the rest of the towers is completely unknown. Well, "was" unknown... until now.



[h2]The Nature Guardian Tower has been discovered![/h2]
The 1st of the missing towers has been discovered in Heartwood. It is completely overgrown with plants and moss, but still magically sealed. Only Guardians can enter to investigate.



[h2]Story... Boss Fight... & Challenge![/h2]
Solve the mystery and learn the secrets of the Guardians. This adventure's Boss Monster features new skills. Once the solo adventure is complete, return with up to five your friends for a challenge.



[h2]The Armor Set[/h2]
Quest for and collect the 1st of the elemental Guardian armor sets.



[h2]The Guardian Saga[/h2]
The story of the Guardians is told through the discovery and investigation of the missing Towers. This story runs in parallel to the main world story. You must be a Guardian (or upgrade to become one) in order to enter the Tower.



[h2]Become a Guardian[/h2]
AdventureQuest 3D's main story and regular releases are (and will always be) free.
If you would like bonus rewards, & benefits including gear, a bigger inventory, and more content along with the warm & fuzzy feeling of knowing you are the reason our regular releases are possible-- please upgrade and become a Guardian! It is a one-time purchase. Permanently unlocks Guardian current and future Guardian rewards. Now is the best time to upgrade to Guardian, because we have that sale running which gets you 50% more DragonCrystals-- and yes, that will boost the number of DragonCrystals that comes with your Guardian upgrade.

Battle On!
