Shakes and Fidget News

Hello heroes!

Get ready for the following WEEKEND EVENTS from Friday to Sunday: Exceptional XP Event, Epic Quest Extravaganza & Sands of Time Special.



Moreover, you can already create a character for the upcoming NEW WORLD EU5 which will be launched on Friday at 16 CEST. Point your browser to https://s5.sfgame.eu or click the link in your inbox.

Last but not least, here are the results of our Hellevator "Trojan Horse" survey:

Thank you for participating in the survey regarding the "Trojan Horse" issue concerning the Hellevator event, namely players leaving a guild just before the event ends to lower the guild's ranking.

Below, we would like to briefly present the survey results and inform you of the conclusion we have reached based on them.

Survey Result Analysis
Approximately 30% of participants could agree with preventing guild departure, but a significant 54% were against it. The suggestions regarding the Hell Tokens being kept entirely within the guild or splitting them between the player and the guild when a player leaves got roughly 40% support each: 41% opposed the idea of keeping them entirely within the guild, while 25.5% opposed the idea of splitting them between the player and the guild when a player leaves.

Despite the aforementioned issue, the majority of the community seems to prefer the current system: nearly 48% favor the current system, while only 18% appear to disagree with it.

Conclusion
We believe this is a clear vote in favor of maintaining the current system and not making any changes.

Once again, we would like to thank you for your input!

The new game world EU5 is ready to launch next Friday. What are you waiting for? Register today, get your preferred name and receive a whopping 25 mushrooms for validation before launch: s5.sfgame.eu



We wish you a lot of fun!

We recently changed the class icon of the Berserker, which might have caught you a bit by surprise. In the following, we would like to explain our reasons for doing so and also present a few more concepts and suggestions, about which we would love to hear your opinions!
[h3]Why do we want to change class icons at all?[/h3]
The redesign of the class icon stems from the desire to better represent the unique ability that distinguishes each class.

The Berserker's axe, which can also attack with all other hand weapons, does not capture its class; its defining ability is to mercilessly strike at its opponent in a state of frenzy, and we want to try to visualize this.

In the Hall of Fame, it's desirable to make the icons in the smaller version more readable and intuitively recognizable, so that at first glance it's clear which opponent one chooses.
[h3]What was important to us about the Berserker class icon?[/h3]
The icon of the Berserker is a special challenge because it is about representing an emotion, namely frenzy, which we associate with heat and fire, without giving the impression that the Berserker has a fire attack.

In addition to the class icon, there is the option to also adjust the effect if this better represents the effect of the ability, we tried to avoid this in the first step, but we do not rule it out!
[h3]What would we like to receive in terms of feedback?[/h3]
We are aware that the community has gotten used to a certain icon and it's unfortunate to have to relearn this icon for each class with every update, so we are now taking this path to better consider your feedback in the redesign process and to arrive at the best possible solution.

We would be pleased if you could take a look at the new icon ideas and their associated effects, and let us know what you like best. For this, we would like to ask you to participate in the following survey:
