[h3]NEW GEAR SYSTEM, DUAL STRONGHOLD BOSSES, COSMETICS & MORE!!![/h3]

Greetings Maiden Nation! This is your Maiden Commander speaking!

We couldn't be happier to show our progress on the upcoming expansion League of Maidens "The Realm of Shadows"! To date we are 80% complete on the expansion making consistent progress on the build daily and we cannot wait for you all to play!

Until then, we would like to share some information on just a few of the huge content and system additions coming in the next expansion. Let's jump right in!

NEW GEAR PROGRESSION SYSTEM

We are extremely happy to announce the completion of the work on a new Enchantment System that will allow players to take any piece of existing gear (T1-T3) and enchant the gear with certain buffs which will apply to certain enemies. The first of the available enchantments is called "The Corruption". Players will be able to place their gear within a Shadow Forge located in the new TROS zone to Corrupt their gear from +1 to +15 across (3) different tiers (T1-T3) with gear dropping within the Realm of Shadows having a possibility of being corrupt from Tier 1 +1 up to +10 which makes for anywhere from 35 to 45 levels of progression for each gear piece. Gear corruption levels are separated into 3 tiers requiring players to need T3 gear with Corruption Tier 3 and Corruption Level +15 on all (6) gear pieces to get a maximum of 90% damage buff on all Shadow enemies within the Realm of Shadows. This along with a 10% damage boost from a newly added Dark Essence (more info to come) will provide a combined 100% damage bonus for all Shadow enemies and Stronghold Bosses located within the new expansion. Be sure to check out a preview image of the updated UI which features the corruption tier and level of gear below.

CORRUPTION VISUAL EFFECTS

We are adding a cool new feature which visualizes the corruption level on your character in four stages. As players increase their corruption levels across all gear pieces their character will begin to take on a more sinister look which will help make it immediately clear how corrupt a player has become. This visual effect is free for all players and it can be combined with existing aura effects. Lastly this visual effect can be toggled on and off should a player not wish to alter their characters appearance based on corruption levels within the character customization interface. Be sure to check out a preview image of the progression of the corruption visual effects below.

NEW DUAL STRONGHOLD BOSSES

We couldn't be happier to announce that the upcoming TROS update will feature for the first time a dual Stronghold Boss fight with the new Shadow Ako & Shadow Iko Tier 2 boss fight. I recently had a chance to take on this Tier 2 boss challenge and I must say it is by far the most fun fight in the entire game. Some of the random and amazingly kickass moments that occur with these two twins will create awesome and memorable gameplay moments for years to come. Be sure to check out a preview image of the Atonement UI featuring Shadow Ako & Shadow Iko below.

NEW PREMIUM & IN-GAME EARNABLE COSMETICS

We've added a total of (9) new outfits (some of which we are previewing today) and a host of new premium cosmetics including (2) new shadow mounts and much more. We've also added over 16+ (and counting) new non-premium cosmetics which we won't be previewing today but we will for sure preview before the release of the expansion.

More will be revealed soon along with previews of a new game mode and much more in the next expansion. Expect more frequent updates on our progress as we draw closer to the release of TROS and feel free to ask any questions you'd like in the comments section. We're happy to answer what we can that won't spoil the surprise!

That's it for now! Thank you again SO MUCH! WE SINCERELY APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!!!

Have an amazing weekend everyone!
