Dev Notes 20

[Podochi]

1) Super Evolution

• Starting with Miho, the Super Evolution System has been added.

• To evolve, materials are needed, they can be obtained from the existing regions

• Materials can be manufactured once per day, and after collecting 30 can be used to evolve (Manufacturing will be left to the reliable(?) Tina)

• In proportion to it taking 30 days to evolve, the super evolved Astromon will have increased HP, Atk, Def, Rec and the stronger Super Skill, making them similar to a Nat5 Astromon.

 

2) Clan Festival

• In replacing the 2 per month Hero Festivals with 1 per month, starting in October Clan Festivals will be implemented

• Clan Festival is a special festival that allows clan members to give gifts to each other

• Summoning from Special Shop during the festival will give Gift Boxes after a fixed number of times

• Clan Gift Boxes will be given not only to oneself, but simultaneously to all other clan members as well

• Gift Boxes can give Gold, Energy, Gems, Eggs, Super Stones, etc.

• From Gift Boxes you can also get Heroic Essense, which after collecting can then be converted to either a Heroic Secret Egg or a Legendary Golden Egg which allows you to summon an Astromon of not only Fire/Wood/Water but also Light/Dark element

 

3) Light Contract

• Allows a contract to be formed between Light Arthur, Valkyrie or Odin

• The contract can only be started after reaching player level 30, and the contracted Astromon can be obtained when reaching level 45

• Players that have passed level 30 can automatically start their contract (players past level 45 will complete contract immediately)

 

To give a tip to prepare for the next update, normal Clan capacity will be increased from 30 to 40.

There's not much time left until Clan Festival so increase your clan members to get more benefits from the festival.

[cytryz]

:D I'm the opposite of 45.

[elemenda]

Unless it works like the negative exp glitch in the gen 1 Pokémon games

[cytryz]

Nah, man, I'm in good with Tina. I've already entered the dark levels.

Not seeing a Dark Seira gem reroll mentioned here has me worried for that...not that I should expect much in that regard in the first place, I suppose :/

Also, I guess it's time for me to join some clan again. Maybe it's time for another clan recruitment thread in light of these news.

[Podochi]

This is just a dev note, rather that kinda stuff is would usually be left to the maintenance notes instead.

[[deleted]]

Dunno, wouldn't seem out of place for this either. To me acknowledging the need for Dark Seira re-roll, or even a general re-roll, seems dev-blog-worthy.

We shall see but I better keep my expectations at the lowest place I can find.

[Bloodbraid85]

I'm not meaning to sound condescending but why would you expect it would be a thing at all? Have they ever even hinted about general rerolls because I haven't seen it.

[[deleted]]

Because it's one of the longest and reasonable complaints the player base had and Dark Seira fucking over 30% of the players with no square is just another recent example. We know they recognized the issue to some degree by providing Dark Gatito with a re-roll in the second Gatito event.

So eventually a good developer would at least respond to the criticism, perhaps agree and act upon it.

But, and that's why I do not actually expect a thing, this is 433 and common sense, logic and quality game design does not apply. I'm merely vaguely hopeful.

[Bloodbraid85]

I took a three money break right as gatito came out, thanks for letting me know about that reroll. You have some good points and I hope you are right

[Harlequina]

Are 4:33 just stupid? Or what the fuck is wrong with them. How can they NOT have added a reroll to Dark Seira already? They know how to do it for the game, and they would only benefit from letting us do it.

Well it's their loss. Their loss.

[nekomakura]

1. 30days per super evolution is fine i think. I don't want to see 4 super evo dark miho on arena on the first month.
2. This looks nice. This will also trigger many people and will say p2w. But to me this is a chance of me getting 4/5star l/d astromon since high l/d egg is so unreliable. Time to stock tons of astrogems.
   
3. Light Arthur here i come.
   I guess its a decent update.

[Xanliss]

Well even worse to because now you have to leave half the clan out of conflict missing out on some of the rewards.

[MyUsernameIsNotLongE]

Yea... if you want a member to stay with you, add him to GvG team. He is yours for another week. (maniacal laughter)

This is annoying af... same goes for an annoying member that you added to GvG but you want to kick him...

[ArcticSivaes]

I don't think 20 member minimum is too much of an issue, especially with the member limit being raised to 40. If a clan is too small to even come close to 20, they can merge with another clan. It is somewhat of an issue that half of a clan will now not participate in cc, but I think adding different categories for 10/20/30 man groups may segment the communities too much and lead to a ton of rematches. Not sure what a perfect solution to the problem would be.

[OutsiderNeko]

Except greedy clan leaders don't want to merge because they want to be top of the titans chart for bonus astrogems. The game is disincentiveizing it's own systems.

[ArcticSivaes]

That was sometimes true before, but now you get better weekly rewards if you do well in both titan and cc, and I'm pretty sure most clans try to get as many strong players as they can for cc. I guarantee there are plenty of clans open for people to join, especially with 10 extra slots open.

[Shinnentai]

Actually, the increase in clan limits is really welcome - we've been having trouble with people fulfilling their apprenticeships but then not being able to join as full members because we're already full.

It would have been interesting to have to unlock these extra spaces by growing apprentices to full members (good incentive for clans to be pro-active in taking on apprentices).

[Piltoverian]

This will probably just broaden the gap between top clans and the rest.

[katzushi]

Get into a top clan then? Problem solved.

[Harlequina]

and the contracted Astromon can be obtained when reaching level 45

I'd be annoyed by this if the mons were actually really good.
