6.4 Update: Legends Reborn

6.4 UPDATE: LEGENDS REBORN

  • Legends Reborn is a 2 week long event that runs in a Kingdom.
  • The chosen Kingdom will have an icon on the Kingdom’s name plate on the World Map (similar to when a Quest is available for the Kingdom has bonus Mythstones).
  • Legends Reborn can be accessed from 3 places:
    • Games Menu
    • News Menu
    • Kingdom Menu for chosen Kingdom in Legends Reborn – Players who have completed the storyline for the Kingdom that Legends Reborn is happening in will be able to access the event from that Kingdom’s Menu.
  • While Legends Reborn is active, players can replay the Kingdom’s Storyline (from the Legends Reborn Menu).
    • Players will not gain the Quest Bonus Income, Unlock Challenges, or Troop rewards that may have been gained when playing the Storyline Quests normally.
    • Players will not be able to replay the Kingdom’s Class Quest.
  • The Kingdom Storyline in Legends Reborn will have a starting difficulty of Level 20, and increase in difficulty for each battle played.
  • Playthroughs at a higher difficulty will unlock during the event.
    • DIFFICULTY II (Lv 50): Day 3
    • DIFFICULTY III (Lv 80): Day 6
    • DIFFICULTY IV (Lv 110): Day 9
    • DIFFICULTY V (Lv 140): Day 12
  • Each playthrough will unlock copies of a special Pet that will buff an Epic Rarity Troop from that Kingdom.
  • Also during a Legends Reborn event, players will be able to earn a “Kingdom Collectible” for the event by defeating Enemies of that Kingdom’s primary color (in any game mode, except for Training mode).
  • Earning this Kingdom collectible will unlock Reward Tiers for the Legends Reborn event.
  • In each Tier there are 4 types of Rewards a player can collect:
    • FREE: These rewards are free to collect, and contain a Pet that will buff a Troop of Ultra-Rare or Lower Rarity.
    • GEM: These rewards can be purchased using Gems, and contain a Pet that will buff a Legendary Rarity Troop, as well as other rewards (including Cursed Gnome bait)
    • CASH: These rewards can be purchased using real money, and contain a Pet that will buff a Mythic Rarity Troop, as well as other rewards (including a Orb of Power).
    • BONUS: These rewards become available if a player collects all the other rewards in the Tier.
  • A player cannot collect a reward in a higher tier unless they have collected the matching reward in a lower tier.
    • E.g. Players would need to collect the Tier I Gem Reward before they would be able to collect/purchase the Tier II Gem Reward. There is no need to purchase the Tier I Cash Reward though in order to get the Tier II Gem Reward or the Tier II Free Reward.
  • All pets available in Kingdoms Reborn will also be available from Pet Gnomes.
  • Legends Reborn does not have a set schedule when it will run (compared to other events like Guild Wars).

(Our first Legends Reborn Event will start at weekly reset on August 1st)

Some platforms are now requiring all games to include in-game account deletion. So players on Steam, iOS and Android will now be able to delete their account from within the game. (We will be looking to bring this feature to Xbox, PlayStation and Switch Players in a future update.)

  • In the Settings Menu > Account, players will find a new Delete Account button that will allow them to start the countdown to delete their account.
  • Once a player confirms they would like to delete their account, it will start a 20 day timer before the deletion will take place
    • There will be a confirmation screen after the player decides to start the countdown so players are aware it’s active.
    • We have put in a 20 day timer to prevent players from accidentally having their account deleted.
  • Players who have started the timer will get a pop up message every time after daily reset reminding them that the deletion countdown is in progress and how many days remain.
  • Players can change their mind at any time and just click on the Delete Account button again to stop it.
    • Stopping an account deletion, and then restarting it will reset the countdown back to 20 days.
  • After the countdown ends the game will then delete the player’s account from the game server similar to a GDPR request (for those familiar with this). THIS CANNOT BE REVERSED.
    • This will include any purchases that have been made so please make sure before you decide to delete your account.

PLEASE NOTE ONCE AN ACCOUNT IS DELETED IT CANNOT BE RECOVERED.

We have made some visual changes to the following things, as part of an ongoing upgrade to various game elements. This is visual only. Expect more things to be upgraded into a similar style in future updates over the next 12 months.

  • Headings on menu with Tab Navigation
  • Tab Navigation Bars
  • Green Buttons in the game
    • These Buttons will have a few color variations based on what they do in the game.

We have 2 new Achievements for this update:

  • Kingdom Crusher: Complete a Kingdom Story 5 times in a single Legends Reborn event.
  • If I Were a Rich Man: Collect 300 Kingdom currency in a single Legends Reborn event.

  • We have added a filter for Hero Classes for players to use when creating new teams. Players will be able to filter Hero Classes by:
    • Color (based on the Color the Class gives bonus Magic to)
    • Kingdom
    • Troop Type
    • Talent Tree
  • We have added a new Heroic Gem to the game for a future Campaign.
  • We have made a change that when a player is banned from chat, it will also prevent them from changing their guild’s message.
  • We have rotated around Warbands so that Armored Legion and Entangled Woods have replaced Fire and Fury, and Goblin Gang Warbands.

  • We have fixed an issue where the Auto Play Mode button has no functionality when a Gem Storm information popup is invoked.
  • We have fixed an issue where some players were seeing the Deep Delve UI with black box around them.
  • We have fixed an issue where some players with different aspect ratios were not able to access the button to purchase more Delve Attempts.
  • We have fixed an assortment of smaller issues.

Please Note that this update will be available on Steam, iOS, Android, Amazon, Xbox, and PlayStation. Switch will be receiving the update at a future date.

Adding curse gnome bait to the gem tier rewards is a nice and thoughtful touch.

Adding a new cash-only pet to every 2-week event seems really terrible. 10-week campaign pass, biannual kingdom pass, and now 2-week legends passes to stay current. People won’t do it, so they’ll give up and stop buying any passes at all.
Edit: not cash only forever, just time gated before going into pet rescues. My mistake.

Some nice small improvements, and I like the new UI.

It is not cash only forever…

“All pets available in Kingdoms Reborn will also be available from Pet Gnomes.”

I am sure that it will be like 4 weeks after the event then the pets will pop up in the pet rescues but I am concerned about amount of pets that can be found in pet rescues. It will reduce the odds of specific pet showing up in pet rescues… It will be extremely hard finding specific pets you need, just pray and hope for luck. Hope devs will do something about that… Maybe have a menu of 5 pets to chose from when you activate the pet rescue?

Not on android yet?

Tinkering with the UI (and making it worse in the process) rather than addressing gameplay issues demonstrates unhinged priority bias. More cash please if you want to buff the crap troops that we couldn’t be bothered to give any design effort to in the 1st place. CG bait for gems? Hmmmm. Fix something/anything each update such as incorrect spell description etc…

EDIT
Further dilution of the pet pool is the last thing we need. 3 new pets per legend event? Haven’t you listened to pet concerns at all?

Legends Reborn is PQ3 Season mode lite. Interesting. Doesn’t appear to be as punishing microtransaction-wise as the mode is in PQ3, though.

However, if an Orb of Power is present in the Cash tier, that should mean that the Cash tier is going to be expensive to purchase.

Has anybody on Android seen the new version yet?
Playstore still lists last update as June 3, as far as I can see.

Does recycling the previously released Warbands indicate the end of new Warbands being released?

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to let you know the Development Team is currently looking into why 6.4 hasn’t released on Android.

Once I have an update I’ll let you all know!

The pets have already been popping up in all our guilds for the past couple weeks from pet gnomes. (edit: at least for the epic troop pets)

Looking at the pets, there are:

60 cosmetic pets are not in pet rescue pool
120 pets are in pet rescue pool

Every pet rescue have .83% chance to get specific pet. That’s the odds currently…

The game is adding 4 new pets for every Legends Reborn event… Lets say there is Legends Reborn event every month so that’s 48 new pets in a year plus some new pets from another sources, lets say 2 for simplicity’s sake so that bring it to 50 new pets a year.

So, we will have 170 pets next year that’s in pet rescue pool… which means it is .58% to get specific pet you are seeking for… The odds will get worse every time they add new pet to pet rescue pool. I am very concerned because they are adding 4 at time for every Legends Reborn event and I hope that the devs have plans for that problem.

I am glad your guild have three new pets popped up, our guild have 4 new pets popped up. Our guild are very active guild and I am sure your guild is very active too. For most of other guilds that are less active, it is nearly impossible to get pets they need.

That is true it is hard to get a specific pet to pop up especially for less active guilds and ones where nobody does pvp content where you can encounter pet gnomes. At least they do have the gem shop where it is possible when you finally encounter a pet you need to throw gems at getting the copies you need.

It would be nice if they add pets to soulforge like they did for mythics.

Maybe have a tab called pets and have 5 pets a week. It would be about 24 weeks for full cycle according to current numbers. It can use diamonds and maybe cursed runes or something like that.

I get the August 1 part. But which kingdom?

According to this: GoW Pet Spoilers

It is Forest of Thorns

Not sure I think it might have been suggested before but it is a good suggestion all the same and for sure it would be helpful. Some kingdoms have very few pet options and so need cosmetic pets to advance power levels and those are by far the worst to hope for because you cannot even get them in pet rescues. Maybe they could include cosmetic pets in their weekly soulforge cycle as well if they ever add that. It would likely cost gems and souls for copies of pets though if they added it to the soulforge but I think we would all be ok with that still.

My experience with the new class filter menu:

  • class filter menu saves the last selection regardless (even when going back to main screen without saving the filter)
  • in most cases you have to swipe to the left once you selected something (also showin in some cases that no class could be found in the background even when it shows some classes)
  • whats the matter of filter classes by boss, doom, gnom, or tower??? they could be added on release if neccessary
  • same for apocalypse and vault???
  • filter by level sets the classes from Z-A (couldnt proof if there is a level order coz all classes are on 20 already)
  • why not add a filter by champion level, fully traited and obtained class weapon (useful for beginners)

Btw the new layout looks in my opionion less recognizable. Everything you changed appears to be more like background then anything else to me. Grey font on brownish background with no frame around. And due to the fact that most kingdoms have a dark layout those “menus” seem to get kinda visually lost.
Just my 2 cents

We really need a rework of pet rescues. Or something that will make specific pet hunting possible.
I remember it was once discussed on devs Q & A stream in April 2021.
