Gems of Streaming

Summary of what was said in stream (comments in brackets are my own thoughts):

  • Office move hasn’t happened yet but will be happening soon.
  • No particular reason that event stone requirement was reduced this week. Or none that Salty knows anyway.
  • Salty likes the new Legendary, especially the art.
  • PC/Mobile will probably get daily tasks like console sometime. Nothing imminent.
  • Salty previewed Zuul’Goth starting at around 10:00. (I guess this makes up for the Raid ‘preview’ which occurred three days after the event was released. Now we have a preview for a troop which no one can acquire for two years. Cool cool cool.) It is meant to be a “lofty goal” for endgamers.
  • Salty can’t eat pancakes.
  • Nimhain is the special guest, appearing at about 18:30.
  • There will be a post explaining bounties later this week (close to release), but no preview video.
  • Bounties won’t be limited in the teams you can use.
  • Nim has been working on upcoming troops and the next kingdom (Dhrak-Zum). Not many details yet but she is working on a tank that would be a good alternative to Gorgotha.
  • Devs are happy with how Raid and Invasion went and they are listening to feedback. They can’t make knee-jerk reactions. They’re following all channels and are watching how we’re playing. There may be some changes coming out of that but nothing specific promised at this time.
  • Diagonal gem-moves will not be a thing.
  • Some discussion about the difficulty of getting a specific legendary in the Soul Forge (since there are so many legendaries and only 4 appear per week).
  • 3 new mythics in-progress and Nim is working on the next 3-month batch of troops.
  • Important centaur discussions at 32:00 (see my post above).
  • Treasure hunt is still on the to-do list. They are aware that it doesn’t scale well to mid and end-game but they need to be careful with rebalancing rewards.
  • On rewards for Raid and Invasion, they are listening to feedback and don’t have any answers yet. Nim said that since some of the rewards get sent out to everyone in the guild, they need to be careful. It is not just the devs decision (meaning that the publisher probably has a hand in this as well).
  • Treasure hunt vaults will probably never hold vault keys, since Gnomes are a unique thing.
  • There are new types of Gnomes coming. Lots of different types (to be introduced every couple of months).
  • Tassarion will be sent out to do some important field research on Centaurs.
  • Goblin mythic coming next year maybe? Raksha mythic coming before August.
  • A new game mode is coming. No details.
  • Orbs unlikely to come to legendary tasks.
  • Crafting formula for Zuul probably won’t change, but there may be additional ways to get orbs in the future.
  • Still no codes for console due to “legal issues”.
  • Cyrup will be streaming for the next few weeks as Salty will be in the USA.
  • Support is a little backed-up following the new update.
  • Salty’s knowledge of geography, both American and Australian, is atrocious.
