Hey Townies!

We promised that The Coven would eventually be purchasable for browser users and that time is soon! We will be launching this patch tomorrow. We have split the purchase to be more like the path you take when buying it on Steam. We have a premium Web version that comes with an exclusive pet, 2000 Town Points, and 100% bonus Merit Points for life for $5 USD. Owning this allows you to purchase The Coven for $5 USD getting you all the perks that come with The Coven including access to all of the new roles in Coven games, exclusive queues that only Coven players can play in, and the rotating game modes VIP, Lovers, and Rivals. There is also an option to purchase both at once for a total of $10 USD. If you already own Steam and The Coven through Steam you can still purchase the Web premium bundle to pick up the new pet, the 2,000 Town Points at a discounted rate and the Merit Point bonus stacks! This will mean that you are getting 300% Merit Point gains. A win that normally would give 40 Merit Points will give 120 Merit Points if you own Steam and Web premium! Here is a picture of the adorable new Webby pet that comes from purchasing the premium Web version!

We are not sure whether to burn it with fire, or give this little cutie some pats.

New Character!
This patch also comes with a new purchasable skin based on the role the Crusader. We know what you are thinking, but we will refrain from memeing on you too hard.


Price Reductions!
Steam and Web premium grant 2000 Town Points, so we have decided to drop the price of Beelzebub and Uriel to match that. This means anyone buying either premium purchase can buy a legendary skin with their Town Points.

Bug Fixes/Improvements

Fixed a bug that would allow players to leave Original Town of Salem games in the lobby and go join Coven lobbies without being affected by the timeout.

Fixed a few instances of overlapping text on certain resolutions.

Fixed a display issue with Coven scrolls showing them as giving 2x odds instead of 10x odds. This was only a visual issue and did not affect how they worked during this time.

Fixed a few instances of misspelled words, or duplicated sentences.

The graphics settings should now save when they are changed.

If you don't own The Coven those scrolls won't show in the shop to help keep the clutter down for those users.

There was some confusion about the rotating game modes. People thought that VIP, Lovers, and Rivals were the "Exclusive Queues" with The Coven. We have made this more clear that these are the Rotating Game Modes, and that all of The Coven game modes are the "Exclusive Queues". This means that any Coven game mode can only be played by players who own The Coven.

Hey Townies!

We are releasing patch 2.0.2. This patch will be adding a few things with it, and will have a lot of bug fixes as well.

Patch notes on Login

First and foremost one the most important things moving forward is that the patch notes are now viewable on the login screen. This will help all players to stay up to date with the latest changes.

Ranked Off Season

Today marks the beginning of the ranked off season. This means that all Elo is being locked and won't change until the start of Ranked Season 1.

Ranked Rewards Coming Soon

With the off season starting we will be working on getting out the ranked rewards for the "Legacy Season" out ASAP!

Coven Ranked Practice

With the off season starting we will be implementing Coven Ranked Practice. Over the coming weeks we will be looking at the win rates of each faction and role in this mode and looking at the overall balance of this list. We will adjust it as necessary.

Hypnotist Has a New UI

The Hypnotist now has the ability to pick and choose what message is sent to the player that they hypnotize. This means that they have more control over what roles they can counter claim, or what roles they can fake are in the game.

Investigator Results Split

We originally had the Coven and original Town of Salem investigative results show up the same. This confused some people as not all the roles in the list are possible in the original game. The investigative results aren't changing themselves, but the results in the original game modes won't have the new roles included.

Coven Friends

Your friends list now knows who owns The Coven so you more easily make games with them. There will be a small blood moon icon around their online status indicating if they own The Coven. If they don't have this icon it means they don't own The Coven.

Jailor Death Note Replacement

We have received a lot of feedback about taking the Jailor's death note away. We are exploring a way to explain why they executed a player in their note. This will not be something that you can type in as we still don't want you to be able to reveal too much information anonymously.

Various Bug Fixes

We have fixed many bugs and typos with this patch. If you encounter a bug, or a typo, please make sure to let us know!


Happy Hanging!

Big News Townies!

Today we are announcing an expansion to Town of Salem! Town of Salem: The Coven. In this expansion we are introducing 15 new roles, a new faction, exclusive queues, rotating game modes, and tons of improvements to the current game.

The Coven is a new faction of witches that will enter the never ending death fest that is Town of Salem. The Coven will include 5 new witch roles, and the current Witch has taken the role of the Coven Leader! One of the Coven’s greatest strengths is the Necronomicon. The Necronomicon’s ancient powers will amplify the abilities of any witch that possesses it!

When the holder of the Necronomicon dies a random Coven member will get the Necronomicon.

This expansion will add a ton of new things, so check it all out the official announcement post here: http://www.blankmediagames.com/town-of-salem-the-coven-announcement/

Hey Townies!

We are releasing patch 2.0 today! This is the patch that will add everything that will come with the coven even though The Coven expansion wont be purchasable until the 6th. This will let us make sure that the launch of the coven is as smooth as possible. This also lets us get in the changes that affect the original version of the game in, so you all can have time to adjust to the changes before the new stuff comes out. Check out all the changes that affect the original version below!

Keywords System
To help players better understand abilities and what attacks will kill which roles we have added a coded system to explain attacks and defense attributes. More info here http://www.blankmediagames.com/keywords/

Viewable Rolecards While In Game
You can now click on the role list in game to read role cards and see which roles a random can become.

Role Changes

• Arsonist
  Arsonist ignite is considered a passive attack, not a visiting attack (dousing is still a visit). This means an Arsonist ignite will now kill a jailed target.

• Amnesiac
  Amnesiac can now remember non-Town unique roles! There can still only be 1 unique role alive at a time.

• Bodyguard
  We have standardized Bodyguard protection to only protect from direct attacks. This means a Bodyguard will not protect from other Bodyguard, Veterans, Crusader, Ambusher, Werewolf attacks that are not directly attacking the protected target, traps and all other non-direct attacks.

• Witch
  The Witch now has a magical protection barrier that will give them basic defense against the first harmful attack against them.

• Jester
  Jester haunt is a passive attack and not a visit. Additionally haunt is not effected by Transportation.

• Medium
  Fixed a bug that caused Lookouts to see a dead Medium seance as a visit.

• Vampires
  Standardized Vampire attacks and conversions. Vampires now deal a basic attack to all targets. If the target can be converted to a Vampire and would die to the basic attack they will be converted. All forms of basic defense or higher (including temporary protection) will prevent conversion.

Jailing
Jailing will now make all targeting fail against the jailed target.

Self Targeting Abilities
Code change to prevent special abilities triggered by targeting yourself (ignite, vests, self heal, etc) from interacting with roles that can change your target (Witch, Transporter, Coven Leader). This change also fixed some bugs that would cause a Lookout to see roles as "visiting themselves" when using their special ability.
What this changed:

• Arso ignite is no longer a harmful visit to himself(won't trigger bg or trapper)
  
• Bg vest is no longer a visit.(won’t be used if witched or transported into targeting self)
  
• Survivor vest is no longer a visit.(won’t be used if witched or transported into targeting self)
  
• Doc self heal is no longer a visit.(won’t be used if witched or transported into targeting self)

Death Notes
We have removed all death notes from Town roles. We felt that death notes on Town roles were a powerful tool for Veterans and Jailors to confirm who they are so we have removed this ability. Additionally lore wise it seemed weird for Town to leave death notes.

Important bug fixes
Fixed a bug that caused role block immune roles to not be seen by Lookout or attacked by visiting a Werewolf when they were roleblocked.

Fixed a bug that caused Vampires or jailed targets to get double chat messages when in a seance with a Medium

Fixed a variety of bugs that would display invalid "killed by" messages when a player was attacked by multiple targets. Ex: "Executed by Jailor. Also attacked by Vigilante."

Fixed a bug where if you were a killing role that did not attack anyone, and were controlled by a Witch into attacking a player protected by the bodyguard, you would not get the message saying you were controlled.

Fixed a bug with ELO calculations that would cause players to lose more ELO than they should when playing against higher ELO opponents.
