The Summer Update is fast approaching! The new content is currently available to check out on Test Realm. Explore all the changes and be sure to share all your thoughts, feedback, and of course any pesky bugs we need to squash. Thanks for the feedback so far, we appreciate it!
The first thing you’ll notice in the update is that the Wizards you know and love have received a makeover. We’ve taken the improvements we’ve made in creating creatures in later worlds and applied them to your characters. They should stay true to the look you're used but look improved, and we're continuing to tweak them as Test Realm progresses. Part of the changes include an overhaul to the Magic Mirror.
We are also adding a new event built on what you’ve come to love about the Beastmoon Hunt but without competitive PVP – the Beastmoon Monster Mayhem. You’ll notice that the event looks and feels familiar. Gameplay mechanics and progression are also similar, including the conditions established to keep matches fair and fun.
We also made several significant changes to PVP, including important Shadow PIP and spell balance adjustments, and improved chat regarding how players communicate in PVP events. These are also still being tweaked as Test Realm progresses.
Last but surely not least is the new Daily Spiral introduction page to the Crown Shop. We felt that there was so much more potential than simply listing Crown Shop items, so we’ve expanded the first tab entry to include more useful information and resources directly related to your Wizard.
How would you like to earn bonus rewards for participating in activities around the Spiral you already enjoy?
