HALLOWEEN HERO TRIALS

Community Announcements - [CM] Drestam

Running: 14/10 to 4/11

Prickly Prigal hides in the shadow of his master, Yu-Meow. This monster works in the shadows and is planning to invade Atreia once again: Prickly Prigal has hoarded mountains of food and fed it to the Halloween fiends Ferocious Bloodwing, Holy Wraith and Sinister Crettin. These fiends are now mounting an assault on the open world and all of the instances. Now the Daevas are the only ones who can put a stop to Prickly Prigal’s monstrous plan.

Stop the Halloween fiends and be rewarded with items like [Rune] Selection Box of Halloween Transformation Contracts (4 types), the [Rune] Daevanion Essence and the Mysterious Weapons Selection Box of the Dark Dragon King!

The Halloween Hero Trials

Each week, two different quests become available that each consist of two sub-quests. These can be played at different times:

Sub-quest 1: active from Wednesday 9 AM to Saturday 11:59 AM.
Sub-quest 2: active from Saturday 12 PM to Wednesday 8:59 AM.

In order to complete a quest, you have to stop a certain number of Ferocious Bloodwings, Holy Wraiths and Sinister Crettins from carrying out their awful work. The number of fiends is limited in instances, so you’ll have to play through at least twice to be able to complete the quest.

You’ll be rewarded once per account after completing each quest. You can find your reward in the AION shop under ‘Manage bonuses’.

Additional rewards

If you complete a certain number of hero trials, you can look forward to additional rewards. There are three levels:

20 of 60 quests completed
40 of 60 quests completed
60 of 60 quests completed

Notes

To be able to complete the ‘Halloween Challenge’, you have to complete all quests with the same hero, otherwise unfortunately it won’t be counted towards your total.
The following event items will be removed from the game one week after the event ends: [Event] Clue, [Event] Book of Clues and [Event] Complete Book of Clues.
The quest to fight the Pumpkin Monster is optional. This will increase your total number of quests to 63 in this event.

Have fun!
The AION Team

Hotfix for the rare case of players missing items/money

Derail Valley - Altfuture

Thanks to your reports we've tracked down a bug that affected a small amount of players, where their items and/or money disappeared with the most recent build. This occurred to players who had a derailed caboose when their game updated. There's more to it, but in short, the derailed caboose would cause an error that would propagate to the rest of the saving process.

If you're affected (a few players)

(your items and/or money are missing since updating to #88, and you own the caboose)

Unfortunately you'll need to roll back to the save before #88, if you wish to retrieve the lost items/money. To do this, follow these steps:

Update Derail Valley (restart Steam to make sure the hotfix is downloaded and applied)
In Steam Library right click Derail Valley > Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files...
In the new window go to folders DerailValley_Data > SaveGameData
Rename the file "savegame" to something else (e.g. "savegame-88-broken")
Make a copy of the file "savegame_old_version5"
Rename that copy to just "savegame"

This way you'll have replaced your current save with the latest working backup. Now you should be able to start the game, and it will continue where you left off in #87 without issues. Side note: in the future Derail Valley will feature a proper in-game save manager.

If you're not affected (most players)

(you have all your items/money, don't own the caboose, or you didn't update to #88 yet)

You can continue playing normally. This update won't affect you.

Despite thorough testing, both internally and with beta testers before releasing updates, this one slipped through. We're sorry for the inconvenience!

Happy Early Access Launch!

Second Extinction™ - Anaïs

Hey Extinction Elites!

Happy Early Access Launch!

We’re super happy to have you with us in this exciting period. The team here has put a lot of hard work, energy, excitement, passion, and enthusiasm into this game and we are so excited to see our baby take its first wobbly steps into the wild.

Much has been said already about the game and what it is now - you shoot lots of dinosaurs in gory and satisfying ways. But I want to spend this moment to talk a little about our team here and what we hope to accomplish going forward.

Early Access, to us, means a couple of things:

First, it’s a way to get the community involved in the development of the game. I’ve loved reading about the cool dino mutations that some have thought up of, or the ideas about new gameplay that have been suggested. If Second Extinction is our baby, you - the community - is its teacher. We want to realize the potential of the game but within reason - there are some things this game is not, and that is both by design and purpose…. But there are also things that we wouldn’t be against exploring if that is what we, together, discover would be interesting.

Secondly, Early Access means putting the focus on building the game up to a launch-ready state. Right now, it’s really really fun to shoot dinos. But can we make it more? Is it only fun to shoot them in one particular way, or can you shoot them in many other ways? Do you like min-maxing gear and getting the most optimal damage output or is finding weird combinations of things that work more interesting? Is Jürgen OP, or is Rosie really the sleeper solo-only character? How much do you want to pimp out your characters in unicorn hoodies or would you rather have more serious cosmetics? Features and systems are just as interesting and important as the next dinosaur species.

We’re a pretty small team here in Malmö with big ambitions and we want to do what’s right for both the game and the community. We’ll keep the lines of communication open and strive to be as transparent as possible - if you haven’t yet, join the Discord, follow the social media channels, or post on the forums. We’re also going to try to update the game frequently, and we’ll be constantly looking at your feedback on how things are going.

Ultimately, we’re on a journey together that will go beyond Early Access into launch. On behalf of the team, I look forward to working with you all as we look to Reclaim Earth.

Cheers,
Julianne “Elusive” Harty
Product Owner
