A Letter From Dragonheir: Silent Gods Developer — Global Launch Preview

Community Announcements - zhaoyuhan.zyh

To Adenthia's pioneering Adventurers:

Greetings, one and all! As Dragonheir: Silent Gods S0 draws to a close, we have been grateful for your company for over two months now! Seeing so many Adventurers enthusiastically enjoying the immersion of our vibrant world and rich stories in tandem with highly strategic battles and versatile character line-ups has been a real pleasure for all of us here!
So many players have spoken fondly of their experience of the story and urged us to release story updates. Rest assured! This is only the beginning! Your adventures in Adenthia will brim with even more ambitious stories, with even more engaging, diverse content. We have been working tirelessly to bring even more new content that will be simultaneously launched with the Global Launch on September 19th!
Equally, we take player feedback and suggestions seriously! We aim to address any problems you encountered with our many improvements and adjustments newly implemented in the Global Launch. For any questions you may have about this new version, hopefully the following will clarify everything:

[Map & Story]

Q1: Will there be any [New Maps] added to the Global Launch?

A1: The brand new Underground Sandbox will be coming to the Global Launch soon. It will feature new challenges of both main quests and local quests, ensuring players will have plenty of playable content by Mid-Season.

Q2: Will the [Story] be updated in the Global Launch?

A2: To ensure players have a more immersive, rewarding and complete experience, we have added a substantial amount to the storyline of the Plains and Underground (new map!) in the Global Launch.

[New Content & Adjustments]

Q1: When will the population [Lizardfolk] be available in the Player Character customization?

A1: The moment you have all been waiting for, Adventurers! The new customizable lizardfolk will be launched simultaneously with the Global Launch, allowing you to pick this population for your newest playthrough!

Q2: Will any [New Heroes] be added to the Global Launch?

A2: Over 60 new heroes will be added to the Global Launch! Moreover, we will continue to update frequently in later Seasons to ensure players will always have new builds to explore.

Q3: Will [Elemental Affinity] in the Global Launch be different than that in the previous game version? How will it be changed?

A3: Seasons are a key feature of our game. Each Season sees a rotation shift in Elemental Affinity and its rules, guaranteeing a different experience at all gameplay stages. In S1, [Fire & Poison], [Radiance & Lightning], and [Necrosis & Ice] will form new pairings.

Q4: Some heroes don't have suitable [Artifacts], while some powerful artifacts cannot be assigned to multiple heroes at once.

A4: We intended the artifact system to allow players to develop their heroes with greater flexibility and to choose their favored progression path. Therefore, we will continue introducing a wider range of artifacts for you to choose from. After the Global Launch is launched, over 20 new artifacts will be introduced. We'll also introduce more ways to acquire artifacts, helping Adventurers progress more quickly.

Q5: There are not enough [Rewards] from quests and events, and some rewards cannot be obtained by average players in a reasonable amount of time.

A5: We heard your feedback! In the Global Launch, we will be improving reward content and reducing the acquisition threshold for some rewards, allowing players a smoother development path.

Q6: When I encounter [Difficulties] in-game, I often need to spend half the day working it out. Is there any better way to seek help?

A6: Once the Global Launch is live, we will launch a built-in AI Q&A Wizard to answer all sorts of everyday questions in-game, helping players jump into the game in no time!

Q7: There are too many heroes! Which heroes do you [Recommend for Development] early on? Who is the best choice for each different Dungeon?

A7: Having more heroes to choose from can make strategic team building more fun, but it inevitably increases the training costs for new players. To address this issue, we will be updating the Lineup Tips feature in the Global Launch. Players will be able to rate each card and provide their own lineup recommendations for different Dungeons. By promoting communication and exchanges among players, everyone's understanding of the game will be improved overall.

[Dungeons]

Q1: Will there be any new [EXP Dungeon] besides Goblin Lair?

A1: There'll be a new EXP Dungeon in the Underground Sandbox giving players the room to experiment with AOE lineups and development rate. The Dungeon will feature a set number of monster waves, with rewards being granted according to the number of waves cleared. Adventurers that clear every wave will obtain all the rewards!

Q2: The [Dungeon Reward] items are limited, and some Dungeons are not challenging enough in the late game.

A2: In the Global Launch, new content will be added to the Pillar of Trial and the Fey Meander, posing players with even more of a challenge. We have also added a host of new rewards: limited legendary artifacts, limited epic heroes, and a number of entirely exclusive rewards unobtainable through purchases! Even more beneficial, this Dungeon type will encourage players to experiment with and devise even better strategies for clearing Dungeons.

Q3: Will there be any other [New Dungeon] designs for the game?

A3: Besides the regular Dungeons, the new Season Dungeon will be introduced with the Global Launch. Players will be given advance notice before this Dungeon opens. We recommend that players prepare even more lineups to face the complex challenges that await! Season Events will be launched Mid-Season, where you can acquire limited legendary heroes and artifacts! These rewards are exclusive to Season Dungeon and are not available through summons, purchase, or any other means.

Q4: The [Alliance System] has very few quests and events. Will you consider adding more related activities?

A4: We would like Alliance to hold a greater role in the game, promoting a sense of community and belonging among players. Since the official Global Launch, the cap on Alliance members will be increased from the original 30 up to 50, and a new Alliance PVP mode will be added. The structure of Temporal Vortex will be revamped and corresponding Alliance rankings will be introduced. The challenge mode difficulty selection will also be optimized, allowing players to have more freedom in choosing their preferred difficulty.

[PVP]

Q1: Will PVP be available cross-server in future?

A1: We will enable cross-server PVP when appropriate, enriching the matchmaking experience for players. Availability is tied to a server's overall player progress, thereby avoiding excessive level disparities during cross-server matching.

Q2: Resources are limited in the early game! It's too difficult to [Simultaneously Train Multiple Lineups] for PVP!

A2: Of Dragonheir: Silent Gods' various PVP modes, Asynchronous PVP is a terrific strategy tester. But, one issue has given many players a headache — the high cost of hero training. It makes putting together more lineups difficult. This pitfall will be addressed in the Global Launch: The level of all a player's heroes will be synchronized to match the highest level hero they currently have. We believe that lower costs will help Adventurers develop more powerful combinations!

Q3: Will there be any [New PVP Mode] in the Global Launch?

A3: PVP in the Global Launch version will introduce a tag combat. Each player is required to assemble 3 lineups to compete. The strategy aspect will definitely be more thrilling!

[Other Updates]

As well as the above, we have made other changes and improvements that we would like to share with our Adventurers:

●Payments

When the Global Launch debuts, the Pass Feature will also go live. This feature allows Adventurers to obtain a lot of resources for free, as well as being able to pay to unlock more rare items. This ensures that every player will receive a regular flow of rewards!

●Servers

To welcome new players to Adenthia, we are further enhancing our servers, increasing player capacity in each (from 10,000 to 50,000).

●Art & Graphics

Compared to Close Beta Test 2, the art in the Global Launch will be heavily iterated. Maps, monsters, loading pages, skills and summoning effects will all be optimized further, whilst 4K resolution will be supported for PC.

[Season Reset, Off-Season and Server Merge]

Seasons in Adenthia run on 12–14-week cycles. At the end of a Season, Adventurers are rewarded according to their performance that Season, and after a brief pause, progress into a new Season.
In accordance with Season reset guidance in-game, player data from S0 will be fully retained, partly retained or completely cleared during S1 depending on the classification, as per the following:

●Fully Retained Content

① All Avatars and Avatar Frames obtained by the player.
② Wyrmarrow, Dragon Crystals, Summon Dice, Skill Scrolls and unexpired Monthly Cards.
③ Pure Sandcores, all of which can be exchanged for appropriate rewards in the Season Shop.
*Note: At the start of a new Season, Echo of Clepsydra acquired in the previous Season will be automatically converted to Pure Sandcores at a ratio of 100:1.

●Partly Retained Content

① Heroes, Skill Levels, and Inspiration Levels will be retained, but the Hero Level will be reset to Lv.1.
② Artifacts will be retained, but the Artifact Level will be reset to Lv.1.
③ A certain percentage of Essence of Creation obtained through Hero Summoning will be retained (consumed or not). Additionally, players will be rewarded with extra Essence of Creation in the new Season according to their in-game progress.
④ Unlocked Arcane Spells and Attribute Points acquired by the Player Character will be retained and can be reallocated at the start of a new Season.

●Fully Cleared Content

① Elemental Affinity Levels will be completely reset, in tandem with the rotation of Elemental Affinity rules in the new Season.
② Mist will regenerate on the Map, requiring players to re-explore the world to unlock the various teleport sites.

●About This Off-Season

The game is currently in the final stages of Global Launch (September 19th) preparation. After S0 ends (August 22nd), we will have a relatively long Off-Season to ensure that all players, new and old, are synchronized for S1 progression during the Global Launch. No new content or events will be available during this period, but players can continue to play.

●About Server Merge

Since the official Global Launch, we will increase the player capacity of our new servers even further. Servers involved in S0 will be unified in a merge. Detailed merge rules will be announced later, so please stay patient and wait for the latest news!

Thank you all for showing Dragonheir: Silent Gods your interest and support! Our game will release its Global Launch on September 19th, at which time it will be available on multiple platforms, including mobile and PC, with cross-platform data exchange, and support for 13 languages.
We look forward to meeting you in Adenthia and writing a brand-new chapter in your saga!

The Path of Glouphrie | September 13th

Old School RuneScape - Mod Vex

Today’s update brings a long-awaited sequel…

The Path of Glouphrie

As part of our last Game Jam, we began the process of porting another iconic RuneScape quest to Old School RuneScape – and made a few improvements while we were at it!

Give a warm welcome to The Path of Glouphrie, the sequel to The Eyes of Glouphrie and the next part in the gnome questline.

In The Eyes of Glouphrie, you revealed a sinister espionage plot aimed at the Gnome Stronghold. Now it seems that King Bolren has acquired a worrying new pet. It appears that Glouphrie’s next target is the Tree Gnome Village… what could he be planning?

Start the quest by speaking to King Bolren in the Tree Gnome Village!

If you can't see the video above, click here to play it!

Requirements and Rewards

Completion of The Eyes of Glouphrie, Waterfall Quest and Tree Gnome Village
60 Strength
56 Slayer
56 Thieving
47 Ranged
45 Agility

Upon completion you'll be rewarded with:

2 Quest Points
Poison Waste Dungeon Access
Two Lamps offering a total of 20,000 Slayer XP and 5,000 Thieving XP
Two Lamps offering a total of 30,000 Strength XP and 5,000 Magic XP

New Poison Waste Dungeon

Upon completion of The Path of Glouphrie, you'll also gain access to a brand-new (for Old School) Slayer Dungeon

Here, you’ll have the chance to take on deadly Warped Tortoises and Terrorbirds. But wait – these aren’t the beasties you remember. We’ve taken the opportunity to totally rebalance their stats and loot tables – and while we were at it, we’ve also implemented a few other quality of life changes:

Players no longer need to use a Crystal Chime on Warped Tortoises and Terrorbirds during a fight. Instead, they need only have one in their Inventory.
Crystal Chimes are now made from a separate Crystal Seed than the Crystal Saw. No more swapping between them!
The dungeon creatures share a single ‘warped creatures’ Slayer Task, rather than having individual ones.

This Slayer Task is opt-in, so you’ll need to unlock it.
We’re also polling an additional block slot unlocked at 300 Quest Points.

The Warped Sceptre

We’ve also added an Old School-exclusive unique drop to the Poison Waste Dungeon – the Warped Sceptre. This mid-level item is a drop from the Warped Creatures, which can be killed off-task if you so choose.

While the drop rates will remain a secret on the first day of the quest, as is tradition, we promise to release them soon.

In terms of the current meta, you’ll find that Iban’s Staff will outperform the Warped Sceptre in raw DPS until you hit level 81 Magic, at which point its damage output will be higher. For those of you with lower Magic levels, you’ll find that the Warped Sceptre is still a great mid-level unlock, and almost certainly something you’ll want to work towards before you get your hands on your first Trident.

As the Warped Sceptre is a self-powered staff, you’ll be able to use it with any Spellbook you choose. Its other strength is its high attack speed, which means that boosts to Magic damage from Elidinis’ Ward, the Occult Necklace, the Imbued God Capes, and other items will scale more effectively with the Warped Sceptre than with Iban’s Staff.

Finally, it looks awesome. Check out the claws!

Future Polled Additional Slayer Block Slot

The release of Path of Glouphrie means that there are now a whopping 300 Quest Points available for you spacebar-smashing crusaders to get your hands on.

Currently, every 50 Quest Points unlocks a new Slayer block slot. We considered building this into today’s update, but since this addition significantly alters existing Slayer metas, we thought we’d poll it just in case.

You’ll be able to cast your vote on this issue in our next poll, which is currently scheduled for the end of September. If this change passes, you can expect it to launch fairly quickly – so you won’t have to wait too long!

Mobile TLI Beta

Today’s update also brings the foundations for the Mobile TLI Beta. From tomorrow, Thursday 14th, you’ll have access to exclusive Beta worlds which use the new mobile UI. In a Beta worlds first, you’ll also have access to a copy of your main game save, so you can try playing exactly how you’re used to while taking the new UI for a test drive.

PLEASE NOTE: TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS BETA YOU WILL NEED TO MANUALLY UPDATE THE OLD SCHOOL RUNESCAPE MOBILE CLIENT BY VISITING THE GOOGLE PLAY OR APP STORE. IF THIS IS NOT DONE, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE UI ISSUES WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN BETA AND NON-BETA WORLDS.

If you’d like to use your main game save on a Beta world, we recommend first logging into a normal world and making your way to the Settings menu. Select Gameplay and scroll down to the bottom to see the new Beta worlds options.

Here, you’ll be able to convert a save for use on the Beta worlds or reset your current Beta worlds save for a fresh experience. Without a converted save, you’ll be shunted back to Tutorial Island with the rest of the n00bs – although since this is a Beta world, you’ll be offered a handy teleport to the mainland if you’d like to start your adventure right away.

You'll be able to access the content in the following worlds:

World 585 - AUS
World 586 - GER
World 587 - UK
World 588 - US West
World 589 - US East

Once you’re finished playing around in the Beta, simply switch to a normal world and resume playing however you normally would.

This has been a big project, and we’re excited to hear your feedback. We’ll be keeping a close eye on discussion so feel free to join the conversation on the Official Old School Discord’s Mobile Beta channels.

To leave your feedback, simply head to the Official Old School Discord and find the "OSRS Mobile" category. From there, you'll see plenty of channels to leave your feedback.

Below you’ll also find a Mobile UI Beta Survey (ooh!) where you can tell us your thoughts. We’ll be paying close attention to all your feedback to make sure the next steps are aligned with the community’s expectations – so be sure to let us know what you think!

Other Changes

We’re also launching a Poll 80 change today! As of this update, the Wintertodt respawn timer is now fixed at one minute. A handy countdown will appear in the empty energy bar.

The remaining high-priority Poll 80 changes are coming next week – including the Callisto chip damage changes and the Medium Diary requirement for Wilderness bosses. Community feedback has told us that these changes are very important to you, so we hope you’re looking forward to ‘em!

Speaking of our lovely community, you’ve been having some heated discussions regarding a new AFK Mining method developed after the Desert Treasure II launch. You resourceful lot have been using the Salt deposits in the Duke’s fight to mine to your heart’s content! While we admire your tenacity, we don’t feel that this method is good for the game. We love a good low-intensity training method, but this appears to be ‘free XP’ – and we don’t like that.

We’ve seen all sides of the conversation and understand that some of you don’t see any harm in keeping this unintended training method around. However, we hope that you trust us to do what’s best for the game – and in this case, that means making this method unviable.

As of today’s update, Mining the Duke’s Salt deposits for more than five minutes will tire you out and cause you to stop for a breather.

We also have some minor changes and improvements this week:

Fixed wording on the GIM leaving interface.
GIM leaders who wish to abdicate no longer need another active member in their group to do so.
The Grand Exchange sales fee is no longer charged on Deadman: Apocalypse worlds.
You can now check charges remaining on the Blade of Saeldor while it is equipped.
The Bind, Snare, and Entangle spells now give slightly different XP depending on whether the spell will hit or splash. This also means that you can predict success by looking at how much XP you’ve received.

For Bind, a success now gives 31 XP, up from 30.
For Snare, a success now gives 61 XP (plus damage), up from 60.
Entangle already had an XP difference in PvP combat, and we’ve applied the same numbers to PvM. A success is now worth 89 XP, up from 70.

The Wilderness Diary Task that required players to kill a lava dragon and bury its Bones now completes when the dragon is killed, without requiring you to do any burying – after all, that’s not the hard part of the challenge!
The Locator Orb is now permitted in Castle Wars.

[Riktor]

Systems Added/Improved

[Low Priority Matchmaking System Added]
- A penalty system based on Honor Grade has been added to matchmaking.
Please click the link below to learn more about Low Priority Matchmaking.

▶ Low Priority Matchmaking System Info

[Honor Points Reset]
- <Substandard> grade accounts will have their Honor Points reset to 0.

[Hero Passive Removed]
- Rampage and Kallari passive skills are removed.

We've heard a lot of your concerns about certain heroes getting updated Passives first while others did not.
After reviewing the data, we've concluded that it would be best to remove Rampage and Kallari's Passives for now.
We envision Hero Passives allowing individual heroes to be able play more into their unique roles and create more interesting combat situations. However, we may have been a little hasty about adding them, so we will continue to work on them and introduce them to the game again at a later, more opportune time.
