Hello Raiders!
In this issue of RAIDDigest, we’ll give some explanation on Free Gear Removal Item, remind you about the Yncensa’s Buff [Poison Cloud] fix, and mention a few other things that a reputable Raider needs to know!

Grab some coffee, sit back, and dive into our regular #RAIDDigest!

Free Gear Removal items that you get from the Cursed City will remain in your Inbox for 99 days, unlike the ones you received as a gift after the recent release.
Rewards that were in the slots now occupied by Free Gear Removal boosters, now have been redistributed to neighboring reward slots of the same resource (Energy, Silver, etc.)
In the future, we’ll rework the design of these pop-ups to make them more straightforward. For now, if you don't want to apply a Free Gear Removal item, you need to mark the checkbox “Do not ask again this play session"” and click "Cancel" .

In the latest release, we should have fixed a bug so that the Slayer Artifact Set only caps the repeated damage on AoE skills whose damage scales based on an enemy's MAX HP.
Sadly, the fix did not work as we expected, so we revised it, and will finally release it in the nearest big update.

Yncensa Grail-bearer's buff [Poison Cloud] will stop being extendable starting from one of the future patches.

Following the introduction of the Epic Empowerment feature, we're launching several classic Dungeon tournaments (Ice Golem, Fire Knight, Dragon, Spider), with the condition of using Epic Champions only. Stay tuned for in-game notifications!

Now let's move to the final traditional part of the Digest - CvC Tournament. The next CvC Tournament will feature Personal Rewards - sharpen your swords and prepare for battle, everyone!

That's it for today's Digest. Have a great weekend!

Happy weekend! Here are the new additions and fixes in this update.

It was only after we released the Prologue for In Sink that we started to realise that some of our community members were having issues with the colors. Many of these players were either colorblind themselves or were playing with colorblind friends, partners, or family members, and they were finding the color-coded puzzles to be very difficult as a result. We wanted to resolve this issue and make In Sink a more accessible game for colorblind players, but we also wanted to retain the fact that our game was language-less. The big question was: What else could we add to our puzzles to help players describe certain elements to each other without using language in any way?


The answer was to add numbers and symbols!


Now everything that has a relevant color also has a symbol and/or a number associated with it, so the game can be played entirely without describing a single color!



The symbols in the game are in a 4x4 or 3x3 grid with the inspiration coming from the game Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. They are easy to describe so as to not add an additional challenge for our colorblind players. For example, looking at the symbols and numbers featured in the images below, “two diagonal lines” or “Lever number 8” are both two simple ways to summarise what you are seeing.



In short, we wanted to give players as many options as possible for describing what they are seeing to each other, rather than limiting it to colors only. This has changed the way we approach the design of our puzzles and has brought up even more interesting discussions, such as how people describe certain symbols, why they choose to describe them in that way, and what signifiers do people naturally default to when solving puzzles (i.e. do you prefer to use the colors, the symbols, the numbers, or a mixture of all of them?). Rather than limiting our puzzle design, it has opened up new avenues for consideration and has left us with even more to talk about in future dev diaries!

- Fix: The objective about finding a hut on the Hopen Island was sometimes not progressing when looking at the hut through binoculars / UZO / periscope.

- Fix: Indicator lights on various devices could be in an incorrect initial state after loading a saved game state.
- Fix: Indicator lights weren't changing its state during a pause.

Yours,
DWS

We have enabled an XP Boost event for all players which will be active during the next server restart. This event will run beginning today and is scheduled to end on June 17th depending on the time of the server reboot schedule.

We have also added a special set of daily rewards for this weekend only including some of the more rare gear along with skin crates that everyone can earn just for playing! These daily rewards will go live at the start of the next daily rewards rotation later tonight!
