Every day, War Objectives change hands and entire regions fall as the war rages on. This week, we are expanding upon the existing War features while introducing some new ones. [image]http://cms.battleon.com/ed/images/all_regional_swords_dns.jpg[/image] Collect them all! New Regional Weapons This week, we will be introducing 6 new regional weapons. You can find them at the Dread Plains Control Array, Fortune City Battle Arena, and the Archive AI in the Biodome. [image]http://cms.battleon.com/ed/images/DN_Regional_Swords_Dread_Plains.png[/image] Dread Destroyers - Control Array [image]http://cms.battleon.com/ed/images/DN_Regional_Swords_Fortune_City.png[/image] Fortune City Slayers - Battle Arena [image]http://cms.battleon.com/ed/images/DN_Regional_Swords_Biodome.png[/image] Bio Busters - Archives AI Some may be confused about how to acquire these devastating new weapons. Allow me to clarify: in order to unlock these regional weapons, your alignment must control a key War Objective in a region. For example, to unlock the Barrens Busters, your alignment must control the Bazaar in the Barrens Outpost region. This unlocks a supply of 5 of each weapon, BUT they will restock periodically. Holding the key War Objectives longer allows as many of your fellow soldiers to have a chance at the weapons as possible.

By equipping these cores onto a weapon, the owner would be granted an influence buff for a certain number of victories. Currently, if a limited-charge core is exchanged/removed, it is destroyed, even if it has a remaining balance of charges left. In the future, we would like Cores to behave more like regular items that can be equipped and unequipped to items. However, this requires a greater discussion of intense interface and programming changes so it will need to wait for a later update. War Chests Last week, we finally "opened" the War Chests to all those who already owned them to reveal 8 regional influence buffs. Unfortunately, those who purchased War Chests after the release found their locks still intact. This week we will be fixing that by unlocking all the remaining War Chests. However, the War Chests will no longer be available with the Legion or Exile promotional packages once we go live. All of the marketing materials will be updated to reflect this change. [image]http://cms.battleon.com/ed/images/war_chest_dns.jpg[/image] Last Chance for War Chests! Achieve Greater Have you collected all the regional War achievements yet? Really? Impressive. Now, can you level each achievement all the way to the max? It won't be easy, but each level earned represents a new tier of mastery and truly epic bragging rights. [image]http://cms.battleon.com/ed/images/new_war_cheevos_dns.jpg[/image] New Achievements! Since we're adding so many new achievements, we thought it would be helpful to give you a way to easily track your progress through the war. Through the map screen, you will be able to easily see your battle contributions for each region and how close you are to reaching the next tier! [image]http://cms.battleon.com/ed/images/heat_map_dns.jpg[/image] Additionally, you can now determine at a glance which War Objectives are on the verge of switching alignments and need your immediate attention for defense or offense. Also, each War Objective will now show your personal Influence contribution! Can you dominate them all? Claim the Battlefield With the update on Friday, the controlling alignment will be able to alter the appearance of many of the War Objective screens. Drape war banners over the Battle Arena, flood the Minetower with Legion guards, or move your troops to secure the Control Array. Now, when you capture a region, everyone will know it! [image]http://cms.battleon.com/ed/images/Dynamic_war_screens_dns.jpg[/image] Under new Management. These changes will persist in the battle backgrounds, allowing you to duel while your Faction's banner flies high in the background! Wow! That's quite a few additions for a regularly scheduled release. Stay tuned for more updates!

Interesting...

Mother1 -> RE: Design Notes: July 11, 2013 (7/11/2013 20:13:55)
Thank you for these design notes. That was all the incentive I needed to go hard core once again.

The Incredible Hulk -> RE: Design Notes: July 11, 2013 (7/11/2013 20:15:41)
More weapons & achievements? Wow......mhmmm..interesting; something new every week....NOT!

Rayman -> RE: Design Notes: July 11, 2013 (7/11/2013 20:18:18)
Yep, Seems very good, But Taking alot of time to add these image e.e, I'll add all the images I can.

The Incredible Hulk -> RE: Design Notes: July 11, 2013 (7/11/2013 20:21:16)
Weapons look cool. I wonder who created them? TrizZz? & why are there always swords in the game. why not something else ;/.

TRizZzCENTRINO -> RE: Design Notes: July 11, 2013 (7/11/2013 20:26:17)
@above no, charfade created most, i didn't make any after the moose bane simply because that i got alot of holiday homework to do lol. and thumbs up to charfade, she did an awesome job on those swords!. and swords are usable by all classes not like class specific items, more convenient, if they make class specific items then it would require more time, though i do want a war themed zooka

Rayman -> RE: Design Notes: July 11, 2013 (7/11/2013 20:27:13)
Ok, I'm Finally Done Adding all the images.

Q...Q -> RE: Design Notes: July 11, 2013 (7/11/2013 20:30:39)
Where are the bombs? Where are the artilery strikes? This 1v1 slaughter just got to an higher level.

NDB -> RE: Design Notes: July 11, 2013 (7/11/2013 20:33:37)
There's no way anybody sane is going to "Collect them all!". I mean c'mon. There are way too many swords, limited rares, and on top of all that they don't even look that cool. They really need to just make 1 or 2 weapons at once but make them look really neat instead going crazy on this stuff when nobody is going to be able to buy them all. This update will be meaningless except for the achievements.

TRizZzCENTRINO -> RE: Design Notes: July 11, 2013 (7/11/2013 20:41:58)
ha ha it was just an expression, you can get whatever weapons you like, and plus everyone has their own definition of cool, some may think the dread destroyers are cool while others may not. that's why releasing many weapons with different style and art is a good idea

beastmo -> RE: Design Notes: July 11, 2013 (7/11/2013 21:23:43)
Maybe a cheevo tier chart on DN's? To see how much influence each level needs to be upgraded

Q...Q -> RE: Design Notes: July 11, 2013 (7/11/2013 21:29:14)
Ill give 1000 varium for all of the highest tier cheevos.

kosmo -> RE: =ED= July 11th, 2013 - A New Level Of Warfare (7/11/2013 21:39:49)
I hope the influ to get cheevos is challenging enought.

DanniiBoiixD -> RE: =ED= July 11th, 2013 - A New Level Of Warfare (7/11/2013 22:38:07)
So when are we actually going to fight in a war? All I see us doing is fighting in a new (permanent?) system that is very repetitive because of no real reward from fighting, just some weapons that are overpriced for no reason and some tiered achievements that you have to be overdosed on crack to get because of how boring the battles are these days.

T.600 -> RE: =ED= July 11th, 2013 - A New Level Of Warfare (7/12/2013 1:17:54)
New achievements, weapons and random war stuff that I don't care about each week. I wish for fresh content...maybe one day...one day it will come.

ND Mallet -> RE: =ED= July 11th, 2013 - A New Level Of Warfare (7/12/2013 1:34:54)
quote: So when are we actually going to fight in a war? I have to ask what exactly makes this event "not a war"? Because currently we're fighting for control of land and key points around Delta V. Most wars are measured in terms of land held by one side or the other, if not the whole purpose of the war being to hold as much land as possible and to drive the enemy out.

Scyze -> RE: =ED= July 11th, 2013 - A New Level Of Warfare (7/12/2013 2:16:06)
I didn't see what the change was after the Exiles won the Infernal War. (I was off on a month-long holiday being stupid and also eating a lot of doughnuts.) This war just started out of nowhere and now, I'm expecting to finally see a change around Delta V. After Exile/Legion win, Delta V should be changed right? We're fighting for Order or Freedom and so we shall see it! quote: New achievements, weapons and random war stuff that I don't care about each week. I wish for fresh content...maybe one day...one day it will come. This is the same for me. These Weapons could have been made at a later point but now the storyline should be developed. I'm tired of seeing recolored items. It might have a purpose but I'm just bored...

kaiseryeux21 -> RE: =ED= July 11th, 2013 - A New Level Of Warfare (7/12/2013 2:25:32)
this war is not that boring as what other players thought. Yes, this is far more different from infernal war and frysteland war because this war currently has no war bombs, no npc's to fight and no varium only features that gives advantage to an allignment, but this is actually a good event. the new weapons are obviously a lot expensive but we are given a lot of time to farm for credits. And not to deny the weapons certainly looks cool. I have not owned a single regional weapon but im aiming to own atleast 2 or 3 swords. We are still not on the climax of the war and the new tier achievement is one evidence that we will be getting more content as the weeks approaches. Let's just be a little patient. As some players would suggest, a break for atleast 1 or 2 weeks can help in bringing back the excitement on the game. I would also suggest to try different build to have some diversity. As a TM, i tried supp/str, focus, caster, and now im currently using a high dex max overload and max plasma rain and its fun in 2 vs 2. I mean sometimes, the excitement must come within our self. We cannot all rely to the devs to give us what we want. learn to find ways to enjoy this game. Just my opinion.

Cookielord12 -> RE: =ED= July 11th, 2013 - A New Level Of Warfare (7/12/2013 4:18:46)
And the Juggernauts got delayed once more...

ValkyrieKnight -> RE: =ED= July 11th, 2013 - A New Level Of Warfare (7/12/2013 6:14:49)
This is even more reason why we need the ability to store cores, this is ridiculous. All these weapons are exactly the same.

Silver Sky Magician -> RE: =ED= July 11th, 2013 - A New Level Of Warfare (7/12/2013 6:20:07)
Devs, almost one month into the war, I have no idea what on earth it is about. No NPCs, no storyline, no goal, no progress meter, no explanation. This isn't a war, it's a new faction system. Please do something about it.

Trae -> RE: =ED= July 11th, 2013 - A New Level Of Warfare (7/12/2013 6:48:50)
hmmm unlocking the rest of the war chests........... does that mean theres more in there?

Jekyll -> RE: =ED= July 11th, 2013 - A New Level Of Warfare (7/12/2013 7:00:57)
^Unfortunately, no. The devs are just going to open the War Chest for those people who bought it after last week's release, when it was opened. Those who opened it already will get nothing with this update.

Trae -> RE: =ED= July 11th, 2013 - A New Level Of Warfare (7/12/2013 7:13:56)
^ Oh thanks
