Charging In To Battle!
Posted by Staff on 6 May 2017, 4:36 am
Hi All!
After some considerations, we’ve decided to release the combat update earlier than we had originally intended, for a few reasons. Firstly we want to make sure you all have enough time to adjust and get in a little practice before the tournament, and secondly, we also need your help in testing the system!
Currently, the system lacks a bit of polish - but this will come later. We’re looking to set the groundwork for now. Notably, a lot of the particularly powerful items may be difficult to come by, and this is intentional. We’ll likely improve the drop rates on these items after the tournament.
Primarily, though, we’d like to ask for a bit of patience while we sort out the numbers throughout the first week or so.
Battle System Feedback
What we’re looking for in this department is information regarding item drops as well as overall balance. If a monster feels too weak, let us know - if an item is too powerful, let us know - that sort of thing. This information will be reported in the Feedback Thread (linked below). While we can make adjustments to values (such as how likely an item is to drop, how much damage an item does, or what sort of stats a monster might have), changing core designs is less likely to happen at this stage, so keep that in mind.
The Feedback Thread is located here:

Battle System Bugs
Now we’re not talking insects here, we’re trying to find for the mean, nasty kinds of bugs that ruin everyone’s fun. Right now we’re looking for things like obvious flaws with mechanics and calculations, but minor issues - such as misspelled descriptions, are useful as well. If anything seems wonky please report it in the thread linked below.
Additionally, if you discover an obvious exploit, please report it and don’t continue to exploit it. We’ve squashed the bugs that we noticed, but a system this big is inevitably going to have more bugs than we could find!
The Bug Report Thread is located here:

Battle System Change Log
There will be a lot of changes coming in as we work to use your feedback and bug reports to better balance the system. If you’d like to stay updated on all those goings on then please feel free to check in at the link below!

Goodies
To help everyone get started, we’ve added a login tracker on the front page that’ll award Warrior Elixirs and Chocolate Candy, as well as other goodies that you can claim once a day. Unlike the Daily Login Streak, you’ll be able to miss several days and still be able to claim all the rewards. And as long as you claim your rewards 20 times within the duration (expected duration is 40 days) you will still be able to collect the last tier rewards.
Awesome Goodies Are Here!
We also plan to give out a little reward for all of those that have clocked 200+ wins in the old Warrior system! So be on the lookout for that in the future.
Battle Item Shop Stock
Some new Battle related stock has been added to your Village Weapon Shops as well as the Recycle Shop. You’ll find some new basic armour in the Village shops and a few assorted goodies hanging out in the Recycle shop, Isadore is eager to take those Fur Gems off your hands.
Quick Guide for Getting Started
Any items you want to use with the new system you’ll need to convert manually from your inventory. Simply click the item and convert it to get started - remember, you don’t have to convert items that you want to save, and there are definitely perks for hanging on to legacy items so keep this in mind! Any new items created will be created with the new system.
To get started, all you’ll need is some store bought goods - but you can also use the stuff you’ll get in the above login tracker! At the very least, you’ll need to equip a new armour item as well as at least one weapon - though using a full kit will definitely help your chances of winning! From there, all you have to do is click a battleground and you’re good to go! If you get hurt - no worries, just eat some tasty chocolate and you can jump right back into the fray! Tired? Out of charges? Not a problem! Chug back a warrior elixir to have 20 charges restored, just like that! You’ll get some of these for free as well! Happy battling!
And once again, thanks for letting us ramble at you!

No D: I can't battle at all now! My weapons are too high leveled
Don't get me wrong I love the new idea but I can't do anything now :(
I don't have the slightest idea what to do in the battles now. I can't even equip any items.
Wait, what? My warriors' battles + win count dropped to 0. Oh man. :(
Oh.... I wish it would wipe my battle progress. :(
Ryujin I'm thinking that powerful weapons require higher levels before they can be used. We're all basically starting at the same baseline, so even if someone gets lucky and drops a thing, they might not be able to use it yet.
luvloveless Legacy weapons are ones crafted during the old system, with durability points and all that; they can't be used in the new system without being converted. Crafting new ones should work with the new system.
Also, converting an old school warrior with a high status should get you a trophy, given how they're handing out trophies like candy to people who spent money on ludicrous levels of weapon durability.
Everyone:
DO NOT CONVERT YOUR WARRIORS.
Since all the record of your awesome old-school warriors is blown away, hold off on converting them and make new warriors starting from scratch villagers. There's no advantage to using the old ones, nothing is saved. I wish I'd thought of this before basically throwing away half my warriors on conversions.
I wish it would have given players some sort of level boost. Or at least some basic weapons for the ones starting over. All the equipment I owned are too high a skill level for me when before I was using them just fine. That's just my little pet peeve. I'm super excited to be using the new system though and I can't wait for all the new things that you have in store for us.
get healing items? Sorry, I hit enter by accident;;

Old weapons made before the update.
Also I'm really confused. Why not write even a small description for the stats so people can know exactly what each stat dose? How do we gett
