Escanor Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hello, once again we're sorry for the huge delay on this update. I am the sole developer on Athens and when things come up IRL for me, development comes to a complete stop. Additionally, we have yet to setup a proper beta testing server which means just like development, I am the only person testing my changes. It is a very poor choice and I've already started taking steps to ensure that this doesn't happen next update. I'll also be making an effort to start posting development blogs as opposed to giving you guys ETA's. Without further ado, lets take a look at what's taken so long! Vorago Raids Due to Vorago being near dead content due to his poor/irritating mechanics and overall lack of fun we've decided to spice things up! Vorago Raids differs from both Solo and Survivor in the fact that there is only one difficulty level (hard) and there are less restrictions. You can bring your own food to Vorago Raids Yes, that means owner cape is allowed! Vorago Raids is composed of THREE waves. Two waves consisting of Living Rock Creatures and then the final boss fight, Vorago himself. The first two waves are very basic and don't require much knowledge to complete. The amount of Rock Creatures that spawn and their HP scales based on your party size. Vorago Fight All of Vorago's attacks are aimed at everyone in the party. There is no "tank" or any way to avoid being targeted. Please be warned... getting too close to Vorago will be unwise for both you and your team. Vorago does two main attacks that he randomly picks between Rock Projectile Vorago will throw a rock that players must dodge Magic This is a normal magic attack (can be deflected with protect magic) Vorago has two special attacks that rotate every six normal attacks he does Seismic Rock Fall Half the players in the raid will be targeted with falling rocks (the next time this attack is carried out it'll be the other half). The longer a player stays in one place, the higher damage he'll take. By moving around, whatever damage has been accumulated, will begin to decrease. Seismic Beam Blue beams will spout from the ground all over the room. Move out of the way to avoid taking massive damage. Rewards The box amounts are randomly generated. They will not always be the same as displayed in the interface below. The Book of Omens (last drop in the image displayed) is the drop you're all looking for. Opening this book will grant you one of the Seismic weapons. However, on top of the book you'll also need a total of 4 upgrade stones. Raids changes and fixes Decreased price to enter solo raids Significantly decreased solo raids requirements Buffed Solo Raids loot Fixed Survivor Raids not deleting food/box when leaving You can now right-click invite other players to your team If the party leader leaves the team, the next player takes over as the new leader and the raid can continue Rewards This applies for both Survivor and Vorago Raids The reward system for both Survivor and Vorago Raids have been reworked. They now allow for higher drop rate and a new feature called streaks. Drop rate item boosts in raids will be divided by 10 from their original rate. Raids streaks allow players to get higher drop rate. And to top it off, having a party of multiple members has a slight boost in drop rate. Administrators can now hold larger raiding parties of up to 10 players and they can also boost the drop rate server wide. These will be used for events and to increase community interaction. Streaks This applies for both Survivor and Vorago Raids A streak is the consecutive amount of raids a team can successfully complete. The actions below will reset a teams streak: Adding another player - so be sure to have the team you want before starting your streak Everyone dying Everyone leaving the party - this includes leaving the lobby area Upgrade Stones & Upgrade changes This update introduces a new item, Upgrade Stones. These are only obtained from upgrading power crystals, Solo raids, and vorago raids. Upgrade Stones will have many purposes in the future but at the moment they are currently used to open a Book of Omens and forge Raids weapons into their upgraded counter parts at a 100% success rate Decreased the chance to upgrade Solo Raids weapons by 5% Added more upgradeable items: Power Crystals -> Upgrade Stone Animal Bow ->Athens Supreme Bow Cash Caskets Cash Caskets now have a new look! Additionally, two more versions have been added to the game. The larger the casket, the more cash it gives. Crystal Key Shop You can now put your crystal keys to good use by visiting the crystal key shop! To open the shop click on the crystal key chest at home. Vote Rework Vote scrolls have been given a significant buff. They give a larger range of 1b tickets : We've also added more rewards to the vote box: The amount of vote points given from scrolls have been increased If you haven't already seen, we're also hosting monthly voting competitions to win a Voting hat and Discord Nitro's.
