New News and Updates Round-up
With so many players on so many different platforms, the team and I found that our information had become really scattered over the last few years. Last month, we began these "round-up" Design Notes posts make sure everyone has access to all of the same info, no matter which platform you use. Read on to get all the latest news on updates, fixes, and sneak peeks.
Recent Bug Fixes
The following issues should have been resolved with yesterday's server restart:
- NPC Friendship hearts still missing
- Inability to give gifts to NPCs
- Bugged guild commands
- Some enemies unable to be stunned
AQW:Infinity + Artix Goes to PAX East
AdventureQuest Worlds: Infinity is going to PAX: East. Read Artix's full post on the game's final (for real this time) name and keep checking back for more updates on the mobile port of AQWorlds: https://aq2d.com/posts/
NPC Art Sneak Peek
New NPC art preview from Hikari of Young Gravelyn. Go back in time and battle as Young Empress Gravelyn during Part 1 of our "Dage the Evil: The Curse and The Blessing" story event. Our Month of EVIL events continues this weekend.
NPC Friendship System update
Dialogue updates: Last week, we added Gravelyn, Dage, and Nulgath to the NPC Friendship map in /battleodium. In response to your feedback, Cylisse wrote the new NPCs’ talk dialogue to be more unique to their characters. In the future, we’ll add new NPCs like this or circle back to give the older NPCs refreshed dialogue.
Player Request: MORE GOOD GEAR!
The message: Last week, AQW Hero TheLynxDev tweeted: "It feels like the past two months have been months of evil. Can Good and Chaos get some love for a change, in new Rares, classes, and stories? I'm pretty tired of every Rare shop lately having nothing but Evil items that wouldn't fit my character."
The reply: This came up at yesterday's schedule + script review. Good-themed items have been coming in as we prepare for Swordhaven's restoration (now that Queen Victoria has time focus on local matters). Keep an eye on the post-March schedule for more info!
