Contents in this article are taken from a test version and could be subject to change for the final version. When this happens, we will inform you.
Another new update? Yes - we sometimes have to create updates just for stability purposes, as Android, Apple, Steam, and Epic Games are continuously creating updates themselves as well. In this update, we go over changes for Apple users’ webshop experience, Support upgrades, and Plight changes.
While the updates mentioned after ‘Apple only: Webshop removed’ count for all versions, only Apple users have to actually update their game, starting on November 12, 2024 at 06:00 UTC (before Guild Wars starts).
Apple only: Webshop removed
With this update, we have a change just for Apple users, where we decided to make some changes to Webshop visibility by removing any links redirecting you to the Webshop.
The Webshop of course is still accessible through the previous link (see ‘Webshop’ on top of our website) on your web browser, and players are still able to use Fair Coins for their purchases.
Android users are still able to access the Webshop as before.
Using your browser
If you log in through the website, you will need to manually enter a Player Code and Verify Code:
Step 1: Your game has a personal ID which you need, called a Player Code. You can find it on your Profile Page, then click 'Copy Player Code'.
Step 2: You also need a 'Verify Code'. It's a time-limited verification code found under Settings (icon on the top right). Click 'Generate Verify Code'.
Step 3: We're finally ready to login. At the website, click 'Login' and fill out your Player Code and Verify Code, then click 'Submit'.
You can click the price tags of items you want to purchase.
Please note that your Verify Code is valid for 30 days. After this, you need to repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to be able to log in at Step 3.
Support upgrades
Earlier this year we already upgraded Dog and Whisperer’s Mask a little bit. During the week of November 11, 2024, we will also implement buffs to other Supports. This way, we hope to make several Support items more relevant again. An additional Level 6 is on its way for later.
Check out the table below:
Challenge: Plight changes
As mentioned earlier, we are working on some difficulty improvements and gameplay variations. In preparation for this, we decided to start with the existing Plight, while developing new gameplay features simultaneously.
Don’t worry - the Weekly Challenge will still stop after its 90 current rounds. However, we feel the need to give the Weekly Challenge’s end, Plight, a small update to balance things out as part of your feedback during our Player Survey in June.
These changes will go live starting with the next Challenge on November 13, 2024. More info on actual new gameplay will follow as soon as possible.
From weekly to periodic
The first change we will make to Plight is the weekly change. Currently, we have a Plight consisting of 4 debuffs every week. This will be changed to a debuff variation for each Round. Variations will be changed periodically, with an announcement upfront.
Balancing
We are changing Rounds 81 and 82 to only have 3 debuffs instead of 4. Round 83/84/85/86 will remain the same, while Round 87/88 will have 5 debuffs and Round 89/90 will have 6 debuffs.
New debuffs
Three new debuffs have been added, called Disturbance 2, Raining 3, and Foggy 2. You can see descriptions for debuffs below.
Round 81 to 90
