Here we are everyone, the June update, the fifth update for the year is live and we’re still chuggin’. I hope you’re excited! Make sure your Armello client is up to date and jump on in there to access the latest bits and pieces.
If you want to cut to the chase and check out every single change we’ve made, you can find the patch notes here.
We’ve been getting our hands dirty, touching and adjusting a bunch of different dials. This update brings a long list of hugely important balance adjustments, including Heroes, signets, amulets and cards.
These adjustments are a breeze of fresh air and refine the Armello you know and love. I strongly recommend that you check out all of the juicy details of this feature in it’s original announcement post, here.
Wolf Clan enthusiasts, it’s your time to rally. Thane’s Novella marks the sixth and final novella until further notice. Now The King and the first four heroes of the prime clans of Armello have their tales.
To pick this up, simply visit Skeeve's Shop and he'll have it there for you, free of charge. From there to read it, head to your inventory and open it up! Find the full announcement here.
During the day if a Spirit Stone does not occupy a Stone Circle, a subtle particle effect will appear in one on the board, indicating where the next Spirit Stone will appear the coming night. If you're on the path to "cleanse" The King, keep a close eye out for the indicator and plan your moves wisely.
As always please hit us up on Twitter, Facebook and Reddit if that's up your alley and we'll see you soon.
Cheers,
<3 Darcy & the LoG Squad

The June Update beta is live
armello.com/updates
Well hello there,
I'm here to spread the good news about the June Update beta, which just went live! All of the features have been revealed and we've got our launch date locked in, 27th of June PT. The changes in this build are pretty wild, so we'd really value your thoughts on how everything is feelin'.
Just a heads up that we'll be holding back Thane's Novella from this beta build and it'll go live on the proper launch date.
How do I get in there?!
All you have to do is navigate to your Steam Library and locate Armello and do the following...
Right click Armello -> Properties -> Betas -> Select the open beta from the dropdown menu
This will download the beta version of Armello. Please be mindful that changing back will cause you to redownload the base game, if you're conscious of your downloads.
SUBMIT YOUR BUGS!
Please and thank you, you glorious individuals. Our QA team are the best of the best but anything can happen, so please be patient with us if you run into some weirdness. If something goes wrong, please submit an in-game bug report through the pause menu!
Known Issues
PLEASE NOTE: Drops are not currently working on the beta branch. We're in the process of resolving this, thank you for your patience.
The 'private game' button may show a debug string in some languages
The bugsender will sometimes appear to spin forever, but worry not, we are receiving your reports just fine!
Newly unlocked rings may not be available for use until you restart the game
Double Drops will be active on the beta branch SOON
As mentioned earlier, drops aren't currently working. Once that issue is resolved, double drops will be activated on the beta branch only. So for every chest you would receive after playing a game, you will instead receive two, effectively doubling your maximum possible daily chests. Soak up that delicious loot, bathe in it.
Try out all of the shiny new bits and pieces, hit the forums and chat it out. We're genuinely interested in your thoughts and appreciate any effort you make jam a thought into our minds.
Cheers,
<3 Darcy & the all powerful LoG Squad

Hi there,
Hope you're all well. So, all three of the juicy new June Update features have been revealed and we initially announced that the beta would be kicking off today. Unfortunately some pretty great back-end changes aren't in a state fit for public consumption quite yet.
Fear not! The beta will still go ahead, it'll kick off next week, June 20th PT, for a more regular round of testing, which will last for a week total. Thanks for your patience folks!

June Update Feature Reveal - Spirit Stone Telegraphing
armello.com/updates
Hello friends,
Welcome to the final feature reveal for the June Update, launching on the 27th PT. This one is short and sweet, but has a major impact on your ability to plan ahead and execute on the most spiritual victory condition.
During the day if a Spirit Stone does not occupy a Stone Circle*, a subtle particle effect will appear in one on the board, indicating where the next Spirit Stone will appear the coming night. If you're on the path to "cleanse" The King, keep a close eye out for the indicator and plan your moves wisely.
*(Spirit Stones spawned with Crystallise do not stop another from spawning)
As always, keep discussions flowing and feel free to hit me with any questions you might have. We'll talk soon!

June Update Feature Reveal - Novella
armello.com/updates
Howdy!
Welcome to the second feature reveal for the June update landing on the 27th PT. So, the first feature was the Balance, sure to satisfy the mechanically oriented minds. For the lore-heads out there, the sixth and final Novella is coming in the June update.
When we say final, anything is possible, but this is the last of what's written up and currently exists.
Any Wolf Clan fans out there? I think there might be a few. To pick this up, simply visit Skeeve's Shop and he'll have it there for you, free or charge. From there to read it, head to your inventory and open it up! Keep in mind that this won't be available during the beta, but when the build properly goes live.
Stay tuned for the third and final reveal for June and we'll chat soon!
