Update #15 v1.2
UPDATE #15 v1.2
-Skills – Skill Tree now has a ”Quick Fill” button after your first time shift. This will apply your currently available points to your previously applied skills of your last time shift.
-Skills – Skill Points from the Faction Window bonus no longer automatically fill in themselves so that they can be applied with the Quick Fill feature that was added. Note: They will temporarily remove themselves from your ‘skill points spent’ for the window faction bar until you spend them.
Keep in mind to reassign these before time shifting if you don’t want what they had defaulted to!
-SALE – 50% off of the price of philosopher stone packs for the rest of this month.
-Purchasing – Purchasing any of the real money items will now have an added permanent 1-time benefit of +50% HP and DMG. (This benefit can only be obtained a total of one time. Philosopher Stone packs, the value pack, and Beholder pet can all activate this bonus. Previous purchases do not activate the bonus. If the bonus is activated you will see a green +50% HP/DMG on the main gameplay area in the bottom lefthand next to the Mage’s Healthbar).
-NEW Knowledge Point Badges - New badges have been added to the Liquid Gold window. Specifically on the 500 stage marks between tiers (500,1500,2500). You can now see a badge that increases the EFFECTIVENESS of your KNOWLEDGE POINTS. This makes each knowledge point you have and obtain give you even more EXP gains. (You don’t have to time shift to activate this bonus).
-EXISTING Liquid Gold Badges - The existing liquid gold badge you unlock at each tier has been increased from a x2 bonus to a x3 bonus.
-NEW Liquid Gold Badges - New badges have been added to the Liquid Gold window. Specifically on the 500 stage marks between tiers (500,1500,2500). You can now see a badge that increases the amount of LIQUID GOLD FIND you have by x2. (These all stack) (You don’t have to time shift to activate this bonus).
Note: Badges, once unlocked, remain unlocked after time shifting.
-CACHES - Philo Stone – Caches now have a 10% chance to drop 5 philosopher stones when clicked. For those with less time to play you have a chance at earning some extra. For those that play a lot you can see some extra rewards for your efforts.
-Dragon Eggs – In the Dragon Egg window you can now trade in 50 dragon eggs for 2% permanent hp/dmg (multi). (This doesn’t unlock until reaching Stage 1000 - T1 -)
The bonus isn’t absolutely overpowered because we want you to be able to spend them in the normal egg buffs without feeling like you’re missing out on the dmg/hp bonus.
--A lot of “Quality of Life” improvements--
-UI – Lots and lots and lots of various UI tweaks and improvements to make fonts and tooltips bigger and information more clear.
-Skills – Are now larger and easier to click
-Idle Chest – Clicking the Idle Chest will now open the tooltip to a button to claim the reward. Some people like to watch them pile up or check how much they have without actually claiming them. You now need to click the ‘click to claim’ chest inside the tooltip.
-Options & Save – The Options button has been made much larger and the ‘Save’ feature has been moved inside of the options window.
-Music & Sound – Music and Sound now have sliders, those are available in the options windows. You may notice your sound/music options have been reset for this login and will save again once you save.
-Dragon Eggs – You can now click anywhere within a Dragon Egg buff area to add the point to the Dragon Egg buff (like the Liquid Gold and Fairy Runes) instead of just having to click the “Buff” button.
-Arcanist – Now hints at part of his mechanic being that you can hold onto your scrap and wait until his rewards are worth a bit more to turn them in.
-Wisps – You can now click anywhere within the wisp area to spend Wisps instead of just the “Use” button for convenience.
-Arcanist – You can now click in the ‘greater area’ around the Add Scrap button to add scrap to the arcanist.
-Potions – The area to click for potions is now also a bit larger making them easier to click.
-Caches – Are now slightly larger and therefore easier to see/click
-Time Shift – Window information updated to be more clear.
-Window Faction bars – All scaled up significantly
-Other – Many many many many more UI - Information - Etc tweaks, improvements, changes, and fixes.
UPDATE #14 v1.1
-Time Shifting – Time Shifting now only Shifts you to half of your MAX stages reached. For example if you reached a max stage of 800 and you time shift you will only go to stage 400 on your time shift ((Your mage level will also be 400)). Everything will reset as normal, but you will have skill points of the same Mage level’s worth (400 levels worth of skills points to spend in this example). You still have to spend everything like a normal time shift. This is mainly to speed up your climbing back up to your max path and MP/KP gains/farming.
-- This should still allow you to have your burst killing speed of time shifting without making the grind of getting back up to your max stage quite as much of a hassle. It also has an added benefit of making your Master of Time buffs useful regardless of your distance into the game.
-- Also note - After time shifting you’ll have 0 MP as you would normally but your rate of building it back up will be over a much shorter amount of stages. Your multiplier (The 3x 9x etc over you mp/kp on the main screen will act as it normally would, if you time shift and are above stage 250 you’ll remain at a 3x etc).
-Skulls – Skulls and their experience deficit have been removed.
-Offline Progression – Offline progression has now been added to the game. You can now advance STAGES while offline.
-- If you were offline long enough to progress stages you’ll see a message in the Offline Rewards window in orange. If you did not progress any stages you will not see the message.
-Idle Chest – An IDLE CHEST has been added to the game. You can find it in the bottom left hand corner under the Curse Eater window icon.
