Hey, all. Hope everyone is doing well, staying safe, and staying healthy.

Tower 1 of Maws of Madness will release tomorrow, Monday, at 12 PM. It will be restricted to pets Level 59 and lower. It will not award direct XP, but No Trade XP Orbs instead. This will allow you to choose where to distribute the XP amongst your pets.

It was pretty difficult to calibrate these encounters given the restrictions coupled with the fact that it's intended for newer players - but I still wanted it to be both challenging and rewarding. This means that I most likely will make additional adjustments to the difficulty of the encounters as well as the rewards depending on how things go.

Thank you for being patient while this was being worked on and I do apologize for it taking so long.

At this point in time, I am unsure the fate of the other new feature I've teased a few times. I'm not going to write it off just yet, but I do need to start working on the Nytekrie Revamp so I am just not sure if I have enough available time atm. But we'll see.

Hope everyone has a great week and good luck in Maws!

oooo so excited

(I took a long break and didn't add everything I wanted, so I had to ask) Sorry if this was just my ignorance! Thank you for your time! :)

I don't believe they can add the last Agent, but Brews progress on their own every hour or so. So it will just auto complete on its own eventually.

Something I kinda wish with the brews/plants/etc for all fests is that they all auto-progressed but they stop at the last additive which only the owner could then add.

Thank you so much for all the hard work Krin, I am definitely excited for the other tower :D Very smart and kind of you to allow us to distribute the exp gained with non tradeable exp orbs, thanks!

And don't stress too much, there's a lot on your plate with the Nyte revamp so it's understandable if everything doesn't just come out right away ^^

They are supposed to stop at the last agent but I've had some brews that abide by this rule and some that don't. I've had a couple of brews that finished before I got to add everything I wanted but others have stopped like they're supposed to.

Oof my pets are only level 38

I actually did try the Maws of Madness three times. It was too extreme in my opinion. First time I didn't even pass the first level. The second time and third time I did get to the second level, but couldn't pass it at all. My pets use, are level 62. I should have been able to do way better than I had, and I didn't. If it's intended for the newer players, that's great, but if I couldn't pass even level 2 with level 62 pets...how is any of the newer players going to be able to even pass level 1?
I love a challenge, yes, and will continue to try and try to pass a level...as I do on any other game. But wow! Newer players just might get discouraged and not bother with it. Not everyone is like me and continue until I pass something.
So if it is now restricted to level 59 and lower, I'll have to try again, of course.

The 60-70 Tower was/is intended for end-game. Obviously, the earlier stages can be done without having maxed out Level 70 pets, but it isn't intended to be beaten without having a very strong battling party.

The 30-59 Tower is meant to be more new-player friendly, however, I ended up putting a cap of Level 59 for participating pets. Most of the rewards are actually the same as the 60-70 Tower with a few exceptions. So in regards to that, I am just going to see how it goes this week and see if any adjustments are needed. With the difficulty aimed for Level 30-59 parties, it would obviously be exceptionally trivial to any high level battle parties. Since currently the rewards are near identical to the 60-70 Tower (for XP, AP, Expertise, Gold, and Festival Items), that creates an issue for me that I could only solve by putting a level restriction on the lower Tower.

But, like I said, I will see how it goes and look for adjustments based on how players are doing and whatnot.

Don't get me wrong everything you have come up with to add to this game is amazing. I may leave the game for a hiatus for personal reasons, but I always return. When I return, I've found something new you have added. That's the thing I like about this game. You are always coming up with something new to add to the game to keep it interesting.
I wish I could do something like that. I have an imagination, yes, but I could never do what you do. The trick or treating thing I absolutely love. I don't think I've been around for any Christmas stuff...due to personal reasons. I'm looking forward to that this year. If the Halloween/Fall event is this fun, then Christmas has got to be amazing too. Keep up the amazing work.
