Artifacts leaderboard is up. Chaos coming soon.

artifactsThe strongest equipment in the game is now available to see. The last owner is shown though it may be bone pile loot in some cases. Note that bone pile loot will only give high level items corresponding to your underworld depth. For example if a level 100 player dies their loot is only available in bone piles on level 100 or deeper.

Gem bonuses for 2 handed equipment is also changed in this update. The cap is doubled so you can get +20 skill slots and +10 damage/defense slots. The cost is 20k gems to max out a slot so the gem scaling is smooth above 10k rather than exponential. The break chance and difficulty of slot additions is reduced by half for 2 handed equips as well.

Chaos NPCs are a new breed of evil that are roaming around the test server. These beings are more intelligent and have the ability to seek out good equipment, pick it up, and equip it for their own use in battle. They can also level up skills, and in many ways play the game as a human would.. getting stronger by the hour and testing weak points of high level bases. Be prepared for this threat to show up in the near future.. I will be adjusting their intelligence and thirst for blood as needed.

I cleaned up several places in the server code to reduce future item issues. There is of course a chance that those changes will cause some short term issues themselves but the cleanups are necessary as I prepare for some big changes.

If funding and free time allow it, I will be streamlining the server and client to prepare for an app store release in 2017.  Many changes may have to take place as I experiment with different mechanics, gameplay content, and graphics/sound makeovers. If you have an idea to improve the game please post in the forums and I will read it for sure (though sometimes it takes me a long time to get around to implementing it). Thanks for your support and testing 🙂
