Update

Patch Notes v0.44.69

The Well of Fate: a hardcore dungeon with a shared purse and cards that give and take. And the game stays connected when you switch tabs.

A new kind of dungeon: the Well of Fate. If you fall inside, you stay down until the run ends. Everything you find goes into one purse for the whole party, and every room you clear makes the party pick a card. Also in this update: the game stays connected when you switch tabs, less lag in crowded places, and a round of fixes on phones.


Well of Fate

New A dungeon where you do not respawn

The Well of Fate is a hardcore dungeon. You enter it like any other dungeon, but if you die inside, you do not respawn. You watch until the run ends. Go in alone or with your party.

You enter from the dungeon keeper in Ashen Realm. It uses one of your daily dungeon entries.

The purse

Gold and items you find inside do not go to your bag. They go into the party's purse, the bar above your EXP bar. The purse is split only at a safe exit or when the last boss goes down. Everyone gets an equal share, by mail.

Safe exits

In rooms 5, 10 and 15 the party votes: leave or go on. Leave, and you take what is in the purse. Go on, and you have to live until the next safe exit or the last boss. If the whole party dies, the purse is gone.

Cards

After every room you clear, two cards come up and the party votes. The card with the most votes is taken. Everyone has to vote, and the dungeon timer stops while the vote is open. Every card gives something and takes something. The cards you took stack up above the EXP bar; hover one to see what it does.

Harder every room

Every room, monsters get 25% more health and damage. By room 5 they are twice as strong, by room 10 more than three times. Good play alone is not enough; the cards you pick matter as much.

Debt

Some cards take gold out of the purse, and the purse can go below zero. Some runs you walk out rich, some runs you walk out owing. If you exit in the red, a debt window opens. Pay it before the time runs out, and the purse is split and your items come by mail. If you do not pay, what you paid comes back to you, but the items are gone.

When the purse is below zero, a card that changes the purse changes the debt the same way. "The purse doubles" doubles the debt.

Dungeons

  • Fix Meteorites in dungeons and in the Well of Fate broke after a few hits. They now take as many hits as they should.

Connection

  • Fix Switching tabs or putting the game in the background dropped the connection, mostly with auto-hunt on. Now you come back where you left off.
  • New If the connection does drop, the game reconnects by itself. You do not need to refresh the page.

Performance

  • Change Less lag in crowded places like the village and busy hunting grounds.

Settings

  • New Two new switches in the Game tab: hit flash and damage numbers. Both are on; you can turn them off.
  • Change Language is now in the Interface tab.

On the phone

  • Fix A list stopped scrolling when your finger slid off it. It keeps scrolling now, the anvil's material list too.
  • Fix Some windows had no title: purse, debt, keeper, world map, teleporter, settings. They do now.
  • Fix You can add an item to the salvage machine while it runs. Tap an empty slot.

Other fixes

  • Fix A closed chat box blocked clicks behind it. Teleport to leader in the party list works again.
  • Fix Trading Post, sell form: filling in the other fields no longer wipes the price you typed.
  • Fix In right-to-left languages like Arabic, popups no longer go off the screen.
