  • Merry Christmas!
    • According to Earth's Gregorian calendar, Christmas will soon be upon us - a time for humans to revel, Rylattu to rub their hands with glee at the thought of all the junk they can sell, and Snuuth to dream of plump turkeys.

Patch Notes: November 9, 2011

Features

  • Happy Anniversary!
    • Legacy of a Thousand Suns is now a year old. And whilst we're far too gluttonous to share our birthday cake with you people, that doesn't mean we haven't arranged other festivities in which you can take part (but seriously, don't touch the cake...).
    • Dragon Cycle Treasure Hunt:
      • For a year we've had players asking us to give them the motorbike from the game's loading screen. Well, in conjunction with our old friend the Riddle Master we've decided to do just that. Except that you may have to work for it. That's right - it's time for another treasure hunt!
      • If you head to the Lab page, you'll see the recipe which crafts the Dragon Cycle. But if you want to obtain the six ingredients, you'll first have to break the codes and solve the riddles.
    • Anniversary Bosses:
      • Four new Alliance Raid bosses are now in the game.
      • Three are based on the people and companies which have brought you LoTS.
      • The fourth represents the four winners of our 'Who Wants to Be a Boss?' contest.
      • As usual, shiny new loot items may be beaten out of the aforementioned bosses.
      • Ingredients may also be wrested from their cold, dead hands - and used to craft fancy new armor in the Lab.
    • Grab Bags:
      • Four grab bags are available in the Shop, and may be purchased during the anniversary period.
      • The Vending Machine contains Consumables. However, please note that its shoddy construction means that you'll receive a random Consumable each time - rather than the one you selected via the controls on the front of the machine. And don't try shaking it until the thing you wanted falls out, because it has automated defense systems.
      • The Anniversary Bag contains a range of brand new anniversary items.
      • The Commemorative Coin Slot Machine will give you a random Commemorative Coin each time.
      • These coins may be used on the Lab page to obtain Felendis. Some of you may be familiar with this particular individual, and his strange propensities.
      • Please note that Commemorative Coins may also be obtained when people complete your Mission Help requests during the anniversary period, and via Daily Rewards.
    • The Sian Hero Footlocker will give you a random Sian Hero item each time (including the Sian Dragon Gun and Thunder Jian).
      • Their stats have been improved in honor of the occasion. Those of you who already have one or more of these items will notice that the ones in your inventory have become more powerful in accordance with these new stat values.
    • Orphan of Heaven:
      • Every player who's logged into the game since October 1 has been given the Orphan of Heaven.
      • To access it, simply select 'Sidekick' in your inventory's drop-down menu.
    • For one week only, Golden Suns are being sold at a special discount.
  • PvP Health:
    • A special PvP Health Bar has been added to the game.
    • If you sustain damage during PvP, either as the attacker or the defender, that will be deducted from this bar rather than your regular Health Bar.
    • This means that players will no longer find themselves unexpectedly short on Health whilst battling Mission or Raid bosses.
    • The PvP Health Bar matches your regular one in length, and will be refilled by any means through which your regular Health Bar is refilled.
  • The Halloween items have been reclaimed by the darkness, and are no longer available for purchase. If you missed anything, you'll need a Tardis or DeLorean to obtain it.


Bug Fixes

  • The Psycho Sextet Ship now displays the correct number of Officers and Crew.
  • The Werewolf's Pelt no longer incorrectly appears in two separate spots within the Mystery Expedition pack.
  • Dark Green Candy now displays and applies the correct amount of Energy.

  • If you're new to Expeditions, please note how the system works:
    • With the New Item Pack, you will never receive a duplicate item unless you already own every item in the pack.
    • However, with the Relic and Mystery packs duplicates are possible at any time (well, assuming you have at least one non-unique item from the pack in question).

    • Players who wish to opt out of the Leader Boards, because they don't want their details to be disclosed, are free to do so via the button provided.
  • But please note: If you opt out, this decision will be permanent. You won't be able to take part in the Leader Boards again.

    • Fresh loot items await your avaricious grasp.
    • New recipes have been added to the Lab page.

    • The Pot of Gold Finder can be purchased in the Shop. These consumables each contain valuable prizes.
    • The drop rates of all legendary item ingredients have been improved, making it easier to get your hands on the most sought after treasures. We've also increased the likelihood of obtaining

    • These features will remain in the game until next week's build, so make use of them while you can!
    • Additional Facility upgrade levels can be purchased, and new items have been added to their loot tables.

  • Certain combinations of Holostockings from the Christmas presents can be traded in for prizes in the Lab.

  • And if that's not enough of a demonstration of holiday spirit, for that two week period we're also giving bonus Golden Suns with each purchase!


Bragging:
