Hey everyone, lemmingllama here. After the 7.0 update, we are going to be preparing a smaller update to help improve some quality of life improvements related to the 7.0 update, as well as a new form of cosmetic that we can slowly scale out in the future. Let’s get into what will come with the 7.1 update!
First off, we are making improvements to help make it clearer what resources players have from titan souls and systems like Transcendence. We will be reworking the player profile, stats panel, player export, and the player API to help make these values more generally available to players.
The player profile will have their Necrobear Level and the number of Transcendent Pets added.
The stats panel will have the Necrobear level, Total Titan level, and Lifetime Souls Collected added.
The Player API will now have Transcendent Pets, Titan Collection, Necrobear level, and Forbidden Research raid bonuses added.
The player export will now have mementos, monuments, Transcendent Pets, Titan Collection, Necrobear Level, and Forbidden Research raid bonuses added. Additionally, we are doing reworks to the player export to shrink the number of characters that are contained within it to help ensure that the player export can be contained within device clipboards and can be cleanly copied to spreadsheets and other applications. We will post an example of a new export prior to the update releasing on our Discord server for people who want to adapt to the new format, but this will be a breaking change for many spreadsheets until they adapt to the new formatting. On average, this reformatting will lower the character size of a player export by around half, even with the additional information being added in this update.
Next up is the new cosmetic system being added to the game: Player Titles. Player titles will be a special cosmetic text displayed under a player’s username on leaderboards, tournaments, their profile, and within the clan. Titles will have a specific title for achieving something difficult, and also a special color as well.
Currently we will be releasing with titles for achieving high ranks in Transcendence, Master Tier raiding, and support for custom developed titles handed out by GameHive. This will give us flexibility to give special titles in the future through things like community contests. The title system will be expanded further in future updates, and we will be able to place these cosmetics in more places such as in the Abyssal Tournament shop then.
Player Titles are currently intended to be cosmetic only, so while you can use them to show off your great achievements, we will not be adding any bonuses to increase your power to the titles.
Lastly, we will be making some changes for the Practice mode of raiding just to help make it more customizable to better match your current raids.
The morale caps for raids in Practice mode would sometimes not allow for morale to reach the levels achievable when your clan was using Team Tactics and had started a raid with full morale. We are raising these caps to help ensure that players will always be able to match what their clan’s Team Tactics usage could give.
We are adding a new slider into the Practice panel to help set Mirror Force usages in previous cycles. If Mirror Force is selected as a card in your deck, you will be able to set between 0-35 uses in the previous cycle to help ensure that you’re dealing the correct damage with Mirror Force when practising.
Thank you for reading! We will continue to go over changes coming in the 7.1 update next week, including some reworks to raiding and new equipment.
As a reminder, you can view our web store for some free diamonds, dust, raid cards, and good deals on various bundles.
Happy Tapping!
