Release 1.12 brings some big updates to our event system, and some new tools to help players maximize their event experience:
Additions
Faction Packs
- Players now have the chance to acquire Faction Packs while events are active.
- These packs include a near-guaranteed (97%) chance to acquire Phobies from the Faction featured in the active event. This provides players with new ways to acquire and upgrade Phobies cards that benefit their event progress.
- The two pack types are:
- Faction Scream Pack - This pack has similar reward odds to the existing Horrific Pack, and features 3 scratch cards and 135-345 upgrade cards dependent on whether a new Phobie is awarded.
- Faction Dominion Pack - This pack has similar reward odds to the existing Dreadful Pack, and features 4 scratch cards and 279-783 upgrade cards dependent on whether a new Phobie is awarded.
- Our first event using the updated system, Monster Mash, will give players an opportunity to acquire Monster Scream Packs and Monster Dominion Packs. Future events will focus on Dimensionals, Mechanicals, and Undead.
Updated Event Calendar
- Events will now occur on a four-week cycle.
- The updated schedule begins on Feb. 3rd with our Monster Mash event.
- Reward tuning has been updated to give greater rewards to players over this longer active event period.
Milestone Skipping
- Players can now use Coffee to “purchase” an event milestone and skip ahead to the next milestone in the list.
- The is a useful option for players who feel they may be falling behind the pack in terms of event progress, or for players who’ve joined in on the event late.
- Coffee costs will scale according to how far into the event the milestone occurs.
Ultimate VIP Pass
- Players now have the option to purchase an enhanced VIP pass.
- This Ultimate VIP Pass includes all the benefits of the Event VIP Pass, plus a bonus Faction Scream Pack for the featured event faction. Players will also earn double event points for all event tasks once the Ultimate VIP Pass is activated.
- Players who have already acquired a standard Event VIP Pass can upgrade to the Ultimate VIP Pass for a discounted cost at any time during the active event.
