Welcome to V3.5.5!

Friday 21 June - 17:49:42 Blaaster

Hello all and welcome to V3.5.5!

Once again we've made a lot of changes to the game in order to keep things fresh.
Several features have had their balance changed and we've also added some new and returning features!

Auto crimer & NPC system
During the last 2 versions, we've made some pretty big changes to the NPC system and introduced the auto crime feature.
This version we've further optimized both these systems by reducing costs of gathering intel, showing more information, making the process of intel-shooting easier and more efficient and by adding primary loot drops.
We've also made several balance changes to the NPC system itself, and we've tuned the auto crimer in multiple ways in order for it to run more efficiently and have less downtime on criming.

More changes and updates will be made to both these systems in the future to optimize them even further.

Duels & Family alliances returning
During Armageddon last version we've begun public testing of the duels feature, based on the results we've decided to launch duels at the start of this version.
Several restrictions have been added to the duels system and we've also added more duel options to test, keep in mind that we still consider the duels feature as a test, while our test results all seem to be accurate and working as intended, we expect there might still be some issues, so make sure to report any problems!
The family alliance feature has also returned, this will allow for smaller families to be a bit more competitive during wars.
Several new restrictions have been added to the alliance system, make sure to check the changelog to get updated.

Mobile design
We've also replaced the old mobile design with the new mobile design.
There's still several updates coming to the mobile design to make it function even better and make playing the game much smoother on smaller devices.
Make sure to give us feedback on the design changes!

Free upgrades
During this version you'll receive a free gold profile and free regular stamina burner upgrade throughout the entire version.
Any existing upgrades have been extended by an extra 3 days due to the downtime to start the new version.

Welcome to V3.5!

Thursday 30 November - 19:35:38 Blaaster

Hello all and welcome to V3.5!

There have been a looooot of changes this version, so let's quickly jump into the updates!
We suggest to read this news post, or check the changelog to get updated, you can also join our Discord for more information.

Big changes
We've overhauled the crimes & crimes scouting system to be more 'casual' friendly and add a bit more depth to the game, while at the same time making it easier to understand and allowing you to quickly identify which crimes to play and where to find them.
All scouting reports are now global knowledge in the scouting database so you can always find the right crime for you.
We've also updated the crimes updater that changes the crimes overtime to be better balanced and less predictable to keep the game and the crimes more dynamic.

Other changes
We've also made changes to: GTA, NPC's, Family wars, Ranking and ranks, Stocks and trades, warzone cities and all sorts of bonus buffs and benefits.
To get updated on all these changes we recommend reading the changelog, however here's a quick summary for the most important things; Character class benefits are now doubled, daily element bonuses are also doubles and so are the bonus attributes on crimes, you also gain additional bonuses from criming inside a warzone city.
You now start with more unlocked crimes, GTA's, trades and stocks, we've also made it slightly easier to unlock new ones, however we've increased the difficulty of successfully committing them.

More players
We hope these changes will bring in more players, and we hope you will help us achieve this goal.
The game needs to grow in player count if it wants to survive, so make sure to invite your friends, enemies, anyone whom you might think would enjoy this game.
Make sure to also let them know they will receive a free gold profile upgrade and regular stamina burner for the entire version.

Design
We've also made some adjustments to the design inside the game, but most importantly, we've updated the design of the homepage.
This new homepage should function a lot better on all devices, there's also more information on display such as ingame news, changes and statistics.
This homepage is a work in progress, as we still want to make several changes and updates to make it even better.

All purchases will receive 10% bonus gems on top of existing bonuses.
