šŸ§Ŗ The Beta Beat (v30) ā€“ Hero Balance Updates; Updated Alchemy Lab; Hero Academy; Updated Sand Empire Seasonal Event; Updated Path of Valor; New Season 3 Heroes; Jun/Jul/Aug/Sep HOTM ā€“ Sharing the Big Picture on What's Going on in Beta

I know, Iā€™m slacking. Had to catch up on a few things first.

Itā€™s 2am my time, so I think that thread is going to have to wait until tomorrow, unfortunately.

Please be respectful of us Beta testers. We are very active, work hard, and provide solid feedback to SG for improvements to the game & our community. And, we do ALL of this for free just because we care about the game AND those who play it. Keep in mind that there are many of us with many different opinions and while we may squabble, we all come together when the chips are down. Itā€™s my sincere opinion that SG does listen to us.

Respectful and thanksful, for all your work!

In name of many many many playersā€¦ Thank you all!

PS only a little PSā€¦ We all really want Dawa Minions for a future hero, can you say a good word to Devs? :slight_smile:

So what?, if someone has been playing so long that they have a lot of items then they deserve it, been around longer than other should have some advantages, would be unfair to them otherwise!

Agreed. There is an absolute benefit for putting in your time in this, or any game, and this shouldnā€™t be discouraged or constructed against when designing any game mechanics.

Beta Updates

Beta has reopened, with several updates:


There are also some small updates to Sand Empire, which Iā€™ll be documenting later today.

The improved version of Alchemy Lab was slated to enter Beta today, but ran into some technical issues, which are being resolved. Itā€™s expected to enter Beta ASAP once those are addressed. Thatā€™s currently planned for later today.

Off-topic, but doesnā€™t the X-mas event also contain the blue items (capes, telescopes)?

oops yes correct,ā€¦ but Iā€™m not sure where should be the placement in the new Seasonal version with 3 type (easy-normal and advantadge).
Well, maybe I guess: Normal: Cape and Scope. And Advantage: Hidden Blade and Rings. It just a guess,ā€¦ so why not. Thanks for mentioning thisā€¦ :+1:

EDIT:
Already updated the spreadsheet.

Once again valuable info provided. Thank you!!! The format is great, since itā€™s the same in all levels of Beta Beat posts I know how to drill down for detail info on the parts that interest me. And LOVE the addition (at least from my perspective) of keyword notifications

My last hope is they optimize alchemy labor a lotā€¦

The title says Alchemy Lab update, but I donā€™t see any links or info on it. Am I missing it, or is the title incorrect (or has the info just not been added yet, I guess is a third option).

I havenā€™t posted it yet. :wink:
