Changelog

New features

• New Solo quest
  
  With this update from the game to the newest release, you´ll be able to play the next Solo quest in your diary on the new Island of Thalassos – discover new areas from the island and solve tricky tasks. We wish you a lot of fun with that.

Improvements of features

• Bonus-times symbol & Bonus-ranking
  
  For a better overview and to see more quickly which bonus haven´t been fulfilled, we made some changes to the display: From the four bonus-times you can see the current and a not-fulfilled bonus is blinking. The other three bonus-buttons stay active in the future, so that you can reach the bonus-ranking by a click on the buttons.
  
  
• Furniture editor
  
  Within the editor we made some improvements for a better handling and overview. We re-worked the ownership-display which shows you now if you already own an object or not. We have also worked on the z-index, where you´re able to save a value with the return-/enter-key now and not only with the green tick, to be faster and to get more comfort by decorating your house.
  
  By popular demand you get also the option to set-off the blinking from the objects, so you can choose to use it or not.
  
  
• Payment shop
  
  At the overview from your Payment shop you get again a display in which you can see your last ten purchases. There you´re able to see the costs, kind of feature which you have bought and the time as well as the date. Within that shop we optimized also some tooltips and textures and made little changes in the optic, to give you a better overall picture.
  
  
• Medal "Glorious hero"
  
  For that medal the new Greeks count too now. On to the fight!
  
  
• Chat rooms – Tooltips
  
  Some elements in the chat were without a tooltip. These will be fixed with the update.
  
  
• "Log out"–button on the Greek island
  
  Currently your avatar couldn´t move home immediately if you use the option "Go home first". For the new island we found the following solution: If you chose that option now, you avatar will move to Thassilo. There you have to talk with the NPC and you need to chose again.
  
  
• Minimap for NPC buildings
  
  The NPC buildings show with the update a minimap now, where you have an overview of the rooms.

Bugfixes

• Guild wars & Attack-times
  
  You could select the time for an attack on Monday at 12:00am, which was impossible because in that case it was counted as for the week before. Now you get an error message if you try to attack on that time.
  
  
• Fights – Use of the potions
  
  If you chose a potion within a round of a fight it wouldn't be displayed grayed-out. For a better display, we made the graphic half-transparent during the current move.
  
  
• Starting Isle – Minigame against the bank
  
  During the first minigame at the little isle when you start the game, you could sometimes get a screen saying that the bank had to start the game. But the playing area was still empty, so the player was waiting for further actions and nothing would happen. Now we changed something, so that a new player can see immediately who starts with the game.
  
  
• Minimap – House „Juno“
  
  There was a green line on the minimap of that house. This has been fixed.
  
  
• Collection „Royal“
  
  The layer from the light green double-bed was a little bit too deep. This has also been fixed.
  
  
• Brightsmith
  
  There we have fixed an exploit, which affected the upgrading of an object. Now all get the same skills as a result, no matter if they upgrade it step by step or at once.

Additional

• Text adaptation
  
  We made several text improvements and corrections in the game.
  
  
• Minimap - Changing rooms
  
  After the update it won´t switch automatically to the minimap if you change a room in a house.

Kind regards,
