TROS GAMEPLAY VIDEO! Expansion 91% Complete!!! (Patreon)

Greetings Maiden Nation! This is your Maiden Commander speaking!

First and foremost we want to THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU for being so patient with our progress allowing us to do the very best job that we can with the upcoming LoM "The Realm of Shadows" expansion. Because of your AMAZING support we have been able to accomplish so much and we know that the time spent on making the update amazing will pay off. You guys are FREAKING ROCKSTARS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! <3

With that being said we are so happy to reach this AMAZING MILESTONE!!!

Today, it is our pleasure to finally show off the first footage of content that will be coming in 'The Realm of Shadows' expansion. Specifically footage of the revamped Dual Pistol Skill, a new pistol skill called 'Kill Shot' and a demonstration showing the stat benefits that will come along with a new progression system called 'Enchanting'. The first enchantment coming in TROS will be Corruption allowing players to corrupt any piece of gear for stat boosts.

If you were not able to see our previous post that detailed how corruption will work please feel free to read the details below. If you've already read these details please feel free to check out the list of patch notes listed below to view the 131 updates, QOL improvements and bug fixes coming in the next expansion!!!

NEW GEAR PROGRESSION SYSTEM

We are extremely happy to announce the completion of the work on a new Enchantment System that will allow players to take any piece of existing gear (T1-T3) and enchant the gear with certain buffs which will apply to certain enemies. The first of the available enchantments is called "The Corruption". Players will be able to place their gear within a Shadow Forge located in the new TROS zone to Corrupt their gear from +1 to +15 across (3) different tiers (T1-T3) with gear dropping within the Realm of Shadows having a possibility of being corrupt from Tier 1 +1 up to +10 which makes for anywhere from 35 to 45 levels of progression for each gear piece. Gear corruption levels are separated into 3 tiers requiring players to need T3 gear with Corruption Tier 3 and Corruption Level +15 on all (6) gear pieces to get a maximum of 90% damage buff on all Shadow enemies within the Realm of Shadows. This along with a 10% damage boost from a newly added Dark Essence (more info to come) will provide a combined 100% damage bonus for all Shadow enemies and Stronghold Bosses located within the new expansion. Be sure to check out a preview image of the updated UI which features the corruption tier and level of gear below.

CORRUPTION VISUAL EFFECTS

We are adding a cool new feature which visualizes the corruption level on your character in four stages. As players increase their corruption levels across all gear pieces their character will begin to take on a more sinister look which will help make it immediately clear how corrupt a player has become. This visual effect is free for all players and it can be combined with existing aura effects. Lastly this visual effect can be toggled on and off should a player not wish to alter their characters appearance based on corruption levels within the settings/configuration panel. Be sure to check out a preview image of the progression of the corruption visual effects below.

As we wrap up work on TROS we will be speaking out more on the update and what will come along with it. We are currently working on an extended dev log where we will answer any questions players have concerning the expansion so please be sure to look out for any announcements when we will begin taking questions from the player base.

P.S. WE REALLY REALLY REALLY THANK YOU ALL for your amazing support and helping us to keep this project going with your subs! SERIOUSLY, your support means THE WORLD to us and we couldn't be more thankful for it. THANK YOU!!! <3<3<3<3<3

That's it for now! Have an amazing week everyone!
