Explorers of Kalguur Rework - Parody UPDATE 5/11/24
|
EDIT: Patchnotes at bottom 5/11/24
With the success of settlers of kalguur, we're proud to present our new EoK (Expedition) rework! We've heard you loud and clear, even when we gave the huge ass bomb option, it sometimes put players in positions where bombing the place might end up causing mobs to have mods that render the player unable to clear the encounter. We also heard the positive feedback on making harvest take less time. hence we're changed the extra content so that when encountered in maps, the encounter is replaced with 1 huge detonation site, the player can instead choose 1 of 3 preset lists of modifiers to detonate. player choice is important, so is player time. hence we've simplified the process down this much. Rewards have now been changed to GOLD. no more kalguuran currency. everything now just costs gold. expedition logbooks still drop normally and can be crafted as normal. Completing a detonation site now grants 1 reroll currency for each "master". you also lose the ability to haggle and all gold costs for purchasing anything are displayed properly. Reroll currency can also be bought for gold. Expedition log books now cost a fixed amount of gold to run. Before running an expedition players can choose the location of the expedition as normal, but unlike previous, you now have to WAIT for your boat to arrive at your desired location IN REAL TIME. because we love immersion. in the meantime you can talk to our various NPC and enjoy our mini "sims inspired" minigame which can be used to occupy your time while on the boat. you can learn each npc's interests and even "woohoo" them if your approval is high enough. there are also random encounters where your boat is attacked by pirates. similar to settlers of kalguur, you are given the option to pay them off with real gold, OR fight them. if you choose to fight, similar to settlers of kalguur, you only have one chance and since you're now part of the crew, if you lose, your character is voided permanently along with all your equipped gear/jewels and inventory. the same is true if you randomly disconnect during the batttle. if you are not online while encountering the pirate, your progress will stop in the middle of the ocean and will only continue once you've resolved the encounter. upon reaching the expedition site, players are introduced to a map where they can easily select reward chests to travel to rather than meticulously pick where to place explosives. saving players a lot of choice paralysis and backtracking. once they've completed the expedition, players can choose to return back to their hideout which also incurs travel time similar to the departure. also, now expedition bosses now have a chance to drop a special fragment allowing players to fight UBER expedition bosses. similar to logbooks, they require an upfront gold fee and realtime "time to travel". players also now gain the ability to vendor their drops to exchange for gold. we hope you enjoy our new "Explorers of Kalguur" league! PATCH NOTES Explorers of Kalguur Rework 1.01
Spoiler
- Whenever "travelling to destinations" Players have a 1% chance to leave the game and start a new life. This will void all player data tied to the entire Path of Exile game. We are also adding this button as a new option when the player dies, so you will get to choose between "Returning to Town", "Resurrecting at nearest waypoint" or "Leave the game and start a new life". this option will be put right in the middle of all 3 options by default and cannot be changed. Also as a push to increase player interactivity, all areas that are "outside" of arenas are now shared. now players can chill and enjoy looking at each others mtx while others are busy fighting pinnacles. a new spectator mode has been added where players can use consumable mtx such as fireworks to cheer the player(s) on. if you are lagging, then instead of buying our mtx consider this as a nudge for you to upgrade your PC! We have also received feedback that some players have played over a decade and never dropped mirrors or magebloods and that "they might as well not exist". We hear you loud and clear! in this latest expansion, mirrors and mageblood are NO LONGER OBTAINABLE VIA DROPS by regular players. they will only be obtainable by TOP STREAMERS (determined by us). We will also be introducing social media throwaway accounts that will randomly post images of them dropping these rare items that regular players cannot obtain to maintain the FOMO so you will keep playing despite knowing, its likely never going to happen to you. these bots will also be selling magebloods and mirrors on trade at a calculated rate based on historical prices to simulate actual players. on top of that, to simulate proper trade interaction, some bots are programmed to have variable response times and sometimes do not respond at all! some bots would also be programmed to try and "switch the item last minute" in trade so pay attention! We have also received feedback that players dislike the challenge that requires players to spend 6 different valuable currency. we've now changed it so that instead of 6 different valuable currency, it is now condensed to 1 single currency alone which is a mirror of kalandra. this way players dont need to hunt 6 different valuable currencies to complete the challenge. With the introduction of Ruthless mode as well as the punishing guantlets, we have found that players are VERY capable and want more difficult gameplay in order for them to feel that their in game decisions actually mean something, thus we are also introducing a new game mode. "HARDCORE IRL". this mode requires players to purchase our new NERVEXILE Gear and requires the player to be hooked up to this device in order to play. in this mode if you die in game you die in real life! now that's player agency!
