Scenarios and Daily Quest adjustments: Dev's Diary about upcoming changes
Dear Settlers!
With the upcoming new game version the new "Scenario" adventures are going to be available.
Besides, all Daily Quest rewards have been adjusted. The new version will be deployed on
March 10th, 2015.
The Easter Event 2015 will be part of that release.
Its activation will take place directly after the maintenance, on March 17th, 2015.
A separate Dev's Diary and website news will provide details about the Event and it's activation.
Let's have a closer look on Scenarios and the Daily Quest changes.
As a first step, four "Scenario" adventures will be added to the game.
They will tell a short story and ask to solve a problem by applying buffs to objects on the adventure map.
Scenarios can only be found by chance through Adventure searches.
The Scenario Buffs can be produced in both the Rarity and regular Provision House.
A special tab is accessible while the adventure is running (more details below).
A dead forest has to be revived in the Scenario "Heart Of The Wood"
These are the first four Scenarios available:
Name: The Grain Conflict
Difficulty: Easy
Description: Two quarreling towns need a mediator to lead the negotiations for a peaceful cooperation.
Both towns are in need of the wheat being produced in the middle of the island.
Name: Twins
Difficulty: Easy
Description: Two children, twins, went missing in a town nearby. The villagers ask you for help to find them:
the town is near a very dangerous swamp and finding the two kids is important.
Name: Heart Of The Wood
Difficulty: Medium
Description: The rangers of a nearby town are calling for aid. A strange sickness has fallen upon the trees near their settlement. The rangers have done all they could. Can you help cleanse the trees?
Name: Riches Of The Mountain
Difficulty: Hard
Description: A friendly foreman got the task to prove the riches of the mountain and to establish a mining outpost. Help him with his task and he will share his profits with you.
How to play a Scenario?
Each Scenario adventure is connected to certain challenges that need to be solved before the time runs out.
To provide a better introduction to this new game element,
let’s focus on a Scenario called Twins. A step-by-step guide is available below.
- After the Twins adventure was found by an adventure search, open the Star Menu and locate it there.
Left-clicking on the adventure icon will bring the confirmation window up.
- As usually, this will trigger a special interface that will show up on the right
(in case you cannot see it, check your Quest Book):
- When the adventure map was loaded, check the Quest Book to see the current task(s):
- The first task will ask you to collect Bridge base materials that can be found on the adventure map.
After collecting all of them, return to your home island by using the “Return home” button
which is available next to your friend list:
- Now, open the interface of your (Rarity) Provision house (tip: press “P” on your keyboard to use a hotkey)
and switch to the tab related to the running Scenario.
While a Scenario is running, a special tab is available in the Provision house.
The tab will disappear after completing/cancelling the corresponding adventure.
- After all required objects were produced, go back to the adventure map (see: point 2)
and activate 3 Auxiliary Bridges (from the Star Menu) on highlighted spots:
- Completing this task will start the second one. Go back to your home island,
produce needed items and re-visit the adventure map.
As a next step, activate acquired items on highlighted residences to complete the sub-quest:
- The next Scenario task is related to Used Hammers items – it’s needed to collect them from the adventure map
and convert (Provision house) to a Rescue Party buff. After bringing the mentioned buff back to the adventure,
just activate it on the Suspicious Ruin object:
Almost all Daily Quest rewards were adjusted. Some quests won't be available any more.
A complete list of all Quests would go beyond the scope of this Dev's Diary.
A complete list is available below.
It shows all Daily Quests, their old and their new rewards.
Scenarios and the Daily Quest changes are going to be available after the update on March 10th, 2015.
Please leave your feedback in this thread.
Happy Settling!
