TGIF! What happened this past week in Dev and Community? Player Bans April 19 - April 25 As a reminder, the following numbers are permanently frozen accounts, and don't count temporary freezes. FB: 34 The majority of permanently frozen accounts are frozen for being a shared or alternate account. This is something we actively investigate, and we appreciate players reporting suspicious accounts to us. If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please direct them through Support as the Forums are not the place to discuss account freezes, because of the sensitive account information involved. New Limited Items! A new week means new Limited Items! Here’s what’s up for grabs: Server Upgrades Please be aware that starting next Monday with Pirate Clan, we will be upgrading our existing servers. Actual impact to the game will be minimal but some of the data stored on the server will be lost in the transition. This includes: - game history feed - alerts will reset - players counters will reset (gifts you can send, etc) May Monthly Calendar! The May monthly Calendar started yesterday at 10:00 am PDT and runs until May 31. Support Report with your favorite burrowing nocturnal mammal and Answerpreneur, Aardvark! Happy Friday, players! Sorry for my recent absences from our weekly TGIF shenanigans, Support has been a bit bananas lately. Which brings me to today's fun fact! If there is every anything unusual about your game, if something of yours seems to be missing, or not working the way it should, or you see a notification you are concerned about, please talk to us. There might be a bug or glitch, or myself or someone around the office might have made a mistake that has affected the game. This things happen and when they do we want to know about them so we can fix them and make sure our players are looked after. Something I can absolutely guarantee has NOT happened is a deliberate, malicious act of sabotage from a Kano/Apps team member. Aside from the fact that there is literally nothing to be gained from such an act, we are a small team who work hard to make our games as successful as we can, and none of us wants to jinx that. There is also the small matter that I work my ass off all week trying to fix problems and help people out when they have questions or concerns. Sometimes people are pretty... passionate, and it can be very challenging for us to talk to them. If I thought for one second someone here in the office was messing around with players' games to be a jerk, I would hunt them down and beat them within an inch of their life. Then I would flip my desk, light the building on fire, and run out into the street screaming. Cheers!

Can you PLEASE give us a time frame for WHEN we will get some New Blacksmith Recipes??? Not only do we DESPERATELY NEED Recipes for the Boss Drops from the Ratatoskr, Odin's Ravens, & Shadow Valkyrie to make into Elite & Legendary, we DESPERATELY NEED Recipes for the Boss REWARDS from the Skadi's Blizzard, Heimdallr, Thrym, Jormungandr, Helreginn Returns, Ratatoskr, Odin's Ravens, & Shadow Valkyrie! The way things are going by the time we get them we won't be able to use them!!!
As I said last week I unfortunately can't give a time frame until the developers nail something down, however I did ask them about it and they said they'd try and get something out for higher-level crafting sooner rather than later. I'll keep on it until I get a response.
While I don't like to disagree with some of the crafting suggestions, some of the end drops have never been craftable in the game. Sometimes, it is what it is and not useful when you finally get to when "your" version of that boss opens up (seen that complaint before). And while I am short on level rewards, if one thinks of things to be done personally, I would rather Kano skip this and all crafting at the moment, to make the game work better on the battlefield. Of late, there has been this pesky thing where you cannot hit or slap certain people while they are healing or attacking someone else. That seems to be a larger issue that needs work.
In my opinion killing those bosses and hoping that Kano one day will release some elites and legendarys its a big waste of stamina and time. Those bosses already give some very low Xp when I attack them and the drops are totally useless. And as they lvls grows the XP drops even lower. I prefer to kill lower bosses for a lot better XP and lvl faster and with the energy from lvlup I can make better weapons and warriors from adventure drops then the current lengendarys. Ex: With one refill attacking the Helreginn Returns boos: I make half a lvl and around 200 drops (1 drop for 33 stamina). making them elites I get like 10 Elites or 3 Legendarys: Legendary Paladin Sage 103 Attack 103 Defense If I kill lower bosses, with 1 refill I make like 3 lvls, I get 15 skill points and with 1500 energy I can make 3-4 Arbalists with 110 Attack 103 Defense in Valhalla. I am sure that I am not waiting for elite and legendary recipes and I avoid big time entering any bosses other then the top 3 for drops.
