Ember Strike Patch Notes — August 4, 2016
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
New stuff!
The current striker on both sides will now have a fancy new pedestal to clearly show you who's strike is charging. This is the first version of it. We have some more visual work to do.
Changes
Gifting - Alirghty, so gifting is very very popular, and that's awesome! However, it was intended as a way to create player to player connections as well as reward players for helping build the size of the community. It turns out that most people are just doing trades of 3 gifts for 3 gifts, and then that's that. We've made some decently sized changes to the system.
Sending gifts to new players gives 100 embers to them and to you. If you recruit a new player, you will now instantly receive 100 embers on your next login. Recruiter ember rewards have no waiting period, so you can claim them without waiting a day
Note: To be classified as a new player, that player cannot have ever turned in a gift before.
Sending multiple gifts to the same player - If you have more than one gift from the same player, one will be used, and the rest are removed from your inventory.
Don't worry, you still get embers for trading gifts with current players just as before. You just need to do it with each person once a day. If you send a gift to an existing player, you'll get a standard ember award when they turn it in. However, standard ember awards can only be used once a day just like now and if you've claimed no other ember awards of any type on the same day.
Also, now, we will reissue new gifts after an hour rather than a day.
With these new changes, you have the capicity to earn a lot of embers very quickly if you are so inclined. Please be responsible in recruiting, and don't spam.
Thanks!
Team Reentry
