Mythical Artifacts & Artifact Showcase - Coming Soon!

[Gryfek]

This is a bad idea. The difference between new players and veterans will be even higher, you won't be able to compete as a new player anymore

LOTS of questions throughout this thread, and I'll try to clear up a few misunderstandings that some others have shared.

1) As noted in this reveal, you will have TONS of opportunities to gather Legendary Tokens for free. These tokens will be earned simply through playing, and even bare minimum play will get you enough Tokens for at least one Mythical Artifact. There are other adjustments in the pipeline for both leading up to 12.20 release and after to help maintain a steady flow of Legendary Tokens.

2 & 3) That is not something we've planned.

4 & 5) As we lead up to the release of Mythical Artifacts we'll be revealing some of the Artifacts that you'll be able to collect at release.

6) Keep an eye out for the 12.20 Notes release; we're not quite ready to share what the Showcase looks like.

That being said, for the Artifact Showcase, you can choose a single benefit of EACH Legendary Artifact you own to take advantage of, without having to display it on a Legendary Pedestal. We're adding more benefit here if you've collected every Legendary Artifact and adding more options to mix stats together for even more optimization.

To further clarify, as noted, you will not be able to duplicate the benefits or use multiples of a Legendary in the Showcase. EX. if you have 3 copies of Huey Armament System, only ONE of them can be displayed in the showcase and you'll choose only one benefit from that display of the Huey Armament System. I hope this helps to understand the upcoming system better, as there has been a lot of speculation I've seen going way off the mark on what was written.

7 & 8) yes

9) We plan to add more Mythical Artifacts, but haven't yet settled on the full list at this time.

I really hope you are showing all these negative reactions to everyone involved!

Tons of opportunities to obtain tokens by simply playing, lemme guess 1-3 tokens per "opportunity" making it to where it would take YEARS forcing players to either: A- come to the conclusion this is a waste of time and quit or B- Come to the conclusion only credit card can get them those mythical artifacts and quit because that's 100% predatory and p2w.

You can keep saying "plenty of f2p opportunities to get tokens" but the current opportunities already take months to gather 300 and it doesn't take a genius to know that at the current rate it'll take years to get 1k. And the ammount of tokens is not even the biggest issue here either; it's just the tip of the absolutely-crappy-ideas-to-make-the-game-as-p2w-and-ubalanced-as-possible iceberg.

And sure, someone can come and tell me "wait untill they reveal how many tokens per day we can get now" but i'm pretty sure we all know how "generous" BHG is when it comes to the museum.

At present, it seems that BHG will be forced to launch the update of mythical relics. This way of making money is really ugly, and it completely kills the living space of players who do not spend money. Even from these two changes, we can see that BHG has completely ignored the opinions of players. To be honest, BHG is almost like a robber with the mythical relics this time.

 

[Yuutschi]

As a player who joined DomiNations in 2015 and has been with it for 10 years, BHG's bandit update is what we least want to see.

 

[King Crimson]

You players are missing the point. Now you can see the method in BHG's madness.
All you fighter players that were complaining that fighters were nerfed will no doubt be able to collect mythical boosts for fighters.
See - BHG knew all along what they were doing.

 

[ztt]

What the hell are you guys doing? The unit balance has not been completed yet. The last balance completely made the balance even more unbalanced. Now, let's further adjust the museum, which is causing the game values to expand and become unbalanced? Are you ready to cheat money and run away in this game? You are clearly strengthening defense, weakening the attacking side, forcing them to spend more money on props, harvesting players' money once and then releasing more powerful props to further harvest players. It is recommended that you review the differences between the game three years ago and the current game.

 

[dadidi]

Stronger defenses enable attacking players to buy powerful tactical troops and limited-time buildings. This is how you keep updating again and again, further squeezing players' wallets.

Greetings Leaders,

A brand new exhibit for your Museum is on the way in Mythical Artifacts; these are more powerful versions of Legendary Artifacts, but it doesn’t simply stop there. We plan to make exclusive displays for these Mythical Artifacts, include a way to implement a single buff from each of your entire collection of Legendary Artifacts, increase your storage capacity for Artifacts, and so much more! Let's look at the next major update coming in DomiNations Update 12.20.

---

Mythical Artifacts
Coming soon, you’ll find a new rarity of Artifacts; Mythical Artifacts will be more powerful versions of the current Legendary Artifact lineup, with an additional bonus stat. This means that Mythical Artifacts will have a total of six bonus stats, whereas Legendary Artifacts have only five! These benefits will feature updated stats from their Legendary counterparts, and you’ll still be able to level them up. Your Main and War Hall will each have three additional displays exclusive to Mythical Artifacts; you won’t have to pick and choose between Mythical or Legendary.

Collect Them All
We’re still in the works planning the Mythical Artifacts that will be first available at launch. Be sure to keep an eye out on our socials as we’ll be revealing the updated stats of some of the Mythical Artifacts that you can expect leading up to Update 12.20!

How to Obtain
Mythical Artifacts can be acquired either for Crowns or Legendary Tokens. Each Mythical Artifact will cost 1000 Legendary Tokens, but we’re not going to just leave you with the bill without a better way to obtain these Tokens!

Legendary Tokens Adjustments
With the introduction of Mythical Artifacts, we’ll increase the rate at which you can collect Legendary Tokens. You’ll still collect these primarily through the same spaces you currently do, Quest Events and Event Passes, Marco Video Rewards, and various Sales. But these will now include increased Legendary Token totals.

Further, as we lead up to the release of 12.20 and even beyond, we’ll offer free Legendary Tokens for you to collect in multiple ways! There will be enough opportunity to collect Legendary Tokens to guarantee a minimum of one Mythical Artifact at release.

• Pre-12.20 Legendary Token Opportunities (Starting today 6/9)
  • DomWorld Store
    • 8x Legendary Tokens Free Daily login
    • Weekly Special Legendary Token Sale for 10x Legendary Tokens
  • Legendary Token Supreme Passes
    • Available 6/12, 7/10, & 8/7
    • Each Stage Goals grant 3x Legendary Tokens (Total of up to 9x Free Legendary Tokens Per Event)
    • 20x Legendary Tokens on Free tier (Up to 60x Free Legendary Tokens per Event Pass)
    • 40x Legendary Tokens on Premium Tier (Up to 120x Legendary Tokens per Event Pass)
    • Group Leaderboard rewards Legendary Tokens. 1st Place 60x Legendary Tokens, 2nd Place 40x Legendary Tokens, 3rd Place 20x Legendary Tokens per group. You’ll only rise through these ranks by earning Victory Stars.
  • Some Premium Tier Passes will include MORE Legendary Token Rewards (This will replace some of the Legendary Artifact Chest rewards on some of the Premium Passes)
  • Supply Drops
    • A daily Supply Drop will appear from 6/9 to 9/7 on your base that guarantees Free Legendary Tokens. These Supply Drops have a chance to give you up to 20x Legendary Tokens!
  • Bonus Legendary Artifact Step-Up Sales
    • For Guaranteed Step-Ups: More Chests at the same Crown pricing, and fewer steps toward the guaranteed Legendary Artifact!
    • For assorted Legendary Artifact Chests: Double Legendary Token chances and more Chests at each step.
  • Marco Polo Video Reward
    • 2x Legendary Token reward from 6/9 to 7/27

NEW: Artifact Showcase
If you’ve been collecting all the Legendary Artifacts DomiNations has to offer and just can’t seem to choose three to display, the Artifact Showcase is here to help!

The Artifact Showcase will allow you to choose one Bonus from each of your collected Mythical and Legendary Artifacts. These Bonuses can be switched out as you deem necessary, by default when selecting the Legendary or Mythical Artifact to be displayed the first bonus line will be active.

Only one of each Artifact can be used, so no duplicate displays or bonuses. However, a Legendary and Mythical version of an artifact (ex. Legendary Huey Armament System, and Mythical Huey Armament System) can be displayed. If an Artifact is in an active Loadout, it will be displayed there and will not share a space or benefits in the Artifact Showcase. A showcase will be available for Primary Hall Artifacts and War Hall Artifacts separately.

War Hall Artifact Showcase will follow the same limits as the War Hall when it comes to World War rules. You can change out your bonuses during the Planning Phase of a War but your bonuses will be locked when the War day begins.

Increasing Artifact Storage
Don’t worry. Even if you’re close to full capacity in your Artifact Storage, we don’t want you to have to make hard decisions about what Artifacts you’ll be dismantling to make room for Mythicals. Once this update releases, we’ll be expanding your Artifact storage to a maximum of 1,000, which will also increase the base storage to 50.

That is not a good idea to bring these new features to the game, that is already too overloaded with other articles and pieces. It would be better if the developers direct their endless creativity into improving the quality of the existing features of the game and fixing problems.

 

[泉中水]

尽管我多年来一直喜欢/享受这个游戏，但如果这个烂摊子出来了，它就应该死。我肯定不会再玩了

Oh, my god, the same idea as me

 

[Awa]

It got be life has been so easy on BHG to make them come up with so many fancy stuff within these two updates. Players should stop spending money to teach them a lesson. Or just let them go bankrupt

 

[oddin]

1000 tokens each??!!! right....

I do not understand what you guys have in mind. Please let us know the whole plan. Too many changes coming and we know nothing. How are we gonna play if we do not know where to invest?

 

[Gnarvash]

Can 'Artifact showcase' be applied to all the artifacts the player has?
Is there a limit to the number of artifacts that 'Artifact showcase' can be applied to?

 

[Dhruv patel]

wow. this is terrible. the combat rebalance isnt even done and they release this.

it would be better off if they released 6 legendary artifact slots or if we got them we can upgrade them to mythical artifacts ourselves with those museum resources and crowns maybe

but they takeup the mythical slot not the normal legendary slot and we need to get regular legendary artifacts for those slots.

these 6th lines... sound like they are gonna be mundane. i missed the catagories like merc camp deploys spartans on death or castle spawns sword saints on death or summons raiders on offence like the chessman

 

[Pokusay]

After this update, the Top Defenders of this game will quickly buy up Mythic Artifacts, open the Showcase and make their museum stats 300/300/300. After that, if I don't bring my money to BHG to buy three Mythic Artifacts for my museum, then in order to kill the Air Defense, I will need to release 10 Bombers at once, but where to get them, that is the question.

 

[majikthise]

That being said, for the Artifact Showcase, you can choose a single benefit of EACH Legendary Artifact you own to take advantage of, without having to display it on a Legendary Pedestal. We're adding more benefit here if you've collected every Legendary Artifact and adding more options to mix stats together for even more optimization.

PLEASE reconsider this - the showcase has the potential to massively outweigh even the new mythical artifacts in terms of impact (which are already potentially game-breaking in terms of widening the gap between F2P and premium players).
Mythical artifacts = 6 lines each * 3 artifacts = 18 new lines from mythical artifacts.
There are around 50 legendary artefacts currently in the game, potentially giving up to 50 new lines in the showcase for players that have them all. This is equivalent to 10 entirely new artifacts per museum, essentially ~doubling the size of the museum.
Furthermore, players will be able to select the best lines from each legendary, making for incredibly potent combinations.

The biggest differentiator in the museum will now be whether you were lucky enough not to have sold any legendaries in the past.
This is massively unfair to players who previously sold legendary artifacts, which at the time had no plausible use (due to not being one of the top 3/4 artifacts) and therefore no downside to selling. To change the rules of the game so that these artefacts now are useful is a massive slap in the face to players who would have made different choices if we knew then what we know now.

@Harlems369th are we understanding correctly?

 

[majikthise]

One suggestion: limit the showcase to a maximum of 5 artifacts/lines.
This allows most players to realise some benefit from legendaries which are currently sitting in storage doing nothing, without allowing a small number of players to achieve ridiculously overpowered museums with 40+ extra lines in showcase.

@Harlems369th if the team are still going ahead with the showcase idea, please at least consider this limitation

 

[Seek]

Here is real idea. How about you fix this broken game before doing a big money grab.

We have been demanding replay fix ? Where is it? We have been demanding War Battle report? Where is it? We have demanded more combo to be effective in war ? Where is it?

So now you want more of hard earned money by watering down the artifacts we have already paid for or earn.

Tip if you want more money get the dam game fixed first. You will find player more willing to spend on a game that ACTUALLY HAS PROOF of who won a war battle. We have waited over 10 years for a fix on this. Yet BHG feels it has earned more money yet they never fix the stuff we actually asked. Well personally I say No you will not get more money till you fix what is broke.

BHG can’t provide product that justifies us spending more money until the fundamental flaws. Just new crap we never asked for or want is not the way squeeze more money out of this game. Provide your costumers a game that is worth spending on before just doing a money grab.

This update with Mythical Artifacts is unwanted and will destroy game. This pure greed and we the players see it so drop the act . If y’all have time to code a money grab fix your dam game first. Then a money grab might be called for. 10 years and replays and battle report are still broke and y’all want more of our money? That is joke

I appreciate your reply here Harlems and I acknowledge the difficult position the developers and game owners have put you in. This release and planned update is unacceptable. This is more or less a temporary museum (mythical) plus a stat inflation (showcases). This should not be released during a rebalance, let alone without much lead time. This was not mentioned in the Ama or the road ahead making this feel like a cash grab.

A smart developer would slow walk a release. For example one mythical slot and a limit on showcase legendaries (oh I don't know, maybe 3 to start?). Then you can add more after you see the aftermath. As it stands, the whales and long time players can add 50 legendaries and grab one line from each on the release of showcases. Other players are worse off. This is nothing but a cash grab for a game that's I now fear is in end of life. If this update stands as you announce, I will be another player who cuts ties. I beg you to take this feedback to your bosses and colleagues and rework what will be announced.

Whats worse here is that it hasn't even been tested by the players! Where are the ETBs?? I love this game but we have never had a release without bugs or unintended consequences.
