Welcome Hero or Heroine!

This outlook is intended to provide insight into our planned features and initiatives. However, please note that the timeline and details of these features are subject to change. Unforeseen circumstances, such as shifting priorities, technical challenges, or external factors (e.g. community feedback), may result in features being adjusted, delayed, or reprioritized.

August

Fusion 27

With the launch of Fusion 27, we are excited to announce the merging of the final international game worlds W57, W58, W59, and W60 on August 1, 2025.

This merging of game worlds is designed to foster a more vibrant community, leading to increased activity and creating greater challenges and heightened competition for all players of these game worlds. We understand that change can bring mixed feelings, but we truly believe this will enhance the gaming experience for everyone involved.

Update

The release of update 27.000 is scheduled for August 12, 2025.

This update is set to bring important changes, particularly with the revamped Toilet of the Arcane Gods, a project that has been shaped through valuable input from the community during several closed beta tests.

Item Quality

The toilet's Aura will have a direct impact on item quality, serving as a meaningful indicator of how close a found item is to the maximum potential quality for the player. This can be a crucial factor in deciding whether an item is worth equipping. The general rule is simple: the higher the item quality, the better the item’s attributes.

Sacrificing and Washed Items

Moreover, the sacrificing mechanism has been thoughtfully improved. Sacrificed items reward mana for leveling up the toilet. While it's important to note that sacrificed items will be destroyed, players will receive invested upgrade resources as a refund upon destruction, ensuring that nothing gets lost. The new system will also allow items without selling value to be sacrificed, and a spillover feature will guarantee that no mana is wasted once a new toilet level is achieved.

Additionally, a new function called washing will be introduced, enabling players to generate items for their companions. It's worth mentioning that once an item has been washed, it cannot be washed again. If the washed item had upgrades, the new item will inherit upgrades equivalent to the resources previously invested, providing a sense of continuity and value.

A notable enhancement: When washing an item, the selling price will now be preserved. This was not the case when sacrificing an item in the original version of the Arcane Toilet. The graphic above illustrates the same item: on the left, it appears before washing, while on the right, it showcases the item after being washed.

Aura Level Increase for facilitation

One of the most significant enhancements in this extension is the revised Aura system, which will now support a maximum Aura level of 400. In this new system, the current maximum Aura level of 66 will be equivalent to the new Aura level 230. Psst! A Secret ist hidden.

For more information, please refer to the changelog for version 27.000, which will be released shortly before the update. Additionally, you can explore our FAQ regarding the Arcane Toilet and the Info Screen that appears when you enter the toilet in-game (after the update, of course).

Beta 2 Plague Doctor

The second iteration of the Plague Doctor will be presented in a closed beta test, set for August 13, 2025. This exciting development comes after carefully considering the valuable feedback we received during our initial closed beta. This phase offers a wonderful opportunity for further testing and refinement, and we appreciate your involvement in this journey.

Here are the thoughtful adjustments planned for this test:

• A permanent evasion chance of 20%.

• The cooldown period between poisonings has been removed; however, players will need to wait until their opponent is no longer under the effects of poison before throwing a tincture.

• There is now a single type of tincture, which inflicts a poisoning duration of 3 rounds. During this time, the poisoning effect, which enhances the Plague Doctor's evasion chance, and the damage dealt by the tincture will gradually diminish as the duration increases, adding an interesting layer to the gameplay.

We warmly invite you to join our Beta Test Discord to share your feedback and engage in meaningful discussions about the Plague Doctor with fellow community members. Your insights are invaluable to us, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Hellevator

The next Hellevator will open its doors to hell on August 21, 2025, perfectly timed for the launch of EU22 (see information below).

Serverstart

The game world of EU22 is set to launch on August 22, 2025.

Summer Collectifun

August will conclude with the Summer Collectifun, a vibrant 10-day event featuring special tasks that allow players to earn up to three reward chests by completing these tasks on time.

Participants can look forward to exciting rewards, including gold, hourglasses filled with sand collected from the beach during Shakes' latest trip, additional beer at the tavern, and a legendary gem.

September

Update

This update introduces several optimizations to the game, and a significant adjustment to the Bard class: the influence of stamina on the bonus duration of the Bard's melody of vigor will be eliminated. This change is being made thoughtfully, in response to your feedback we've received from the community. We appreciate your input as we strive to enhance the experience for everyone.

Good news for the winners of the class competition on EU20 and from the Scavenger Hunt on Twitch: Your personal avatars will be implemented in the game!

Beta 3 Plague Doctor

The third closed beta will be happening to test the latest adjustments after implementing feedback from the second closed beta.

Legendary Dungeon

Get ready for the return of the Legendary Dungeon! This time, you'll have the opportunity to gather the elusive legendary items that you may have missed, as this iteration of the Legendary Dungeon will revisit a previous round.

Oktoberfest

What would September be without Oktoberfest? While it may sound a bit unusual to celebrate Oktoberfest in September, the festival was originally held in October. However, to take advantage of better weather and attract more visitors, the event was moved to September, while retaining its original name.

In the world of Shakes & Fidget, the weather is always pleasant, but we remain true to German tradition nonetheless.

Join us for free beers and a variety of exciting events during Oktoberfest. Cheers!
