New features

• World Boss: new global event in which all players of a game world fight against a World Boss and compete with all other worlds at the same time.
• Dungeon expansions:
  • 5 new dungeons (for both Light and Shadow World) and 10 new achievements for completing them
    • “Arcade of the Old Pixel Icons”
    • “The Server Room”
    • “Workshop of the Hunters of the Undead”
    • “Retro TV Legends”
    • “The Meeting Room”
  • “Continuous Loop of Idols”:
    • Expansion with 9 new idols (features a total of 30 idols now)
    • Some creators have been replaced, and some existing creators have received new avatars.
  • “The 13th Floor”
    • One enemy has been replaced
• Surveys: can be taken in the game now instead of using external forms. As soon as a survey is available, players with an S&F Account will be notified in the character selection.

General adjustments

• Expeditions: Happy Hour (11 PM to midnight server time) has been removed so that countdowns can no longer be skipped with mushrooms during this time. The permanent Happy Hour on world AM1 has been removed, too.

Improvements

• Fusion: The error popup during a fusion now displays the local time of the client instead of a fixed time zone.

Fixed bugs

• Witch: Fixed a bug that caused a crash when the "Enchantment" tab was opened and a Warrior or Paladin was previously selected in the Hall of Fame.
• Arena Manager: fixed an info screen bug that did not list the Speed Boosts as a requirement for Platinum Boosts.
• Expeditions: fixed a display error that caused the XP tooltip during the gold event (“Glorious Gold Galore”) to display the XP bonus (“x2 bonus”) for the XP event (“Exceptional XP Event”) in the final score, even though the latter was not active.
• International Hall of Fame: fixed a bug that assassins, bards, berserkers, druids, necromancers and paladins caused less damage than when fighting in their local Halls of Fames.
• Battle Mage:
  • Fixed a display error that the animation of the Arcane Comet at the start of a fight wasn’t shown properly if a fight had been skipped before.
  • Fixed a display error that did not show the correct graphic under the title “Arcane Gauntlet” in SD mode.
• Mail:
  • Fixed a display error that swapped the enemy descriptions in the fight logs of the dungeon “Continuous Loop of Idols” and showed wrong descriptions of different dungeon enemies in pet habitat fights.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the arrow symbol to disappear when a message was selected, but it had already been replied to.
  • Fixed a display bug that caused the screen to flicker for a short time when claiming Twitch Drops.
• Companions: fixed a display bug that did not show the gladiator bonus on the critical hit screens of the companions, mannequin and pets. In addition, the damage tooltip of the companions and the mannequin now displays the portal bonus of the guild.
• Character screen:
  • Mount: fixed a display bug that did not show the expiry date on the mount tooltip.
  • Potions: fixed a display bug that did not show the expiry date for all languages.
• Hellevator:
  • Fixed a display bug that showed an increased reward for floors because of the chocolate gold coin although it had been consumed for a Hell Attack before and was no longer in the inventory. Defeating the enemy of a floor displayed and rewarded the correct loot though.
  • Fixed a display error that sometimes displayed the enemy names incorrectly during a Hell Attack.
• Dungeons:
  • Fixed a display error that caused green enemy backgrounds although they are supposed to be yellow (e.g. in the Tower or in dungeons of Light and Shadow World).
  • Training Camp: Fixed a bug where the 4th opponent (Broken Brian) attacked with a magic weapon even though he is a warrior.
• Guild: fixed a bug that raids could not be started if there was only one guild member.
• Shops: fixed a display error that showed incorrect graphics for the shop owners at night.
• Arena: fixed a display bug that mirrored the Twitch frame.

Mobile Apps

• Character (portrait mode): fixed a display bug that saved the position when scrolling the character description so that viewing the descriptions of other players also had this offset, but scrolling up was not possible, thus making the upper part of descriptions impossible to read.
• S&F Account Login (iOS): fixed a bug that resulted in an error message when logging in via Facebook.

World F9 (old client)

The changes and new features above are part of update 26.0 only. Players on world F9 who use the old client (Steam, Android, iOS) instead of the preview client (browser) will have to face the following problems:

• The update will be deployed to world F9 before the World Boss Sale in the WebShop where a special pack is available. This pack contains two event resources (town banners & catalysts) that will be sent to a player’s inbox as a credit note. Claiming this note will be only possible once the event has started.
• The credit note will be correctly displayed with client 26.0. Client 25.5 will not have the graphics for the event resources including the hint on limited collection. Nevertheless, an error message will appear if an attempt is made to claim the resources before the event starts.

These problems will be fixed without side effects as soon as players update the client to the new version 26.0.
