Thursday 15 December 2016[]
Version: v0.91
- The Nate Before Christmas Year 2!
Features:
- Updated the Nate Before Christmas event for year 2:
- Added new tier 1 objective to fill out the bunch. Much like the Carnival, Halloween, and Thanksgiving events, this new objective must be completed before moving on to tier 2. This is the last time we're doing this, though, as subsequent events all already have 5 tier 1 objectives.
- You've Been Naughty: Beat area 250, you naughty player you
- Added five new tier 2 objectives:
- The Dark Night: Reach area 300 while your front row is under constant attack
- Robo-Reindeer: Reach area 300 while escorting a malfunctioning reindeer
- Presents!: Reach area 400 while you receive tons of presents!
- Let It Snow: Reach area 450 before you get buried under snow
- Robo-Christmas: Reach area 500 with only certain Crusaders
- The tier 1 objective "Milk and Cookie Run" now requires you finish within 65 minutes, up from 60.
- Tier 1 recruit objectives will automatically be marked as complete if you recruited their Crusaders via missions.
- Requirement for the two Candy Cane spending achievements lowered to 16,500 and 33,000 respectively
- Christmas Chests have been updated to drop loot for any of the four Crusaders, however gear for tier 2 Crusaders will only appear if those Crusaders are recruited.
- Christmas Chests have had their weighting adjusted to be slightly more giving. T'is the season, after all.
- As before, the event dialog now lets you toggle between tier 1 and tier 2 of an event; you can still complete achievements, earn loot, and do objectives in either year at any time.
- Added new tier 1 objective to fill out the bunch. Much like the Carnival, Halloween, and Thanksgiving events, this new objective must be completed before moving on to tier 2. This is the last time we're doing this, though, as subsequent events all already have 5 tier 1 objectives.

- Frosty's Pauldron loot items now increase the power of "Storm Rider" instead of increasing global DPS.
