    Dear heroes of Dracania,

    August closes with release 172! The main protagonists of this update are the brand new dungeons you’ll find in Parallel Worlds. Venture to the city of Cardhun to discover three new maps, more quests, another boss to defeat and two new unique items! On top of that, we have reduced the price of our Deluxe memberships and added some bug fixes.
    Enjoy!

    New features

    New chapter available for Parallel Worlds!
    Release 172 brings a brand new chapter for our beloved Parallel Worlds. This update consists of three new maps (special versions of Teganswall, Hidden Sanctum and Tegan’s Ceremonial Hall), a new quest arc and, of course, a tougher boss to defeat. You have met him already...

    The Herald of the Anderworld will challenge you and your friends with his stun attacks and dangerous area of effect skills. Like all bosses, he’ll be immune to crowd control and mind control effects.

    In exchange, the Herald is bringing his own two-pieces set and a specific spirit core for crafting these. You can craft these items up to Tier 3, following the same mechanic as the other boss sets (you can read about this in our notes for release 171).

    Maximal stats on level 50 (Tier 3) are the following:​

    Changes

    Daily Challenges get a better explanation!
    We have added extra explicative tooltips that explain what you have to do in order to solve a given daily challenge.

    Deluxe Membership gets a reprice!
    Based on community feedback we have decided to reduce the price for Deluxe Memberships (except for the 1-year Deluxe Membership, which stays the same price). Have a look!

    Membership DurationPre-Rel172 PriceNew Price
    3 days€9.99€6.99
    1 month€24.99€21.99
    3 months€69.99€62.99
    6 months€99.99€89.99
    Bug Fixes

    Fewer memory crashes for all!
    We have fixed some of the most frequently recurring Memory Allocation crashes that some players were experiencing. Our next step is to deal with the FMOD crashes and general audio crashes.

    Virtual Currency selling prices have been corrected
    The selling prices for the new Blood Rune set and the old Ammon’s set where too high. This is fixed now.

    Andermant are credited correctly in the character selection screen
    Whenever players were using the cinema feature or were buying Andermant while being in the character selection screen, the Andermant amount was not immediately updated. Players needed trigger a new character creation screen or needed to start the game in order to see the new Andermant amount. This is now fixed.

    The PvP Daily Challenge “Win Battlegrounds: 1” has a display bar now
    We have added a progress bar to this challenge.

    Where are my skill effects?
    We have corrected a bug that was preventing other players from seeing some of the skill effects from different Parallel World sets (this was affecting Tier 3 items from the Grimmag, Heredur, and Bearach’s sets).

    With this release we are also applying a compensation for those Mac users who could not fully play during the Anniversary event due to some technical problems when downloading the client executable. Enjoy it and thanks for your patience!

    Go forth and conquer, heroes of Dracania!​

    Best regards,
    Your Drakensang Online Team
