4.5.0 S3 Battlepass & Xmas Event

Waterfiend -

Hi, this is a major update as we begin S3 of our Battlepass, a Christmas event, and many more miscellaneous changes & fixes.

As usual, guild rewards are now claimable. These will stay available until the 5th, so make sure to claim them via /ginfo rewards.

To celebrate the festive season, and get yourself a festive look across characters, run /claimhat in the Nexus. This will send an exclusive 2022/2023 Winter Season Santa Hat to your gift chest. Equip it to see the magic. :)

If you want to see all the bot changes, check them out here.

New Helper Additions

We would like to congratulate Gancho, Silent, and Kai for being promoted to helpers. They are a great addition to our staff team as they have very good community reception, and Kai was a previous mod too. Make sure to congratulate them!

We would like to also thank everyone else who applied, hopefully you can join us in the future!

Winter Season

As the weather quickly turns cold across the globe, we'll begin to roll out a few festive pieces of Content.

Reskins

During the entire duration of December there will be 8 item reskins! These include Black Belt, Sword of Undead Necromancy, Thunder and Lightning, Typhoon Wand, and their upgrades! These will have new, unique names and drop from their original sources, replacing the drop! There will be another limited edition drop from the Xmas Dungeon.

thanks BQ (the cookie is backwards, will be fixed in prod)

Twelve Days Of Christmas

The 12 Days of Valormas event will run from December 19th to December 31st. It includes a separate and festive battlepass with 12 missions; 2 additional reskins; a dungeon; and some love for alerts! It kicks off with a Movie Night on Sunday, December 18th! In the days leading up to the event, more information will be revealed via the #event-announcements channel in the Valor Discord.

Winter Events

As the weather quickly turns cold across the globe, we'll begin to roll out a few festive pieces of content. This includes the winterfied Nexus, item reskins, and an event that will begin our 12 days of valormas event

S3 Battlepass

Bringing in our 3rd season now, that will last as usual for 3 months and bring on the festiveness of Christmas.

Rewards

  • Various Housing Snowmen unlockers
  • Royal Winter Themed character skins
  • Special Sprays, Skin Effects, Emotes, and Festive Pets!
  • Winter chat Icon

Seasonal Reskins

The new themes will be Christmas and Royal Winter. The Orb of Transformation also takes on a festive look as we herald in the skin lines by BQ & Ohwy. Each ability, weapon, armor type, and ring has a possible reskin from each line.

Special Missions Tab

Observant eyes may have noticed that the Battle Pass lady has a new menu offering, the "Special Missions", but that it's currently empty!

While it's currently empty, I would keep an eye out mid-month, as Missions begin appearing leading up to the 25th.

Special Missions are one-time missions that reward an item upon completion, instead of battle pass XP. They may or may not be time sensitive depending on the type of mission and content.

Star Icon Swapping

The Pumpkin Star Icon unlocker is now fully working. S3 introduces a Winter Icon as the Normal Lvl100 Reward. Whenever you use a star swapper, you will unlock it permanently.

Use /staricon ingame to swap between unlocked icons.

Dagger Rebalancing

As part of our continuous balancing, we have gone ahead and rebalanced almost all the daggers. Hopefully this will bring out some new metas, and help with certain builds that previously weren't viable. All changes can be viewed in the doc below.
