    Greetings Fellow Avatars!

    This week’s update brings us an entirely new adventure scene — Spindelskog! Located in Mistrendur, this new scene is for Episode 2 Access holders, and features a new quest and several new creature variants! Also, many changes are coming to how we process Player-Owned Town vouchers. Dynamically scaled scenes have received a new style tier marker, and subscriber reward login items will receive more varied themes going forward. For those wishing to participate in any community activities, upcoming one-time and recurring community events have been announced! Be sure to also review the Players Guide and Known Issues list for additional information on recent changes and upcoming fixes. Now, let’s see what we have for you in this week’s edition of Update of the Avatar:

    Love the glasses! Thank you for that. :cool:

    Also let me suggest the phrase for next months live-streams: I wear my sunglasses at night

    Haha, that would be a good one -- and I'm glad you like them! I think this might be the first piece of dyable glass maybe? Damon did a great job on those :) The round are definitely my favorite.

    @Elgarion It'd be nice if new scene announcements gave a rough idea of where to find them on the map. I've been running around trying to find Myrkur for ten minutes. (Gonna be pretty angry if it's not even in the game yet...)

    Yeah, I did finally find it. My point stands, though- the actual announcement seems to be the best spot to give a clue to the location.

    Didn't last week's announcement for Myrkur give the location for Myrkur? This week was about Spindelskog, which also gave directions.

    Also folks, evidently we had 2 sets of glasses made. One is for rewards, which are sunglasses and the glass has tint. The the plain glasses are already on the store. I've updated the update :p

    Also, the vault round triggered, I updated the update for that too, hehe. Alrighty.

    Duplicated directions in this week's update as well.

    Apparently it did. But it seems to me that if a person wants to find some information about a new release, the announcement for that release would be the first place a person would look. Not wrong to do it the other way, just not the first place a person might look.

    Might not be such a problem, though, if the banners that have scene names were working. You have to be right on top of Spindelskog to find it it; there's no banner that appears when you get close like most other scenes. Same for Myrkur, I couldn't find it because you literally have to be right on top of it to know that it's a scene entrance.

    I hope the loot is updated this next release! as its obvious that loot and xp for producer has not been updated for this area yet.

    Agreed. I think the shadow beasties' unique drops might make it in next release, but no word yet on scaling loot for scaling scenes. So instead of 13 gold and 2 corpse wax; it'll be 13 gold, 2 corpse wax, and a shadow essence. (Or whatever they'll be called.) TBH, I think the term "essence" is getting a little overused. Hopefully they will get a more creative name.

    I think the shadow creatures should be less resistant to the magic of the sun.
