Game plan evolving

Thank you to everyone that has been logging in, enjoying, and sharing your thoughts on the last few months of mid-week treasure hunts and updates.

Examples of mid-week mini-releases include:

Treasure Hunts using riddles, ciphers, and clues to find new gear
Adding new quests or rewards to already-released areas
Adding new reward gear to existing shops, merge shops, and monsters

New: Star Rating Difficulty Guide

To help you better gauge the type, length, and difficulty of our mid-week updates, we're adding Star Ratings (like you see on monsters).

1 star: Pretty simple. Most players should be able to finish this with little to no issue.
2 star: Slightly more complex. It might take looking up a clue or two on the wiki, or talking to friends.
3 star: Somewhat complex. These may have a ciper or a multi-step clue to solve.
4 star: Complex. Tough clues, 1 or 2 unique clue locations, and may be level-locked.
5 star: Very complex. Very difficult clues, multiple unique clue locations, will likely require heroes to show/hide the UI, check background art, and may require some monster farming.

Thank you to everyone that has been logging in, enjoying, and sharing your thoughts on the last few months of mid-week treasure hunts and updates. We'll continue to evolve our mid-week updates based on your feedback!
