[Dev Diary] The Golem Halloween Invasion
Halloween 2013: Additional information about the in-game event.
Dear Settlers,
The first signs of Halloween are here: pumpkins are starting to show up everywhere, the nights are getting longer and the exciting atmosphere of the spooky holiday is heading towards us! It is a perfect time to provide you more information about our upcoming in-game event.
The Halloween 2013 event will start after the maintenance on 17th of October 2013.
[*]14th of November 2013
The whole event will be deactivated: all running Halloween quests will be canceled, the Halloween shop category will be deactivated,
all Golems will disappear from home islands, graphics will be restored to default ones etc.[/list]
During the the Halloween 2013 event, you will be able to produce 3 Golem Buffs in the Provision house:
Name: Marbles
Required resource: Marble
Description: Golems are clumsy. By putting lots of marbles in a Golem's way, you will make him crash to the ground.
Name: Ropes
Required resource: Wheat
Description: Once the Golem has fallen to the ground, you can capture him by using these strong ropes.
Name: Bucket of Water
Required resource: Water
Description: With the Golem incapacitated, you can use water to extinguish his flames and freeze him to stone.
If you want to help your game world to achieve its goal, you need to defeat the first Golem that shows up on your home island. Further Golems (second, third etc.) will not affect your game world progress, but killing them will provide you individual rewards.
Just click on the Golem to see what needs to be done in order to defeat him, an example:
Picture on the left represents the interface where you can decide how many Golem Buffs you want to use.
Picture in the center represents the list of Golem Buffs that are available for you (Golem Buffs in production are not listed here).
Picture on the right represents the remaining health of each heart of Golem.
Additional information:
You can help your friends with defeating their Golems. Just produce Golem Buffs, visit your friend's island and activate buffs on their Golem.
Players of each game world will try to defeat a common boss together in order to receive rewards. The boss will appear at the lake at the center of each player's home island. Game worlds will not compete with each other and each game world has its own goal to achieve.
If your game world manages to reach its goal, you will receive a special reward, including the unique Golden Golem Statue:
Each game world has an individual goal that is calculated based on the game world's economy.
If your game world reaches its goal, you can still defeat your remaining Golems until the first removal phase takes place.
In order to check the current progress of your game world, just open the quest book and find "Server quests" category there. There will be a special quest ("The Golem") which shows the current progress.
Important information:
Defeating the first Golem on your home island will affect your game world's goal.
Defeating further Golems will provide you individual rewards, but will not affect your game world's goal.
As usual, you can leave your feedback in this thread!
Happy settling!
