We’ve sort of informally run these before, but with multiple elements in multiple different places. Now for special events, you can find all of the activities… Once, again… In one place! Each Advent Calendar can have the following: - Flash Offers associated with the event - Giveaways! - Special Event Tasks ![versus improvements](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/f/fc98e560a435578cff80197fd49a7944ebb5655a.png) The time has come for our first major update to PVP! We had two particular goals with this update: - Make leaderboards more competitive rather than clustered - Get people more appropriate opponents when matchmaking ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/7/7065c6492765d86cd4e2e841bd9cf9545e0c9a5b.png) - In Tourneys, you now have the ability to choose from 3 opponents before entering into battle! - These opponents are chosen from three different criteria: - Level - Current Tourney Points - Gear score _Your Gear Score is based on the highest Gear Score that can be made from the items you own which adhere to the Tourney’s restrictions, not your currently equipped Gear Score._ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/6/65b59f86e1e44687cee9fd3fd881d441023a640c.png) The UI for Versus has been updated to reflect the above changes. - 3D character previews have replaced the 2D portraits in the pre battle screen. - A direct link to the Honor shop has been included in the Versus screen. - The Join Tourney screen has been given a refresh. - You can also now view the rewards and Leaderboards from a Tourney before joining. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/e/eabe5157ec5486eba4b94ccf2975a9b94322c496.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/9/9265a097e221259e162be1fd430bac8f3084adce.png) - Opponents will now be worth a set number of points, based on their perceived strength, rather than every opponent giving the same number of points. - - _The strength of the opponent is determined by their stats_ - The bonus to your score based on your current win streak has been removed (but you’ll still get to see your current win streak) - There will now be bonuses instead of detriments to the final score based on your Armor, Resistance, and Life remaining at the end of battle. - The turn detriment to scoring has been removed, so winning faster does not guarantee the highest score ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/e/e9515040aeedb7b0e75fe623401ba3dcef037a48.png) - Both the Tier Rewards for Tourneys, as well as the Leaderboard rewards have been updated. Rewards will now increase as the Player climbs Leagues in each Tourney. - The total scores required for rewards have also been updated to reflect the changes to the scoring. - Honor rewarded from each battle has also increased slightly as you climb Leagues. - We recommend updating your version before participating in Tourneys in order to receive the updated rewards and experience. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/d/de5f07fc4e856d537d644946239e1a2875bc9b02.png) - Tourney rotations will reset with the beginning of Season 2.2. - The Elite Tourney weapon group pool has been expanded to include two more groups of weapons: - New items have been added to the Honor Shop > **Open Tourneys** > > ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/6/6fcecc20e04b721b6d3db4c9f01ccd3096d92cd9.png) > > ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/e/e5828c4d508e69cd896e45eb89e88449b2225cfc.png) > **Restricted Tourneys** > > ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/3/3d9269813ee7dc38bd0bc076493d59e022a983a8.png) > > ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/8/830c49ed17de11d41e287b60b44f5ed8e53cc581.png) > **Elite Tourneys** > > ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/6/6bad27d7154cb798bebbbd58b6897eee39bdf72d.png) > > ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/e/eba5ac414646e6cfd63045731cdd86d3eda3e61b.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/3/3037ffdae72f0a2480411e1f340104aeecc0b0c4.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/a/a4675b384dd16d09a4329ab194c8b71f384e658f.png) - To add more variety to Adventures, we’ve now added support for Blocked Nodes!

This can be changed from Very Slow to Very Fast. - Auto Advance Conversations – Enable or disable Auto-Advancing from outside of conversations - Advance Interval Time – The amount of time before the conversation will auto-advance to the next conversation piece. This is to help provide players their amount of time they want before going to the next step. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/4/4996acdd3a6ae2c89d7766034807829d4da59059.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/a/a31150279b077a0991bb37731c32bcbc9733c81f.png) - Final attack damage in a battle shows for longer before fading out - Added button to access the kingdom leaderboard to the title bar in the kingdom menu - Added wallet button back onto the header in the shop menu - Added possible minion and crystal rewards to Dungeon reward menu - Collecting and Crafting from followers will now generally use the smaller wallet popup, if a minion, item, spell or extra inventory slots are gained, then it will use the full screen reward menu - Added confirmation popup before spending gems on follower crafting - Added scroll bar and a larger gradient mask to the Chest Slots to make it clearer that the area can be scrolled if not all slots are visible. - Improved readability on the bonus key and duration text when sending minions to open chests - Item tooltips now auto-scroll when the text exceeds the size, rather than shrinking the text ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/b/b20356b94fc1735849d3eed355f42a8cbbb77306.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/2/262399fd5c11099e10e8dca9a9b94cebb1a0b663.png) - Fixed issue with Autoplay causing endless-casts when no matches are available - Tourney Trophy bonuses are now correct - Fixed issue where player dying during long Gem Cascade causes soft lock - Fixed issue where Arachnophobia prompt fails to display the first time a spider is encountered - Fixed issue where Plague Priest’s Aura of Antharg healed more than intended - Fixed issue where Basilisk’s Poisonous Hide updated so that the first of the 2 turn duration is not immediately consumed - Eldritch Wrap Fixed: Correctly applies Doom to enemy instead of self, and correctly only applies to physical damage - Fixed issue where the game doesn’t automatically assign a new main hero when the current main hero is deleted - Fixed issue where Dwarven Boots would trigger more than once per turn. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/8/86313c3f34352aab4f6e8ffe5d0bbb9009ba1d33.png) - Rarity color is no longer missing from certain spell descriptions - Fixed issue where the player’s selected Hero character appears over the enemy character in the enemy’s information window when the user selects the ‘?’ Option. - Fixed background environment not reloading in on some menus after looking at the change hero menu ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/a/a31150279b077a0991bb37731c32bcbc9733c81f.png) - Fixed issue with overly sensitive pinch to zoom - Fixed issue where Flash offer bonus reward icons appear blurred - Fixed issue where recommended adventure difficulty was selecting ‘Ultimate’ instead of expected difficulty ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/2/2c3fe5a7b4b7706cb3906e3cc80dc41ea2af42bd.png) - Fixed issue where kingdoms could get reset twice changing the bazaar deals. - Fixed issue where VIP rewards could not be collected if you used the badge in the system bar ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/f/fe4002429f882cdec31af7625313268bbfd4d94c.png) - Gold total in gear/spell upgrade pop-up does not update, preventing upgrade if player collects mail while in the gear screen - ‘Rooster’s Crow’ passive is not triggering when 10+ yellow gems are matched - Reflect can be triggered after an enemy is defeated- this can cause a loss with the player taking reflected damage before the battle resolves - Leaving game in background causes black background - Minotaur Paladin tail is way too excited - Plague Witch ‘Infuse Poison’ can remove Hero Gems (Imp Gem) - When the board is in a state where there are no Gems in that moment available to match, the “End Turn” prompt will appear.
