DeFi Kingdoms ANNOUNCEMENTS

hello everyone Hopefully you've all had a chance to check out the latest info on tournaments, because it's time for more info! Linked below is a Google Calendar which we will be using for tournament scheduling! It currently has the first 4 weeks of tournament times and rules loaded in, and we will be adding to it throughout the series! Please note that we are going to try to avoid changing times/days/rules once scheduled, but do reserve the right to do so if necessary. The times displayed in the calendar are the start times of the tournament. Registration will open 1 hour prior and close 10 minutes prior to the start time. The end times are estimates to indicate roughly the anticipated length of the tournament, but are not guaranteed. For the time being, all tournaments will have the following universal rules: Battle Inventory - 60, Battle Budget - 11, 30 second shot clock, 4 enforcements result in a forfeit of that player. Check the Medium article below for details on entry fees and rewards. Exact entry fee and reward amounts will be set prior to each tournament, following those guidelines. Also please note that the Treasure Chest rewards will not be openable at launch, but there will be a follow-on release for those to be opened. https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=bDFua2txdThqaGZwMGtkMDNvcHFoMzJyMnNAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ https://medium.com/defi-kingdoms-official/introducing-defi-kingdoms-player-vs-player-tournaments-1568e8369ff1

Patrols Demo If you don't own Heroes yet or just want to grab a sneak-peek at the Patrols feature, chat with Deputy Gillford, select Try Patrols Demo, and choose which stage you want to try. Each Demo includes hand-selected Heroes, abilities and battle budget to give you a proper taste of the fight for an appropriately leveled and equipped Hero (without rewards). Fight off different enemy configurations and gather strategies for dealing with the real thing. But most importantly, enjoy the heat of the battle! Combat Engine Updates As you may have already seen, @sashei has been kind enough to post an update to ⁠📢combat-system-updates with various balance changes, updates, and bug fixes. This release has quite a laundry list of improvements so give it a look. I can't remember when I've been more excited for a release than I am for Patrols. This feature brings us one step closer to a complete game loop and lays the foundation for a great new adventuring system. We hope you enjoy all the wonderful new art, sound, and mechanics that went into making this feature. And, as always, thank for your support and for being an awesome community! Godspeed and good patrolling!

Good release day, Kingdom! The whole team is beyond excited to introduce you to one of our most anticipated and legendary features to date! Patrols is a brand new PVE experience that introduces 3 new stages with fantastic art and music from our design teams, 51 possible enemy encounters, 12 new monsters with unique abilities, stats, and FX, 8 new rare equipment drops, a new consumable combat item, and a whole lot of fun! Let's jump into the deets before I explode from the excitement. Patrols As the city of Submersia continues to grow as a bustling hub for travelers, it has started gathering a more... criminal undercurrent across its many districts. Luckily, the ranks of Bannermen has increased daily and should provide the perfect solution for the growing unrest and dark undercurrents plaguing the city. Deputy Gillford Finnigan is on the case, ready to send out the city's militia of Bannermen to crack down on the ruffians, monsters, and deep-sea terrors congregating at night to terrorize the populace. And that's where you come in! First, sign your Heroes up as Bannermen for the city! Not only can you earn XP rewards, influence and other benefits from staking your Heroes, you will also receive XP, gold, shells, and rare rewards from completing Patrols on a daily basis. Choose from one of three Patrol tiers to start your nightly watch: Night Raid, optimal for level 1 - 3 Heroes, will pit you against a group of ruffians hanging outside bars and in alleyways in the Merchant District of Submersia. They're not the most organized group of baddies around but they still pack a (sucker) punch or two. Straighten them out before they hurt an innocent bystander. -Dark Waters, optimal for level 4 - 6 Heroes, drops you in the Mariner's District where a slimy selection of deep-sea monstrosities have chased off the dock workers and threaten to bring Submersian shipping to a halt. Do what it takes to send them back to the depths where they belong! Blood Moon, optimal for level 7 - 9 Heroes, sends you to the Military District to investigate reports of violent apparitions and other-worldly entities disrupting normal military operations. The Void may have called them here but you'll need to knock them back to sender. After defeating one stage, you will have the option to continue into the next stage, either continuing with the current difficulty level or moving up to the next tier. Your group of Heroes will recover 20% of their health and mana between stages and unconscious Heroes will be resurrected for the next fight. Their positions and consumables will persist between stages. Each group can fight through a total of three stages per Patrol. If your Bannermen are too beaten and bloodied to continue, you can opt to end your Patrol between each stage and earn all the XP and rewards up to that point. If you choose to continue and lose, you only earn half the XP and gold for any defeated enemies and lose out on loot drops. So choose wisely! Each Hero is limited to three separate Patrols per night, following the same daily turnover time as Hunts, so you'll want to maximize your difficulty and ability to earn the highest rewards per Hero per day! Phew, that's a lot of exciting new information! Hopefully you can see how many opportunities this opens up for expanding this system into something bigger and better, as we add new enemies, paths, and unique encounters to expand the game loop. But for now, Deputy Gillford Finnigan is ready to put Bannermen to work on protecting the city of Submersia from the forces of evil. So get out there and do your part!

The bridges are cleared and all Heroes that have been wandering the last couple days should be in their rightful locations With the token bridge specifically, if you run into any issues, you may need to use the link at the bottom of the in-game page to use Synapses site directly. We’ll make sure that gets buttoned up as well

Hello everyone! We are currently experiencing some difficulties with the Synapse bridges, seemingly specifically involving DFKChain. This include any NFTs (Heroes, Pets, or Equipment) going between Crystalvale and Serendale, as well as any tokens coming to or from DFKChain to any other locations. The LayerZero bridges (inventory between Crystalvale and Serendale, as well as NFTs and inventory between Crystalvale and the Sundered Isles or Serendale and the Sundered Isles) are not impacted. We hope to have this resolved soon. Thank you for your patience!
