Path of the Vampire forum

Just a post to say I've been busy for a couple of weeks getting ready for an exhibition, and that's caused a lack of updates. I'm going to catch up on PMs now, and will get on top of bugs as soon as I'm able.

Hi all. I've had an influx of art commissions come in this month, so I'm trying to find some time for bug fixing. I'll be on it ASAP!

Sirens! Yep, a new class! We're working on this update for the next couple of months, and it should be ready to play with soon.

This is being made possible due to out Patreon "slave Dave" tier, where people get to choose which planned update we work on for X amount of hours each week, and also in part due to the Welcome Home celebration month, where we've pledged to work 1 hour per $10 of karma sold during the month of May.

Also posting here to say that David and I are planning to release more end game content geared towards high level grid players - which we'll be working on to release around the same time as, or possibly after the Sirens.

Just letting you guys know what we're doing with our time, since we promised that every $10 in donations this month will result in an hour of work we put into Path.

P. S. I'll leave it to David to decide if he wants to say exactly what that project is or if he wants it to be a surprise!

Small update: The Sirens are coming along nicely.

I'm also going to be working on more end game loot later this week.

Two new relics have been added to the game, courtesy of Cliff! Both of these are roleplayer relics, and have no use on the grid.

Circlet of Introspection
Obtain by: Posting RP or killing enemies. End game loot, so your chances to find it increase if your in-game level is high.
Description: Gives 10% more role play points per post on forum role play only. Bound to the holder, and can never be given away or sold at auction.
Notes: Can be sold to shops for a decent amount.

Ring of Fortune's Friend
Obtain by: Posting RP ONLY. End game loot, so your chances to find it increase if your in-game level is high, but the base chance to find it is 100 to 1 (per loot drop).
Description: Automatically gives one re-roll on forum role play loot. Whichever item is rarer, keep that one instead. Bound to the holder and cannot be auctioned or given away.
Notes: Can be sold to shops for a decent amount.

Just as a general update about what's going on:

We're still working on sirens, though they may be ready for testing by the community by the end of the month or shortly after. They have about 3 powers left, and probably some other miscellaneous things that will need to be sorted out during the bug fixing/ testing/ balancing phase post-full release.

We're also working on end game loot, and you should begin to see things getting added to the global loot pool in waves rather than all at once and this update should probably take us through the end of June - depending on how many slave hours get devoted to other projects.

I just thought I'd poke here since those updates aren't really immediate and require a lot of behind the scenes action before roll out.

We are also going to be working on adding more things for people to do with their karma which should also span next month (and beyond).

Giving an update! I'm currently working on a new town, which is going to feature decently high level NPCs (I won't give away too much yet). I also plan to work on end game loot this week too (hopefully with a second phase release either next week or the week after depending on time availability), and I also plan to finalize Siren roleplay curses/powers, and answer some information about Sirens (like questions in the Q&A thread).

Just to let everyone know I've had a rough week or so. Apologies for not doing much this week. I'll be back soon with some bug fixes and some new stuff :)

Just so everyone is aware: I've temporarily disabled ARES events and the RP loot for a couple of days while we figure out a bug. Sorry for any inconvenience.
