TGIF! Game Updates for October 27, 2023
Happy Friday, players!
If you didn’t know this past week was Kano’s 15th anniversary! Thank you to all of our players for being the greatest community anyone could ask for. We had a celebratory livestream hosted by Matthew and Amaris along with giveaways and prizes for those who joined. If you missed it, worry not you can catch the video on our Youtube page and keep your eyes peeled here for the announcement of the next one. With all that said, let’s jump into the news of the week!
In-Game Updates
Vikings growing up have always been told to keep to the road and stay out of the woods after dark. For good reason too, because elk and rabbits aren’t the only thing to call the dense ancient forests home. Stories of powerful beings wielding old blood magic have lingered for ages and it seems they are no longer content lying in wait. Prepare yourselves warriors of Viking Clan, the Skinwalker Raid Boss has struck! Rise to the challenge to not only earn XP and loot, but even get a chance at a Mythic item drop.
Grab the ale and toss the pumpkins because the Halloween Sale has stormed into Viking Clan! There are brand new spooky bundles of Favor Points and items to check out while you can. Don’t wait too long because this promotion will only be offered until Saturday October 28th at 9AM (PDT). The Slidr Scorched Skull is a deadly weapon that will prove very useful against the Skinwalker.
This past week our team released a new Prestige Location to Zombie Slayer: Vancouver! Eligible Slayers can now take on Bronze Tier Adventures to earn bonus XP, Cash, SP, and Prestige Coins. You can learn more about Prestige Locations here: https://support.kanoplay.com/hc/en/7-zombie-slayer/faq/699-prestige-locations/?p=all
The Faction Quest event is live now in Zombie Slayer! Gather your Faction members and work your way through 6 quests to earn Loot Cases. Remember that Medium and Hard quests will reward UN Credits based on your contributions.
As most players know for many (many) years now there has been a system built into the Hitlist (Bounty list) that slightly delays a player after they’ve claimed a bunch of kills off the Hitlist. This means that after it is triggered when a new hit goes up it will take an extra moment before you see it. This system is there to help with target distribution and give more players a chance to try and get a kill off the Hitlist. This past week we released a visual update to give players more clarity and context for when the delay is in effect. Now a message will appear on the Hitlist page when delayed. We hope this will help players out and as always please share any feedback or comments with the Support team.
Lastly, Pirate Clan and Mob Wars LCN, your Armada/Syndicate War events begin today. PC players can dive in now (10AM PDT), while the LCN event begins at 4PM (PDT). Battle hard for the best rewards and good luck!
