| − | === Zugzwang's Tower -- New Area Now Open! ===
| |
| − | ''{{date|26|August|2010}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>A new area is now open for Lord and Lady hunters!</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Zugzwang's Tower is located in the Rodentia Region, and hunters can gain access to it once they have collected four key shards from the Seasonal Garden and assembled them into Zugzwang's Tower Key. The tower is like no other hunting location in the game, featuring a brand new way to hunt mice!</p>
| + | NEWSPOST OPENING LINE(S) |
| | | | |
| − | <p>If you have been hunting in the new Seasonal Garden area, you have no doubt noticed your increasing 'Tower Amplifier' stat on the heads-up display. With the tower now open, it's time to put that amplifier to use! When hunting in Zugzwang's Tower, your trap's power will be multiplied by your Tower Amplifier, providing a power bonus of up to 75%. When your amplifier drops below 100%, your trap's power and luck will begin to reduce, until they become zero and you are incapable of capturing mice. When your amplifier runs low, make sure to return to the Seasonal Garden to recharge it.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Your amplifier won't be the only new stat displayed on your heads-up display while in Zugzwang's Tower. Additionally, two new progress bars will appear showing how many Technic and Mystic mice you have caught since you entered. Upon capturing the correct mice, new types will then be available along with previous varieties. The correct order of capture is: Eight pawns, two knights, two bishops, two rooks, one queen and finally the king. In order to win, you will have to battle your way through all the chess pieces in the Tower.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>There's lots of new items and loot to be found in the tower! Hunting kings may reveal how to attract a more fearsome adversary who holds a key item to crafting a very powerful base. The Seasonal Garden's trapsmith and general store have new items for sale specifically for hunting within Zugzwang's Tower. Winning this game of chess will require some thought and strategy, so study these new traps and items carefully and plan your moves in advance!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Put on your thinking caps, and good luck conquering the Tower, MouseHunters!</p>

| − | <hr />
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>There's a lot more than a new area in this release! We've overhauled a few existing pages and even added a brand new section!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>'''Here's a breakdown of what else is new with this update:'''</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Loot items are now clickable in journal entries and link to a new page called "Larry's Loot Lexicon". This new page shows some basic item information to help reduce confusion when finding a new item for the first time.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>We added black and white thumbnails and search filters to the stats section of the mice page and hunter profiles. This change will easily allow hunters to see what mice in a group they have yet to catch to help to see how to complete their collection!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>The items tab on hunter profiles has been given collection stats. If you're a collector of trap parts or map pieces, having all of these items earns you a check-mark on your profile. Limited edition items do not count towards collection totals and are instead displayed in brackets as a bonus.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>We overhauled the look and functionality of crafting and the recipe book. We also corrected a problem where page popups would appear at the top of the page while scrolled down. The recipe book is now sorted into categories to make it easier to find what you're looking for.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>We improved mouse popups on the adversary page. Clicking the image of the mouse now displays a higher-resolution image. Global stats have also been added in the popups, which update once a day.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>We reduced the frequency of a problem where players went on two simultaneous hunts, registering an extra caught mouse in their stats without record of a journal or loot.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>We corrected a problem where Student of the Cheese Belt mice would not steal gold or points.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>We corrected a problem where King's Crown journal entries would be improperly time-stamped for trap checks.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>We corrected a problem where brown and grey mice were being shown on Furoma's regional mice page.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Phew! We hope everyone enjoys this massive update, packed with cheesy deliciousness!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Happy hunting!</p>

| | <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| − | <p>Hello to all you Lords and Ladies in the Seasonal Garden!</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>We have now hunted through Winter, Spring and Summer! Fall is just around the corner, and with it comes the final key shard. Once you find all four key shards, they can be combined to gain access to Zugzwang's Tower.</p>
| + | ==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ==== |
| | + | CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH |
| | | | |
| − | <p>With all the commotion out in the garden, it seems the mice in the tower have been busy barricading the door! It may be another day or two before the barricade can be broken down, so until then, Zugzwang's Tower will remain locked, regardless of whether or not players have the key.</p>
| + | ==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ==== |
| | + | CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Once we've finished putting some of the finishing touches on Zugzwang's Tower, we'll remove the barricade and let hunters in. To get you the highest quality updates as quickly as possible, we usually keep on tweaking and testing right up until the moment before release, so, sometimes, things change or take a bit longer than expected. We aren’t afraid to change our plan if necessary, as we will never launch an update before it is ready.</p>

| |
| − | ''{{date|17|August|2010}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>Hello hunters!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>The mysterious island that has slowly been floating towards the Rodentia region now holds a new hunting location for Lord and Lady MouseHunters: the Seasonal Garden!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>To access the island, you'll first have to find a way past Zugzwang's pet octopus, Bubbles, who is very protective of the island and will grant safe passage only to his master. Finding an article of clothing that once belonged to Zugzwang may be the key to getting past him. One of Zugzwang's favourite pastimes was researching the rare and dangerous mice of the Tribal Isles, so try starting your search there.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>The Seasonal Garden is enchanted by Zugzwang's Magic, making it a hunting area like no other. In this garden, the season, and types of mice you can catch, change every few days. Upon entering the garden you'll notice a new element on your heads-up display indicating the current season in the garden, along with a stat called your "Tower Amplifier". The amplifier is a power bonus that is applied to your trap when you hunt inside Zugzwang's Tower. Catching mice in the Seasonal Garden will increase your amplifier in different increments, depending on the type of mouse you catch. Failing to attract a mouse will cause some of your amplifier's charge to be lost.</p>

| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>The opening of the garden is only the beginning! Inside Zugzwang's Tower are two teams of mice, trapped in a never- ending game of chess. Before hunters can intervene in this game, they'll need to gain access to the tower by finding a key that's hidden somewhere in the garden.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Larry suspects it may take hunters some time to discover the key and gain access to the tower. Keep your eyes on the news section for more details about the tower once hunters get closer to discovering the key.</p>

| − | | + | ''For older updates, visit the [[MHWiki:Current events/Archive|Archive]].'' |
| − | <p>A trap effectiveness statistic has been added under your trap on the camp page. Your effectiveness rating is determined by your ability to both attract and catch a mouse in your current location, with your current trap setup. The effectiveness of your trap is gauged as mild, medium or strong.</p>
| + | <onlyinclude> |
| − | | + | === [{{MHdomain}}/newspost.php?news_post_id=855 The King's Giveaway!] === |
| − | <p>Clicking the effectiveness rating will open a dialog box displaying all the mice inhabiting your current location. Each mouse will display its difficulty rating, as well as a visual bar representing its difficulty rating. The difficulty ratings of specific mice are determined by your current trap's ability to catch that mouse, should you attract it.</p>
| + | ''{{date|18|June|2024}}'' |

| |
| − | ''{{date|10|August|2010}}''
| |
| | <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| − | <p>We have updated the mice page, and added a new type of achievement -- King's Crowns!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>These trophy crowns are awarded to hunters upon capturing a breed of mouse 10, 100 and 500 times. You can view the crowns you have collected both on the Mice page and your profile. Your current number of catches appears beside the crown, so you can easily see how close you are to the next one!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>We also added indicators to the Mice page to tell you how many mice from a specific group or region you have caught. A green check mark appears beside the group or region upon catching them all, a bronze check mark upon catching each mouse 10 times, and silver at 100 and gold at 500. This should allow hunters, at a glance, to see what breeds they have yet to catch, and what regions they have yet to master!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Power type effectiveness has been added to the mouse popups to let hunters see what power type is best against a particular mouse.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We're still working on a few more updates to mouse viewing including:
| |
| − | * High res mouse images
| |
| − | * Global catch numbers
| |
| − | * A Trap effectiveness bar on the camp page
| |
| − | * If you have caught an event mice in a region, your regional total may state that you caught more mice than are currently available in the region (example: 55 out of 33). We're working on removing event mice from these totals.

| − | <p>'''And now, some news about Zugzwang's Tower:'''</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>As many keen MouseHunters have no doubt already noticed, Zugzwang's Tower has been spotted in Rodentia! Unfortunately, Zugzwang's pet octopus, Bubbles, is quite protective of its master, and is preventing any ship from approaching the tower. In a future update, hunters will have to find a way to coerce the aquatic beast into letting them sail toward the tower.</p>
| + | '''The King's Vault is Open!''' |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Although no hunter has been able to land yet, some details have been collected from ship wreckage floating past the S.S. Huntington II. What little details are now known about the tower and island have been added to the mouse page. Check out the Seasonal Soldiers and Wizard's Pieces mouse groups to see what strange mice will await hunters who reach the tower!</p>
| + | Open prize packs and gain access to the King's Vault filled with goodies! |
| | | | |
| − | <hr />
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>'''Also in this update:'''</p>
| + | ==== The King's Giveaway has BEGUN! ==== |
| | + | The gilded gates protecting the King's Royal Treasure Vault have been opened and the King's Giveaway has begun! |
| | | | |
| − | * We made some optimizations to the hunt timer for players on slower computers.
| + | From now until '''July 2''', the Treasurer, Snooty, High Roller, Mobster, and Leprechaun mice will be encountered more frequently everywhere in the Kingdom! |
| − | * "Rare Breeds" has been changed to "Event Breeds" on profile pages and the Black Widow now counts towards "Breeds Caught".
| |
| − | * Added a small chance to receive scrap metal when capturing a Steel Mouse using the Digby Drillbot or the Chrome Drillbot.
| |
| − | * The friends online tab on the camp page now only loads your friends when the tab is clicked. This should speed up the load time of the camp page for players with thousands of friends.
| |
| | | | |
| − | -- {{MHP|502041253|Dave Vanderburg}}
| + | During the giveaway, each time you attract a mouse, you'll have a chance to attract a prize mouse as a '''bonus hunt''' which does not consume any cheese or charms and will appear as an additional hunt in your Hunter's Journal. |

| − | ''{{date|30|July|2010}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote> | |
| − | <p>For the past several weeks, Jacob has been busy preparing the artwork for the launch of Zugzwang's Tower. By popular demand, we're releasing a teaser of what's to come.</p> | |
| | | | |
| − | <p>We've also noticed the community's frustration in the lack of areas for players ranked above Knight. Zugzwang's Tower was initially designed for Heroes; not quite complex enough to challenge higher ranks. However, as the area became finalized and early play-testing began, it turned out to be more challenging than we thought!</p>
| + | ==== King's Prize Keys and The Vault ==== |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Due to the abundant feedback asking for higher ranked areas, combined with how this new area turned out during play-testing, we have decided it is best suited with the title requirement of Lord/Lady.</p>
| + | The greedy prize mice have snatched up '''ALL''' the keys this year! Only prize mice will drop King's Prize Keys but they will always drop at least one! Use these keys to open 10 Mystery Prize Packs from your Hunter's Camp. These packs contain all sorts of goodies such as Gold, Regal Charms, King's Credits and SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>We still want to add an additional Hero area to the game; an alternative to the Jungle of Dread approach. But unfortunately it won't be this one.</p>
| + | Once you've opened 10 Mystery Prize Packs, the King will allow you to peek into the vault and select one of three randomly offered, highly valuable prizes! Once a prize has been selected from the vault, the door will slam shut and the prizes will reset. You may visit the vault every time you open 10 prize packs! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>This change of plan brings about a couple questions for the community:</p> | + | <div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0"> |
| | + | <div style="font-size: 115%>'''The King's Vault will close on July 9.'''<br> |
| | + | Once the giveaway ends, any King's Prize Keys in your inventory will be removed, so make sure to use them up! |
| | + | </div></div> |
| | | | |
| − | * How do you feel about releasing teasers like this more often?
| |
| − | * How much detail about new areas should we release ahead of time?
| |
| − | * Should details released ahead of time be set in stone, or should content still in development be open to the suggestions of the community?
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>We welcome your input, and any other feedback, via the forums or by contacting support.</p>
| + | ==== Prized Items ==== |
| | + | Capturing a Treasurer, Snooty, or High Roller Mouse will reward you with King's Credits which you can spend at the King's Arms or King's Cart for equipment to help you in a wide range of hunting endeavours. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>And finally, here's a sneak peek at some of the artwork for Zugzwang's Tower!</p> | + | Capturing a Mobster Mouse will reward you with SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ in quantities of 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500, or even 1,000! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>[http://i29.tinypic.com/2mybt36.jpg]</p> | + | Considered some of the most rare items in the Kingdom are the Mystery Pot of Gold and Mystery Satchel of Gold dropped by the extremely rare and elusive '''Leprechaun Mouse'''. Should you have the extraordinary luck of not only encountering but also capturing a Leprechaun Mouse it will most often drop a Mystery Satchel of Gold containing a generous quantity of Gold along with SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ and charms. On more rare occasions, the Leprechaun will drop a Mystery Pot of Gold which contains even more SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ and the chance of a cash prize! |

Under the 'Friends Online' tab, each section of friends has been limited to 18, with a "see more" link appearing should you have more than 18 friends in that location.

| − | <p>As you already know, we have had issues with FB credits once we re-instated it in MouseHunt V3. There are a chunk of users who have donated through FB credits that did not receive what they donated for before we implemented the fix which has corrected the issue for all future donations.</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Thousands of support requests have come through and we have developed an automated process that is going through and completing these donations that did not end up getting processed.</p> | + | ==== Royal Deals ==== |
| | + | To celebrate the King's Giveaway, the King is offering royal deals on the most popular cheese in the Kingdom: SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>By the end of today, anyone who had any donations through FB credits that did take their credits but not award them properly should have everything sorted out.</p>
| + | Until the end of the giveaway, some of the most popular bundles of SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ are on sale with savings ranging from 10% all the way to 25% off. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Due to the mass amounts of support tickets generated by this we will unfortunately not be able to respond personally to every ticket so we made this announcement to inform you that it will be getting corrected.</p> | + | Additionally, the King has put together some marvelous bundles, offering up the very best of his royal stash of Regal Charms and SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+, along with some Prize Keys to exchange towards a King's Vault prize, for a bargain! |

| − | === Problems with Facebook Credits === | + | ==== A Reminder About Bonus Hunts ==== |
| − | ''{{date|21|July|2010}}''
| + | Bonus hunts do not affect area progression, consume cheese or charms, or trigger special hunting effects and abilities. This means bonus hunts will not do things such as move your submarine forward in the Sunken City, advance your position in the Valour Rift, affect rage levels in Whisker Woods Rift, etc. |

| |
| − | <p>Hey hunters!</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>We have recently noticed some players' donations using Facebook Credits not resulting in SUPER|brie+ being added to their inventory. We're looking into why these donations do not always go through.</p>
| + | The "special" bonuses '''specifically''' provided by your trap, base, charm, and aura(s) (not area bonuses like the Furoma Rift Droid) are taken into account as expected when encountering a mouse on a bonus hunt. |
| − | | |
| − | <p>If you have recently used Facebook Credits and did not receive any SUPER|brie+ please use the [http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/donationhelp.php Donation Support] link at the bottom of the game. If you do not know your order ID, please enter "n/a" or "none".</p>

| − | <p>We're in the process of upgrading our support tools to better look up these transactions. In the meantime, we have temporarily disabled Facebook Credits. Thanks for your patience while we get these tools built so we can better help those who have had a problem.</p>

| − | === MH Toolbar ===
| |
| − | ''{{date|18|July|2010}}'' | |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>Hello fellow MouseHunters,</p>
| |
| − | <p>As some of you may or may not know, the toolbar has been made available for download and is circulating through the boards. We will be doing an official release of the toolbar very shortly with a supported link available through the MouseHunt HUD with its own page containing detailed installation instructions and further information about it.</p>
| |
| − | <p>For those who currently have it installed, here are some "ReadMe's" regarding the MouseHunt Toolbar:</p>
| |
| − | ==== Supported Browsers: ====
| |
| − | <p>Currently the MouseHunt Toolbar is only supported on stable versions of:
| |
| − | *Internet Explorer 7+
| |
| − | *FireFox 2+
| |
| − | *Safari 5 on Mac</p>
| |
| − | <p>Unfortunately the Conduit company, which is the platform/foundation of the MH toolbar, currently does not support the Chrome browser. However, it is a browser they are looking into supporting in the near future.</p>
| |
| − | ==== Technical Issues: ====
| |
| − | <p>If you are experiencing any technical issues (ie: stats not loading, broken images, not receiving SP)</p>
| |
| − | <p>You can try performing the following to solve these issues:</p>
| |
| − | <p>1.) Clear your cache
| |
| − | *[http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/using/howto/customizing/clearcache.mspx Internet Explorer Instructions]
| |
| − | *[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Clear+Recent+History#Clearing_your_history Fire Fox Instructions]
| |
| − | *[http://support.verio.com/documents/view_article.cfm?doc_id=4069 Safari Instructions]</p>
| |
| − | <p>2.) Refresh your toolbar</p>
| |
| − | <p>Instructions: looking at the toolbar from the left hand side you'll see the MouseHunt logo. Next to the MouseHunt logo there is small down shaped arrow. Click on the small down shaped arrow and a drop down box/window will appear. From there, click on "Refresh Toolbar".</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== 10 SuperBrie+ reward for installation: ====
| |
| − | <p>Once you install the toolbar, you need to log in from the toolbar and do at least one hunt with it to register that you are indeed using the toolbar and have completed the installation of it. This "should" take approximately 30 minutes max but it has been taking longer to sync up with some users. If you have not received the bonus within 48 hours you may contact support.</p>
| |
| − | <p>*** There will be a journal entry added to your journal once the SuperBrie+ is awarded to you through the toolbar. ***</p>
| |
| − | <p>Bugs:
| |
| − | We are currently looking into all reported bugs from the MH boards. In addition, we are looking into a better solution for users receiving their 10 SuperBrie+ reward in a shorter time span.</p>
| |
| − | <p>Other notes:
| |
| − | * You currently do not get SB+ from doing searches.
| |
| − | * You can only get the 10 SB+ reward once. If you uninstall it and re-install it again you will not be rewarded again.</p>

| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>To celebrate our partnership with Cherry Credits and the launch of MouseHunt Cherry Credit Cards in South-East Asia, a new Cherry Mouse has been added to the Calm Clearing in Whisker Woods!</p>
| |
| − | <p>The Cherry Mouse is attracted to the sweet smell of Cherry Cheese, which can be made by potions collected in the Calm Clearing. Cherry Cheese will not only attract the Cherry Mouse but also attract some of the stronger, more valuable mice in the clearing. Make sure your trap is up for the challenge!</p>
| |
| − | <p>We have also optimized the new hunt timer to fix a problem that was causing it to run quickly, making the horn to appear early. The timer should now be accurate on low-end computers as well.</p>
| |
| − | <p>Based on player feedback, we have made the live stream on the camp page only load when the tab is clicked on to view it. The stream will also "unload" when the trap setup or friends tab is clicked. This should make the camp page less strenuous on non-broadband users.</p>
| |
| − | <hr/>
| |
| − | <p>Also in this update:</p>
| |
| − | <p>- We corrected a bug preventing hunters from crafting the S.S. Huntington II if they had more than 1 Ship Blueprint in their inventory.</p>
| |
| − | <p>- The SUPER|brie+ Gift Basket now provides the Lucky Golden Shield to the opener of the basket for one month.</p>
| |
| − | <p>- Shield lengths have been added to the descriptions of SUPER|brie+ packages in the donate pop-up.</p>
| |
| − | <p>- Various typos in traps/mice have been corrected.</p>

| + | __NOTOC__ |
| − | ''{{date|13|July|2010}}''
| + | __NOEDITSECTION__ |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>Hello MouseHunters! As you have most likely noticed a "next hunt" timer has been added to the heads up display. The timer is accurate to the minute, and is intended to promote healthy competition between your hunting party members by tracking who is the first to sound the horn and score the extra bonus points.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Some extra features have also been added to the camp page to help hunters check which members of their hunting party are online in their location, as well as allowing them to communicate with friends more easily. Seeing where all your friends are at a glance, should prove to be an easy way to decide where the best place to hunt may be. Since the look of these tabs has yet to be polished, we'll be adjusting the look and layout of the new tabs based on player feedback.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>We knew the transition from MH v2 to "Longtail" would be a bit of a bumpy ride. With the help of the MouseHunt Community, we've been keeping a close eye on any small problems, trying to spot areas where Glitchpaw Mice may be causing trouble. We've managed to catch the majority of Glitchpaws, and now we need your help to capture the few that remain. We've scattered Glitchpaw Mice around the Kingdom, and they have unique drops in each area they inhabit. Occasionally, they may also require a special hunting strategy. Good luck tracking them down. They're out for a limited time only!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Finally, one more new mouse has been added to the Gnawnia region. The Spotted mouse enjoys the fresh air and sunshine of the Meadow, but its love of travel means it can occasionally be "spotted" in other areas as well.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Good luck, and happy hunting!</p>

| − | * Title requirement for the King's Gauntlet has been increased to Initiate.
| |
| − | * Larry is no longer speechless in the Windmill, and has a few tips for Apprentice MouseHunters.
| |
| − | * Friends online is now working.
| |
| − | * The journal entry Hunters receive upon changing titles has been revamped to include a list of what new abilities/locations the hunter has gained access to.
| |
| − | * A bug preventing mice from weighing over 12oz has been corrected.
| |
| − | * An error image has been added if a browser plugin/script is preventing the King's Reward code image from being displayed.
| |
| − | * Based on feedback, the max inventory quantity for Ship Blueprints has been reduced to one, as it was in MH v2.
| |
| − | * The Silth mouse was overly weak to tactical traps. It has been changed back to its v2 stats, making a hydro trap the best choice.
| |
| − | * Some minor typos were have been corrected in cheese descriptions.
| |
| − | * Added a "Meet and Greet" board to the forums page.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <hr />
| |

| − | <p>'''What we're working on next:'''</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Final testing of the Toolbar is underway, so look for it very soon.
| |
| − | * To celebrate our partnership with Cherry Credits and the launch of the new MouseHunt cards, a new Cherry Mouse is coming to Whisker Woods.
| |
| − | * Improving the look of the MH profile tab.
| |
| − | * SUPER|brie+ raffles.
| |
| − | * Improving the look of the new camp page tabs.
| |
| − | * Global mouse stats.
| |
| − | * Mouse group stats (eg: 4/26 caught).
| |
| − | * Trap effectiveness messages/bar.
| |
| − | * Display of individual mouse weaknesses. A few "boss" mice in the game (Silth, Acolyte, Dragon) have slightly different optimal setups than the other mice in their group. We're experimenting with how to best communicate these exceptions.
| |
| − | * Mouse badges and accomplishments
| |
| − | * A brand new story line to introduce two new areas for heros, including Zugzwang's Tower. New traps, mice and two brand new types of gameplay.

| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Choose your strategy carefully hunters! The Eclipse is an extremely powerful mouse and only has one notable weakness. Although it is possible to capture the Eclipse using any power type, discovering its true weakness will make for an almost guaranteed catch.</p>

| − | | |
| − | <p>Congratulations to any hunter that has made it this far -- You have proven to be well equipped with a variety of traps and a sense of patience that is vital to any successful hunter. The journey to the top of the King's Gauntlet has been a long one, needing equipment gathered from across the entire map. Capturing an Eclipse is a sign of a seasoned hunter, who has mastered nearly every region within the game.</p>
