The planned start of the Askara will take place on
16 June 2022 at 18:00 CEST and will be hosted in Europe with amazing proxies for US and BR players.
Since the last Askara start, we have been working a lot on improving the game play and we have added several of features, which we would love to describe here;
Stackable Runes and Mana Fluids
Runes and Potions will become stackable.
Auto Loot
Once you have set up your loot containers, all items that you loot via the fast loot feature are going to be automatically sorted into these loot containers. Items that belong to unassigned categories are going to be sent to the default container. Please get in mind, that only premium account players are able to setup their containers, free account players are still able to use Fast Looting feature, however all loot is going to be moved to the default container regardless of their settings.
Activities Tracker
It's a built-in client widget which tells you how long you have to wait until you may repeat several activities such as challenge Daily bosses, Warzone bosses and additionally: if you can do Dungeon, use Death redemption or how many Downgrade Item protections you have left.
Task Manager
You will no longer need to walk to specified NPC to take a task. You will be able to begin a task by a specially created module (you have to be in PZ zone). Also, you will be able to choose the amount of monsters to be killed between 1 and 1000, while 1000 is maximum amount you may do in total - that means you may take for example 10x 100 monster count or just 1x 1000.
Custom Monsters Balance
We have been receiving a lot of feedback that some of our custom monsters we made are not balanced as well as the original ones. We took a more in depth look at them (just to be sure, this is hours and hours of testing!) and did some changes to make these more balanced.
There are also optional features on our server that you may turn on or off depending on your preferences at any time;
Shaders
A well known feature being activated whilst having at least 4 items upgraded to level +7. As we have seen a positive reception we decided to add few more Shaders so you may look even more phenomenal. However, we have opted out to grant Shaders for +7 items and currently, these are obtainable only from our Game Store. Please get in mind that some of the older GPUs may not handle some Shaders, so these may be not visible. However, we are aware that there are also players who don't like changes such as this - for these players, we have added a special option to the Game client which will let them turn off visibility of Shaders. If you wish to disable this feature go to Options and uncheck position
Display player shaders.
Auras
It's cosmetic accessory for your outfit which may make your characters to stand out even more. Same as Shaders, you may turn off visibility of it by special option in our Game client. If you wish to disable this feature go to Options and uncheck position
Display player auras.
Spells Emote
It's a feature that allows you to display spell texts as Emote text, so you won't have spam on your game client anymore we have been receiving a lot of feedback to add such feature, so there you go. If you wish to disable this feature go to Options and uncheck position
Display emote spells.
Don't worry, these
features can be hidden! We understand some of our players or perhaps the old school community may not like these new graphic features. So that everyone can continue to enjoy our optimized server please check the steps above which give you the option to remove the display of the Optional Features.
Disablement of Prey System
This change we believe will be welcomed by a large amount of our community, a decision we have not taken lightly. Our team have put hours and days of research into the effect of preys and its impact on you as a player. With this huge change we are looking to really engage with our community and REMOVE the prey system for this edition - something we will then be able to review in the future.
From years and years of experience we understand your feedback is extremely important and shapes the way we design our game play - we have listened again and look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Full HD Graphics
This is one of the teams most exciting new projects, one that has been in the pipeline for a long time and is finally ready to share with you. We pride ourselves on being the very best at what we do and continue to think of innovative ways to improve and reach perfection - this change takes us one step further to this level.
For the first time ever you will now have the ability to enable "HD Graphics" when logging into Askara, and trust us when we say the differences are incredible! Only when you compare the current standard of game play to this sharp, new look will you fully notice the awesome changes in detail! We can't wait to see your feedback!
Market System
As you can see, we are actively developing Askara behind the scenes every single day and we are now pleased to bring you a fully operational Market System.
You will now be able to buy and sell all of your items on this impressive system creating the opportunity to make faster trading and offload your loot much quicker.
Multiple Depots
Yet another smart update brand new to this edition, Multiple Depots. You will now be able to open your "locker" from the depot in every city and browse any depot from across the map.
BRAND NEW - In Game Wikipedia
After carrying out a survey of our most frequently asked questions one of the top ranking projects on our list for yet another huge update was to create a user friendly, In Game Wikipedia.
At the beginning players are always hard competing to get the best possible start so we have some exciting opportunities to grant a few lucky winners with some prizes. We have prepared several competitions including a
Facebook Contest from which you can win premium points packages and use them in our in-game store.
We would also like to invite you to our discord server
https://discord.gg/GCQRhZN, where you can talk with the entire support, propose your changes, conduct discussions and look for companions to play together!
Prepare yourselves, the new world
Askara is coming.
