[From a forum post by Starr “Darkstarr” Long]
Avatars,
Please read this entire message, as well as the linked Player Guide and Known Issues.
Release 68 of Shroud of the Avatar goes live this Thursday, July 25, at 10:30 AM US Central Time (15:30 UTC). Release 68 includes lots of exciting updates including Crafting Masteries, a new quest in New Brittany Graveyard, Mannequins, more Top Tier Tameable Creatures, extended display for Fishing Trophies, Combat Balance, and more!
As mentioned in the Release 67 post we have been transitioning our development to a continuous integration model of development where we are pushing content out weekly, sometimes even daily. This of course disrupts the concept of a regular monthly update and is why you will see many items below with tags like “This was patched into Release 67.” This also means we will no longer be releasing a Quarterly Schedule Update because our schedule is so flexible that it no longer makes sense to present that forecast when so many things are changing on a constant basis. Read more…
The Release 68 Livestream is set for Friday July 26! All Avatars from around the world are welcome to join us in the livestream activities. We will be having a Crafting deep dive, answering questions, and handing out prizes. We will also be having a Lava Fishing Contest to celebrate the extra decimal place being displayed on trophy fish that we added for Release 68! For Release 68 the exclusive monthly rewards are Lord British themed!
LIVESTREAM SCHEDULE (Central Time Zone)
Monthly livestreams are on Twitch and include answers to your gameplay questions, deep dives, prize giveaways, and more! Here is the schedule:
To participate in the Lava Fishing Contest go to Oracle Colossus and start fishing at 4:15 PM (you can also try whispering one of the devs for a teleport). The best trophy fish (longest) caught by 5 PM will win a prize! NOTE: We will be verifying location and time!
Lord British’s birthday was July 4th so we decided to make the Rewards Program items for Release 68 be Lord British themed in his honor! Reward Program members will receive these exclusive items immediately upon logging in during Release 68 (starting July 25)!
