Dear axe-throwers, it is time for the first balancing changes to the event with the next game update. Thank you everyone, especially regarding the Rune balancing. We hope you like the following changes:

Daily Challenges

We decided to remove the Runes as possible rewards, as they caused frustration for you and caused a bug. It will now provide more Viking Coins as well.

Daily Tasks

The general difficulty has been reduced. This includes the following changes:
  • Having to collect x specific rarity rewards from the wheel has been changed to any rarity, so you just have to spin the wheel.
  • Rebalance and Claim tasks have been removed from medium and hard tasks.

Rival Challenges

Many quests starting with the 13th Rival on April 11th are now easier here on beta. We will also look into making the previous tasks easier for the live servers.

Runes

One of your major discussion point, the rune limit has been adjusted. You can now collect up to 30 runes. We also reduced the runes from the Wheel (from 4 to 2) and Daily Tasks (5 to 4). This means you will not hit the limit as fast as before.
Those are all the changes for now. Lastly, we want to talk about the Viking Coins. We found out, that you used way more Viking Coins every day than we anticipated. This was because of the higher difficulty of the Rival Challenges and Daily Tasks. However handing out more coins would also result in more Grand Prize progress and rewards from the board. So we do not plan to hand out more of them. We are looking into it and possibly more changes for the live server, but more on that once they are ready. As always, let us know what you think in ⁠the feedback thread.
