Asterix & Friends Update 21 – 27.05.2014

Please note:

  • the gameserver is not available tomorrow (27.05.2014) during maintenance from 10:30 – approximately 15:30.
  • buying roman helmets is not possible from within the game, starting 0:00 CEST/GMT+2 on 27.05.2015 until end of the maintenance (10:30 – approx. 15:30)!

New features

  • You can now share your Asterix and Friends experiences with your Facebook friends.
  • Reworked brawl-screen with slicker design, which now facilitates the overall brawling experiences, as all the information needed is now on one screen.
  • Pop-up notification triggers when a brawl tournament has ended (showing you the top ranked players and your own rank)
  • Introducing the guild feature: join forces with your friends and create your own guild! Choose your name and banner layout from a vast range of graphical options. Furthermore the guild chat room makes it easy to stay connected with your friends and help each other out. (4 roles: chief, elder, warrior, villager)
  • Growl notification, when legion spawns at own/friend/guild colleague village
  • Your guild colleagues are listed in the friends section of the tournament leaderboard
  • Players you follow will be deleted from friendsmap – you will receive a mail with a player list (new friendsmap follow limit: 15 players – rest is reserved for guild members)
  • Reworked building upgrades: You now can see at a glance which building upgrade is in progress, as it is displayed over the building. This reworked feature needs some tactical thinking: choose the timing of the upgrade wisely, as resource generating buildings (such as butcher, fish market, farm, mine and co.) do not produce resources during the upgrade time and the fabrication of new items is not available when a building upgrade is in progress. (workshops: not possible to craft items or to cook dishes, druid and druid circle: not possible to brew potions). You can cancel an upgrade in progress at any time.
  • Overall number of participants in the village brawl is now displayed in the tournament ranking dialog
  • Further functionality in tournament leaderboard: send messages and follow players directly from within the leaderboard using the newly added buttons.

New Content

  • 17 new quests (repeatable and non-repeatable) especially addressing the cooking of Gaul dishes
  • One new achievement to complete and to earn Roman Helmets

Bugfixes

  • [pvp] Fixed display issue where the info “you are not ranked yet” was displayed although you were already ranked
  • [chat] Fixed several issues with chat scroll bar when resizing the chat window
  • [chat] Fixed issue where it was not possible to scroll chat content with mouse wheel
  • [chat] There was an issue with the chat command /l (for chat room list) where the online player count was not correctly displayed. We had to disable this info completely – only the list of available chat rooms is now displayed
  • [pvp] It’s no longer possible to load empty leaderboard pages
  • [chat] Usernames in combination with the chat command /w (whisper) don’t get censored anymore
  • The achievement (all tiers) where you have to conquer the farm x times is now ready for completion for anyone who has constructed the permanent outpost. User who have not constructed the outpost yet can still complete the achievement by conquering the farm many times OR by construction the perma outpost.
  • Fixed issue where it was not possible to buy a “one time roman helmets offer” (triggers sometimes with level up) – a browser pop-up blocker was preventing the user to open the roman helmet shop.
  • Fixed display issue where the brawler strength bar refilled after winning a brawl with only one brawler
  • We might have fixed the out of sync error when receiving mails while having lots of actions queued. Please inform us in case you still run into this issue.

Known issues

  • External buildings may be blocked despite the Roman camps having been defeated (could be the reason why certain quests and/or achievements cannot be completed) This issue might not be visible in the game – the game throws an error when you encounter it.
  • Statistics for brawls won and lost (as defender) not correctly displayed in statistics category tab “village brawls”. A game refresh is needed to see the correct PvP defender statistics. Same goes for the PvP achievement: win x brawls as a defender.
  • It’s not possible to store more than 20 brawl report mails (+ brawl rewards) in your inbox. Don’t forget to pick up your brawl rewards as soon as possible!
  • Constructed Outposts in Egypt and in Gaul might not display the correct amount of time left – please refresh your browser once in a while to prevent server-client syncing issues (especially when you are planning to extend the outpost time)
  • Rarely, a quest row quest (Asterix or Obelix quest rows) cannot be completed although the client is already showing the rewards. You have to complete all objectives to get the rewards (you can see the objective list in the quest portrait tooltip on the left side)
  • It’s possible that 2 legions spawn within a short period of time. We are not sure what causes this issue – any information on this might help us in our investigation.
  • One time roman helmet offer that triggers with a level up are not available in the regular roman helmet market. please start the paying process in the dialog that triggers with the level up (to get the bonus roman helmets).
  • [pvp] Tournament mails that have been sent out before live update 20 (15.04.2014) have a small spelling error in the message text (the league system did not exist back then)
  • [pvp] Tournament end reward information screen does not display the ranking position and points the players have achieved at the END of the tournament. It’s the current status, meaning the information can be different from the actual end result.
  • [chat] Sometimes, the connection to a specific chat room fails – you have to refresh the game in this case.
  • [chat] You disconnect from the chat server completely when you try to connect to a chat room that is already full. Unfortunately, the information if a chat room is full or not is not displayed in the game. You have to refresh the game to reconnect to the chat server (you get transferred automatically to a room that isn’t full yet).

Known issues GUILD

  • Guild banner, name and invitation setting changes are not immediately effective for other players or guild members. They have to wait a few minutes until the changes are visible on the friendsmap.
  • New guild members who have joined a guild are not visible on the friendsmap right away.Wait a few minutes or refresh the game to see the member on the friendsmap.
