Two new travel forms were supposed to be in Gaz's Black Friday Shop along with the Black Knight Cloak and Cyberknight Cape.
So... where are they?
One of the challenges with making a true cross platform game is this: When we add certain things to the game (like travel forms), the game client has to be updated on every platform for them to work.
Since each platform is different, one might work perfectly and get approved but another might get rejected for various reasons. Then we need to fix the issue and wait for it to be re-reviewed for approval before we can release it.
If we released he new update on some platforms and not others, it would cause all kinds of havoc, graphic issues and other bugs which is why we have to wait for EVERY platform to be ready.
The review process differs from platform to platform but it's always roughest around holidays (like Thanksgiving). Those hard working folks deserve the chance to spend some time with their families and loved ones too.
So we wait.
Even though we were able to release the Black Knight Cloak and Cybernight Cape, The plans we laid out in our video obviously won't work without the new Travel Forms.
We have decided to keep the Black Friday sale prices for the items, but instead of the previously planned 24 hours, we've decided to keep them for at least 48 hours following the release of the Travel Forms (whenever that is) to give everyone the best chance to get the sale prices during all this confusion.
We have also decided to keep the Black Knight Cloak and Cyberknight Cape sale prices in effect for as long as the Travel Form are on sale too, so ALL FOUR items will hit their normal prices at the same time.
None of these four items will be permanently rare.
The Cloak and Cape will be Black Friday seasonal rares and will return next year.
Both Red Dragon Travel Forms will stay in Gaz's Shop (at full price) until they are replaced by new items, as we plan on Gaz's shop to cycle out items on a regular basis (quarterly or possibly monthly).
The Dragon Note in Gaz's shop will be permanently rare (since you guys asked... someday, remind me to explain why AQ3D Perma-rares need to be so amazingly rare).
We will let you know here on the Design Notes, on our Official AQ3D Twitter account, our Facebook account, our Steam community page, our personal Twitters and make an IN-GAME announcement soon as the Red Dragon and Armored Red Dragon travel forms are live!
When I called Artix this morning to ask if we heard any news and talk about what we should do, he happened to be in the bath playing AQ3D on his phone (I hope it dried off his armor. Do you want rust, Artix? Because that's how you get rust).
We talked about making this into a new AE Holiday like Black Knight Friday or Waitsgiving. If we make this a running gag, what do you think we should call this holiday?
