Wondrous new zones full of mystery and beauty, rousing story-driven quests which twist and turn and are not for the faint of heart, an abundance of sleek new mobile features and improvements, and the introduction of a whole new gameplay mechanic are but a few of the exciting new elements which await in, Wrath of the Black Thrush! [h1][b]BRAVE THE DUNGEONS![/b][/h1] With the release of the latest chapter in the Black Thrush storyline, we are thrilled to announce the introduction of an all new gameplay mechanic to Villagers & Heroes: repeatable group content in the form of dungeons! [img]https://i.imgur.com/CFL91aP.jpg[/img] That’s right! Gather your friends and neighbors, and gather them well, for these grueling dungeons, which offer lavish daily rewards, cannot be soloed, but instead will require true teamwork. Group content means just that - well thought out teams comprised of the different classes and bolstered by the attributes of each are necessary for success! Patterned after specific zones in the new Black Thrush content and named ‘Heroic’ to differentiate them from those normal zones, the portals to the first three dungeons will be accessible upon completion of each version of the ‘regular’ zone. Once a player has completed the quests and defeated the bounties in the ‘regular’ version of the zone, the Heroic Dungeon portal version of that zone will then become accessible forever after to players, even after rebirths. And just what do these exciting Heroic Dungeons have to offer players? So much! [list] [*][b]Fabulous rewards![/b] Powerful armaments and large amounts of gold and experience are awarded upon completion of Dungeon quests. [*][b]Unlimited gameplay![/b] Dungeons can be repeated any number of times per day, giving equally good rewards each time. [*][b]A ticking clock![/b] Dungeons have a timed component: the faster a group completes the dungeon, the better the rewards. A group can earn Gold Tier, Silver Tier, Bronze Tier, or No Tier. (But even a ‘No Tier’ will still offer great rewards!) [*][b]Diversity of accolades![/b] Each of the three dungeons upon launch will reward from a different pool of armament slots, enabling players to carefully choose which dungeons they’d prefer to do. [*][b]Bonus rewards![/b] The first time completing a dungeon during a week will grant players special bonus rewards. [*][b]Repeatable quests![/b] Each dungeon will offer a main repeatable quest, which require such objectives as killing powerful enemies and bosses. Upon completion, an NPC will appear at the end of the zone for players to turn their quest in to.
