The ground trembles as the sky lights up, the Godking statue to the north glows brighter. Change is occurring in the world of Ignus and a hero must be summoned…
We are excited to announce Citadel: The Godking’s Vengeance, a massive free update coming to Citadel on early to mid March on consoles!
Help Gembok, one of the last living Priests of Neshan as he investigates sudden and mysterious changes throughout the land. Step into the world, unravel deep mysteries and meet legends of Ignus who have devoted their lives to solving ancient mysteries.
The Godking’s Vengeance is part one of two huge expansions coming to the base Citadel game. In this update, players can choose to embark on a hero’s journey spanning the entire game, with quests and storylines starting at level one, all the way through to level sixty.
Part two of this update will launch later this year and feature the epic conclusion to our story along with new features, structures and new deadly creatures throughout the world.
Quest Preview: Meet Stavro, you’ll quickly learn he’s got quite an appetite.
Check out the complete features list below to see what’s coming next week:
New Quests System
All new robust quest and narrative system, guiding players from very early to late game including:
Brand new FTUE overhaul
Main quest and storyline
Tons of narrative based side quests
Quest Journal
The quest system has been improved to provide a more immersive and enjoyable experience using cleaner UX and UI presentation, more interesting quest giver interactions and an intuitive journal system to help you track quests and overall progress.
Event Log
The Event Log notifies players of important events such as raids that have occurred, if their creatures were attacked or killed, and much more. The log is designed to help players better understand what has happened in the world.
Item Dyes System
Craft or collect dozens of colored dyes and apply them to your clothing, armor and weapons. Customize your items and personalize them to your liking.
Creature Dyes System
Add color to your tamed creatures as you see fit.
Quest Preview: Feltrie’s affinity for luxury is derived from her ancestry.
Time of Day Raid Protection
For PvP servers only; raiding is now time locked between the hours of 6PM and 11PM on weekdays, and 11AM to 11PM on weekends. Your siege equipped spells will no longer deal damage to structures outside of these hours.
Raiding Rebalance
Citadel’s spell-based siege system relies on two important variables: spell damage and siege energy, or more simply, the amount of casts the player can perform before the spell runs out. AOE siege spells have had a reduction in siege energy to better consider the fact that they deal damage over an area.
Creature Loot Generation
Tamed creatures will now passively generate contextually-relevant items in their inventories for their owners to loot. This happens automatically as long as the creature remains tamed.
Structure Counter
The Structure Counter is a convenience feature to let players know if they can, or cannot build any additional structures in their current region.
Tons of Exploit Fixes
Several exploitable areas of the terrain have received blocking or no-build zones to prevent players from abusing these regions. In addition, some players have reported various gameplay exploits which have now been fixed.
We have also included all the 02/13/2020 – QOL Improvements & Bug Fixes patch. There are a lot of fixes and updates but rest assured things are getting better!
