 Beleen | September 27, 2011 Time Travel this Thursday!Be the first to witness the future of Pleasanton and score some Ultra Rare time traveling swag.After meeting the panicked Pleasanton citizen in Overlook Towers, you fled to the city’s cries for help—whether it was to assist those in need, or to cash in on some golden Fame. You effortlessly took out Time Sentinel after Time Sentinel, and in the process, built your own bot and learned the Sentinel’s prime directive: to collect enough Antimatter to power Clock Blocker’s destructive Time Reaper!
Despite your best efforts, Clock Blocker succeeded in the first phase of his Antimatter collection, and you battled the Antimatter Essence that the Mechanism formed. Upon its defeat, the Antimatter Essence told you that it can take you far into the future of Pleasanton. And come Thursday, the bravest of Members will have the chance to travel 500 years into Pleasanton’s future and witness the demise in which the Clock Blocker hails from… Spoiler Alert!Seeing into the future has its advantages. And some pretty nice sneak-peeks, too. I am going to share with you some things you can expect to see when your take your adventures to future Pleasanton.
This is a snapshot of what Pleasanton looks like 500 years from now. What has happened to this once quaint town? Where is that old lady feeding blue jays? And what’s up with that brown blocker rectangle coded into the map that Yergen forgot to take out!?!? OH THE HORROR! But it gets worse. Much worse. The Oblivion have taken over future Pleasanton. They have enslaved the Human race. Oblivion Scouts ruthlessly patrol the streets. And your only hope of getting back to present day existence is by building your own Antimatter Mechanism and defeating the Antimatter being that it forms! There is some good on the horizon, though. A unique Shop will be available that allows you to merge present-day items with Oblivion Technology, resulting in bigger, badder, and awesomer versions. In order to forge these new weapons, helms, and armors, you will have to collect enough Oblivion Technology—and they aren’t going to hand it over without a fight. Oblivion Powers can also be learned from this Shop… but they too will come at a hefty price. As I mentioned earlier on, this special area is for Members Only. It’s our way of saying “Thank You for supporting the game!” With the help and support from our Members, HeroSmash remains free-to-play for everyone to enjoy, and we could not have done it without our super friends! So thank you to everyone who helps support HeroSmash by being a Member, stocking up on SmashCoins, equiping the HeroSmash T-Shirt IRL, and by continuing to explore and grow with us =D! The exclusive Future Pleasanton area is the least we can do to show our thanks! …although, sending you headstrong into a future overrun with Oblivion isn’t the most conventional way of saying “thank you”… And since we’re on the subject of Time Travel… Is there a Doctor in the house?Your favorite time traveling science fiction British TV program will be hitting the big screen at the Mega Movie Plex on Thursday! This popular show features an alien doctor who has the ability to travel through space and time. This doctor has traveled so much that he’s forgotten his name—along with the show’s title! Was it Doctor What? Doctor When? Doctor Huh? Doctor Whom? Who knows!
For those of you who know what I’m talking about—FANTASTIC! You’ll love this parody release full of your favorite Doctor Whateverhisnameis loot! And for those of you who don’t have a clue… you can still enjoy the shop full of time traveler Ultra Rares that will only be offered for a limited time. Well, would you look at that. A time traveler having limited time. Now that’s ironic! Today’s Player Suggestion!There are only 3 days left of the 30 Days of Suggestions! And today we are releasing the Shield of the Avenged, inspired by our fellow player Shadowlord9k!
Arm yourself for your heroic triumphs or villainous conquests with this shield, available at both the HeroSpire and SkullDeep kiosks for 23 DTs. Good luck on those minigames, sharp shooter!
| Beleen | September 06, 2011 Day Five...Six...Seven of SuggestionsTime flies when you’re having CON!Can you believe it’s already Tuesday?! Since this past weekend was DragonCon, and yesterday was a federal holiday in the States (meaning no work for us!), we haven’t had a chance to post some Design Notes ‘til right now. So let me fill you in on what’s been released and what’s to come! This past Friday, two new Player Suggested items were released in the DTU Kiosks: Fiery Wrath and Bitter Cold, inspired by your fellow player SuperB Soldier.
Today, the rockin’ color custom Electric Guitar, inspired by Skalybur, and the color custom Shades of Vanguish created by Black Hood are available in both the Herospire and Shadowfall* Kiosks.
Get yer mits on these player suggested items—and more!—by completing the Kiosks’ missions! Make sure you accept the missions before playing the minigames or else you won’t get awarded DTs…and thus, you won’t be able to buy the items in the Kiosk shop! Dia da IndependênciaTomorrow is the Independence Day of Brazil! And in order to celebrate, Zheenx has created some super awesome Brazilian gear for this special event. Log in tomorrow to score Brazilian themed items that will only be offered during this special time of year! Obrigado Brazil! The Future of HeroSmashThere’s A LOT in store for HeroSmash’s future. And I mean A LOT—trust me, ‘cuz I’m in charge of writing EVERYTHING down that Yergen, Dumoose, Thyton, Llussion, and Jemini throw my way! O___O Quickly! Someone give my hands a +20 Agility buff! I am not sure of what I’m allowed to reveal, and what I’m supposed to keep a secret, but as you all know, I LOVE giving out spoilers, and that’s exactly what I intend on doing =D Right now, me and your friendly HeroSmash team are working on:
Have I said too much? Probably. I’m sure I’ll get a frantic IM from Dumoose within a few minutes saying that I’ve said waaay too much and that nothing is set in stone…blah blah blah. Yes, yes, none of this is FOR SURE going to happen, but we ARE working on all of the above, and as such, I think you have a right to know what the future of HeroSmash looks like! And it’s looking pretty super awesome if you ask me! Alrighty folks—I gatta get back to work. As you can see, there’s a lot for me to be working on, and the quicker I finish them (erm…or start them, rather), the sooner you and your friends can play through it! In the meantime, Smash On my friends! *And by Shadowfall, I really mean Skulldeep. Skulldeep is in HeroSmash, Shadowfall is in AQW. Heheehe, whoopsies! See what happens when you spend 2 years in Lore? ^____^
