Version 2.17

Howdy Cowboys,

Today we will have some planned downtime to install the newest updates for The West.

This update includes the following changes:

• Duelling changes as discussed in this thread.
  They include:
  • Duelling levels will be capped at four hundred and fifty
  • Losing a duel will deduct a third of the duel experience you would have gained for winning
  • Active characters with no duel initiated in the past forty five days will lose 1% of their current duel experience each week
  • Duel motivation will never fall below 1%
  • Job knockouts will no longer afford duel protection

• Valentines Day event

• Bugfixes
  • A tutorial text regarding "xxxxxxxxxxxxx" has been optimised and shortened.
  • Sometimes "0" of a certain product were required for building the travelling fair
  • The Christmas Spirit achievement couldn't be completed
  • Achievement "Pony Express" couldn't be completed
  • Raven and hour glass of the new Christmas set are now auctionable and the hour glass is now sellable
  • A couple more smaller bugfixes

The Valentines Day event will start in the second week of February. We will inform you all about this soon.

Regards,

The West Team.

A small update (thanks Tormented requiem)

• Duel protection will be extended to seventy two hours.
  • If you are knocked out in a duel, other players will not be able to challenge you for 72 hours instead of 48 hours.

• Duel protection will be cancellable after twenty four hours by challenging another player at a reduced cost.
  • Once the first 24 hours of your duel protection has elapsed, targets will reappear in the duel menu and be available to challenge. Challenging a target costs only 1 energy point instead of 12 and cancels your duel protection immediately, allowing other players to duel you in return.

Any questions regarding this change? Please post them here

Howdy Cowboys.

One more small adjustment that I forgot to mention:

• The duelling motivation cannot drop beneath 3% anymore (Instead of the 1% we announced earlier).

Regards,

The West Team
