Special events with new Stellar and Cyber skins

It is currently unknown whether this is a single event or two separate events.
In the past, the following Cyber-con and Stellar Skin Chest have been held. However, these were separate in past events, so it is unclear if there will be one set

Cyber-con

Stellar Skin Chest

Legacy of the Great Ones

Event for Nature Titans

While it’s not explicitly stated, it is likely referring to the following three events.

Riotous Growth, Rainy Season, Scorching Days

One more event which we will tell you about later!

Based on previous announcements of a winter notice, there may be a new Hero or Ascension opening event.

Important Game Updates for Players: How to Read

October’s Hero of the Month are Lian

Lian excels at influencing battle situations with her charm.
While she may not be the most powerful hero, she is easy to control and can be utilized by both beginners and advanced players.
Soul Stones can be obtained at the Grand Arena Shop, so they are not of high priority. If you are planning to open a Honorable Guardian Box, I would recommend preserving them.

Hero of the Month

Lian

This year’s Stellar Skins

It appears that Iris Sebastian Fafnir is the target hero.
The crucial point will be whether they will be offered in the Stellar Skins Chest, which was very unpopular last time!
If it is included in the Stellar Skins Chest, you will have two options: try your luck or wait for the general release. The good news is that, unlike the Beach skins, there is a precedent for the ban to be lifted!

Iris

Sebastian

Fafnir

Mysterious Island: War Flags & Patterns!

Update scheduled for release next week.
It is mentioned that it can be utilized in Arena and Guild Wars. Therefore, it is assumed to be usable in most game modes.
People who have been saving up Explorer Moves can expect to have an advantage.

Official Message

Next week, a new part of the Mysterious Island will open in Dominion Seasonal Adventure, where you can find War Flags and Patterns — special items that you can use in battles to strengthen up your teams in Arena and Guild Wars modes!
In the new part of the Mysterious Island map, you will be able to find two types of War Flags, each with a unique Ability! In addition to their unique Abilities, War Flags can hold up to three enhancements called Patterns, which, depending on their type, can boost various stats of the Heroes in your team!
You will be able to get War Flags and Patterns, as well as more details about the new features, by exploring the new part of the Mysterious Island map!

About the GDEV 2023 2Q Report

https://www.gdev.inc/press-releases/financial-results-2023-Q2

GDEV is the holding company for Nexters.
I’ve read the report and personally focused on the following points:

Hero Wars is considering a future-proof concept through rebranding.
Sales have slightly decreased, but within an acceptable range of fluctuation. Mobile version sales are down by 13%, while PC version sales have increased?
The development structure has been shifted from Russia to outside the country, and there has been a replacement of engineers working on the game. The average salary has increased.

*This is the personal opinion of one user and is not intended to influence investment decisions.

GDEV announces results for the second quarter and first half of 2023 (excerpts)

Hero Wars, our flagship global mid-core franchise, recently conducted a soft rebranding with names of mobile and PC browser versions of the game being changed to “Hero Wars: Alliance” and “Hero Wars: Dominion Era” respectively. The rebranding is designed to differentiate two versions of the game and create a more distinct identity for each version in the future. As part of the development of DTC (direct to consumer) channels, an external web shop for mobile players was launched at the end of Q2 2023, providing us with an alternative method of monetization.
Platform commissions decreased by 22% in the second quarter of 2023 compared with the same period of 2022. The decrease in platform commissions was primarily due to a 13% decrease in the revenue generated from in-game purchases when compared to the prior period, amplified by an increasing portion of revenue derived from our web platform which is associated with lower commissions compared to mobile and social networks.
Game operation costs increased by $6 million (or 30%) in the first half of 2023 vs. the same period in 2022 to reach $27 million. The increase in game operating cost was primarily due to an increase in average salaries of our employees as a result of the relocation of personnel in the second half of 2022 from Russia.

Official Community Manager FAQ

Titles are tailored to the content.

Spooky coins post Spooky Festival

Q. Hi Nexters. There is a rumour floating around on this wiki page that this time around Spooky Coins will not outlast the event. I suspect this page is simply wrong.
Just to squash this rumour can you please confirm that like past years any unspent Spooky Coins will go into our inventory after the event.
A. Coins will stay in the inventory. This article will be corrected.

Inclusion of a loot box summary

Q. could we have a summary window of looting loot boxes? it would improve the quality of the game, and I suppose it is not hard to implement, as it is already in use in campaign raiding.
A. Agree. I’ve passed it to the devs. This window 100% deserves a redesign.

Lesser Absolute Spirit Summoning Sphere can not chooce elements

Q. Hey CM’s. I just got a light totem from the Lesser Elemental Spirit. Normally I would be very happy, but this time I was a bit confused. I don’t have a single Light titan, and this was my first totem. I’ve been told that your first and second totem guaranteed is the totem from your strongest titan element. This bothers me. Could you maybe take a look at this, check how it worked and maybe help? Because this is pretty disappointing for me.
A. I’ll check it with the devs and return to you with the results.

Absolute Spirit Summoning Sphere

Automatic update for Valkyrie favorites

Q. So Nexters is now forcing us to check to the box to store our credit card information and automatically charge us for Valky’s Favor. If we don’t check the box then we can’t make a payment to renew it. This is shady business practice. You should give customers the option to auto-renew or not like every other legitimate business.
A. Developers often received requests from players to make it more convenient to pay for a subscription. So that players wouldn’t have to manually purchase it every week and wouldn’t be afraid of losing their accumulated level. Now developers offer such a solution. Naturally, to enable auto-renewal, you will need to save your card information. You can opt out of auto-renewal at any time. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll inform the developers about the “checkmark” option.

Designation of Lvl 100 artifacts as training opponents

Q. To Nexters: Is there a way to add a 3rd function in Combat Training stating “lvl 100 artifacts”? Right now the difference with a “Maxed team (full artifacts)” there is no clear way to test targets. Might as well go back to “Guild Battles” only.
A. Combat Training update is in the plans.
