-LOCKED - JULY EVENT! | |
Posted on 2021-07-07 18:09:04
The July event launches on July 8th at 00:00am LDT, and will end on July 31st at 11:59pm LDT. All unused event currency will be stored on your account until next year. In future years, it will start right away on July 1st at 00:00 LDT. Previous July Event InformationAs had been mentioned within the July event news for 2020, all mechanics relating to July's past storylines and quests have been retired. The Firefly Shop is retired, and the Firefly currency is retired as well. We are debating on creating a conversion system to convert Fireflies to Silver Beetles. If one is added, we will announce it this weekend. All items that we could shuffle have been moved from one shop to another, and all previous storyline items were added to Tefnut's Temple (now Tefnut's Memories). We listed some items in July 2021's development update, but here's an extra list. * The following items have been relocated from the Firefly Shop to Tefnut's Memories: Abaddon Skies, all sets of "Celestial Wings", Apollyon's Grace, Menhit. * All items that were removed from Tefnut's Memories (listed in the July 2021 development update) have been added to the new Draco Demiurge Exchange: Celestial Horn Crown, all "Celestials" decors, all Shard Growths, Interstellar Wing Bands. * The Frivolous Apedemak decor has been relocated from the Oasis to Tefnut's Memories and is now available for the duration of July at a price of 4000 SB. * All generic Celestial-themed backgrounds and decors from the Firefly Shop have been relocated to the Draco Demiurge Exchange. Any backgrounds and decors left from the Firefly Shop that are African-themed will be introduced to the game through other sources within the next development update. * All future special items and unique applicators will appear in the Draco Demiurge Exchange instead of Tefnut's Memories. July Event - PremiseThis year, we're laying down the foundations for the new Celestial event. You can still gather Meteorite Shards while you explore the African lands. These Meteorite Shards become a new special form of "energy". Starting immediately on July 1st at 00:00am LDT in future years, you will be able to access Celestial Explore, where you can use the charged Meteorite Shards to move across the space-time. A new map will open, which we will expand upon every year or so to add in new zones. This year, you will be able to access the world of the Draco Demiurge - the Draco Constellation. Celestial Explore is not affected by Earth's day and night cycles, nor is it affected by dry and wet seasons. Each explore step in Celestial Explore costs 5 Meteorite Shards. You can battle and encounter alien beings native to this zone in order to collect a new currency, Axion Cores. Battles use normal energy and do not deplete your Meteorite Shards. Speaking of battles, there's something a little special this month. Each normal alien enemy that you encounter in Celestial Explore can count towards a hidden bar. When you defeat and win against 10 alien enemies, you will then encounter a boss enemy. This boss enemy cannot be skipped—even if you click past them, the next enemy encounter you get in Celestial Explore will always be a boss. You can use Lucky Feet on normal alien enemies, but not boss enemies. The bosses are powerful, but they do give out better rewards. Whether you win or lose against a boss, the counter will restart again. You can build this counter up and cycle through it endlessly throughout the duration of the event. The battles do not have to be sequential, either. If you win against a normal enemy, then lose, then win again, your counter will still go up and will not be interrupted or affected by your loss. You do not have to win 10 battles in a row to encounter a boss. Going back to the new currency, Axion Cores can be spent in the Draco Demiurge Exchange shop, which also unlocks upon reaching Tier 1 of the Meteorite Shards collected bar. This currency is also necessary to enter the Celestial Raffle, which is available when the Meteorite Shards collected bar reaches Tier 2. There is no new lore or storyline this year. We needed to introduce new mechanics and refresh the event's premise first. We will slowly build upon this world each year, like we used to do in the old days of Lioden. July Event - Tiers of the Meteorite Shards BarThe bar is a global collective of all players gathering them on the site. Tier 0As soon as the July event starts, Celestial Explore is unlocked, which is available on the Event page.Tier 1Tier 1 unlocks the Draco Demiurge Exchange, which can also be found through the Event page. This new shop contains both new and old backgrounds and decors. There are no tiers to this shop, everything is available to purchase as soon as it unlocks.Tier 2Tier 2 unlocks the Celestial Raffle, which is unchanged from last year. The mechanics are identical to previous years.Every 12 hours, a new lioness will appear with a base, eye colour, and a marking that are unique to this month! You can pay 5 Axion Cores for a chance to impress her. There will be a 50/50 rotation of Type 1 and Type 2 Celestial lionesses. There is no set order, it is random which type will be generated. Type 1 will have the Dawn base (new for 2021), Stellar eyes (new for 2021), and a random Celestial, Leonid, Sidereal, Skyward, or Sunset marking in any slot. Type 2 will have the Celestial, Leonid, Sidereal, Skyward, Stratosphere, Sunrise, or Sunset base, Dawn, Draconid, Galaxy, Starshine, or Sunglow eyes, and a random Stratosphere marking (new for 2021). Dawn is a Red Light Countershaded Special base and is tied to Dusky skin. It is from this suggestion—it fits the subtle Celestial lioness theme as well as the new colour palette of the Draco Constellation. Thank you, Dal 1st Gen Heavy F1-F9 (#149529), for the design! Stellar eyes are a new Celestial Raffle eye colour. They have been added as a factor for Cosmic eyes, on the same side as Dawn (so to get Cosmic, you must breed a Cosmic/Galaxy/Jasper-eyed lion to a Cosmic/Dawn/Draconid/Starshine/Stellar/Sunglow-eyed lion). Stellar Genetics: 50% Stellar, 20% Sapphire, 10% Saffron, 10% Tyrian, 5% Dawn, 5% Galaxy Stratosphere markings are the new Celestial Raffle marking set. The shapes are as follows! * Stratosphere Feline (4) * Stratosphere Lycaon (Heavy Inverted) * Stratosphere Undertone * Stratosphere Vitiligo (5) Tier 3Tier 3 unlocks the "Murder Stone"—or, as we will call it from now on, the One-Way Portal. Mechanic-wise, it is unchanged from last year, and is identical to previous years.When you give up a lion, you will receive a wonderful reward for sending the lion to the Celestial world. Rewards are the same as they have been, and are randomised as usual. Remember that we cannot bring back a lion you've sent on accident. There are many confirmations, though. It's best to give special names to lions that you intend to send through the portal. To send a lion through the portal, they cannot be pregnant, nursing cubs, in a reverse breeding, set as a broodmother, offered in a trade, offered in a raffle, on a trade cooldown, cannot be frozen, cannot be secured, cannot be hunting, and cannot be patrolling. Cubs cannot be given up. Even if you chase a lioness's cubs, the mother is still considered as nursing until 5 days of cooldown pass. The One-Way Portal does not affect your pride leader's karma. General and Extra Event-Related ContentNew in the Oasis The new background in the Oasis this year is M87* Supermassive Black Hole, inspired by the recent data flow. Crafting and Gems Under Decor Crafting in Monkey Business, crafting will be available right away. This month's favoured gems are Celestite, Jasper, Labradorite, Meteorite, Moonstone, and Peridot. We have not expanded on gem crafting in 2021 due to the event rehaul workload. We will focus on this area next year, with a new base, eye colour, mane colour, and new decors based on the new gems (Howlite and Star Ruby). The new Comet Shard, Prismatic Scale, and Space Rock items will be craftable next year. For now, you can sell them for SB to Monkey Business, or just collect them! Wiki Information Our Wiki Team will be updating the July event wiki page with all new content and information as soon as possible. The Wiki Team has also created a new Retired Events page, which hosts a link to the retired July event, if any newcomers or older players alike would like to reminisce on older times. This is your yearly reminder that the Pulsar base can be bred again! What's unique about Pulsar is that it can ONLY be bred during the month of July, with the following factor bases. Base Factor 1: Arctic, Pulsar Base Factor 2: Anjeer, Blazing, Inferno, Prune, Pulsar Outside of July, you can only breed Pulsar x Pulsar to produce more Pulsar lions. Keep in mind that Pulsar is not technically affected by or tied to the event. Whether you participate in the event or not, you can breed for Pulsar using its factors starting immediately on July 1st at 00:00am LDT up until July 31st at 11:59pm LDT. Again, outside of this timeframe, you can only achieve Pulsar by breeding Pulsar x Pulsar, or using Crunchy Worms on Pulsar lionesses. As a reminder, the Interstellar base is applied using the Interstellar Remnants applicator. This applicator can be found while exploring in normal African biomes, and only if you come across a successful Meteorite Shard encounter. It is a very rare drop, so if you find it, congratulations! You can also earn this applicator by completing the Journey to Vredefort Crater. This epic quest can only be taken during the month of July via the Adventuring page within Crossroads. Once you take this quest, you can finish it at any time of the year. There is no time limit for finishing the quest. However, once you complete the quest, that's it—you cannot take it again, it is once per account. Check out the Journey to Vredefort Crater guide on our official Lioden wiki! Extra InformationIn the following days, we will upload the Dawn base mutation files and fix various art bugs, including the new Draconid eye files that seem to have been overwritten with the old version for various stages. We will include that list of fixes in the August news post as a summary, but the work will be done this week. 0 players like this post! Like? Edited on 08/07/21 @ 04:27:39 by a Moderator |

Hi! Here's just a couple things I wanna talk about: First of all, nice base and it's nice to see that many nice things were kept, 2. I believe most people had said this but the change(changing everything in the tefnut's temple from MS to SBs) was really surprising, I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing, might be a good thing because sbs are easier for me to get, but I know many people including me had to change their plans for July because of this sudden change. ok maybe overall this was a good idea but I just wish there was a warning so the people who want to buy stuffs with MS can before the change and the people who want to buy them with SBs can buy event items after the change. (Edit: or maybe there can be 2 ways of paying the event items(mostly apps), MSs and SBs, I know this sounds like a lot but I also know many people have saved MSs for apps this month and are very disappointed, maybe we can just do this for this year) Also last thing, what is the "Murder Stone" exactly? I didn't participate last year and can't find it on wiki so I'm very confused about tier 3 rn. Just some opinions 0 players like this post! Like?

I don't understand why the old event apps are all SB based now. That feels super exclusionary to people who don't pay to play. I was excited for July but this is just disappointing. 0 players like this post! Like? |

So wait. We can only buy items out of the tefnut temple with sb?? Not with the shards?? I get why it may be a good idea for those who pay. But for those who don’t, like myself. 15000sb is just something I will never get. Is there a way we could make it for people to be able to use both currencies? I feel like that would be a huge hit. 0 players like this post! Like? Edited on 07/07/21 @ 19:07:42 by StarShine (#170786) |

Look, everything looks great until you get to tefnuts shop. The apps should have stayed how they were, paying with MS, because now you guys have made this event pay to play. Not everyone just has GB they can go and sell that GB to get that base, or those markings. People are selling heirs they have planned on for a while because now they can't afford it. I like everything else in the update just now the change over from MS to SB. It's already hard enough to get 5k for the event questline. Not only that, but the markings apps should not be 15k for a random chance at a marking we want. Maybe if we could choose the marking then it would be. I do not approve with what your guys have done and sincerely hope it won't be a monthly thing. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Man, I was getting so close to getting an Astral base, only for it to swap to twice the SB amount you can have on-hand to still get it in Explore encounters, plus the Marking Apps are 3X the amount. And I'm still working on those achievements. I guess it's time to reactivate the side account. EDIT totally forgot to mention the new stuff: - DRAGONS YES! (from the Item Catalogue) - I'm glad the Celestial Raffle and Murder Stone are staying, although I'm wondering what the price will be for the raffle since it uses the same currency as Celestial Explore. I don't want to accidentally use too much! The old raffle used fireflies so I don't know what that equates to. - Looking forward to seeing what the Celestial Explore is like tomorrow! Admin Response: Celestial Raffle does not use Meteorite Shards! We updated the news post to mention that it costs 5 Axion Cores to impress a Celestial Lioness. 0 players like this post! Like?

Was this event supposed to be restricted to really serious players with lots of time and money (both SB and real) to spend, or was this supposed to be accessible to everyone? Because if the goal was an event everyone could enjoy and actually be able to acquire some stuff from, this is a complete failure. The shard prices in the temple were already excessive, and I actually thought, "maybe as SB I can afford some applicators." No, I cannot. And I have a full time job so acquiring enough shards for the steps required to do the new explore very often will be impossible. 0 players like this post! Like? |

It's sort of weird that the monthly event you decide to scrap and overhaul is arguably the most beloved one? I won't point fingers, but there are quite a few months that users use as vacation time because the events are a little "meh." Y'all know how much the July event was anticipated every year. I get and support the idea to retool monthly events! But doing it this way, with this month, at this point in Lioden development with absolutely no storyline? Man, idk. Disappointing. But I get that you're busy and you're trying. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I also agree with the discourse about the price of the apps being in SB; could they be added to the new shop for the new currency? Shards are super hard to get and will have little to no value other than 'energy', and even a veteran like myself looks at those SB prices, and the fact that GB sales are at the lowest point I've personally seen in recent years, and I just... cringe a bit. I was planning on buying several apps this year with event currency, but now that it's SB I may miss out. ;o; I need my SB for food and karma fodder LOL not spending it all on apps I'd be better off getting with event stuff, if it were available! 0 players like this post!
