Patch notes are listed on our homepage for the heroes project.

www.ConquerHeroes.com

There has been some health issues that delayed the launch but we are still aiming for a launch that coincides with the end of the ICO (Sept 1st). If there are any significant delays forseen they will be posted there.


After the 1.0 launch of Heroes we will be returning to our old structure of doing videos for path overviews. We're aiming for a stable weekly patch schedule but if there are any significant issues found we will of course address them immediately rather than waiting.



Jewels for Paypal is a fairly low risk venture. The jewels can not be withdrawn or traded until after the chargepack period has ended. Assuming someone bought jewels and then did a chargeback, those jewels (and any items purchased with them in game) would still be inside our system and the accounts can be banned/the jewels recovered. In order to trade or gamble the jewels, players will need to go through an exchange, wait until the paypal transaction is 'finalized' (no reversal possible), use the automated conversion tools inside our wallet, or trade with other players who have done so.

Timeline is quite realistic. Heroes has been in development for over a year now (not full time development, we have been very busy with adding new features and content to apex during that time). The server is fully playable and online for testing now. We're simply looking for final bugs, tweaking the rates and adding new content. Technically speaking we could go ahead and launch the server with a few days of prep work. We're giving ourselves a few more week to make sure we catch any issues and to make sure the launch is as exciting as possible for players.

The timeline for Rebirth could be a bit confusing I agree. We're aiming for a Q4 2016 networking prototype. That simply means we'll have finalized our design for the client<>server communication and have a working prototype of both the client and server. This does not account for any actual game content, it's simply a foundation for us to build the game ontop of. This allows us to publish the first draft of our design document which will cover what the game will consist of and how we will go about integrating the necessary features.

Mid 2017 we then aim to have a pre-alpha client ready for testing. This does NOT mean a remotely finished product, it simply means we'll have our concept art turned into the first set of character designs, some working skills in place and a map or two. This will allow us to bring in a few players to test how the game itself will work (how does the combat feel, do they like the direction the design of the game is going in, etc). There is no accurate way for us to give a full timeline for that project because we dont know how many developers we'd be hiring to work on it. The timeline we've given is the work we'd be doing with a small dedicated team to turn it into something playable to demonstrate the core concepts of the game, nothing more.

How will the updates be given out to the community? I think it should be considered that having a slack or discord could be a good way to get updates out. For example,id like to know how the hero testing is coming along. Will it still be released next month? All this can be posted on a private channel like slack or did you ever consider a blog where you can post daily or semi daily updates. It could be as simple as a blog tab on the top of the apex conquer site.

I know the feeling mine used to do the same playing Forza. You know when the new game comes out she is going to be worse than before?

Ya fun till she takes over the pc :p cant wait for the new game

Your wife sounds fun  The new game will soon be upon us then you have a mountain of new items and 'stuff' to tell your friends about it.
That is brilliant to hear it will make it's debut on the Heroes server. 'The tournament night' sounds like it will be a busy night filled with gaming fun. I will stay eagerly tuned to here more closer to the time. Thanks for your speedy reply Pro4Never.

At that point we had stopped doing the video patch notes because we found very few people were bothering to watch them (they seemed to prefer to read the text version on our website). We felt the time used to make those videos was better spent elsewhere. I think with the new server though it would be worthwhile to do them again as some people certainly enjoyed watching them.

I know this is not about jewels but about apex. Is there any new video's out showing new stuff? looked on youtube but pretty much everything i ran across is from 2015. Just curious if theres anything recent with new patches / items etc sorry got a few people that im trying to pull into the game so I can kill em. well the wife can kill em :p

All the pvp tournaments will give a lot of extra reason to play the game and caters for many more. I am even more excited for the Heroes server now and I am definitively going to be nagged when I start playing. Yeah that is something that needs to be address, not manipulating brackets will be key to the experience remaining fun.


This sounds interesting and I can't wait to learn more about the game, attacking the castle and defending  still very newbie here but you have gave me much information that I know I will be having a ball once I get going and learn more.

The clan system sounds similar to when I used to play clan wars on Call of Duty and that describes what I know well. We can hopefully build a newbie Guild and Clan from crypto, even if we're not the greatest over time I'm sure we will do well  And will be good to just hang out with like minded guys.

That's actually something we were considering doing. I think it's safe to say it will make its debut in the Heroes server.


The plan was to have a 'tournament night' where you'd sign up with a group of friends, choose a name for your team and you'd be paired off in a single elimination tournament. There would be prizes for each round won as well as bonuses for top 8, top 3 and ultimate champion. We really like the concept but because we want a fairly in-depth system for it (a proper UI for the tournament brackets), it's better done in the new source with its html5 browser support. That way all of the tournament and team management systems will simply be an embedded website and can be managed easier.


Currently there is no betting on tournaments. That is something we will be allowing in the Heroes server for sure though. Similar to the football tournament mentioned above, there will be similar systems in place for general PVP events, team pvp events, soccer, etc. You will be able to wager on teams you think will win using in-game currency or jewels. That's something we have to be careful with though to avoid abuse. We don't want people manipulating brackets for profit because it would take away from the fun of the actual event.



There's a number of large guilds right now. Generally people collapse into large guilds or alliances to compete in the weekly guild war (guilds fight for control of a castle and then defend it from other groups of attackers). Smaller guilds are generally focused on friends who want to chat or hang out together rather than for competitive events.


The new project also contains a 'clan' system. Clans are limited to 12 members total and members receive a percentage of eachother's strength. It strongly encourages players who often join events together to make their own clan and there will be a number of events dedicated to clans specifically (as they already represent a tight knit group of active players, perfect for forming teams!)

Yup mine too, I love football, betting and gaming. To have all three would be crazy and I think my wife would end up having something to say after I spend so much time on it lol Are there many guilds out there do you know?

Football in-game will be right up my street and very funny.

Some kind of tournament play between guilds maybe a possibility in future?

I see on promotional video you can have games of football ingame as well that is cool and another avenue for people to make bets on which side wins?
After looking you can have a whole world of different bets going on ingame, this is super exciting for Jewels and its investors.

The Brand Ambassadors will be cool additions to your team, I like that idea. What languages are you focusing them openings on mainly or is there no minimum?

It is about time they have great years, gaming and crypto are like two peas in a pod and should do well mainstream considering how large gaming communities are and how many people love gaming.

This has added benefit of provably fair gambling, games in game to win Jewels and not just paid to play like others that are out. The mining will be a cute twist.
