Thanks for checking out the patch notes. Below are the changes that will be coming to live soon (within the next few days) that are currently being tested on the Public Test Realm. I hope you like them! I have bolded some of the cool ones
UPDATE: The patch is live! We fixed the facebook login so please clear your cache: http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cache
New Features:
* You can now review Death Notes and Last Wills by clicking a player in the graveyard. They are no longer displayed in the chat log.
* New Game modes! We have added an 'All Any' game mode as well as a witches vs vigilantes mode called 'Vigilantics'. Also, a mode called 'Rapid Fire' which is a regular custom game but the phases are much shorter.
* Achievement Browser! You can now review what achievements you have and which ones you still have yet to obtain.
* Adding new characters! We have added the Serial Killer (named Dexter) and the Investigator (named Sleuth)!
* Lobby Icon system! The system is in to purchase and choose custom lobby icons. When this is live, we will be giving out the Kickstarter lobby icon rewards.
* Custom Death Animations! We will be releasing 'Burned at the Stake' into the shop!
* Improved the featured items to show 6 total items we think you guys will like.
* All backgrounds ON SALE! All of the backgrounds will be going on sale for a few weeks. This will be our first sale to test out the sale system and make sure it is working.
* New ways to get Town Points! These include referring friends (see below), inviting your friends to play ToS via Facebook (5 points per invite per day), and sharing your daily win/achievements (25 points per day).
* Added the Kickstarter achievement. This will be given out to the Kickstarter backers as soon as we go live with this patch.
* Added new pets! We have added new fairy pets. There are 4 colors of them in the shop including Blue, Pink, Yellow and Green.
* New Background! The Dark Forest is coming out and it will make you afraid
Bug Fixes:
* The homepage now has a load bar. This will prevent people from having the 'Loading...' as their name problem.
* Daily win timer changed to 23 hours.
* Shop polish.
* Increased the friends list cap to 1000.
* Fixed the dragon pets death animation to not freeze halfway through.
* Added a client message for when a file fails to load so you can tell us exactly which file you are having trouble with.
* Hopefully fixed any issues people were having with loading or connecting to ToS.
The new Refer-A-Friend system:
We are happy to announce another way for you to earn Town Points! You asked and we are answering. We are announcing the development of the Refer-a-Friend program. You can invite your friends and family to play and have them put your account name as the 'Referrer'. When they have won 10 games, you will get a reward for referring them.
How it works:
For each referral that reaches 10 games won, you receive 100 Town Points. On top of that reward, you unlock tiered rewards (below) when reaching certain thresholds.
* Reward tiers
* 1 - extra 200 Town Points
* 2 - extra 200 Town Points
* 3 - Recruiter Forum Title, extra 200 Town Points
* 4 - extra 200 Town Points
* 5 - extra 200 Town Points
* 10 - Recruiter Lobby Icon, extra 500 Town Points
* 25 - extra 5,000 Town Points
* 50 - Unlock exclusive house (TBA)
* 75 - Senior Recruiter Forum Title and icon
* 100 - Unlock exclusive character skin (TBA)
* 250 - Platinum status, unlimited Town Points forever
To those of you intending to take advantage of this system: Exploiting the Refer-a-Friend program is not only unfair to those who make an honest effort to introduce others to Town of Salem, but also detrimental to everyone’s overall experience – particularly when the methods employed can potentially ruin honest players’ games.
Consider this fair warning. We’re going to be treating any attempt to exploit the Refer-a-Friend program the same way that we would any other fraud attempt. This means that our ever-vigilant Moderation team will be monitoring the system, looking for dishonest referrals that break the Code of Conduct. And once we found them, they’re going to find themselves subject to some pretty hefty consequences, including:
The loss of any and all content acquired under dubious circumstances.
A permanent ban from the Refer-a-Friend Program.
A suspension or in some cases, a permanent ban from Town of Salem.
Our commitment to honest players has always been one of our ideals as a company, and the Refer-a-Friend Program is no different. We’re taking this seriously, and we hope that you are, too.
