Werewolves and Bug Fixes

From the Release Notes:

Below is a small update that includes fixes for our werewolves. Because of these changes, we're going to extend the event for a week so we can all exact our revenge. Event updates The event has been extended due to the werewolf rumble bug. It will end sometime on the 7th. (see below) Werewolves will continue spawning and their summoning charms may be available in tourneys and competitions for the rest of the event. The vampires however will now be functioning on their regular new moon schedule and will not be spawning all the time. New stuff Added a Vampirate Booty Chest design to the Trading Post. Item can then be ordered at your local furnisher. Added a special background to werewolf rumble. Updated bat recolor trading. Changed how bat color re-rolls work. You now shouldn't have the possibility of rolling the exact same color. This only applies to the color you're currently rolling. If you start with a black bat and reroll twice, it's possible to get a black bat for the second reroll, just not the first. Added a confirmation box on the bat recolor roll. Are you sure? Fixed an issue where the bat re-roll would allow you to enter multiple bats and you'd potentially lose one of your bats. Bug fixes Fixed a bug with werewolves that would make the match end unexpectedly Adjusted the TH graphics to no longer have alignment and redrawing issues. Fixed a bug where sometimes the rake could apply to an uncalled bet.

Monster Bash

From the Release Notes:

New werewolf rumble: Introduces a furball that replaces the orange ball. The furball cluster will not count in a combo unless there are 2 charged balls in the cluster. Adding more charge balls to a furball cluster adds more combo counters to a cluster. e.g. a red-orange-blue combo ends in a "BIM!" but a red-fur(with 3 charge balls)-blue combo ends in a "BOOM!". This is capped at 5 per cluster. Since the fur cluster is only valid with a second charge ball, the second ball counts as the ordering for that cluster. e.g. a fur-red-fur-yellow combo will have the order red-fur-yellow. There is a timing bug where players may randomly lose later in the game. This is being looked into and will be fixed, but for now players may want to race against the clock to finish off their werewolf opponents. Vampirate updates: Vampirate lairs now have more custom art and a new character. If pirates last long enough, they'll be visited by the Mother of the Mother o' Nyght herself. Treasure Haul in the lairs has all new art to fit the theme. Vampirates now spawn on the new moon. (This mechanic has been reworked: see below) Vampirate boat expeditions are also randomly awarded on the new moon schedule. Vampirate boat expeditions now spawn from 1-3 leagues away to allow players a chance to recover after a battle. Vampirate boats now follow players so they no longer sail away from players in other engagements. The booty system has been reworked so that players get vampire chests only if they were involved in the vampire activities. The Vampirate lair "back to ship" button should no longer disappear on relogging. New Vampirate trading post options: Winged cat pet: A new vampire themed pet Vampirate overcoat: A new vampirate themed overcoat for both male and female pirates. Bat familiar color reroll: A way to recolor bat familiars to different colors, including some reroll exclusive colors. Warning: this reroll is totally random and may give players a more common color or the same color. Vampirate summoning table: A new furniture item that allows players to use vampire summoning charms in private buildings. Vampirate calendar: A new furniture item that gives information on when vampirates are more likely to spawn. MoN + Vampirate dolls: Trinkets that can be held in portraits. Vampirate bilge/carp/helm/cannon: New furniture items that can be replace standard shipboard furniture. Vampire lair portrait background: 3 new portrait backgrounds accessible only with the design. The design is consumed when used. The garlic amulet is available from the trading post. Other updates: Added a 5% poker rake. Garlic and wolfsbane amulets now block their respective curses from happening instead of solely removing them. Inky hair dye is now available from the TP. The moon mechanic has been reworked, so that monsters that rely on the moon now have multiple days of spawning around the new/full moon. Werewolves were also put on the reworked moon mechanic. Both werewolves and vampirates will be enabled full time until the end of the event.
