Check out the upcoming plans for Bit Heroes below and share your feedback or questions here. If you’d like to join the official Bit Heroes Discord server for additional chat with players and council, dev Q&A, suggestions, fan art, lore, and more~ [click here](https://discord.gg/xSNHnKT). *** ### Mythic Runes New crafting techniques have been discovered in the Bit World, making it possible to craft **mythic runes!** The first 3 runes will be added to the game tomorrow, February 13: * Zyrk Mythic Rune * Tol Mythic Rune * Vend Mythic Rune **How do we obtain them?** These runes can be obtained in the crafting menu by trading 4 different items: a primary mythic material which drops from Trials & Gauntlets, a legendary material that will come from legendary rune exchanges, rune shards, and gold. **Mythic runes are directly craftable.** Mythic Runes will have individual recipes in the crafting menu-- you get to pick which item you’re trading for, so you’ll always know which mythic rune you’re going to get! **Are you adding more mythic runes?** Yes, but the townsfolk need time to discover them and ensure they’re safe for use! New mythic runes will be added slowly, with just a few added each time. Mythic runes will have a higher value on effects that already exist in runes of a lower rarity. We do not currently plan to add new skills/effects in mythic runes, but our goal is to eventually have a mythic version of each existing rune. ### Mythic Augments, Enchants, and more It won’t be long before the newly-discovered crafting techniques are applied to more than runes-- soon it will be possible to get **mythic augments and enchants** as well! Just like the mythic runes, mythic augments will be directly craftable, added slowly and in small quantities over time. In the future, mythic rarity pets, mounts, and accessories will also be possible in the Bit World! ### New NPCs are coming to town! In a few weeks, you’ll see new NPCs in town. These NPCs are masters of mythics-- visit them for all your mythic rune, augment, and enchant needs! This will keep the original crafting menu from getting overcrowded with the new rune-specific recipes. ### Back by Popular Demand: Previous WB, Invasions and Expeditions! Adventurers have been asking for a second chance, a new approach, or a different take on previous content, and we’re preparing to make that happen! **Orlag (the first World Boss!)** New year, new boss-- Orlag is returning with uptiered stats and new equipment to collect! It’ll be worth it to try this encounter, even if you’re in the current tier. Boss fights will not include elemental effects, but we may see elemental effects on some of the new gear. **Invasions & Expeditions** Ninja, Popoz, Battle Bards, Jelly, and more-- previous invasions and expeditions are going to be held once more for players to enjoy & conquer! The first one that will get an update is the Ninja Invasion, which will be uptiered to the current tier and contain new gear to collect. ### Unity Port & IronSource Update Many players have asked us _‘What will happen to Bit Heroes when Flash support has ended?’_ The answer is: we’re porting Bit Heroes into Unity. The Unity port is a hefty undertaking; taking a lot of time, focus, and testing for a smooth implementation in the coming months. Unity makes it possible to keep Bit Heroes up and running well after Flash support has ended, which we plan to do! Additionally, we are making some changes with IronSource, the company that provides in-game ads for free boosts, items, etc. The Unity port and IronSource updates will make great things possible in the later half of this year. Unity will make it possible to add certain features we previously could not as well as integrate quality of life updates, create new art, and make UI improvements on a much more efficient timeline. We should also see big improvements to game performance, especially with animations. An updated IronSource SDK will mean fewer ad crashes, more relevant ads, and hopefully an improvement for people in areas that sometimes ‘run out’ of available ads for their language or region. The IronSource update will also make it possible for us to improve the ad experience as a whole, making it more valuable and rewarding. ### Other improvements & updates * New cosmetics! * Improvements to the crafting table (ie: mass exchanges) * Buffs to Trials & Gauntlet Set metadata All of this sounds great, reads well, and gives me hope for the future of the game I've come to both appreciate and love. But honestly out of everything in this announcement the one thing that has me most hyped up? **New Cosmetics!** metadata Finally, mythic runes/enchants/augments coming to the game. Suggested for so long. Hype! metadata I’m a little concerned the mythic runes are crafted from leg mats that come from dismantling leg runes, kind of seems like everyone is going to have to make 10x the amount of runes hope there’s another way to get those mats. metadata everything but mythic pet and acc please, we never asked for them ! not even once ! it just makes the game much more p2w, we don't even need them. but the idea for the runes is not bad. (I want to remind you of one thing, when Juppio released the first set acc and pet, it was so badly received by the community that they are forced to stop talking to us and completely radio silent. Please don't make the same mistakes. Thanks Woothy. metadata Reducing the amount of resources you get from bundles, while adding the amount of things that are going to need items gathered... That should be fun... It seems like these changes are try to cater to Kong getting new players realed in thinking they are getting a quick advantage to the game, but it really isn't doing much for the prior player group who understands the game more. It's great you held this all out for a few weeks from the new tier launch so players have burnt through the resources they have and many are unwilling to purchase more. Way to try and strong arm folks if they want the new items... metadata Everything here looks good except for the mythic pet/acc. I've been playing this game for like 3 years as f2p and still haven't managed to get decent leg pet/acc :I metadata All good and such, but i am depleting my IF boosts. And i still have alot of packs just sitting in my inventory. When will there be a sale on IF boost in the shop. I'm not going to buy stuff anymore if i can't use them properly. metadata it's completely disgusting to announce the addition of mythic acc and pet after having sold all the leg acc and pet for 100 euro. And I agree with the others, nobody asked for this, why add this to the game ? there are only negative reviews on mythic acc and pet, if you let this pass it's death for the game, it's not too late to change your mind. metadata Hey don’t worry everyone there’s no money being wasted if you have bough a leg pet or accessory because you will probably need 4 leg pets or accessory to make 1 mythic. Ya should I start my slow ironic clap now or later not even P2w are going to be able to make this crap, actually look at the people walking around with one fully upgraded leg pet or accessory, they have been playing for over 3 years. Let’s think about this now 3 years to get *one* of those the way you have already announced the runes you cant tell me we are going to need multiple pets or accessory because I know how much you love uniformity. Guess new players have something to look forward to making in 12 years time. metadata I really hope we can "upgrade" our pets, accessories and mounts to mythics instead of having to get completely new ones, similar to how mythic runes, augments and enchants will work. I also hope it won't be too difficult to get mythic pets/accs/mounts, because it's hard enough to just get legendaries of each. metadata Love this road map! Queston tho, (probs too early) will poly work with mount bonus? metadata Some exciting things listed. As a 100% FTP player, I am excited about improvements to offerwall. Hopefully including more offers and more frequent updating of listings. Too often the playable offers are used and I am left with nothing but purchase and survey options. The new Mythic options sound cool. I just fear they will only be aimed towards purchase options and Pay players. Namely the pets and mounts. metadata and when will this happen? metadata > *Originally posted by **[WRLDEATR](/forums/962723/topics/1895109?page=1#13338682)**:* > Love this road map! Queston tho, (probs too early) will poly work with mount bonus? I'm not sure on that, a bit early in the design to know for sure. :) > *Originally posted by **[thoshr18](/forums/962723/topics/1895109?page=1#13338773)**:* > and when will this happen? The 3 mythic runes were JUST added in today's update. Next week we'll see Mythic Augments and Enchants. Over the next few weeks, small bits of those mythics will be added to the game slowly. The rest is on a pretty loose timeline, but specific dates will be announced in-game via countdowns. :) > Mythic Pets / Accessories Concerns There isn't a whole lot of detail yet, as it's a ways away and design isn't fully fleshed out, but I do want to share some info. If we see mythic pets & accessories, the planned way to obtain them will be similar to the mythic runes. It's not going to be a just brutal egg chase, it'll be to collect materials needed in various areas of the game. metadata > *Originally posted by **[BitHelper](/forums/962723/topics/1895109?page=1#13338164)**:* > Mythic runes will have a higher value on effects that already exist in runes of a lower rarity. The Mythic Vend Rune says 'Your opponents first attack on you has a 25% increased chance to be evaded'. This is the same as the Legendary Vend Rune, shouldn't it be 30%? metadata As a low spender, I love that you're running badge events more frequently again. I run out of the various energy currencies very quickly so having one more to spend means that i can play a tiny bit longer. That said, it's hard to be excited about the other items on this list. Mythic tier craftables are just way out of reach for me. Mixed with the reduced quality of crates in the shop, I just have no hope of ever acquiring the materials. Things that I would be happy about: * Improved chat functionality with ability to show timestamps on messages * Increased energy, shard, etc. regeneration time * More value from IAP offerings with some at lower price points * Better craft menu, specifically with options that allow us to trade sprockets and syrum for something useful. Ability to trade for old leg mats, such as Crubble and Doubloons, and abiity to deconstruct epic mats into rare mats, etc. * Ability to switch between acounts on mobile devices The main point I'm making is that I want to play more but I don't want to break the bank to do it. Every release seems blatantly targeted at the high spenders with little attention to the rest. Surely pleasing the masses and having more people active in the game opens up many more possible conversion targets? A potential persona here is a player who is willing to spend $5 for a night of grinding every now and then. It's worth evaluating if selling lots of $5 packs is more lucrative than selling a small amount of $20 deals, isn't it? metadata 8k ancient fragments for the mystic runes is genuinely alot, and why is it the same amount for Major,Meta, and Minor runes? I suggest 2k or 3k both rune fragments and ancient for Minor and Major mystic rune and 4k rune and mystic fragments for Meta rune. Loving new content so far great work. metadata As far as the roadmap goes..... i'll keep this brief, 1. Mythic runes are cool... i guess, except years worth leg runes that have been exchanged have been wasted. Id say reimburse players 1/2 the legs worth of mats but, ya, probably not. 2. Mythic pets/acc - once again, dumb idea. You realise that people have spent $1000s of dollars for things like Urg, trophy, diadem, and a couple more prominent pets/accs. You then sell them in a $100 combo box as of recently taking the rng(the real money maker) out of it. Now we dont know the requirements for myth acc/pet - maybe you buy a box with them or you upgrade your leg to myth, not sure. either way, no one has literally asked for this. Not one. 3. Instead of reskining old content content (classic bit heroes move) why not give us something new? Like a wb dungeon (3 man live DUNGEON) or Live raid (5 man live raid). Something we can do together. But instead, same invasions/expeditions but just for new items and cosmetics. This isnt creative, it's not new, its lazy and shows your real intentions for this game. 4. Its hard for me to believe that you gave these ideas to the ....i hold my laughter "The Council" and they were like "This ... is... GREAT!!!!" 5. So... does anyone test patches/updates before they go live? How on earth did you release the Armory and elemental stuff with all the bugs? Armory still doesnt work properly....I know we have beta testers... but i guess i expected ... better quality. 5. People thought when Kong took over this game, it would take a different turn and OH BOY has it. Its taken a direction straight down into the ground. This game is nothing special, its not some ground breaking game, but its the community that keeps people playing. 6. Fire who ever came up with this "BlAcK mArKeT BoX". This box belongs in the dumpster, along with everyone that agreed it was a good idea. Cheers! P.S. FFS would someone give Hermes a crate of Mayo? He's the real MVP. metadata I don't get why mythic runes/pets/acc etc are considered p2w in a game that lets f2ps benefit greatly from more p2ps, I like that they give me new things to pursue especially after the years I've had no use for my rune fragments for example, the rng boxes...I hate them, throw them away. It'll reduce population with the victims the bad rng's gonna get so it should benefit the devs too. Also like other people said, new ORIGINAL content! Stop reskinning and get creative. How come guild castles aren't a thing yet...Also, please redo gvg, reskinned pvp ain't worth the name. metadata "> > Mythic Pets / Accessories Concerns > > There isn't a whole lot of detail yet, as it's a ways away and design isn't fully fleshed out, but I do want to share some info. > > If we see mythic pets & accessories, the planned way to obtain them will be similar to the mythic runes.

Why not make leg pets obtainable this way? Why not make leg accessories obtainable this way? This just spells bad news for Bit Heroes. metadata > *Originally posted by **[Kurako777](/forums/962723/topics/1895109?page=1#13341430)**:* > > "> > Mythic Pets / Accessories Concerns > > > > There isn't a whole lot of detail yet, as it's a ways away and design isn't fully fleshed out, but I do want to share some info. > > > > If we see mythic pets & accessories, the planned way to obtain them will be similar to the mythic runes.

It's not going to be a just brutal egg chase, it'll be to collect materials needed in various areas of the game. You have got to be kidding me. So let me get this straight, after selling players legendary pets and accessories for $100, you now plan to release pets/accessories that will make those obsolete? Absolutely scummy business practice. Uness it's upgrading legendary pets/accessories to mythic through crafting (and requiring the legendary pet/acc as a materal), I can already see people considering some kind of lawsuit. If it DOES require those legendary versions to make mythic versions, sure, that's fine. Otherwise, Kong will lose even more P2W players and have many players calling for their money back. metadata I agree with a lot of the people commenting on the mythic pet and accessory additions.... Only way they can do this without flopping is making a way to convert epic/ legendary ones into mythics using resources that can be obtained at a fair rate as f2p, and *mildly* accelerated rate as a p2p. 100 dollars for one item is outrageous, this is a mobile game; I get the devs put a lot of work in, but you can get 2-3 triple A games for that much.
