Friday Update – Building Character

Welcome to a round up of the week! We have community tool birthdays, a slotted surprise, and more:

Happy Birthday HEX PvP Tools!

HEX PvP Tools turned 1 year old last Tuesday. As a retrospective, Fred went over some truly impressive numbers in his forum birthday thread. The site is amazing, and if you haven’t checked it out yet, you totally should. It is a wonderful place to learn more about the ever evolving HEX meta. Happy Birthday, HEX PvP Tools, and keep up the amazing work, Fred!

While we are celebrating Fred’s labor of love, we also wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for the amazing resources you have created over the years. Whether you’ve put together a collection manager or a wiki, a fansite or a shop, you bring our community together and make it easier to dive right into our game. To everyone who has worked on a community resource, be it an Auction House tracker or a content hub, thank you! You make HEX a great place to be.

Charity Stream

Speaking of those who go above and beyond, InfamousNeo and our stream team are rallying once again for our annual Charity Stream! Over the past several years, they have raised over $60,000 for sick children. With your help, they hope to make that number grow. This year, the Charity Stream will run from the 26th to the 29th of October (full details here). There will be games, prizes, and giveaways, so mark your calendars! You won’t want to miss it.

In honor of the charity stream, we will be granting everyone with an account by October 29th the 2017 Charity Sleeve! We will also be granting the stylish Diamond’s Favor AA as well. This event has continually showcased the best side of our community. Let’s show them what we’re made of once again!

Building Character

We are pleased to announce that with our next live update, we will be bringing everyone’s character slots to 20! This is something our hardcore PvE players have been wanting for quite some time, and so we are going to double down and make it happen. With nearly twice your character slots, we hope you will enjoy trying out more of our exciting race/class combinations as you work your way through the campaign. Enjoy!

Tournament Support

Please note: if you happen to have technical issues with the Clash or Bash events, our support team requests that you submit an output log from that same day along with your ticket. This is essential, not only to ensure your ticket gets resolved in a timely fashion, but also to help us prevent similar problems from occurring in the future. Output, error, and crash logs can be found in the HEX: Shards of Fate program install folder on your machine.

A Stand Up Comic

Our friends at IDW Publishing have launched an amazing Kickstarter — a print-only, 200 page, hardcover, quarterly comics & culture magazine called FULL BLEED. Everyone here at the office is signing up, so we wanted to let you know about it too! The first volume has an exclusive Stephen King interview in it, and this thing is ONLY on Kickstarter. Check it out!

See you in the battlegrounds~
