Yesterday we revealed more details surrounding the Invasions feature during a livestream on the official MortalOnline2 Twitch channel[www.twitch.tv].

---

As many of you who have read the lore article “A New Dawn” on our website[www.mortalonline2.com] may know, the most defining event which occurred between Mortal Online 1 and Mortal Online 2 is known as “The Tagmaton Irruption”, when nearly all life on Myrland was quenched by their unimaginable number.

Although these new rumored stirrings are nothing compared to the horrors of The Irruption, the Tagmatons appear to be increasing in activity once again.

---

Every invasion begins with a single creature, the Drone. These Drones will spawn in semi-random locations on Myrland, and immediately begin scouting for a suitable location to call forth the invasion force.

Once they have found one, they will attract a variant of Tagmaton known as a Disgorger to the chosen site.

The Disgorger is large and worm-like, although still an insectoid in that it has three body segments and six vestigial legs. Its entire purpose in life is to function as a kind of transport tube for other variants of Tagmatons to travel through, it does this by moving through the ground and surfacing at a destination location chosen by scouting Tagmaton Drones.

The other Tagmatons located in their nests underground then enter it from the rear end and move through the inside of it in a fluid,both by crawling as well as being pushed along by contracting muscles similar to a mammal digestive system’s intestines. They are then expelled through the mouth of this creature, and begin transforming the environment around the Disgorger.

The first to spew forth onto the surface are the winged Scramblers, who immediately take to the skies and begin surveying the area. Then come the evasive Borers, who opposite to the Scramblers will climb out of the Disgorger and begin digging into the surrounding ground, forming tunnels and loosening the soil in preparation for terraforming.

Bursters, with their bulbous fluid filled abdomens follow closely behind, depositing enzymes and spores which play a critical role in the biological characteristics of these Tagmatons.

As the Tagmatons solidify their presence and foothold on the new area, over time the Disgorger will expel larger and stronger Tagmatons to aid in its defence, such as the scyth-limbed Slayers, agile Lancers, enormous Bulwarks and fearsome Harbingers.

Once the location has been deemed ready, a Broodmother will ascend, and after some time, gather a large number of her followers and begin marching across the land to attack the nearest town.


In order to quell the invasion, you must locate and destroy all Disgorgers and Drones.

Beware however, as Disgorgers grow stronger the longer they are alive, and so the oldest Disgorgers will likely be surrounded by many of the strongest variants of Tagmatons.

The specific mechanics for eliminating a Disgorger will not be as simple as hitting it, however we will reveal these at a later time.

---

To go along with the spectacle of the invasions themselves, we will also be introducing a new crafting material known as Huskweave, which will only be obtainable from killing and harvesting these Tagmatons.

There will also be many interesting items one might be able to gather from dead Tagmatons, from new house decorations to strange organic glands that may have intriguing but useful effects when consumed.

---

As shown in our reveal stream, one of the new mechanics coming with the Invasions feature is the ability to find and hatch Tagmaton Brood Eggs.

These eggs will be obtained largely from Tagmaton Broodmothers, and each one will hatch into a Tagmaton Wriggler.

If you manage to keep this Wriggler alive and fed for long enough, it will undergo metamorphosis, turning into one of many new and interesting pets.

---

The Hivebreakers are an association of people who carry the weight and heritage of survivors of the Tagmaton Irruption, and have dedicated their lives to the hunting, slaying and culling of Tagmatons wherever they can find them.

This group can be found in small encampments outside some towns, dressed in, ornamented and decorated by pieces of exoskeleton and carapace from the Tagmatons they have slain.

These are the people who have learned how to harvest and craft with Huskweave, and where you can obtain knowledge of it from, for a price.

Their self-appointed title evokes a sense of purposeful and driven pursuing of Tagmatons to eradicate them as quickly and brutally as possible.

They are focused on vengeance for what the Tagmatons have done to the population of Myrland and the relatives of those within the group. Their goal is to kill, humiliate and insult the Tagmatons however they can, while vigorously opposing any attempt from the Tagmatons to expand into Myrland once again, lest history repeat itself.

In exchange for the currency earned for completing the tasks and challenges offered by them, they will sell various items to you, such as wall mounted body parts of slain Tagmatons, as well as the crafting skill lore book for Huskweave, and for the worthy few, a striking garment which identifies a proven and honored member of their rank, the “Hivebreaker Cloak”.

Greetings Mortals,
This enormous patch introduces the Relic Wars feature, Guild Heraldry, the long awaited Broker Search overhaul, Group Tasks and much more!

A rumble from the sky announces the arrival of a Relic. Keep your eyes open for it streaking across the sky, landing somewhere on Myrland. Once on the ground it will need to cool down for 30 minutes, before cracking open and revealing the Relic inside. There are several different types of Relics:

• Reliquary Relics: Construct the new Reliquary structure and place the Reliquary Relic inside to gain a guild-wide buff. Purchase a Reliquary Siphon from the Quartermaster to deplete the shield containing someone else’s Relic and steal it for yourselves.
  
• Equipment: These are powerful weapons and armor.
  
• Ore: Mineable meteorites that provide valuable resources.
  
• Wave: Several consecutive waves of enemies followed by a boss.
  
• Hoard: Loot spawns around this Relic frequently, with chances to find some rather valuable items.

Showcase your guild's identity with our new Heraldry system! Design unique tabards that represent your guild throughout the world of Nave. Create distinctive patterns, choose your colors, and display your guild's prestige with this comprehensive customization tool.

• Heraldry is a guilds-only feature.
  
• Tabards are only available for players that are part of a guild.
  
• Tabard visibility can be toggled in the character window with no additional items required.
  
• Access the heraldry designer via the in-game menu - anyone can access the designer, but only guild members rank 8 or higher can apply designs.
  
• Base cost for applying heraldry is 2000 gold and 50000 Prominence.
  
• Additional cost of 100 gold and 5000 Prominence per guild level.

As many of you may have guessed, this is the secret feature which was displayed as a question mark on the Sprint 8 Roadmap.

Essence Orbs are a brand new type of item which has been added to the game, in many ways acting similarly to the existing trinkets, however with some key differences.

Essence Orbs are glass orbs containing a magical essence, which when broken and absorbed, impart various different interesting effects onto your character. Each Essence Orb has two primary effects and two secondary utility based effects. Some of these effects are quite unique, and can augment gameplay in interesting ways.

• Discover Essence Orbs, fragile containers of swirling, magical essence, each providing different types of augmentation and potent enchantments.
  
• Similar to trinkets, they grant unique effects and will need to be identified once acquired. Unlike trinkets they do not lose charges upon death, however in order to unequip them you will need an “Empty Essence Orb”, which is sold by the Magic Vendor.

• Added support for Group Tasks, these tasks are multi-step tasks that require you to finish more than one objective to complete the task.
  
• Almost all boss tasks have been turned into group tasks. These new tasks are meant for larger groups to do while doing a dungeon run.

• Updated the pagination of the Broker to use the same system the new matches and leaderboards use.
  
• Minor updates to the Mail UI.
  
• The Broker UI has been overhauled and is now much larger than before.
  
• The Broker sorting has been moved into one drop box instead of being two clicks.

This update marks the most extensive balance pass and overhaul to pet gameplay we’ve ever made.

Currently, there are 36 tameable pets with Beast Mastery abilities, each featuring 4 abilities. In total, there are 144 Beast Mastery abilities, each with its own set of stats for damage, focus costs, and applied buffs.

Nearly all Beast Mastery abilities have been updated, resulting in over 500 value changes. Every creature has received individual attention, with each one being adjusted to better fit specific combat or utility roles.

• You can no longer set your pet to attacking or use beast mastery skills if you do not have enough pet points to control it.

• Pets now gain XP when close (within 30m) to their owner who gains Glory from combat.
  
• All pets now have different amounts of experience required to level up. Weaker and more easily obtained pets require less experience per level than stronger and harder to obtain pets.

• How much Focus your pet has no longer affects damage dealt by passive pet attacks.

• When using a Beast Mastery ability which buffs your pet, it no longer needs to be in combat to activate the ability.
  
• You no longer have to aim at your pet when it is attacking for it to gain maximum focus per tick.
  
• Pets now always gain focus above their focus threshold if they are either in combat or being ridden.
  
• Beast Mastery skill now adds +45 focus per tick at level 100, added to the base amount of +5 focus per tick. This means Focus will tick up at a rate of 50 at 100 Beast Mastery skill.
  
• Focus gain is now no longer doubled when targeting your pet or your pet's target during combat.
  
• Fixed issue where Pet Leveling did not update your available pet points.
