Update to version 8.33
Dear players,
Our new update will be released on Tuesday, the 3rd of March, between 10:00 and 11:00
The main change with this update will be the integration of the mentoring system. Please note that the mentoring system will not be available for all players from the start, you will find more information in the dedicated section.
As usual, the worlds will be unavailable for a couple minutes during the update.
Please let us know what you think of the content in the discussion thread!
Mentoring System
A new feature will be available in the game for both experienced and new players: Mentoring!
The system will pair new players needing guidance with more experienced ones, so that they can learn a bit more about the game and receive helpful advise.
The mentors and apprentices will receive small rewards from it, and we hope that this will help new players joining our game, as it can be quite complex for them.
The system is introduced by a quest, leading you to the Mentoring screen, situated in the "Profile" section.
If you are identified as a mentor, you will have to sign up and see your suggested apprentices.
If you are identified as a potential apprentice, you will see a list of suggested mentors.
Once a match is found, the mentoring screen will look the following for the apprentice:
and the following for a mentor
Different options are available on both sides. It is important to note that the mentor can see his apprentice's village, in order to estimate his development and help him accordingly.
The mentor can then create quests for his apprentice, to help him get a good start in the game or learn some new tricks.
Different quests are available and should cover most of the needs of a starting player.
An apprentice will have the possibility to rate his mentor, and also to dismiss him if he feels the relation is not successful. Please remember to always stay courteous in the mentor/apprentice relationship!
The mentor will have the option to dismiss his apprentice if he has gone inactive.
Once the apprentice conquers his second village, he will graduate and part with his mentor. With time, he might become a mentor himself! The mentor can then move on and train other apprentices (a mentor can have 3 apprentices at the same time)
Please note that due to the complexity of the new feature and necessary observations from our side, not all players will be recognized as apprentice or mentor from the start. It will take some time before all players are considered.
It will also not be possible to request a specific mentor for now, but this is an option we might implement in the future.
We hope you will enjoy this new feature and don't hesitate to share your feedback about improvements/suggestions you might have. You can also have a look at the Mentoring System in our InnoGames TV episode of March (in English).
