Patch Day: The Next Level
Well, soon after that little adventure, D:WW's first patch came out: The Next Level. As you can imagine, this patch unlocked the Mega level, which nobody would be achieving for quite a while. However, Toei decided to add some other 'changes.' Here, let me show you the patch notes.
Players can now reach the powerful Mega level, rewarding them with powers beyond imagining if they can survive that long!
With a new level unlocked, new enemies have appeared, ready to send the unworthy to their dooms! Megas are wandering the landscape; some are friendly, others are ready to kill. Can you combat these newfound enemies?
New areas unlocked: Forgotten Summit, Black Tomb, Abysmal Sea, Ancient Pit.
New Level: Mega.
Added wandering merchants.
Digivolution requirements for most Digimon reduced.
Enemy Digimon can now Digivolve.
Drop rate for items in Great Beach lowered.
Some Digimon now have levels followed by a +. This indicates that that particular Digimon is more powerful than normally. While providing more of a challenge, these Digimon drop items of much higher quality.
A new ability has been added. When a player Digivolves in battle, they gain the 'Data Surge' buff, increasing damage, health, defense, and speed for the remainder of the battle.
We are aware that some Digimon are bugged, becoming unable to delete. If you encounter one of these Digimon, please contact a Moderator.
No, those aren't all of the notes. And, yes, I was more than a little upset at that fourth change. I found it interesting that Toei would 'add' the ability for NPC Digimon to Digivolve when it was apparently already in the game. Our little group figured out the truth about this change not too long after we all reached Ultimate. That was the day that changed our lives forever.
Anyways, this was the first of many patches to be released for D:WW, one of which included player-run shops. Now, that one was fun, especially if you had a lot of healing items and a good reputation for helping other players.
Yes, I was working on this and Chapter 5 at the same time…Well, until next time, ja ne!
