Welcome to another post-apocalyptic update. Somehow I’m still alive…

Forum Event

You may recall that the forums were upgraded with a new system some time ago. While the use of forums may have diminished since the onset of social programs like Discord, they still hold a spot on the internet for sharing information and resources that may require more permanence, such as guides, old software, and other communications.

From today up until August 1st, create an account on the forums and reply to a post (or create a topic) on the forum to be awarded with 5000 Zenny. There isn’t really any set direction I want the forums to take (as long as it isn’t spam) so feel free to post about whatever, but please make at least a minimal effort in your post!

In addition, you might start finding random coupon codes in places all over which will give you one time discounts on items in the zenny store. The forum might have one such code stickied somewhere…

Twitch Channel Points (Temporal Bugfrags)

I’ve played around a little bit with the Channel Points feature Twitch introduced, and for the most part I believe the current setup is what will remain for the long term. Keep in mind that this is not replacing zenny; I’m mainly keeping channel points as a small indirect boost that can be entirely ignored if you so choose.

Our Channel Points are known as Temporal Bugfrags. They are reminiscent of the Bugfrags currency we use in Discord. I named it “Temporal” since these points are vastly more insignificant than the Bugfrags used in Discord (The real reason is I liked how the theme of “Temporal” and “Time” was used in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time). The points can be used to unlock small silly rewards that can only be done through Twitch, but the most important one I want to point out is:

  • Temporal Distortion: It is said that this may cause your Temporal BugFrags to coalesce, and grant you a small amount of BugFrags [50-400]. (Access to the Discord Server is required, otherwise nothing will happen!)

As it says on the tin, redeeming this will simply give you a random roll of 50-400 Bugfrags which I will add to your Discord handle. I decided on this in order to give the points a tiny big of usability, since there are many folks who are far behind Bugfrags in the Discord; however I didn’t want to introduce a broken way to gain Bugfrags and break the system. Let me know if you think this needs further tweaking or price adjustments. In the end though this is just a way to make the channel points a little useful, so there’s no need to worry too much about it.

Ranking System Update

In the Ranking System page, I wrote that there was a possibility of adding additional ranks based on the Mega Man Starforce 2 Tribe On system. For folks that have surpassed the Black Ace rank, there are now 4 additional bonus ranks you can obtain:

  • Tribe On: Thunder Zerker [1500 Hours]
  • Tribe On: Wood Ninja [2000 Hours]
  • Tribe On: Fire Saurian [2500 Hours]
  • Tribe On: Tribe King [3000+ Hours]

One note to remember is that these are simply bonus ranks for those that have already reached Black Ace; they are not requirements for the Ultimate Thanks reward in the zenny shop. This is simply meant to give a goal to those that have already achieved the ultimate rank.

The Ranking System page has been updated to reflect the new changes.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone part of the community that watches and participates. At the end of the day, every viewer, subscriber, and lurker in the community helps us keep going just a bit further!
