| Summary | 0007018: Help getting to a new continent | ||||
| Description | I had to go to the forums to find out how to get to a new continent. Suggest one or both of the following: * The Tips & Advice section should have a section about getting to new continents; how to do it, and what happens when you get there. * After unlocking a new continent, the Things You Should Do section should include "Go to the Next Continent". | ||||

I agree. It's not entirely clear at the moment that the ports, those wacky little things on the waterfront that you looked at maybe 30 minutes into your game and discovered that they are useless, are what you now must interact with to sojourn on. |

Very good points. For now we have done the following for 0.924: * When an overlord is killed, everyone on the server (or just you if you're playing solo) now gets a popup message telling them this has happened. There's a bit of funny text in there, and it explains what happens next including that there is another continent with a new overlord now opened up. For players who haven't read external materials, that wasn't going to necessarily be obvious. However, we're also going to do what you suggest for probably 0.925. |

Okay, part 2: * Whenever your character is not currently on the most recent continent, a "Visit Other Continents" item now shows up in the "Things You Should Do" section of the planning menu. It reads: ** Thanks to our valiant glyphbearers' efforts to overthrow any overlord that surfaces, there are now [number] continents that have been discovered in the world. ** The most recent of those continents still has an active overlord. You can keep adventuring on older continents for as long as you like, but you might also want to look into the doings of this latest despotically-inclined creep. A hero's work is never done! |

Part 3: This was added to the Tips & Advice section -- *How do I get to a new continent? **To get to a new continent, enter a port region on the map screen, then press Confirm. This will put you on a ship that can take you to the next continent. Once you are on the ship, you will see notes around the edge of the map that point you in the direction of the new continent. *What happens on a new continent? Do I get to keep my stuff? **When you travel to a new continent, you will notice that not everything is able to come with you. Any upgrades you have made to your character will come with you, as well as any loot items like crates or platforms. Spells, on the other hand, do not come with you to the new continent. You will have to do missions on the new continent to build up your stash of spells just like you did on the first one. |
