Fansite Appreciation Day 2023 - Tell us a joke!

Leferty on 24 March 2023 11:51:09 · Read More · 0 Comments · 4359 Reads

Hey, hey, hello!

FunTibia is teaming up with TibiaLife for Fansite Appreciation Day to give YOU a chance to grab one of our Fansite Items! 

We're happy to bring you the contest of Tibian jokes! That's right, TIBIAN JOKES. It's time to get your pencil, bite at the tip and start thinking.

We'll accept jokes in the form of a tale, where you tell the whole joke, like this: "A dwarf enters a bar and, jumping in front of the counter, asks: 'Give me a Fanta.' (...) 'Give me a Fanta!' After a while with no response, he complains: 'I'm leaving, no one answers me.' When he passes by the side of the counter on his way out, he sees another dwarf behind the counter, jumping and saying: 'Grape or orange?!'"

And we'll accept jokes in the form of a charade, where you ask a question and gives the answer, like this: "What's is the favorie movies of the pirates of Nargor? 'The Incredible Hook'".

As we can see in the examples, the joke may involve elements from out of Tibia, but it MUST involve elements from inside Tibia.

So, are you ready to makes us laugh? Take inspiration on your favorite comedian and send your submission!

Check for extension of this news for detailed rules, and Fansite Appreciation Day 2023 article on Tibia.com for other contests prepared by different Fansites!

Best of luck!

Winterlight Solstice

Lilly on 17 March 2023 19:29:00 · 0 Comments · 172 Reads

Can you feel the frozen wind coming from the sea? Do you feel the coldness spreading across the land?

Those sudden weather shifts are foretokens of the Percht Queen's awakening! Her frozen kingdom is a stronghold of neverending winter! Shielded by perchts and schiachs, she holds sway over the snow-clad island with an iron fist.

It is said that no gear or cloth can withstand the withering cold that comes from her halls. Even the most daring warriors who sought to breach her throne room iced over on their way and were shattered into a thousand bits by her ruthless thralls.

As of server save on December 22, a boat, that ferries over to the frozen realm will be at anchor near Svargrond's harbour. Once you have set foot on the island, you should talk to Frosty. The friendly snowman will tell you more about the icy place and its shaggy inhabitants.

At the end of the event (server save on January 10), all game worlds will receive a whole week of increased respawn rates (x2) while mana & health points regenerate twice as fast.

Conquer the Percht Queen's frozen realm!

Dear Tibians, after evaluating player feedback and, of course, considering the current popularity of the special features, we decided to make some changes to features and content of the Winter Update.

So without further ado, let us get down to business.

What has changed with todays server save?

General changes to the Wheel of Destiny

The duration of the Avatar spell has been increased from 11 seconds to 15 seconds.

We changed the arrangement of some perks within the Wheel of Destiny to break up obvious and overly common paths, to improve general balancing, and to spice up some domains.

We have fixed the issue regarding the incorrect calculation of added capacity.

Knight-specific changes

Battle Healing: The amount of healing per challenged creature has been doubled.

Executioner's Throw: The base damage has been increased. The cooldown has been reduced from 22/18/14 seconds to 18/14/10 seconds. Additional targets raised from 1/2/3 to 2/3/4 per stage.

Augmentation Front Sweep: Aug II damage has been increased.

Druid-specific changes

Blessing of the Grove: Healing increase changed from 4%, 6%, and 8% to 6%, 9%, or 12% if the target has less than 60% but more than 30% of its hit points. Healing increase changed from 10%, 15%, or 20% to 12%, 18%, or 24% instead if the target has less than 30% of its hit points.

Augmentation Strong Ice Wave: Aug II grants a higher damage increase for Strong Ice Wave.

Sorcerer-specific changes

Beam Mastery: The damage bonus of this spell has been further increased from 8%, 10%, or 12% to 10%, 12%, or 14% per target.

Focus Mastery: Damage of your next damaging spell within 12 seconds after casting a focus spell* is now increased by 35% instead of 25%. *Hell's Core or Rage of the Skies.

Paladin-specific changes

Swift Foot: We have fixed the issue that Swift Foot cancelled the effect of a Bullseye Potion or other resources that grant a distance fighting bonus.

Changes to "The Cradle of Monsters"

Reduced critical hit damage dealt by the Boss Doctor Marrow.

A few passages with monsters have been created in Deeper Ingol levels 2 and 3 to make them more valuable hunting spots.

Changes to "Galthen and the City of Gold"

Reduced damage spikes dealt by the Boss Ahau.

Lava fields are now less deadly.

Additional Fixes

Absorbed damage on fields no longer triggers a sound.

The display issue regarding random hints pictures has been fixed.

Specialized magic levels are now displayed correctly in the skill widget.

At this point, once again, a big thank you to everyone who has helped and continues to help ensure that the new features and content are constantly improving.

We hope you enjoy the latest adjustments.

Stay tuned!
