| abstract | - Hello and welcome to the first feedback update of 2010! Last week's update was pretty big (our second ever grandmaster quest!) but that doesn't mean we can't make it better. We've been looking at your feedback and we've made some changes, not just to the quest, but also to the minigame itself - Soul Wars. To start, we've improved the reward for the quest itself because many of you thought it was so challenging. You will now get 100 zeal points as a reward. If you got 70 points before this update, the extra points can be claimed from Zimberfizz. Now for improvements to the other reward - the Soul Wars cape. The cape can now teleport you directly to Soul Wars a maximum of 10 times. Once all these charges have been used up, the cape becomes unwearable and will need to be recharged with 15 zeal points at Soul Wars. As a little extra bonus, we've also added the ability to change your cape to green as well as blue and red. As many players have noted, this new cape seems to decrease the value of the quest cape so we've made some additions to that as well. Remember all those elite achievement diaries a few months ago, well now there's a cape to prove to everyone that you've completed all those tough tasks - an Achievement Diary cape! This has all the same bonuses as the quest cape but with a different emote and a different seller - Explorer Jack. But we're not just releasing one new skill cape - we're releasing two! For all of those players who have tried long and hard to get there hands, or ears, on all that music then this is the cape for you! Once you have unlocked every track in the game, visit a new musician in Zanaris to buy your cape. In order to provide an emote for this new cape, the Air Guitar emote now requires max music and the music skill cape itself to activate. You may be wondering: This is great but how does it improve the quest cape? Simple! The music, achievement diary and quest points capes all trim each other, just like skillcapes! We hope the new bonuses of the skill capes help restore some of it's old value. That's not all. As I said before, we've made some improvements to the minigame Soul Wars itself. To prevent the all-powerful clans dominating every game, the only way to enter a game is through the green balance portal. To stop those annoying saboteurs, you can no longer set up barricades in supply areas - whether it be your team's supply area or the enemy's supply area. Finally, in an effort to make games even more exciting, we've made sure you can only play Soul Wars on a designated world. So head over to World 143, 44 or 145 and get fighting for that zeal. That's all for now, bye!
