Legacy Accounts, Shadow Costumes, and More!

Chromatic Games  

DEFENDERS,

We’ve been hard at work trying to get our first patch out to you all that has some additional goodies. We’re looking to make good on our word, providing our early supporters with some rewards and options to look stylish as well as play with newer Defenders much easier. Let’s just get right into it!

New Content and Features For Early Supporters

Shadow Costumes
Shadow Costumes have been added for anyone who purchased Dungeon Defenders: Awakened before the 1.0 launch. We will be handing them out automatically in the next few days.

Legacy Transfer Tool
We’ve added a Legacy to Play transfer tool. This tool has a one time use that replaces your Play data (heroes, gear, and progression) with a modified version of your Legacy data (heroes, gear, and progression). This is what happens when you use this tool:

  • Delete any characters and gear obtained through Play.
  • Transfer your Legacy characters and gear to Play.
  • Reset all Legacy gear upgrades.
  • Refund the gold spent on upgrades to a bank cap of 300 Billion.
  • Apply 1.0 balanced max upgrade levels on your gear.
  • Disable further play on Legacy.

We initially announced this tool would be available to players for a week, but have since decided to provide it up until our next big update that brings Massacre Survival and some other unannounced goodies. We’ll be getting a roadmap out for our updates and general plans as part of our continued transparency efforts, but this should extend the period for this tool by several weeks, giving Legacy players plenty of time to get their saves over. This is only available to those with Legacy profiles.

Updates
