A new mini Questline Event is upon us – it started in Beta World 31 May 2018, and runs until 10th June.
We expect it in the Live Worlds soon, probably a week later.

This is a look at the structure of the Event, and an introduction to our Event Note with strategy tips.:

When will the Days of Music event start for us? I'd like it to be announced well on time, so that we know a day and a time.
Would be nice to be able to prepare properly, especially for those of us with ridiculously long scouting duration.

Remember that they are expecting us to spend diamonds :)

It would be good to know its coming and that there is some way to gain them beyond 10th chest in tournaments .. not all of us are here to put everything we have into tournaments each week.

Something I'd like to add here is that beyond the biggest hurdle of not being able to build or upgrade due to loss of pop/culture is the loss of goods and resources from low culture. If you add that up over time it comes to a lot and imo many are feeling under attack by Elvenar to their very core of existance in this game.

If Elvenar thinks they have this debacle covered .. I can assure them they have only seen the tip of the iceberg thats melting fast in the summer of discontent

HTML5 IS ON ITS WAY!
The first testing of HTML5 to replace the crash-prone Adobe FlashPlayer has started in Beta World!
Chrome browsers only, for now.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear Humans and Elves,

It is time. While Flash has made the internet a better and more friendly place, and allowed us to make Elvenar possible, the authors OF Adobe's Flash Player have decided to stop supporting it by the end of 2020. This means that in order to make Elvenar playable beyond that point, we need to move away from the Flash technology. To achieve that, we are creating a Flash-free version of the game, using the HTML5 technology.

Today, we are proudly presenting the first Beta version of Elvenar running fully using HTML5, without any Flash content. While this is Beta, we believe that the quality is now high enough to share it with you, our Beta community, and we want to ask for your feedback. We aim to iron out any bugs and polish the HTML5 version to be at least as good and smooth as the current Flash client.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FLASH AND HTML5 ?
The main and most important difference is that Flash Player is a plugin for your browser that is required for you to run the game. If it was not installed and enabled, the game simply wouldn't launch. By moving to HTML5, we are able to run the game directly in the browser, with the natively supported technology.

WHAT NOW?
Now is the time that we ask you to provide your feedback on the new HTML5 client. Of course, we are also encouraging you to make us aware of any and all problems that you notice while playing the game. As with all bugs, we are rewarding Diamonds for every newly found, valid bug report that is reported in our forum's Bug report section.

HOW DO I PLAY ELVENAR USING THE HTML5 VERSION NOW ?
First of all, we need to mention that the first Beta version is currently only playable with the Google Chrome browser. The reason for that is that HTML5 is basically handled differently from browser to browser.

Don't worry if you prefer using another browser: we decided to make it available on one well-known browser first, so that we can already start gathering your feedback. All the other major browsers will of course be supported in the future. As we cover more browsers, we will also continue improving performance on those we already support.

As of now, every Beta player can switch the game to the HTML5 version by going to Settings and enabling it manually. You can do this via the following setting in the ingame settings window you can find via menu at the bottom right of the game:

The game will then be reloaded and from that point on you will be using the Flash-free HTML5 client. This will be represented by a small badge in the corner of your screen:

This badge is of course only shown temporarily, until the full release of the new client. It is simply there to make it easy to recognize which of the clients you are using: the one using Flash, or HTML5.

Naturally, we are not forcing anything on you - you can switch back to Flash any time you wish during the Beta phase. We are steadily moving forward with the release of the HTML5 client, but we will not be rushing it. We have enough time to adapt our game to the new standards, while also having the possibility to take in your feedback and use it to help us improve the game and its performance.

We are convinced that with your help, we will make Elvenar playable for years to come!

Let's make Elvenar an awesome HTML5-based game together! :)

As said, should you find any bugs or errors, please report them via the bug report section. https://beta.forum.elvenar.com/index.php?forums/report-a-bug.28/

It would also be incredibly helpful if you could clearly state whether you enabled HTML5 or not and if you'd provide screenshots when you encounter any problem.
NOTE: Making these is very easy with HTML5 in Chrome: just right click in the game and choose "Save image as...").

Thank you so much for your help! We're looking forward to discussing these changes with you, as well as hearing your feedback. Please share your thoughts by posting in the discussion thread!

Kind regards,

InnoGames have started testing HTML5 in Beta World, with the view to its eventually replacing FlashPlayer entirely. The big browser programs will be discontinuing Flash support within a year or so – so this is a forced change. This should eventually be a positive step, because FlashPlayer has a habit of crashing our games far too often.


Here is a short video explaining the change:

It seems there are going to be some differences in quests between beta and live in the new event, that could make finding spoilers a bit harder.

Yes that’s what they officially announced. Also by reading beta players 1st feedbacks, it seems they want to change the usual event quest format with new approaches.. Lets see how it comes out in live.

Note:
The quests that we saw in Beta will not necessarily be the same as the ones that come to the Live World.

Please feel free to share this Note with your friends.

All suggestions and corrections are most welcome!!

There will be a companion video to follow tomorrow - the one I made today had a broken sound track
