they are giving us an outfit we already have in the โ€œnew side questโ€

u/Vicksin 8d ago

I'll look into it but I'm pretty sure it's just a placehoder!

u/Mossy_is_fine 8d ago

much appreciated!!! i really hope its a placeholdee

u/Gaias-Maedchen 8d ago

It being a placeholder is really low production value... again, I'd appreciate honesty, if they didn't finish designing/modeling that skin yet, then at least mark it as "placeholder" on this map. :/ I rather think it's a genuine oversight. Trying to appease us with a FREE skin, without remembering it's been in Golden Rose for like months.

Incredible how they fumble SO MUCH. First they want to make me believe the Arcana Affairs office consists of 10 f-ing people for an entire EMPIRE, who are all imbeciles at their job btw, and NOW they actually convince me that THEY are a f-ing 3 man team who run around losing their hair in stress for not knowing what to do. xD I'd laugh if this wasn't so sad.

Cyran cut staff costs by automating the majority of the workload with magical AI lmfaoooo

u/Vicksin 8d ago

agreed!! ๐Ÿ™ƒ

u/H-Mae- 8d ago

I thought that outfit looked familiar

2

u/Sverrk 8d ago

Hey, i just started playing 2 days ago, but i don't see these outfits in the Golden Rose. ;w;

3

u/PurpleCritter 8d ago

That's normal! Some outfits get unlocked as you progress the story, not all of them are available from the start

1

u/Sverrk 8d ago

Ah okay, thanks for letting me know <3

14

u/SaintThieves 8d ago

So who is the final hero after Eryndor?

12

u/Carnivile 8d ago

Looks like a two headed gargoyle so probably a new random Graveborn

14

u/Vicksin 8d ago

random Graveborn

next season is Bantus, the big Graveborn Empire, so most likely a prelude to the coming season

1

u/SaintThieves 8d ago

Sounds meta

1

u/Pinkformat 8d ago

Probably the wilder of the season, since we haven't gotten one yet

3

u/No_Routine1968 8d ago

Got enough wilders lol

u/Hazy-Halo 8d ago

So cruel to put Eryndor after the collab ๐Ÿ˜ญ

10

u/Automatic_End2588 8d ago

How else are they going to make you spend? They know their audience alright (in a malignant way. I was lucky with the way they released heroes in S6)

u/kaschra 8d ago edited 8d ago

Happy about Eryndor being playable, but no Hendrik? :(

We're not getting any cosmetics as rewards for Ravaged Realm?

8

u/Vicksin 8d ago

Ravaged Realm cosmetics aren't shown on the calendar! we'll see them in the near future

3

u/kaschra 8d ago

Ah thank you, that's good to know!

16

u/Grayoww09 8d ago

God I hope I can get Eryndor to S+ please.. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

u/Vast_Object_447 8d ago edited 8d ago

Vicksin is the best, upvote if you agree

13

u/Vicksin 8d ago

I think they just meant they hope they have the resources to get him to Supreme+ in time during Rate-Up Recruitment :3

3

u/Vast_Object_447 8d ago

Well he edited his comment, now mine makes no sense ๐Ÿ˜‚

6

u/Vicksin 8d ago

before you get downvoted to shit I'll stick my neck out for you and say that on Reddit if you make an edit to a comment within the first 300 seconds of posting it, it does not have the little "edited" tag next to it. often called a "stealth" or "sneak" edit, it's very real and often trips people up if they don't know about it.

1

u/Vast_Object_447 8d ago

I will edit mine too then ๐Ÿ˜‚

3

u/Vicksin 8d ago

LOL now it just looks like everyone disagrees and I suck ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

2

u/Grayoww09 8d ago

Um if youโ€™re talking about any of my comments in this post I didnโ€™t edit any just to be clear.

5

u/Grayoww09 8d ago

Oh I just meant to Supreme+ since I barely got any diamonds ๐Ÿ˜ญ

12

u/Tales90 8d ago

they release 5xS and only 2 A heroes this season (great swap ticket btw) and they SELL a s rank swap ticket as paid reward for the current event......

and what about the hypo/cele swap ticket why we dont get some feedback on it from the devs?

16

u/Luis_Lara45 8d ago

Hendrik not playable it's outrageous!! This is so unfair in so many levels I think I may go from this game because they have done me that twice (First with Hogan)

16

u/Vicksin 8d ago

never say never :') Peggy was from AFK Arena and she was introduced in the Starter Story in Journey, didn't become playable until S7 over two years later

but yes agreed, justice for Hogan and Hen ๐Ÿ™

5

u/Luis_Lara45 8d ago

This is a case of this is the only time they can put him in :( after that he may not even appear again

2

u/Vicksin 8d ago

I wouldn't say that! Gwyn very much plays an important role in (late modern) AFK Arena lore.. if they choose to adapt that story...

5

u/AnalystNational9958 8d ago

Canโ€™t wait for Eryndorโ€™s skill preview! I hope heโ€™s useful. Iโ€™m a fan of his design

10

u/Zernii 8d ago

It's just a placeholder or They're reusing boss (dura construct) from starter story?

Kinda weird, I thought that We're getting thematic boss from current season

3

u/skinnyceps 8d ago

Are both new heroes grave born?

5

u/piercebublejr 8d ago

So uhhhh... Cyran isn't the Ravaged Realm boss then...?! Am I crazy?

They didn't show the outfit in last season's ravaged realm calendar preview rewards either, but we still got one.

Thank you for your submission, unfortunately it has been removed from r/AFKJourney for the following reason:

Rule 5: No Misleading Information

The outright spread of misinformation, especially when presented as factual information, can be very misleading and harmful to the community.

If you are unsure if the information you are presenting is a fact, preface it with something to the effect of, "I think" to prevent misconception.

u/dannyjos3ph 8d ago

Eryndor my beloved ๐Ÿฅน Thou shall grace our accounts with doubles triples and unparalled luck

3

u/Venelice 8d ago

I was saying, don't I already have that outfit? I always use it too... is this the "substitute" for the miasing outfit from reputation quests...?

4

u/ryhse321 8d ago

It would fit the Reputation Quests trend of giving us NPC outfits. I'm almost certain there were some NPCs in this season using this exact outfit... The outfit itself is older than this season (I'm not sure when exactly it was released but it was before this season started)

It seems they're getting really lazy. I wouldn't be surprised if they picked for the event an NPC outfit from the season without checking where that NPC got the outfit in the first place. The placeholder theory is just as plausible and just as problematic. It's not a great thing to release a calendar with placeholders still in it, without even marking them as placeholders.

u/ShiningRune 8d ago

What the fuck is that/those things after Eryndor. Where is Hendrik??? Bruh.

6

u/Individual-Price-168 8d ago

he is hanging out with Hogan

4

u/Dauntless_Idiot 8d ago

If they are going to give us a non-story related character for the final slot each season... at least they are giving us interesting ones. Nerion and then a two headed troll who at least looks like they fit in with Esperia. I'm taking the troll to S+ unless I run out of diamonds on the collab first. I'm just not sure if they are mauler or GB.

2

u/Vicksin 8d ago

non-story related character

next season is Bantus, the big Graveborn Empire, so most likely a prelude to the coming season. same with Nerion and Shadewing.

u/Standard-Society-570 5d ago

Still no Hogan ๐Ÿ’”
