Eterspire 62.0 - Bastion Challenge: Reforged!

Argentine Game Expo (EVA2025)

Eterspire will be participating in EVA2025, the Argentine Video Game Expo! We're proud to be one of the main sponsors of the event this year, and we'll have our own booth — a very important achievement for us! EVA will take place on November 7 and 8 (from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM on the 7th, and from 4:00 PM to midnight on the 8th), so if you're in Buenos Aires, we'd love for you to stop by! We'll be posting a patch note here afterward with photos and a recap of the event.

EVA2025 People's Choice Award

As part of the event — like every year — there's the People's Choice Award, given to the most-voted game at EVA! Last year, Eterspire won thanks to the amazing support from all of you, and this year we want to do everything we can to win it again!

To vote for Eterspire, just go to www.eterspire.com/eva and click the blue button that says VOTAR JUEGO. You don't need to register, but if you'd like to leave a comment too, we'd really appreciate it! Competition looks tough this year, so every little bit helps!

If we win, there will be rewards for the whole community — so stay tuned to the Eterspire Discord, where we'll be announcing them soon! If Eterspire wins, everybody wins!

New Content, Features & Improvements

  • A new quest: Going Through the Potions. Help a group of witch sisters brew a peculiar potion for Vestada's Potion-Off Contest! Start this quest by speaking with Piper in Vestada.
  • Monster encounters in the first 20 levels of the game are now much more engaging, featuring different enemy aggro types and the addition of ranged mobs. We're experimenting with these changes to make the early-game grind more fun, and we'll be rolling them out to the rest of the game soon.
  • We buffed the Perfect Draw skill for Archers, increasing the bonus damage at early levels.
  • We've greatly strengthened our moderation and anti-cheating systems.
  • When you defeat multiple enemies at once, the experience points you gain are now added together and displayed as a single value.

The Bastion Challenge: Reforged!

We've made several improvements to this game mode based on community feedback. Our hope is that these changes will make the Eternal Moonlit Bastion a more worthwhile and engaging experience for endgame players, and give them more incentive to try out new builds and team compositions, push for highscores, and farm lots and lots of Bastion Points!

  • The Bastion Challenge now grants experience points for every wave cleared.
  • A new and improved reviving mechanic: after your first death, teammates have a 10-second window to revive you using a healing ability. This existed before as an unintended side effect (a bug), but it's now a proper mechanic.
  • Starting from wave 70, you can now skip some of the earlier waves based on your personal best. The number of waves skipped depends on whether you're playing solo or in a party (you will have to set a new personal best, though, as we weren't tracking your personal best in previous updates).
  • Upon reaching the 100th wave, every fifth wave now awards an extra Bastion Point.
  • A bug that caused enemies to hit double damage has been resolved.

Eterspire Store

  • We've now completely removed all items that might be considered pay-to-win from the store (that could still be found in some special categories).

Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue that made it difficult for Archers and Sorcerers to hit certain flying enemies.
  • Corrected the Fireborn Gear for Archers to display the proper level requirements and tier.
  • Fixed a visual clipping bug in the Sakura Blossom set.
  • Cosmetic sets now align correctly on the hip and no longer show transparent seams where they connect.
  • Fixed a camera bug that caused it to clip through ceilings in the Frozen Moist Glacier.
  • The Archer's Rapid Shot and Ultimate abilities now display their intended visual effects.

Other News

  • 289 accounts have been banned for using modded clients, which is against the Eterspire Rules. Burn!

Community

  • Our Discord has surpassed 10,000 members!!! Thank you to everyone in this incredible community!
  • Our Halloween Costume Party Contest has ended. Your entries were super creative and absolutely hilarious!
  • All event participants have received the 'The Spooky' epithet, and contest winners have received their crystal rewards.
  • A new special community event begins later today, with the biggest crystal rewards we've ever given out!

We hope you enjoy this update very much! We'll be back on November 17th with more!
