The Tavern Forge

Countess Revealed!

2011-11-19T10:06:00.001-08:00

The final new class from the "What's This?" teaser image has been revealed today!

The Countess, seems to be a female version of the Squire. And in my opinion, I feel it is the best looking new character!

The Initiate and Adept Revealed

2011-11-18T04:40:00.001-08:00

From Left to Right; Ranger, Adept, UNKNOWN, Initiate.

Looking good so far!

I'm not sure if I like the hair of the Adept but I think the Initiate looks great!

The Ranger Revealed

2011-11-16T13:21:00.001-08:00

The Ranger, a new class was revealed today in the DunDef Digest on the Dungeon Defenders Forums.

As you can see from the picture, the ranger looks very similar in style to the huntress, however he will have his own set of skills (and hopefully turrets).

I'm hoping for some good long range physical damage turrets!

What's This?!?

2011-11-14T10:17:00.001-08:00

What's this?!?

Was posted on the wiki the other day, after it was found in some of the Development Kit resources.
And was just recently posted on the Dungeon Defenders Facebook Page.

It looks to me like new costumes for the classes, or alternate genders for the character, or perhaps new characters all together!

We will have to wait to find out!

The most important features are the modding tools and support for the new PVP capture the flag DLC gamemode, which has not yet appeared on the steam store.

Videos like this make me see the full potential that this game has for the modding community. I for one cannot wait for some more awesome content, by modders and Trendy themselves!

Dungeon Defenders Secret Room QR Code

2011-10-23T05:04:00.000-07:00

After completing the main campaign on any difficulty you unlock the secret room in the forge, inside here there is a variety of Easter eggs. If you look at the inside of the safe, where you get your parents weapons, there is a QR code on the inside. This is hard to see but if you face away from the safe and then look up you can sort of make it out.

I cropped a screenshot down in paint, and then ran it through ZXing, you get the following text.

TEL:3524748087

It is what appears to be a phone number, and after a quick google search, it appears that the phone number's source is Florida, which is good as Trendy Entertainment are based there.

I have yet to ring the number, I am most likely not going to ring it at all, however, after searching for the phone number I found this thread on the Dungeon Defenders Official Forums, and apparently it is just an automated response.

Dungeon Defenders Release

2011-10-22T10:35:00.000-07:00

3 Days ago Dungeon Defenders was released on Steam, Gamersgate, Direct2Drive, Impulse, Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.

Metacritic shows the games great success and my personal opinion of the game inspired me to create this website with detailed guides, tips, news, artwork and videos all based around Dungeon Defenders.

If you haven't yet bought Dungeon Defenders, I recommend the PC version, the requirements aren't demanding and then of course there is mod support. You can get the game through different on-line download services, I recommend buying through Steam, however it's a personal preference and the game is the same either way.
