Demeo X Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked gives players an early holiday gift

The fine folks at Resolution games have offered players a few early holiday gifts (or right on time, if you celebrate Hanukkah) to Demeo X Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked players. 

The first present under the tree is a limited-time holiday-themed mission featuring Dwelf Jollykeg (a new character added to the Ramshackle Inn just for the occasion). Players that finish the quest unlock a unique holiday dice skin - check out the image below for what that looks like. Neat!

But even more excitingly, Resolution has delivered on the promise to unlock the ability to build full solo parties from their own custom heroes, without needed to resort to using "Hirelings". Now players can take an entire team of their own dudes out for a spin, and the whole team will progress via gained XP, which is a huge win all around.

The need to use hirelings to build out a solo party (you could only take one of your created characters at a time) was probably the number one complaint players had at Battlemarked's launch. It is a testament to Resolution Game's fan-friendly responsiveness that they have resolved the issue so quickly and completely. In addition to these updates, the team also rolled out new multiplayer controls that will allow players to reassign hirelings and change turn order mid-adventure. They've also committed to translating the game to a number of new languages, opening the doors to still more fans.
