Weekend Warfront: Slaughter Hills



Reikland Hills, a key point of defense in the guarding of Altdorf, have come under assault by the forces of the Raven Host. Those hills afford an excellent position from which a siege could be launched on the city. Make haste to the Hills and secure them for your realm!

This weekend the Slaughter Hills will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Reikland Hills scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.



Combat and Careers

General Changes and Fixes

- Action Point regen should be more consistent when Global Cooldown or casts end. Should be more similar to Mythic servers Action Point handling. Hotfix reverting it for now, better fix in next patch hopefully.

- The 1.5 second Global Cooldowns are now more strictly checked and the server will no longer allow casting abilities slightly before the Global Cooldown ends.

- Several buffs and debuffs that were classified wrongly have been fixed. So what client and server thinks is cleansable or shatterable should now match better.



Bug Fixes

- Cleave Limb: Corrected Action Point cost to match tooltip value (from 25 to 30)

- Primal Fury: Corrected Action Point cost to match tooltip value (from 40 to 45)



Ranked


- Trophy items for ranked season 4 have been added to ranked vendors.

Weekend Warfront: Road to Madness



There is rumored to be a great source of power deep in the Chaos Wastes. The Maw of Madness as it is called is undoubtedly being used by our enemies.

There are two fates branching forth for you. In one, you storm the Maw of Madness and claim the magical power for your realm. In the other, you wander the wastes a mewling spawn of wretchedness. Which would you rather see come to pass?

This weekend Road to Madness will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Maw of Madness scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.



Realm versus Realm

City Siege

Player kills in cities now drop 2 crests extra.


Fortress

If there's more defenders than attackers in stage 3 the timer will tick down faster.


Zandri

The schedule will now rotate between the different time slots instead of picking one at random.



Interface

Profanity Filter

- The profanity filter has been adjusted and a lot of words have been removed. Furthermore, some words will now only star out the words instead of muting players. However, some words or phrases will still result in a mute. As before please contact us if you feel you have been muted incorrectly.

As a further note, the profanity filter is not an excuse to engage in harassment towards other players. Harassment and any other behavior that violates TOS can still be reported via in-game chat by right clicking on the name of the person sending the message. GM's will process and handle these reports as normal.

Notice

Chat Profanity Detector

[02 May Update] - Initial optimization of the system is done.
A profanity detector has been added which will mute players in public channels until further action can be taken.
We will need to spend some time tweaking the system so if you feel you have said something which was not inappropriate then please feel free to open a ticket or contact a Game Master.
Please keep in mind that we will be tweaking the system and we highly appreciate your understanding and patience.

Weekend Warfront: Battle at the Gate



The Phoenix Gate guards the entrance to the inner lands of Ulthuan; soft rolling landscapes where in more peaceful ages the Ellyrion Horselords bred Elven Steeds. Now the plains are filled with signs of war – siege engines and corpses litter the landscape as Order and Destruction forces vie for control of the Phoenix Gate and all that lies beyond.

This weekend Battle at the Gate will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Phoenix Gate scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.

Realm versus Realm

- NA East (00:00 Altdorf time) - this hour will be adjusted as per NA community feedback

- NA West (03:00 Altdorf time) - this hour will be adjusted as per NA community feedback

It's a community-driven show that offers you a whole new perspective of the RvR lakes, the battles, scenario matches and much more!
This show will also host staff appearances from time to time, in a casual straight-forward discussion with the host and viewers.

X2 RR/XP/INF

Eastern Wyvern Live Event



This live event will run until the end of Monday April 25th 2022, probably. Look man, it's an invasive species. Just because they largely coincide with when patching is done to "turn them off" or whatever doesn't mean you should take your time for granted. Everything might just end this week for all we know. Make the best of your time, crack some eggs, get out there and explore the world while it's still here.

Rewards:

Basic: [Potion of Acclaim]
Advanced: [Eastern Wyvern Hatchling Mount] [Clipped Wyvern Wings]
Elite: [Eastern Wyvern Egg] [Eastern Wyvern Egg] [Eastern Wyvern Egg] [Eastern Wyvern Egg] [Eastern Wyvern Egg] [Eastern Wyvern Egg] [Eastern Wyvern Egg]



Weekend Warfront: Assault on Black Crag



Karak Drazh was once among the mightiest Dwarf strongholds of the World Edge Mountains, but was taken by the Greenskins during the Goblin Wars. Strategically placed at the western end of Death Pass, it guards the approach to Karak Eight Peaks. Today known as Black Crag, it is the most powerful Orc stronghold.

This weekend Assault on Black Crag will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Black Crag Keep scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.



Realm versus Realm

City Siege

Increased the amount of War Crests earned per stage in city for a win or loss.

Before:
Win: 10 * City Rank
Loss: 4 * City Rank

After:
Win: 20 * (stage + cityRating)
Loss: 5 * (stage + cityRating)

Reason behind this change: The time investment for normal scenarios is about the same as the previous amount (excluding bags), and City is now a time-restricted and time-scheduled event. In order to encourage participation in City Siege content which currently has little incentive, we have majorly boosted the amount of crests given. City is optional content as it stands; there needs to be some incentive to participate/compete. The amount rewarded for a loss, while still significantly lower than a win, is still much more than it was before and is in line with slightly more than losing in a non-scheduled standard scenario for an hour long.

ORvR Influence Rewards

Greatly reduced the influence requirements for ORvR T2/T3/T4 influence rewards and changed the order of Influence rewards.

The first reward is now always an item for level 18, the Second reward is for level 27, and the third reward for lvl 37.

Reason behind this change: Players outleveled the influence rewards before they could even earn them.
It wasn't unusual for players to already be 40/60 and they didn't even have full influence in lower Tiers that would only reward them with (useless) low level items.
Hopefully this change will fix this problem.

Old Influence Requirements:
(First/Second/Third reward)

• T2: 3520, 7040, 10560
• T3: 6950, 13900, 20850
• T4: 17970, 35940, 53910

New Influence Requirements:
(First/Second/Third reward)

• T2: 1175, 2345, 3520
• T3: 1175, 2345, 3520
• T4: 3520, 7040, 10560

Weekend Warfront: Thunder Valley Rampage



A battle's broken out down at Thunder Valley. Seems the greenskins have found the secret workshop where Dwarf Engineers are developin' new engines of war. Thunder Valley's importance to the war effort can't be overstated. Quick now, go join the fight. We need every warrior we can get down there!

This weekend Thunder Valley Rampage will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Tuesday Altdorf time (intentionally extended to cover the delay on Friday). You get +50% XP and Renown in the Thunder Valley scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks. Completing all tasks will grant the title: "Thunderous Veteran".


Scheduled Weekend Warfronts

Starting from next weekend, we will start scheduling weekend warfronts up to a month in advance in order to prevent any further unexpected delays. Community Management and Developers will align in order to make sure the rotation of scenario types is preserved while also taking into account any Live Event SC that may interfere.
