Return of Reckoning

Weekend Warfront: Unforgiving Seas



During one of the recent battles upon the Inner Sea, one of our vessels foundered upon the rocky shoals of the Isle of the Dead. What is worse is that our enemies have done the same. Now both sides scrabble for parts from the many other wrecks so that they may escape the island before their souls are lost. We must ensure that our allies escape that dreaded place.

Two ships have run aground while moving through the storm-wracked seas of Serpent' Passage. One of these vessels belongs to the High Elves, while the other is of Dark Elf origin. Both ships carry valuable supplies that we must claim if we are to gain an edge in this war. At the same time, we must deny these resources to our enemies.

This weekend Unforgiving Seas 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 Serpent's Passage scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.

Good stuff!

Really glad to see the changes in the Items section so gear progression is easy to follow for newer players. People have been debating/confused over the Fortress wep stuff for months, so the clarity is great.

Thank you for also fixing Garden of Qu'aph!

:/

finally the 4 new people are not confused anymore

The new status page looks like a convenient tool

good stuff for a small patch. nice server status.

woohoo! I can finally Touch-a-Corpse~

I'll be THAT guy now.

Is the team planning on fixing any time in the near future the myriad of bugs that have been accumulating not the least of which is the broken Apathy/AAO system and renown inversion?

WHAT THEY SAID!
Fix bugs that cripple the mechanic and make RvR participation pointless!

Yes to both.

We're working on something in the background that should make a lot of these bugs a lot easier to be fixed. More information will come along as progress gets made but it's something that is taking dev time now so that it can save it moving forward. It also means other people will be able to help with a lot of the issues due to knowledge entry level being reduced.

The bugs that got fixed this week are just ones I could fix on the side - it wasn't a case of the developers working on these instead of others.

Also re: Apathy and AAO, I'll take a look.

A Balance patch would be very good till end of the year..
