Weekly Update 288: Warriors - Assemble!

Let us welcome you to the new Glory Season! The top players of last season have earned their rewards and titles, so it's time to compete against the others and fight your way to the top of this season’s ladder!

A little explanation for the new players: Glory is a season-based ranking which rewards you for activity in the faction v faction v faction PVP. The seasons last 2 months and are rewarded with unique titles, as well as gold. Also, every Thursday night you’ll get Contribution Points – an in-game currency used to purchase special items from the Glory Quartermasters. The amount of earned CP depends on your position on the leaderboard, so climb up it!

As always, we start the new season with bigger changes. This time we have another – after the warmly welcomed Fishing and Archaeology, as well as the updated Treasure Hunting – Character Development tree: Disassembling! We also took the chance to improve this economy branch by giving you, the players, even more means to gain wealth and, most importantly, to co-create the game’s economy. We’d also like to remind you that with the introduction of every further Character Development tree, we’ll be giving free experience in amounts depending on your character’s level.

We are also happy to open the global test for the highly demanded "Return to Character Screen" feature. You can use a /relog command on chat to test the functionality and help us gather information and surety, that everything works correctly.

Check the new changes and have fun in the game!

Changelog v.0.9.8.3 Beta

Disassembling & Crafting Update:

From now on, Disassembling is an activity that you can develop in the same way it’s already done for Fishing and Archeology. This time, though, you receive a much more massive tree than before:

On top of that, we updated the Disassembling flow itself. Until today, it was nothing more than an additional activity used to level up the crafting professions. The salvaged items were not attractive enough to meet players’ expectations, and, except for the very first tiers, Disassembling didn’t really allow creating other items using the salvaged materials.

Starting today, by disassembling items you will gain the most salvaged materials in the form of scraps and in quantities depending directly on the number of materials required to craft those items. Also, there are now modifiers for the amount of salvaged materials to account for the disassembled item’s quality and durability, as well as the player’s progress in the Disassembling tree of Character Development.

Since with a fully developed Disassembling tree you will be able to get from full durability and highly enchanted items almost all resources back, is now a very viable choice, allowing to recycle a lot of the resources, and at the same time helping to develop players characters and supporting the ingame economy and trading. It will be also a great opportunity for PvP players, who would be able to disassemble the looted items for much more reward than previously, and put the resources on market anytime or reforge them into valuable gear.

Other improvements to Disassembling and crafting:

– From now on, you can disassemble items easier, using a special key combination by holding Alt and clicking on the item with Left Mouse Button. Disassembling will be more convenient that way, and more player-friendly. Also, we did an additional bool to switch the on/off confirmation
