Weekly Update 297: Brace yourselves! Winter is coming!

Winter is coming, so the time has come to devote yourself to constant vigilance and get prepared for one of the best updates we put together for you this year! This week everyone will find something nice for themselves in the changelog: weapons changes and balance for warriors, quality of life improvements and fixes for crafters and gatherers, legions of new players for mentors and guilds, and huge sales for our supporters.

We are introducing a new weapon type – lances, and unique stances related to them. Mounted knights will be now able to couch lance and charge at their enemies, and footman soldiers will be able to brace with a lance to break the cavalry charge and defend their lines.

We are also happy to introduce the next part of the User Interface overhaul – you can now enjoy the new Vendors and trading windows, fully adjusted to the new layout and visuals.

As always, we prepared some quality of life improvements and fixes, which were made thanks to your reports and feedback. Also, as we are starting a Black Week Sale in our Supporter Shop – you can get the cosmetic skins you always wanted at a huge discount, and find new, Black Knight Chainmail skins there! Smash that [K] button!

Thank you for your continuous support and see you in the game!

Changelog v.0.9.8.12 Beta

Black Week in Gloria Victis’s Supporter Shop!

On the occasion of Black Friday, you are receiving a huge discount for every cosmetic Skin, Skin set, and usable item in our ingame Supporter Shop. Discount will be available just for a week so do not miss the occasion and get yourself a nice skin set and complete your collection!

As players suggested, and we agreed, based on the experience with armor skins changes earlier – we are extending the possibility to wear weapons cosmetic skins to purple items (tier IV). From now on, more of you will be able to use your skins and stand out on the battlefields.

In the Supporter Shop, you can now find highly requested and most wanted Black Knight Chainmail cosmetic skin!

Spears, guisarmes and lances

As you may remember, we made some changes to two-handed spears after receiving a lot of feedback telling us that those were quite unbalanced and overused on the battlefields because of their great range and damage dealing possibilities. It was one of the easiest weapons to use in chokepoints, and the weapon type which was responsible for the most kills in the game, leaving any other weapon type far behind. Changes had to be made on those matters, and as we are aware some players were not happy to see their favorite weapon nerfed, we can agree that this temporary solution was a good move, in the long run, correlated with further updates, and plans which we are making real today.

We believe this iteration of the weapons system will be warmly welcomed, and we are asking for your help to test those changes in action, to make sure if there are any tweaks that need to be made.

We know that you will find it reasonable, that we cannot give players ultra-fast spears with great range that cover half of the battlefield. It was destroying the close combat because players were forced to use the same kind of weapon or stand
