changedToday, we are announcing the end of the current Glory Season, introducing some changes in combat, and a lot of fixes, thanks to your feedback and reports.
changedWhen developers are continuing our work on the two biggest milestones that we need to achieve to release the 1.0 version of the game and leave Early Access – Reshaping the game world, and changes to Guild locations and SoWs, our moderation team is preparing some changes and improvements in our rules and penalty system, and how you can access them.
addedWe also put our hands on a professional mocap suit, so we will be able to create new animations for Gloria Victis in-house. This is a nice addition that will make our game much more detailed, and introduce more life to the game world and NPC behavior.
addedGlory SeasonRemember, that this week is the last of the current Glory Season! The New Season will start on Thursday, the 14th of July. Also, we’d like to remind you that the last day of the season – Wednesday, the 13th of July – will be a dedicated day of the season's end. You will not earn any Nation Points during that day, and it will be the last bell to donate the one you accumulated to your guild. The top players on the ranking table will earn great rewards and nice titles, so it’s time to compete against the others and fight your way to the top of the ladder!
addedGlory SeasonA little explanation for the new players: Glory is a season-based ranking that 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!
fixedCombat changesOur aim is to have a combat system as clear and intuitive as it is possible, so any unnatural feelings should be addressed. It simply looks weird when a player was able to change the attack direction indicator repeatedly and very fast, especially in the eyes of less experienced players. On the other hand, such maneuvers were not really effective in combat, simply burning stamina, and being easily countered by combat veterans.

Unnatural feints spam
After long and constructive conversations with our community on our Discord and Social Media, and after processing a lot of the ingame feedback messages, we decided to take a closer look at some aspects of our combat system. Feinting spam, what was the topic of the discussion, proven to be troublesome in some cases.
Our aim is to have a combat system as clear and intuitive as it is possible, so any unnatural feelings should be addressed. It simply looks weird when a player was able to change the attack direction indicator repeatedly and very fast, especially in the eyes of less experienced players. On the other hand, such maneuvers were not really effective in combat, simply burning stamina, and being easily countered by combat veterans.
Our combat designers came up with a few solutions that will reduce the usability of the feint spam tactic and make it easy to counter:
We are slowing down attack attempt time after some quick feints spam, so a player who will spam feints in a short window of time will release his next attack slower, which will give his opponent a window to land a strike. It seems obvious that making such a fast series of moves should make our hands tired or throw us out of balance a little, and make the next strike slower.
