Weekly Update 344: Arrival of the Myrmidon!

While the majority of our team is constantly working towards the upcoming release of Gloria Victis 1.0, we are doing our best to bring new features and provide Quality of Life improvements for you to enjoy every week!

This week we are bringing to you new skin, fixes, and QoL improvements, and a very important announcement about our plans for the weeks to come!

Let’s take a look at this week’s changes:

Changelog v.0.9.9.7.1 Beta

Myrmidon Skin

We are introducing a new cosmetic skin set to the game using a mix of heavy and medium items. The new “Myrmidon” cosmetic skin is waiting for you in the supporter’s shop (default: [K]).

You won't find a warrior more devoted to the team than Myrmidon. Their squad is like a family: they eat together, sleep together and go into battle together. Everyone has a partner for whom he is responsible and cannot abandon him, even if he lies dead on the battlefield.

Adjustment to the shield bash mechanics

Last week, we have implemented a new way of performing a shield bash, and in response to our Community’s feedback, we have decided to implement an option to bind a shield bash to another key than the default. From now on you will be able to find a field in the keybinding options. After binding a new key to the shield bash, it will be possible to perform this type of attack by clicking the bound key while holding a block with a shield. What is more, binding the new key to shield bash, will make the “kick” button perform just kicks, meaning that it will work exactly like before the last week’s changes.

Every-two week Video contest

We cannot stress enough our happiness and gratitude to see such nice videos posted by our active community! This week, we have chosen a few combat videos, that will be rewarded with the main reward of 2000 ambers:

Yotad, for his video highlighting the finest moments of his guild throughout the recent seasons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gLhlcXB1bg Ruffion, for a fine compilation of battles in a 2 man squad.
