Gloria Victis: Medieval MMORPG changes
It’s been over a month since Gloria Victis 1.0 release and we are happy to see so many of you enjoying the game! And if you still don't own the game, it's a perfect time to get it 35% off and start your epic medieval adventure!
With most of the post-release work over, we believe it is the right time to share more information on the upcoming updates for Gloria Victis!
Server-side optimizations
Our core programmers are working on a few improvements to the server-side optimizations. This is a task of significant importance, as once we are done with this task, not only will the servers be more stable, but the change will enable us to further increase the player cap across the servers.
This change is a very needed step towards bringing back the new Guild Castles and State of War systems. Finishing the work on the server-side optimization will let our core programmers continue the development of these very important and much-desired features. We can’t wait to share some more information on these systems in the future!
The return of the Valley of Death Tournament
The changes to server stability will also give us the option to re-enable the Valley of Death Tournaments on the New Beginning Servers. They needed to be temporarily disabled due to a bug making certain players invisible upon returning from the event. This has been caused by the amount of data for the servers to process once moving so many players across servers.
In our eyes, Valley of Death Tournaments is an important part of the gameplay as it enables players to join daily massive PvP with equal numbers, and enables players to test their skills and cooperation, as well as obtain valuable rewards.
We are planning to perform some tests of the Valley of Death later this week, so keep an eye out for the invites for that event in-game!
New Siege Valley of Death Tournament mode
Our priority is to bring back the Valley of Death Tournaments, as they are a fun and important part of gameplay. We plan on adding some more flavor to this mode by introducing a special Siege Mode, hosted on a map exclusively designed for that game mode.
The new map and mode will feature a massive siege, designed to host battles for even hundreds of players, with several layers of defenses, where one of the nations will be defending the castle against the other two nations. We cannot wait to see this map being played by our Community and are really looking forward to seeing all the interesting tactics and fights taking place in that unique mode.
This game mode will be a great playground for us to test and improve new siege mechanics that might later be implemented to the open world sieges, as well as State of War battles!
End of the Glory Season
We will be announcing the end date for the current Glory Season soon. We want the end of the season to be tied with the introduction of some major changes, so before we can reveal the date, we want to make sure that these features will be ready for that date.
A 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 around 2 months (depending on the current updates schedule) and the top players are rewarded with unique titles and gold. Also, every Thursday night you’ll get Contribution Points
