changed🔧The maintenance will focus on routine server checks & operations. All players will be receiving the following as compensation for the recent maintenances and consequent server downtime:
changedTop feedback under investigation:Introduction of a search feature (release targeted for Y3S3) and improvements to current sorting filters (release targeted for Y3S2)
changedTop feedback under investigation:Balancing pass to increase Sea Monsters difficulty and/or reduce infamy gains from Sea Monsters in WT3/WT4 (release targeted for mid-season Y3S1)
changedTop feedback under investigation:More accurate contribution-based rewards for World Events (release targeted for Y3S2)
changedTop issues under investigation:Kraken not dropping rewards
removedTop issues under investigation:Dev note: While we continue investigating the root cause, we've implemented, Thursday 11th June, a temporary change aimed at improving reward distribution for Kraken encounters by removing the minimum contribution requirement. If you contributed to the fight, you should now receive rewards when the Kraken is defeated. This is a temporary measure while we work toward a more accurate contribution-based reward system for World Events in the long term. To note, some players may still encounter reward issues in specific situations, such as being sunk and rejoining the encounter shortly before the Kraken is defeated (within the final 80 seconds). We're actively investigating the issue and will share further updates as we learn more
