(BETA) NEW BATTLE MODE – Open PvP

As we return to the roots of our original vision, we want to place a stronger focus on proper open-world PvP encounters. For this reason, we have decided to implement a new mode that closely imitates open-world PvP, while ensuring balanced team sizes - addressing one of the biggest issues that often makes open-world PvP unfair.

Mode Overview:

  • Designed to closely resemble open-world PvP
  • Duration: 30 minutes
  • Map: Nighty Ardir (open map) – more maps coming soon
  • Kill Counter (similar to Death Match)
  • Players use their own equipment with theirs own effects
  • Respawn at Monk after 5 seconds
  • AP Rewards: 40 AP per kill, 25 AP per assist
  • Performance bonus:
    • 1 extra chest per 10 kills with maximum of 5 chests

BATTLE MODES

While returning to vanilla roots, we realized that battle modes should never be the sole defining feature of our server, yet feeling special. Therefore, we have completely revised the battle mode schedule and reduced the total number of modes per day.

  • The battle mode schedule has been completely reworked, including a reduction in the number of daily modes (the new schedule will be published soon)
  • We implemented an additional balancing system to prevent scenarios such as 10 vs 9. Player counts on both teams should now be always balanced (e.g., 9 vs 9)
  • The new system also includes a compensation reward if a player registers but is not selected or the mode does not start:
    • 3 Battle Mode Chests
  • Rewards have been fully reworked, with Battle Mode Chests once again being the main reward. Their quantities have been adjusted.
  • A static participation reward has been changed:
    • Battlefield Coin – 8 coins per battle mode (different amount for FoG)
  • The mode info now displays all classes currently registered, allowing for better balance. Classes are listed in the same order as in the code, making it easier for players to understand how class distribution works
  • If a player registers for a mode and minimizes the window, they will now see the current queue size next to the timer

SKILL SYSTEM

  • (Evocator) Summoned monsters no longer have their cooldown reset when recalling
  • (Archer) The Soul Shadow skill no longer reduces movement speed by 20%

REWARDS

  • Rewards in most chests have been fully reworked and updated
    • New items have been added, while some existing items have been reduced

ELARION

  • Elarion duration has been increased from 5 minutes to 20 minutes
  • New schedule:
    • 1:30 AM, 8:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 3:00 PM

QUALITY OF LIFE

  • Mystic unsealing speed has been increased by 2.5x
  • Indicators have been added to All Chat to distinguish factions:
    • [All – V] - Valorian
    • [All – D] - Derion

MISCELLANEOUS

  • The Carrier Horse NPC in Keter has been moved closer to the city center
  • Various UI adjustments and fixes
