Hello warriors!
A new weekly update is live! It introduced several interface and balance improvements. First of all, we’ve added much more advanced filters to Market window and NPC shops, so it will be much easier now to find goods that you are looking for. In effect, the overall experience will be better for players who enjoy the Gloria Victis player-driven economy. We’ve also improved the balance of world events’ rewards and food/hunger balance, both being requested by our Community. There are also changes to drop rates and prices of specific items, which was necessary to improve the game’s economy.
Moreover, some of you could have noticed a debug server which was running yesterday. The part of our team, which is continuously working on improving the servers’ performance, has managed to find one of the remaining memory leaks which cause the servers’ performance degrading over time. This specific issue has been already fixed and we’re now focusing on the remaining ones. It’s hard to say how much this fix will improve overall experience but it’s a significant step for us!
Check out this week’s changes and see you in battle!
