Hello warriors!
How is your summer? Here in Poland it’s really hot! Hot so much that we worry about plants out there… and in Gloria Victis, since from the the last update you can plant your own seeds (and place your tent and campfire)! That’s why we’ve just added ability to pour the water on your crops. Moreover, you can also use it to stop the fire in player-placed campfires and burning walls!

This update also includes several improvements to the farming system, such as new event happening during the plant’s growth, fertilizing crops with rotten food and removing ownerships over the plants after certain time. There are also many tweaks and fixes to other system, as well as blood trail effect displayed on attacking enemies!
Moreover, [Europe] Eaglewood server has just been moved to a stronger machine so its’ performance will be better during huge PVP clashes. We’re aware it won’t solve all performance issues, we have just found another issue causing servers’ performance degrading over time and we’ll be focusing on fixing it in the upcoming week.
Also, don’t miss another PVP event this weekend! The event will start on Sunday at 8:30 PM GMT and will take place in the arena on the [Europe] Eaglewood server. Join us and fight for glory in 5v5 battles!
See you in battle!
