Last weekend we took part in the biggest gaming event in the Central Europe – Poznan Game Arena! We had a chance to watch thousands of players trying Gloria Victis for the first time. We gathered tons of feedback on the first impressions, so this update mostly addresses the top priority issues we have seen during PGA. There are also further changes to the Azebian starting areas and optimization improvements.
Full album from PGA can be found here!
Enjoy and see you in battle!
