The current Guild Season is reaching its climax, and it’s time to start preparing for the next. With the launch of the Albion Europe server on April 29, some significant changes are coming to the way seasons operate. Read on for an overview of these changes, so you can get ready to assemble your forces and fight your way to glory.
Season Names
Starting with the upcoming Guild Season, we’re simplifying the naming conventions for seasons across the three servers. For this reason, next season will be called Season 23 on all servers, avoiding a confusing situation where the season has a different name on each server.
Prime Times
With the launch of Albion Europe, we’re taking the opportunity to rework Prime Times across all three servers in order to better suit activity periods on each. Each server will now have six Prime Time slots (rather than seven), and the windows on Albion Americas are now more condensed, encouraging constant action from start to finish. Albion Europe’s Prime Times fit this pattern, covering ten hours in total.
Here is an overview of Prime Times across the servers (click to expand):
As you can see, Castle and Castle Outpost chests unlock one hour before each server’s Prime Time window, one hour after, and on every hour between Prime Times. With this in mind, the lock duration of Castle chests has been reduced from 120 to 60 minutes.
Additionally, it should be noted that World Bosses on Albion Asia will now spawn every even-numbered hour (UTC), to avoid colliding with the maintenance window.
Season Winner Statues
With three servers from Season 23 onwards, Season Winner Statues will be the same across all servers, and will no longer be designed by the guilds themselves but rather by the Sandbox Interactive art team.
With Fortifications, Siege Banners, and all the other changes coming to territory warfare with the Foundations update, Season 23 promises to be truly action-packed. For the season schedule and rewards, check out this forum post. See you on the battlefield!
