Updates

Important

As you know, Prestige is the main indicator of the character’s power which grows with each season. In Season 9, some players could reach a billion Prestige! While it sounds impressive, such numbers can be hard to read.

“Old” Prestige will stay the same: it will be called “points of Prestige” which you earn to reach the next rank.
So, for example, if you had 109 million Prestige before the update, you will be Rank 127 (Prestige points: 109 000/116 000) afterwards. Which means that once the character gains 116 million points of Prestige, they will reach Rank 128. To make keeping track of your points easier, we added a new progress bar to the interface

  • Prestige is now measured in units that are easier to read. Actual values of Prestige for the new invasion will be between 140 and 150. Previous Prestige value is called “points of Prestige”. It is displayed as a progress bar next to the Prestige indicator.
  • Fixed the issue where players that fall behind in Prestige did not receive Military Development Projects in reward for fulfilling directives. We will do a recalculation at the start of the next season of the invasion.
  • Bases on Thea now have tabards ready for the next Pantheon War.
  • You can now survey the equipment, stats, symbols and adepts of another character. To do this, aim at the character, press “G” and select Character Info in the menu.
  • Bonuses to Might in the Hall of Trophies now add 2, 2, 3 and 3% per rank (making it, +2%, +4%, +7% +10% instead of 1, 2, 3, 4%).
  • Trewang's Idol and Flavius's Emitter are now cheaper (12 000 Victor's Medals instead of 20 000).
  • Legendary weapon is back in the Wardens of the Wasteland Collector's Edition.
  • Fixed the issue where enhancements received in the Cathedral worked in the Battle of Equals.
  • Fixed the issue where the remaining spots in a group could not be filled in distortions and in battle against the avatar.
  • Fixed the issue where players could still gain followers after reaching the season limit. The limit of Season 9 is 200 000 followers.

However, players who stay in that spot will not receive the reward for defeating the boss.

PvP

Lugran Research Base

Fixed the issue where characters could get stuck in a column.


Companion

  • The companion’s Revive Master ability has been improved. When a character is not part of a group they can resurrect in battle once a day. They recover part of their health, gain a shield, and enter a state of rage for 7 seconds, which increases their damage dealt.
