Dear ArcheRagers!
Currently we are actively working on 5.0 "Relics Of Hiram" global update.
In this thread you can share your thoughts on the update as well as provide the ideas and suggestions you have.
For your better understanding of the upcoming updates, we prepared the list of 5.0 main aspects that you can find by following the LINK. Custom updates are not included!
These are not the final updates and some of the information will be changed/updated further based on the players feedbacks and our custom updates planned.
Q&A:
Have you already started working on 5.0?
Yes, though we are still working on some updates that we want to introduce in 4.7, we are already actively working on 5.0 and it's aspects.
When should we expect 5.0 release?
Release date is n/a as for now. But if we speak about the approx time, then I'd say around 2 months. May be a bit more or a bit less. We still have a lot of work to do on 5.0.
Will we have PTS?
No, in the past it didn't prove its effectiveness, so we chose to abandon this updates implementation model.
Are the patch notes already released accurate?
Patch Notes that you can see right now for 5.0 don't include any custom updates or changes. They only provide the details of 5.0 main aspects, some of them may still be changed. And custom updates are going to be included later as well. When the complete list of updates is ready, it will be posted separately in Updates section of our Forum.
What can you tell us right now about custom updates that are expected as a part of 5.0?
1. As you know old trade system will be fully removed as it's no longer supported by the game client. Due to it some custom events will get changes as well.
2. Player Nations will no longer exist and players will return back to their home factions. Former PN guild owning the castle will keep it.
3. We are also considering adding Exile System with 5.0 release. That should bring more balance to the factions.4. Another challenge for us is a 64bit client. If all goes well you can expect it as well. But it will be confirmed closer to the release date.
Final Patch Notes that will also include the exact release date and Custom updates will be posted at a later date.
Thread is now open for discussion.
