Black Eye Games, die Entwickler von Gloria Victis, haben am 13. März 2020 das Update 0.9.2 veröffentlicht. Dieses Update bringt neben der Einführung der Mounts auch eine weitere Glory Season.

Alle Einzelheiten zum Gloria Victis Patch, gibt es hier (Englisch):

Mounts

Introduced an entire skill tree for horsemen made of 16 new passives related to horse riding and mounted combat
Due to the introduction of new passive abilities, every character receives a free abilities and attributes reset – they can be claimed at the Notification Center for the next 14 days
From now on, shooting a bow when riding a horse causes slowing the mount from sprint to running speed – this change was made to balance the horse archers, as it was literally impossible to escape them since they weren’t slowed down when shooting but the enemy horses were slowed down when being hit
From now on, the character of a player who’s quitting the game will automatically dismount before the quitting process starts
Optimization improvements to horses seen from larger distances

New Glory Season

As it has been announced, yesterday was the last day of the previous Glory season – a day where gaining Nation Points is not possible and the scoreboards of other season-based rankings (Glory and Arena) are frozen, except for the Guild ranking as players donate their NP to the guilds on this last day, helping their guild climb up the rank table

For this reason, by the start of each new season each player’s Nation Points are wiped, giving every guild equal chances to win the new season and encouraging guild members to donate NP to their guilds.

So today is the start of a new season. It’s your time to climb up the ladder and fight for the rewards yourself. Good luck earning your fame!

Balance

According to release of horses, which allow travelling faster than before, we have decided to promote more fights and open PVP across the world of Gloria Victis. For this reason, we made a change requested by the Community and restricted the Fast Travel to the guild provinces. From now on, you only can Fast Travel with the home command to the 5 closest Guild Castles which are linked to your nation’s capital city. Also, with this change, it will be harder to capture a province right by the other nation’s capital to quickly move large forces there and harass the enemy at the edge of the nation’s homeground. It’s still possible to capture such a guild province – you will simply need to travel there on your own – and you can still respawn in a guild province disregarding its location or links.

To increase the overall value of the guild provinces, we have added 2 features requested by the players which are pretty hot! Details below:

The Fast Travel has been restricted to the 5 closest Guild Castles but every guild province has a new upgradeable building: Transportation Spot. Once it’s been built, every player from the nation can Fast Travel to such a guild province via Logistician – as long as it’s linked to the Capital. Moreover, 23% of the fee spent on a Fast Travel to the guild province will be moved to the bank of the guild controlling it, rewarding it with extra earnings for opening for cooperation with allied players.

The changes to Fast Travel mean that it will be more difficult for a nation to control more than 5 guild provinces at once. For this reason, we’ve decided to reward the players willing to face the challenge anyway by adding a new multiplier to the Guild Points generated for the guild provinces controlled by a nation. Every guild castle controlled the by nation increases the number of points generated for officers of the guild owning the castle by 10%. Following the Risk vs Reward, it is harder to control more guild provinces but their worth is increased – a nation can get up to 70% bonus of Nation Points generated by controlled guild provinces.

To sum up – we have finally released the horses, so Fast Travel to the Guild Castles gets restricted to promote more open world PVP. On top of that, we keep working on new content to be added in the central part of the world to initiate more PVP encounters there. At the same time, we increase the worth of the GCs for the whole nations and earnings of the guilds controlling them.

Other balance changes

Added time-based nation buffs for controlling guild provinces – from now, if your nation loses the 2nd or 1st province, you will keep the buff for next 7 days to encourage next fights. Capping the flag just for a while during the SoW is also counted as losing the province!
Updated walls layout at Ulfgard – unlike Seaclaw, which is on the same link, Ulfgard used to have 3 gates with direct roads to them; the central gate has been removed to improve the balance on this link
Increased Contribution Points price from 15620 to 25620 for scroll of Nation Change – many players requested to even block the nation hopping (we remind that for the balance purposes, there is a free nation change to an underdog nation if a situation on a given server demands it)
Updated “For the homeland!” buff, reducing its time down to 5 minutes and its max stack from 4 to 3 – the change was done because at the max stack of this buff, it was impossible to loot something else than materials from a buffed player because of so much reduced respawn time; also the time was so long that players were buffed long time and miles away from the buffed location

Quality of Life

Updated interacting with traitors – from now on, reviving a traitor is only possible for other traitors and players with Friendly Fire trigger enabled, and is punished with the traitor status too, the same way as it happens when looting an ally player
Added a skin to the War Two-Handed Hammer designed by one of the players
Updated the position of Maximus, an NPC allowing the Sangmarian players to donate Nation Points to their guilds – he can now be found at the capital’s central square, near the spawnpoint
Updated the Sea Wraiths/Abandoned Route world events, adding optional subevents to complete while going through the main event to receive a guaranteed reward
Updated the balance of NPC enemies at Sea Wraiths
Added gates protecting both of the starting areas at Sea Wraiths to protect one team from being smashed by the other
Updated the damage dealt by the Spy NPC appearing in Defend the Spy!/Kill the Spy! events

Fixes

Fixed a bug in the players‘ synchronization causing a 1-frame-long delay between sending and receiving the network data, so when the server was working with maximal framerate, the synchronization was delayed by 16 ms, and even more, if the framerate was lower due to heavy traffic
Fixed a bug causing that some NPC guards or enemies didn’t deal damage to the players
Fixed a bug causing glitching the animations of other player’s character after mounting, unless the player made any movement
Fixed a bug allowing to mount on a horse from an unlimited distance, as long as the player could aim at it with the cursor
Fixed a bug causing that the damage received by a horse didn’t have any sound
Fixed a bug glitching the character’s controller and logging the player out of the game when dismounting a swimming horse or mounting a horse while swimming
Fixed to the placement of reported glitchy resources
