Gloria Victis v.0.9.9.8.1 Beta Update Patch Notes

Penalty for dying in a fight

Dev team has introduced a small death penalty.
Deaths in combat will now attract a reduction in a character’s durability b 3%.
Additionally, the durability value increases with character development, which means that any death penalty will reduce your armor tree.

Changes to movement in combat

In order to make the combat more dynamic the movement speed in combat has been adjusted.
Backward movement faster than before.
The team has adjusted the forward and side movement to fit.
Thus, lone players in 1vX scenario will have a better chance of maneuvering between opponents and increase the chances for survival and even winning.

Changes to horses in roaming combat

From now on, players on a horse can not put the player into combat mode after hitting you.
At the same time, if you summon a horse in the open world, it will show up with no stamina, instead of half stamina. In turn, the horses are still viable in battle. However, it will be more difficult for bigger groups to use the horses to catch solo players.

New events in the middle of the map

Introduction of two new events that will occur exclusively in the loot zone. The new events will give a better incentive to roam in the middle of the map for small parties, as the gain from these events will be better for small parties.

Great Hunt
This event is a copy of the hunting event by the capitals.
Now, this event will also show up randomly in the middle of the map, providing more valuable resources for players roaming in this area.
Challenge for the Bold
Challenge for the Bold is an event similar to the “Supplies for the Bold” event.
It will show a location on the map that, after 60 minutes will be visited by a special event NPC “A Messenger with Supplies”, who will drop top-tier items and recipes as a reward!
The event will only show outside of the nightlock, so be sure to get to him fast as, similar to the Kargald Champions, smaller groups will benefit more from the reward!

Better shadows

Enable the SSAO checkbox in Graphical Settings to enjoy the system of Global Ambient Occlusion. This system will enhance the game visuals by improving the rendering of shadows.
With this addition, the atmosphere of the game and the overall visuals should look better than ever!

Following the UI rework, our artists have taken some time to rework the scenery in the login menu!
The dev team have connected the new one to the previous one thematically. However, there’s a great improvement on its graphics and fidelity.

The team will also release the last part of the Achievement Window rework — the summary tab. This new additional tab;

Horse Skins

With this update, we are also introducing skins for horses to the game.
These new skins will come in a form of a consumable that can be applied to a horse.
The application will remain on that particular mount until the player decides to release the mount or apply another skin.
After buying the skin it will be possible to apply it to a horse from the Stable Manager UI.

Quality of Life

The option to show the legacy version of the powerbar is now displayed in options. Players can enable it in the Interface Settings tab.
