Horizons Patch 2 - Version 27.020.1 - November 20, 2024
Translate
This patch makes some adjustments to features introduced with the Horizons update, along with combat balancing and some other important changes and fixes.
Season 24 Winner Statues Unveiled
The statues to honor the winners of Season 24 are now viewable in each server’s Conqueror’s Hall. Congratulations to the triumphant guilds!
New Boss Lairs
The Boss Lairs introduced with the Horizons update have been revamped, with new layouts and visuals that better communicate their status as a faction boss hideout.
There is now a new Boss Lair for each faction (Undead, Heretic, Morgana)
The +200% loot bonus for Boss Lairs has been removed, but now there are 3 chests instead of 1
Each Boss Lair now contains only the boss, and no other mobs
Their entrances in the open world have been modified slightly
Territory Raiding Changes
Once a banner has been dropped and channeled, the time until it is destroyed has been reduced from 5 minutes to 3 minutes
Raid Banners can no longer be used to raid a territory if an older Raid Banner is already active there, or if two banners are spawned simultaneously
In order to raid a territory with your own banner, older Raid Banners must first be destroyed
Raid Banners that need to be destroyed first are visually distinguished on the minimap
If two Raid Banners are raised within 30 seconds of each other, one must be destroyed before the other can be used to raid
Raid Banners that are raised later on in the battle cannot be used to prevent raiding
Mob Combat Changes
Spells and combat behavior have been updated for a number of mobs
Out-of-combat status in PvE now begins when the mob is killed, rather than when its corpse disappears
Other Changes
As a followup to our Solo Dynamic Encampment loot increases in Patch 1, Group Dynamic Encampments now award less Fame and Objective progress to players if they are solo or in very small groups
Our intent with this, along with the changes in Patch 1, is to create rewarding gameplay loops both for solo players in Solo Encampments, and for group players in Group Encampments
Mini roaming mob camps in the open world no longer spawn around World Bosses
Equipping food or potions now puts all spells on a 10 second cooldown
Enchantment Level 4 Treasure Resources are now more likely to unlock at Prime Time, rather than spawning at Prime Time and unlocking later
Certain items are now less expensive to Journey Back or use a S.A.F.E. Portal with
This mostly affects Randomized Dungeon Maps and Player Island furniture
The radius of the Crystal Beetle’s ‘Magical Discharge’ spell has been significantly increased
Hostile player count in safe regions now only counts players explicitly flagged as hostile, not unflagged players in open PvP areas
Guild Codexes (guilds’ internal descriptions) can now be edited by any member with the ‘Change Guild Logo’ permission
