Hello Community!

It’s been over a month since Gloria Victis 1.0 release and we are happy to see so many of you enjoying the game! And if you still don't own the game, it's a perfect time to get it 35% off and start your epic medieval adventure!

With most of the post-release work over, we believe it is the right time to share more information on the upcoming updates for Gloria Victis!



Our core programmers are working on a few improvements to the server-side optimizations. This is a task of significant importance, as once we are done with this task, not only will the servers be more stable, but the change will enable us to further increase the player cap across the servers.

This change is a very needed step towards bringing back the new Guild Castles and State of War systems. Finishing the work on the server-side optimization will let our core programmers continue the development of these very important and much-desired features. We can’t wait to share some more information on these systems in the future!

The changes to server stability will also give us the option to re-enable the Valley of Death Tournaments on the New Beginning Servers. They needed to be temporarily disabled due to a bug making certain players invisible upon returning from the event. This has been caused by the amount of data for the servers to process once moving so many players across servers.

In our eyes, Valley of Death Tournaments is an important part of the gameplay as it enables players to join daily massive PvP with equal numbers, and enables players to test their skills and cooperation, as well as obtain valuable rewards.

We are planning to perform some tests of the Valley of Death later this week, so keep an eye out for the invites for that event in-game!

Our priority is to bring back the Valley of Death Tournaments, as they are a fun and important part of gameplay. We plan on adding some more flavor to this mode by introducing a special Siege Mode, hosted on a map exclusively designed for that game mode.

The new map and mode will feature a massive siege, designed to host battles for even hundreds of players, with several layers of defenses, where one of the nations will be defending the castle against the other two nations. We cannot wait to see this map being played by our Community and are really looking forward to seeing all the interesting tactics and fights taking place in that unique mode.

This game mode will be a great playground for us to test and improve new siege mechanics that might later be implemented to the open world sieges, as well as State of War battles!

We will be announcing the end date for the current Glory Season soon. We want the end of the season to be tied with the introduction of some major changes, so before we can reveal the date, we want to make sure that these features will be ready for that date.

A little explanation for the new players: Glory is a season-based ranking that rewards you for activity in the faction v faction v faction PVP. The seasons last around 2 months (depending on the current updates schedule) and the top players are rewarded with unique titles and gold. Also, every Thursday night you’ll get Contribution Points – an in-game currency used to purchase special items from the Glory Quartermasters. The amount of earned CP depends on your position in the leaderboard!

The new season will begin with a server merge — thanks to the server-side optimizations we are working on right now, we will be able to merge some servers together to offer more PvP content, bigger battles, and more activity around the map.

The following servers will be merged:

• Wolfield 2, 3, and 4 will be merged together and take the name of Wolfield 2
  
• Holmridge 2, 3, and 4 will be merged together and take the name of Holmridge 2
  
• Dunshire 1, and 2 will be merged together and take the name of Dunshire 1.

As we always clearly stated, we are not planning on merging Legacy and New Beginning in the foreseeable future.

Based on the data we gathered, we have decided to merge the Eaglewood, Aquilla, and Dukla Legacy servers together and create a new, global Legacy server.

We can see that the overall population of the Legacy servers is low, which results in a lack of action across the servers, bringing stagnation and a lack of fun. Merging the servers will increase the balance and improve the amount of action that happens on the Legacy server.

We believe that due to the ping compensation system in-game, merging the servers is a much better solution than leaving three servers with minimal activity.

We are aware of the voices of some members of our Community, that the Legacy servers should be merged with the New Beginning servers, however, as we have already mentioned, there are no plans for such a move in the foreseeable future. The servers will be merged eventually, however, based on the data we have, we believe this is not yet that moment. The economic disparity between Legacy and New Beginning servers is too big to maintain fair and competitive gameplay. New Beginning servers are still new and very active, thus they need time to mature and stabilize on their own.

For the past two weeks, we have been upgrading the graphics of trees, as the first part of our global graphics upgrade. We will be bringing even more upgraded graphics and new effects in the upcoming weeks.

We are currently working on more tree models, bushes, environmental particles, and some models that are widely used around the game world.

We believe that these improvements will make the world look much better and make it feel more authentic and immersive.

We are constantly monitoring the data and listening to the Community feedback, trying to improve the Beginner Questlines in a way that will make them more valuable for the new players. We want the quests to be a good tutorial area for our new players and teach them the mechanics they will come across later in their adventure.

Part of our team is currently working on bringing more tutorial quests into the questlines for all three nations that will improve the way the new players' experience, boosting both the fun and tutorial aspects of these questlines.

We want the world of Gloria Victis to be a living world, with multiple activities for players to enjoy. Our goal is and always was to give players the ability to gain experience and riches by completing the activities they want to do — be it PvP, PvE, exploration, crafting, etc.

With this in mind, our design team is working on introducing more fun and unique PvE events, new locations, and points of interest to explore, as well as on reworking current events for a fresh experience.

This Sunday we have changed our time in Poland to summertime. This means that the daily restart time has changed too. From now on, the daily restart of the servers will take place at 8:20 am UTC.

Hello Warriors!
Today’s update brings a lot of important tweaks and adjustments for combat, brings some more optimization changes for the servers, and introduces some more tree variants following the last week’s update.

Without any further delay, let’s see what today’s update brings!


The screenshot’s authors will be awarded.Inarii, Guino and Rambs – Contact Koma#4247 via Discord to receive your ambers!


Based on the data we have gathered and our internal tests, we have been able to make some adjustments to the controller. The improvements should make fighting more pleasant, with less body blocking and a better feeling for shorter weapons.

What is more, today we are applying some changes to certain weapons that should improve the overall balance on the battlefield. We have decided, based on our data and the feedback of our Community, to make the two-handed spears longer, increasing their range from 10.3 to 11, and the Hordun Greatspear from 11 to 12. We have also decided to shorten the halberd from 11 to 10.7 and decrease its damage modifier from side attacks from 1.0x to 0.95x.

These changes should improve the variety of weapons used in combat as well as make their balance much better. Shortening the halberd and increasing the length of spears will make them a viable alternative for the halberd, breaking its domination as the weapon of choice for players wanting the highest range.



Following the update we made last week, we are adding more reworked tree variants and some fixes and adjustments to the ones already added. From now on, you will see more and improved variants of conifers in the snowy regions, and variants of trees for more arid regions around — around Sangmar zones and traitor camps.

• Added an option to link the item's name to the market search bar (Shift + LMB). You can use this feature on all the items in your inventory, as well as on the items that are already on the market.
  
• Added information about the current lowest price of an item in the selling window on the market. The visible price is the lowest price for that item of a specific reinforcement level.
  
• Removed non-existent workshop types from crafting recipes to make them less confusing

• Fixed some treasure chest locations.
  
• Fixed some NPCs playing walking animation while standing in place.
  
• Fixed an event “Highlanders” not showing on the map in the Ismir starting zone.
  
• Fixed some translations for crafting boards.
  
• A batch of Level Design fixes all around the games’ world.
  
• Lowered terrain near Audunstede to prevent faster entry into the castle.
  
• Fixed some colliders in Stone Walls
  
• Fixed missing workshop icons in the crafting window

We have implemented an additional feature today - Direction Deadzone.

This feature has been requested by our Community, with many members asking for it since the launch. We have taken our time to design and test it and since yesterday we've had a round of Community tests too.

The feature introduces a configurable deadzone for choosing the direction of the attack using a mouse. Increasing the deadzone makes it harder to change the selected attack direction with a small and slow mouse movements making the controller more reliable and making it easier to control the attack direction.

You can tweak the strength of the deadzone to your liking in Settings -> Interface Settings -> Controller Deadzone. Setting the value of the setting to 0 will fully disable the feature, thus provide the same gameplay experience as before the update.

We hope you will like it, and we are looking forward to hearing your feedback on the new feature!

Hello Warriors!
With nature starting to wake up after the winter, so do the trees in Gloria Victs! With today’s update part of the game's foliage has received a graphical overhaul which is the first step on our way to a full overhaul of nature in the game, today’s update also brings a new type of questboards as well as a batch of quality of life features and fixes. While part of our team still works on further optimization and improvements to the stability of servers, the remaining part of the team is back to working on the upcoming features and new content that will be coming in the following weeks.

Without any further ado, let’s see what today’s update brings!


The screenshot’s authors will be awarded. Ekuz, Salame and Rambs – Contact Koma#4247 via Discord to receive your ambers!


Our Artists and Level Designers are hard at work to bring some more graphical enhancements that will improve the overall visuals of the game. This week, we are implementing a big batch of re-created trees to the game as well as improvements to the visuals of the wooden fences and other small props. The new trees have more variants than before, making the forests around the world of Gloria Victis look more unique and varied. This is the first part of the upgrade, which will be continued in the following weeks to bring even more reworked visuals to the game!




This week brings a new series of quesboards — Crafting Tutorial Questboards. These new questboards are located around the safezone of each nation, and provide special lower-tier (up to tier 3) crafting orders that award players with tokens that can be exchanged for crafting recipes. These questboards are a great way to level up your crafting skills and progress faster through the crafting profession levels.



We are introducing three new skins for horses this week. Be sure to check them out in game, and ride to battle with style!




We have taken our time to better show the places of buried treasures! From now, they will be showing not only marked by a quest marker but also have their own model! Grab a shovel, and go for some treasure hunting!



We are very happy to see so many new content creators join our Community, as well as to see how the content creators we’ve already had grown in numbers! We encourage all of you to visit the channels of these amazing creators and hopefully find some content for you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqAnhmxaLOA

• Faster fire extinguishing when a location is not sieged.
  
• Adjusted crafting professions for certain crafts
  
• Mount Skins have now a separate filter in the market
  
• Adjusted rewards for some events in the safezone
  
• Improved the search bar in the market window. From now on it will hint at the searched items’ names.
  
• Added a welcome page to the market.
  
• Removed the “Forestry and Farming” crafting profession. All the recipes have been added to other categories. The profession didn't offer a whole range of recipes making it extremely hard to grind up to level 100 without any real use case.
  
• Globally optimized the terrains of the game's world. This change should reduce the RAM/VRAM usage.

• Fixed some graphical errors for rocks and cliffs.
  
• Fixed an issue causing workstations not to have a lootzone bonus after a server restart.
  
• Smoothed the increase in workstations’ temperature.
  
• Optimized the way the workstation manages its temperature level and the fuel it uses
  
• Fixed an issue causing the crafting quests not to be counted for the weekly rankings.

Hello Warriors!

We are very happy and proud to see so many of you enjoying the game, while we are getting back to our regular work schedule. Today we are introducing a number of important changes that will improve the overall quality of life for all the players, as well as some server-side optimizations. Part of our team is also back at work creating new content that will be getting introduced in the following weeks, so sharpen your swords and prepare for what will be coming soon to the world of Gloria Victis.

We would also like to make an important statement about the New Beginning Server merges.

Without any further delay, let’s see what today’s update brings!


The screenshot’s authors will be awarded.Sean Quinn, ChOJO and Rambs – check your Ambers in the next few days!


A month has passed since the launch and after the intense time, now comes the stabilization. During the release, we set up more servers than would normally be needed, and now, with improved servers’ performance and the stabilization of the population, we believe it is important to merge some of the servers. The planned merge should bring the population together, bringing more fun and challenging than before. We have decided to merge certain servers together in such a way that will maintain the balance between all the nations and increase the number of fun battles and activities that will be happening on such servers.

The merge will take place on the 10th of March, after the weekly rankings end, in order for the players to receive the reward they have earned. After the merge, the Glory, Guild, and Arena rankings of the servers will be merged together. The following servers will be merged together:

Europe Region:
- Wolfield 3 and Wolfield 6 will be merged under the name of Wolfied 3
- Wolfield 4 and Wolfield 5 will be merged under the name of Wolfied 4

NA/SA Region:
- Holmridge 3 and Holmridge 4 will be merged under the name of Holmridge 3
- Holmridge 5 and Holmridge 6 will be merged under the name of Holmridge 4

Some details:

1. When merging 2 servers, we will keep the player-controlled locations data from the server with a lower number.
   Example: when Holmridge 3 and Holmridge 4 will be merged under the name of Holmridge 3, they will keep the locations data from Holmridge 3.
   
2. Workstations from both of the merged servers will have to be removed but you will get back the resources you put into them – you will be able to receive them from the Market ("My offers" tab)
   
3. Merging the rankings – if you are already listed in the same ranking on both of the merged servers, we will save the higher of these values.
   Example: if you have 1,000 Glory Points on Holmridge 3 and 2,000 Glory Points on Holmridge 4, after the merge you will have the higher of these values – 2,000 Glory Points in this case.
   
4. The Underdog status will be cleared on the merged servers.
   
5. After the merge, the 60 day cooldown for switching to the Underdog nation by using the Mercenary Recruiter will be cleared for all New Beginning servers. This cooldown is triggered by changing your main server. You will be able to join an underdog nation even if you changed your main server in the last 60 days.

This will allow for more challenge, as there will be more players competing on the same server, and more opportunities for large-scale battles.



Today’s update brings a change that will improve how the Market works. From now on, not only will it become faster to use, but will become more responsive with a special loading icon showing that the players’ request is being processed. From now on, the Market will run smoother and with fewer lags, making it more reliable and more pleasurable to use.

— Fixes to certain quest dialogues that would not let a player progress the quest in some edge cases.



We have made small fix before the weekend:

— Renamed Stall into Sales Booth
— Minor UX improvements for Sales Booth (Stall) - to lower issues when player sell very cheap their mats, thinking he will buy it
— Fix ronin skin shoulders - now it should display properly

Hello Warriors!

The last few weeks were really intense for us but we’re so happy and proud to see the world of Gloria Victis so populated and alive! We hope you enjoy the game as much as we do enjoy creating it.

We’re slowly getting back to our normal work schedule. Today we have for you the first regular update since the 1.0 launch. Besides the changes listed below, there are countless smaller fixes and improvements we made in the meantime – most of them were already applied to the servers.

At the same time, we continue working on other, larger tasks to solve the most urgent problems. Improving the servers’ performance and stability, and getting rid of the issues preventing players from enjoying the game remains our top priority.

Check the changes and see you in battle!

– Fixed one of the upgradable walls models which wasn’t lighted properly
– Fixed an issue causing that Halloween heraldry symbols displayed in the “Supporter symbols” section
– Fixed the culling settings of Praetorian's Cuirass (male version) – it caused that the character’s upper legs were invisible
– Fixed the Treasure Map quest near Lordly Haven – the interactive object was misplaced under the ground and couldn’t be used

Hello Warriors!

It’s been a week since the 1.0 launch! It was a busy and demanding time for our team, full of overnight work to provide you the best experience. But it was so rewarding to see our Community rise in numbers fast and newcomers receiving such a warm welcome from the returning players.

Thanks to you, the lands of Stoneholm have never been so alive!

1. The peak of concurrent players increased 10x compared to the pre-launch times.
   
2. The number of available New Beginning servers increased to meet the needs of growing player population.
   
3. It seems that we have fixed almost all of the most frequent cases of critical issues which started to happen after such an influx of new players, such as: “Steam authentication”, “Connecting to Steam”, infinite characters loading and corrupted characters’ data. Please remember to let us know if you will still have those issues for further investigation - our Support Team will help you as soon as possible!
   
4. Several server-side optimization improvements
   
5. Numerous improvements to prevent the progression data rollbacks in future
   
6. Fixes to reported issues in the quests, events and dialogs
   
7. Responded to over 2,000+ support tickets reported both on Discord and our support email (support@gloriavictisgame.com)

Even though it was a tough time for us, we’re proud of what we – and you, the Community! – have achieved in such a short time. Despite being a team of less than 20 developers, we successfully addressed all the launch issues most frequently mentioned in the recent reviews.

Now that the all-time Steam reviews are back to “Mostly positive” ratio, we hope the same will soon happen to the last 30 days reviews. It helps us get better visibility and show the world the game that many of you came to love as much as we, the developers, do.

By the end of this week, we plan to:
* Apply further improvements to the servers’ performance and stability,
* Apply fixes to the remaining edge-case issues,
* Launch the Valley of Death PvP Tournaments on all servers. (We have just started 300 players Valley of Death tests with you! :))

Hello Community!

We survived the first 2 days after the 1.0 Launch. For our small team, it’s truly been an intense time. But we’re finally able to catch some breath and inform you about our progress, as well as the plans for the next few days!

On the launch, we did expect a lot of newcomers and returning users. But even to us, it’s heartwarming to see so many players in-game! Each night the concurrent users count hits a new all-time peak. The world of Stoneholm is more alive than ever with the ongoing wars, and the economy is blooming as so many users are now crafting and trading equipment and supplies.

This wouldn’t be possible without you – the players! Your support and good words were and still are fueling our team as we work day and night, barely sleeping at all, to solve the most urgent issues that happened on launch. We’d like to thank you all for all your support, and special thanks go to the veterans helping new users in-game, on our Discord and in the Steam forums. You’re simply amazing!

Since the first 48 hours, we applied 6 hotfixes and now it’s time for another one. Read the details below!



We’d like to thank every player who helped our Community Managers and Support Team collect data on the most notable connecting issue – the “Firewall is blocking connection” error on the loading screen. Just as we initially suspected, this appeared to be a different issue displaying a wrong error message.

The problem has been resolved this morning on a daily restart. We still focus on solving all remaining issues with connecting so you can expect further hotfixes every day.

If you have further connecting issues, our Support Team is at your disposal via email: support@gloriavictisgame.com. And our Community Managers, Coragon, Veland and Bartold, do their best to answer your questions and assist you on Discord!

We also focused on improving the performance and stability of the database and related infrastructure. Each hotfix includes fixes and improvements to this matter. In effect, we’re consequently reducing the loading times and occurrences of data loading issues.

We're continuously fixing all the reported issues with quests, including bugged bosses, impossible interactions with quest objects and so on. Thank you for reporting them!


We solved an issue which prevented players from enjoying the Valley of Death Tournaments and they are again available on all servers, both the New Beginning and Legacy ones. VoD is a special PvP tournament taking place on one of the dedicated maps with up to 50v50v50 players fighting against enemy factions. We already saw a full VoD today with 150 players involved! You can see the exact hours when VoD starts on your server in the Upcoming Events window ( key by default).

What we’re working on?

Even though the last few days have been intense for our team, we keep working as hard on further improvements. Our top priority is:

Fixing remaining connection issues
This includes fixes to several different issues, such as being stuck in the main menu on Connecting to Steam” and “Steam authentication”. In both cases, it helps to simply restart the Steam client and the game but you can expect proper fixes in the following days.

Reducing the character loading times
For several reasons, the character loading can take a few minutes longer at times. We’re optimizing this process to improve your experience and prevent unexpected data corruption.

- Optimized the connecting queues
- Optimized loading characters

Hello Community,

We are aware that currently, the gameplay experience in Gloria Victis might be unsatisfactory for some of you. We're doing our best to solve all the unexpected issues that happened on launch.

Since the release, we are working tirelessly on applying hotfixes to the game, to deal with the issues spotted on release. Currently, 24 hours after the release the game is already much smoother and we are planning to keep up hotfixing the game until it's back to its good state.

Hello Community!

We are very happy to welcome you to Gloria Victis 1.0! It’s been a long journey to finally reach that moment, and we are happy you have accompanied us in that adventure.


However, New Beginning servers is not the only thing that this update brings, let's take a look!

Andi f you didn't have a chance to watch it yet, here's the just-released Launch Trailer!




Today, we are introducing reworked crafting quests. These quests have now been moved to the questboard system, making them more accessible for all players. Upon collecting a crafting quest from the questboard and completing it, there is a 8 hour cooldown until another quest can be taken. However, we have divided the crafting quest into three regions: Pilgrim’s Rock, Outer ring of the map, and Capital cities. Each region has its own cooldown, meaning that a player can take a total of three crafting quests (1 per region) before needing to wait through the cooldown. What's more, the Crafting Quests' rewards will also vary based on the risk factor of the area they are at!

We want the Character Development to be a rewarding system, where unlocking new stages should feel rewarding. This is why, we have decided to increased the bonuses that unlocking the nodes gives.

However, in order to balance out the system, we have adjusted the required experience points needed to unlock certain nodes in the top-tier part of the Character Development trees.

• Updated the Feedback UI to the new UI look
  
• Improvements to UX in the Skills Window
  
• Fixed the edge case that would cause the minigames to become desynchronized
  
• Added the support of using Tab to change the input fields in the login screen
  
• Added additional confirmation upon selecting a main server if it’s ping is not the lowest on the list
  
• Adjusted the Supporter Shop prices, based on our data, we have adjusted the prices, mostly lowering them to make more skin variants accessible.
  
• Further improvements and tweaks in the starting quests for all nations.

• Minor fixes in the terrains and models across the world map

Hotfix #1 was just applied. A list of fixes:

– The first part of fixes to logging-in issues. We're still working on solving the remaining problems. If you'll be stuck in any way during the logging-in process, please simply restart the game.
– Bypass fix to the bug causing some quest bosses not respawning – these quests will be automatically completed after staying in their area for a while. It’s a temporary solution to allow players to continue the questline before we fix the problem completely.
– Fix attempt to an edge-case issue causing that some players’ data doesn’t load completely and their overhead markers are empty or filled with skulls icons. This should reduce the occurrence of bugs in many systems, including the fast travel, capturing flags and registering for arena duels.
– Fix to the Midland’s crafting quest in the capital city.
– Enabling the Valley of Death Tournaments on the New Beginning servers.
– Minor fixes to in-game texts.

We keep working on further fixes. Thanks for your patience!

Without any further delay, let’s see what this week’s update brings!


The screenshot’s authors were awarded.Shin_UnificationSword, Shamo and Thunderclash – check your Ambers!


The New Glory season will start with the release of the game, on Tuesday, the 7th of February. Also, we’d like to remind you that the last day of the season – Monday, the 6th of February – will be a dedicated day of the season's end. It will not be possible to earn or lose the Nation Points on this day and the scoreboards of other season-based rankings (Glory and Arena) will be frozen then. However, it is the last chance to donate your NP to your guild as the Guild Points. When the new season starts, the Nation Points collected by a player will count from 0 as the new season will begin.

A little explanation for the new players: Glory is a season-based ranking that rewards you for activity in the faction v faction v faction PVP. The seasons last around 2 months (depending on the current updates schedule) and the top players are rewarded with unique titles and gold. Also, every Thursday night you’ll get Contribution Points – an in-game currency used to purchase special items from the Glory Quartermasters. The amount of earned CP depends on your position on the leaderboard, so draw your weapons and fight your way to the top!

This week marks a significant improvement in the crafting system, as we have implemented a new crafting window UI filled with quality-of-life improvements, updated visuals, and better optimization.



From now on, the crafting UI will have two slots for recipes to be displayed at a time, making it easier to craft the components required to craft the final item. We have also added a better display of the chance to craft an item of a certain reinforcement level.

What's more, from now on, if there will be over 10 crafts of the same material queued, these materials will be crafted in a bulk of 10 in one craft. This bulk craft will take the same amount of time as the sum of 10 separate crafts and give the same amount of materials and experience.



This week, we wanted to introduce reworked crafting quests, however, due to an unexpected bug we need to postpone their implementation till tomorrow. Unfortunately, this means that the crafting quests will be disabled today. We believe, however, that these changes will be worthwhile to wait for, as they will greatly improve the feeling of these quests as well as enable more players to participate in this kind of activity. Below you can read more about what will change in the crafting quests with Gloria Victis 1.0:

The crafting quests will now be moved to the questboard system, making them more accessible for all players. Upon collecting a crafting quest from the questboard and completing it, there is an 8 hour cooldown until another quest can be taken. However, we have divided the crafting quest into three regions: Pilgrim’s Rock, the outer ring of the map, and Capital Cities. Each region has its own cooldown, meaning that a player can take a total of three crafting quests (1 per region) before needing to wait through the cooldown. What's more, the Crafting Quests' rewards will also vary based on the risk factor of the area they are at!



This week our artists and level designers took some time to bring more life to the capital cities of all three nations. From now on, NPCs in these important cities will have more options of animations to play, as we have implemented yet another batch of new animations to the game.

On top of that, as we have mentioned in the previous patch, this week brings the extension of the ragdoll system to animals! From now on, not only human NPCs but also animals will have a full ragdoll system implemented. Be sure to check it out!

We believe that these changes will improve the liveliness of the game world, making it even more interesting and immersive!

We are also introducing another Horse Skin. Based on the feedback of our Community, today we are adding a horse skin that will pick up the colors of the Coat of Arms that the player uses on the shield!




We cannot stress enough our happiness and gratitude to see such nice videos posted by our active community! This week, we have chosen a few combat videos, that will be rewarded with the main reward of 2000 ambers:
