The cross-server naval battles are different from the current’s Event, naprmier of “Eye of the Storm”? 

Current naval battles will certainly bring a fan to players, but not always the same. Sometimes too many ships, ships often bled in different ways. As if someone gets more fun, and someone does not receive.

Because experienced sea wolves will be able to test themselves in an equal content.

What are the basic conditions for the victory on the new inter-server arena? 

Firstly, to win you need to score as many points as possible. Kill the enemies and get the blessing of the goddess, to strengthen the abilities of his team.

Secondly, it is very important to find the dead that appear after the destruction of an enemy ship. If you do not have time to find them, the enemies will move to the nearest spawn and quickly recover.

Destroyed ships appear on the original spawn point and restored depending on how many corpses you’ve lost. You can also use the device up to restore the health of the ship or increase his attacks.

Note that if the ship will destroy the boss, you will see a large number of dead.

On the inter-server arena a lot of different bosses and objects. As vzaimodeystovat with them? 

Big waves and huge vortices on the battlefield may damage the ship. As huge bosses.

How difficult is it to learn to fight in this arena? What if I get there on the ship for the first time? 

You will be much more difficult if you go out on your boat for the first time in the open sea and try to participate in any event. Already there in all the players pumped ships.

On the new arena is all things being equal, everything will depend on how you are with the team guided the ship.

In the battle with swords and the strongest swordsman players will have a choice of three types of equipment and weapons, as well as buff.

In addition, the integrated battlefield will be the reason. the players need a new arena, they are already tired of the kind of old.

We’ve also updated the old battleground, because the arena 1 1 looked quite large, where you can get away from each other, or look for the invisible enemy. In new fields as you will immediately embark on a duel.

So many new battleground … It is difficult to understand the differences. Will there be different rewards? 

Arena different conditions for victory, defeat or a draw. But the biggest reward waiting for you for participating in the cross-server arena.

We have already reported that the rewards for participating in battles changed to Kyrios battleground medals. In exchange for the coin you can purchase special dictionaries and the right to change the title. In addition, during PvP-season, some players will for some time to take over the ship Turtles.


New car Turtles

The developers plan to add winter and summer festivals during the change of seasons, the arena, but whether they will be in our version, we do not know. Because transfer did not detail.

You have changed the drop in the dungeons. Why? 

The main problem in the current rewards for dungeons that their value is less than the complexity of farming. Because we changed the rewards for heroic dungeons, in particular – for Nagashar. Many things are now crafting an item to be used from the dungeons.

In addition, now the dungeon for level 18 will be available with 30, because of the change of awards.


Changing loot and level dungeons

Developers want to add an instance between servers in the future, but there is still a lot of things over which we must consider.

We are waiting for change of title system, but will it be possible to obtain new titles after securing one? 

Now, even if the name tiutla I do not like it, I use it because of the good performance. Now, thanks to a special itemu, we give the possibility to fix your own title with features to choose from.

At the same time, it is still possible to obtain titles in the future, we will add many more new. 

Added new residence and soon we expect to improve the mechanics of change houses.

Tell us about changes in the crafting of equipment

we have to simplify, starting with 4-level crafting gear obsidian. It will be possible to create a sealed item and choose what type it is (argenitovoy or flaming) when printing.

Now prowess necklace is created with a 100% chance. Outfit efenov received an additional 5% of the speed of movement and the three additional slots for rune.

The encyclopedia average rating of equipment will rise. Those players who previously had pokaztel this rating about 9000 now will have more than 10,000.

New skills have efenskoy equipment

Why is removed from the game gold stars and insignias? 

They exhausted the potential for stimulation of development, many of them players and their farm was not interested. Therefore, the coin introduced Kyrios, which will cause interest among players with different awards for the exchange of medals. 

The developers have also talked about the interface changes, support for widescreen monitors, a federated system of raids and ease of navigation for the auction. In one form or another it has been mentioned earlier.
