During this occurence, we mostly went through our upcoming 2.6 update, so let's dive into it!

Recap of the talk

Q: What’s coming with the new patch?

A: New map: Black Tide Cove – mainly designed as Guild content. No ticket is required once you meet the required condition.

Q: Can I attack my Guild members on the new map?

A: No. Players from the same Guild cannot damage each other on the new map.

Q: Are there new weapons, armor or class changes?

A: No, not with this patch. Class balancing is planned for later.

Q: What’s changing with Player Shops?

A: Shops will no longer be time-limited, licenses are removed, and additional shop slots can be bought with Gelt. You’ll also receive an in-game mail when something is sold. The Gelt transaction limit is being increased.

Q: Will offline shops be possible?

A: Not for now. This is technically difficult due to how player inventories work.

Q: Any changes to the Gelt economy?

A: Yes. A tax on sold items is being introduced to remove Gelt from the game. More ways to spend Gelt are planned for the future.

Q: Will the game become less P2W?

A: The team acknowledges that the game has become too P2W. As a first step, there will be ways to obtain certain previously cash-exclusive items without AP. It obviously won’t be as easy as buying them from the Cash Mall.

Q: Which bugs are being fixed?

A: Permanent movespeed buff with riding pets and being able to move during Thorn Trunk should be fixed with Patch 2.6. A bunch of other fixes are also planned.

Q: Is there new Sea content?

A: Yes, new Lv. 35–45 Sea Quests are coming. More Sea content and continuation of the story are planned.

Q: What about PvP?

A: More dedicated PvP content is planned, but there are no specific details yet.

Q: Will parties/raids support more than 6 players?

A: Not yet. Larger parties and a raid system are being investigated.

Q: What about Essences?

A: The Essence system is planned for a larger rework in the future. Additional Essence drops/rewards are therefore not a priority right now. The general item drop system is also being looked at.

Q: Any news on UI resizing?

A: Unfortunately not yet. The team is aware of it, but UI changes are technically very time-consuming.

Q: Can PvE/Solo players access the new map?

A: Black Tide Cove is currently mainly designed around Guild content, so solo/PvE players without a Guild will have a harder time accessing it. The team will adjust things based on feedback after release.

Until next time, Florensians!
