New Content

-Ghostfish can now be traded for Lobster Soul at Baelin.

Content Changes

-Durability loss on death has been increased to 100 from 50.
-Siege Assemblies no longer exist and a Siege can be declared immediately.
-Only one Siege can be declared at a time per Nation.
-Sieges can only be declared Monday through Friday.
-Battle Sessions now only happen on Saturday/Sunday and last 12 hours.
-Defenders/Attackers now only gain 1 point per update for holding the flag.
-Defenders/Attackers now only gain 10 points per kill.
-There is no longer a point cap for a Siege.
-Siege outcomes are determined after 2 Battle Sessions.

Overall this effectively makes sieges more strategic and less spammy. You must choose your siege target in advance and fight over the weekend for it. You only have two battle sessions so defending lots of captured towns is very hard. This will increase coordination and reduce spam/zerging.

Known Issues

-Fishing rods break after an update.

Put in a ticket if your rod breaks. Screenshot the rod before using it to ensure quick ticket times.

Upcoming Content

-The Bazaar will be shut down on February 9th.

There will be no recoveries after that date. Get your stuff out before then.

-Investigating Counter-Play options for large guilds.

Right now there is very little way to counter massive guilds. They can stack materials with impunity and there is no way to get around this. I am investigating ways to let players push back on this. Might try some things with chest locking mechanics in Midgard first.

-Neith

This is planned to launch on March 1st.
