Some screenshots and a video:

Video made by someone who plays on s1.de:


The two new backgrounds in 1920x1080 resolution:

I cannot go to game last few minutes :/ It is stuck on background, no button is available :/
Any idea why??

What server are you on? It is a temp. problem only. If you play on s1.de there might be more server delays or downtimes due to the update and additional fixes.

Ok, Im in now...is patch uploaded on UK2??
I see some pictures, but cannot find demon portal

[Leander]

The update is only live on s1.de. If everything is ok and no bugs are found all other servers will receive the update in the course of the next days. However, there is no exact date given. Everything is possible (next week or later).

It looks very good on the video and the pictures are cool. Thanks Playa

[Leander]

The good thing is that even high-level players have opponents to fight for some time as the portal can only be entered once a day.

[Sir Wafel]

Well I think my first opinion was a bit to harsh, it seems very intresting to at least try it.

Well done.

nice update

[Evil Hellboy]

high-level players now level up faster

what does that meen?? do we get more XP from adventures?

[slasker]

Cool update... Looking forward to see my own and my guilds progress :-D
Looks like s... in danish though, so I have changed my default language to English...

Also, I would like to see a throughout update - not just for all supported languages but also all supported platforms. If you support iphone, android and windows mobile, you have to wait releasing until it is ready on all languanges and platforms - that's how it is being big and responsible... Can't tell people, that you are worth less than others... That's what you do - but not what we pay.

* you get XP if the enemy grants you 100+ honor and/or was not more that 20 ranks behind you (important e.g. for the Top 10 players)

Is the explanation true? I mean, the 2nd part of the rule applies only to the top 10 players?
If this is actually true we are about to see some SERIOUS honor dumping...

Thankfully im in the top 3 already

[Spruitje]

*snipped*

o if you win in the arena the first 10 PvP fights of the day now give you XP*
o you lose at least 20 honor if you lose in the arena

Is this only on ATTACK, or does it also count when you're defending??

[Morrie]

I am not happy with this update.
I hate the fact that the shown skills are different. I want to see the range of the players, not the average. It takes an extra act, I don't want that, it causes quicker RSI.
I loved surching for high players I might win the fight against. Now I lose 20 points, just for trying, just for playing and enjoying.
Well, I can tell you, no more enjoy for me there.
No more hall of fame. That was the core of my play. There lays my heart.

Watching back a guildfight......I would like to watch the fight before the last fight. They are often at night, so I can't see if we won or loose, and with how many points. How much xp difference there was.

So, overall, when I speak for myself; they could have left several updates in there pocket.

So i guess ill have to answer that myself

I did some testing and basically everyone can use the 2nd part of the rule (concerning the 20 ranks below)... So part 1 looks kind of useless. Why would you even bother attacking someone stronger, again and again 10 times/day?

As for the honor dumping part... It already started...

That and also think about the tidal wave of complaining players you get now:

"Player X is spamming attack after attack on me" - yeah of course, i win and get more than 100 honor, plus you are still not 20 ranks below me, i will spam my 10 attacks on you for save assurance of my 10 wins with XP

"My inbox is flooded with attack messages every day" - guess we all need to learn that command now (what was is again? /delatt or something)

I just attack the no1 player often to lower my ranks steadily without risk of losing gold
Then i arrive in a safe zone in the ranks, pick my victim and spam him 10 (or untill he goes out of rankreach or gives less than 100 fame)

Seriously, they could have made it so it was more appealing to more players, instead they nerfed the whole fame system and unbalanced the PvP even more
