Change target lock
Thank you again to everyone who took the time to not only participate in the open beta, but also leave some very detailed and constructive feedback. Made the following changes to target locks: Please note these changes only Impact on PvP – PvE will work as before.
Killing a PvP opponent with target lock no longer automatically switches to another target
This created a situation where an ability in progress would instantly target another player when the current target was killed. This operation is not possible with manual keyboard and mouse aiming, so we have removed it.
Targets are now unlocked more aggressively if you lose line of sight to them
Blocking your line of sight, even for a short time, will cause you to lose lock, making it easier to dodge and better maintain stealth gameplay in PvP.
Character rotation speed is now slower when using target lock
Slowed down the character’s rotation speed when using target lock. As a result, the target tracking speed is slow and homing attacks are more likely to fail against moving targets.
Temporary – Blunderbuss now deals less damage in PvP
We agree with player feedback that surefire hits don’t feel right. To alleviate this, we have temporarily reduced Blunderbuss’ base damage in PvP to compensate for guaranteed hits. We will continue to investigate long-term solutions that will be implemented in the near future.
Cross-world arena and improved matchmaking
Thanks to cross-world matchmaking, finding matches in 3v3 arenas is now much easier. We’ve also introduced skill-based matchmaking to both Arena and Outpost Rush. Look forward to more quality matches against other players with similar skills. Finally, we added role selection to these modes. Similar to Expeditions, we now better divide roles across teams for a more balanced experience.
New PvP Zone: Cursed Mist
The misty southwest of the Cutlass Keys is a lawless land, where the curse of La Esperanza’s treasure of “gold greed” drives those seeking wealth to a murderous madness. Even the closest allies can fatally betray each other. Collect cursed doubloons and resources. However, you must escape before other looters steal your loot. Understand better what you can expect from our services Detailed description of the developer.
New 10-person raid: Gorgon’s Lair
One of the most exciting new features coming is Gorgon’s Lair, the first-ever 10-player raid. After defeating Medusa in New Olympus, players will learn about a new threat. Gorgon has risen and is summoning Hircine’s army. To stop them, you must assemble a powerful team of players, enter the nest, and overcome difficult puzzles and epic boss battles.
