The new village and levy collector systemsĭesigned by AV to help create more regular PvP hotspots, these two new systems increase the risk/reward payout for villages and region control. The system also includes a built-in wager mechanic, so that you really can put your money where your mouth is. The new system allows duels between 2 players to take place within safezones, where their fights can be watched but not interfered with by others. Gone (perhaps sadly ) ) are the days of globalchat drama when people accused each other of welching on duelling deals. Having myself now happily wandered around the world whilst watching the snow settle on trees, buildings and even on me and my mount, or watched the rain glistening over rocky surfaces as it runs down them, I can say that this has helped bring the already stunningly crafted gameworld to life. Whilst not a game changer, the new weather system really helps add to the game’s immersion. Thirdly, they are patching, patching hard and keeping to their deadlines when they announce them! In the last ~3 months there have been 6 big patches, some of them truly major, and we know of another 2 big patches that are in the immediate pipeline, with the first of a series of major patches to the economy promised during next week and the massive change in the form of the new roles system “soon” after that. This has led to a real conversation between players and devs. Secondly (and for the first time ever) the developers themselves have been allowed to start responding directly on the forums – rather than just the community liaisons and Tasos. Firstly, there are almost weekly (sometimes daily) updates with info on what they’re doing and where they’re going with the game/certain parts of the game. These last few months have seen a truly unprecedented change in how Aventurine is communicating with its playerbase.
So, in no particular order… : Developer communication and content pushing In short, a LOT! And as a result this is a longish article – you have been warned! So, what has changed since Lux Arcana left the game in early October 2013?
Heck, I’ve gone and got myself a 6 month sub – and I’m not the only Luxie who has done. Indeed, such a good place that quite a few Luxies are already re-subscribed or are considering doing so. The great news is that the game seems to be getting itself into a very good place.
