Greetings, WYD Global warriors!

We're excited to announce a new round of testing on the Sandbox server, this time focused on buffs to two-handed weapons and adjustments to Royal Arena team formation. These changes are intended to provide more gameplay options and improve the competitive experience for all players.

During this period, we're counting on everyone to test the new features and share valuable feedback. Your input is essential to ensuring that the changes are balanced and bring real benefits to the game.

What's New

Two-Handed Weapon Buffs

To provide viable alternatives for different playstyles, we're implementing significant buffs to some two-handed weapons. These changes are intended to balance the use of one-handed and two-handed weapons, providing more diversity in player choice. We know that many players, especially in lategame, prefer one-handed weapons, but we want to make two-handed weapons an interesting option for certain stages of the game.

After implementation, we'll monitor usage and performance data, as well as gather feedback from the community. If necessary, we'll make additional adjustments to ensure that all weapon options are balanced and appealing. Here are the details of the buffs:

Nidhogg Sword

Note:
Weapons that have been updated will still display the old values ​​in their description, but when equipped, they will correctly apply the new additions to the character. This visual inconsistency occurs because the interface of these items has not yet been fully adjusted to reflect the changes.


Royal Arena Teaming Improvements

We're testing a new teaming system for the Royal Arena that uses a robust calculation to evaluate the Strength of each participating character. The goal is to create more balanced and competitive matches, ensuring that everyone has a fair and fun experience.

In addition, we're fixing a known bug where some players were not teleported to the Royal Arena even though they were registered. This fix should resolve access issues and ensure that everyone can participate without any problems.
