Hey players,
We are very excited to share with you the Sandbox for the massive WYD Global War System update, revealing a preview of the many new features that are on the way.

War System Update - Global WYD

Introduction to the New System

We are pleased to announce the long-awaited opening of an exclusive Sandbox server dedicated to testing the War System update, as previously mentioned in our Updates Roadmap. Players will have the incredible opportunity to experience first-hand the exciting new features related to the Tower Wars system.

Through this Sandbox server, you will have early access to features and mechanics that will revolutionize the guild combat experience in Kersef. Since the initial announcement, the community has been eagerly awaiting more information, and now the time has come to explore and test every aspect of this new system.

We are excited to open this Sandbox server and look forward to receiving valuable feedback from our community. The tests carried out will be essential to improve and refine the mechanics, guaranteeing an immersive and balanced game experience.

Throughout this news, you will be able to check out in-depth details about the innovations of the Tower Wars system bringing a renewed dynamic to the battles between rival guilds. All of this is now available for testing on the Sandbox server.

How to access the Sandbox?

In conjunction with the test server, we are also making available the test version of our Launcher. It brings the same design as always, but greater stability and the correction of several bugs detected in the old version.

This version can be used both for the Global server and for the test server, however, it is important to keep the old version so that in case of difficulties faced in the new version, the same one will be used.
< br />In addition, we would like to ask that any problem faced, either on the test server or using the new Launcher, be informed to the team as soon as possible, either via Ticket or through our support .

Quick Access

The update on Tower Wars, which is available in a new Sandbox, brings the following changes to the dynamics of this system:

• Guilds now need to register and choose a participation channel within a specific time.
• There is no longer a defending guild, all guilds are attackers and must defeat the towers.
• The guild with the highest balance of defeated towers will be the winner of the day and will receive an amount of Guild Fame as a reward.
• Guild influence will now be the result of the average influence generated over the last 7 days.
• Strategic restrictions will also be introduced, such as limiting the participation of certain levels of characters on certain days. These changes will increase the challenge and strategy of Tower Wars.

How does Sandbox work?

Sandbox time is not synchronized with GMT-3 time, instead it works in one-hour cycles, always starting at 20:50 and ending at 21:50. That is, on the test server, when reaching 21:50, the server will automatically reset the time to 20:50, thus starting a new round of tower wars.

Furthermore, every 12 cycles a day is passed, thus updating the influence of created guilds. It is important to say that weekends also do not exist on the test server, when arriving on Friday at 21:50 for the 12th time, the server will jump to the next Monday instead of going to Saturday.

War Access Rules

Torres War will work differently depending on the day of the week:

• Monday: Mortals (Regardless of level)
• Tuesday: God (Regardless of level)
• Wednesday: God2 (Level 1 to 379)
• Thursday: God (Regardless of level) and Mortals (Regardless of level)
• Friday: God2 (Level 380 or higher)

Achieving Fame and Influence

Each guild member will be able to get a random amount of Influence daily from NPC Resources, located in Armia.

By participating in War of Towers on the Test server (the server mechanics do not reflect how the dynamics work in the final version, on the Global server), each day of the week the Fame Guild reward will be different, and the earning limit will also vary according to the day, check below:

• Monday: 
  • Fame gained by winning: 10
  • Maximum Fame that can be obtained in the day: 100
• Tuesday: 
  • Fame gained by winning: 20
  • Maximum Fame that can be obtained in the day: 200
• Wednesday:
  • Fame gained for winning: 30
  • Maximum Fame that can be obtained in the day: 300
• Thursday:
  • Fame gained by winning: 40
  • Maximum Fame that can be obtained in the day: 400
• Friday:
  • Fame gained by winning: 50
  • Maximum Fame that can be obtained in the day: 500

Update on Tower Wars

In order to improve the dynamics of Tower Wars, we are introducing some changes to the system, aiming to make it more competitive, balanced and exciting for all players.

The current Tower Wars works like this:

• Monday to Friday, from 21:00 to 21:30;
• Follows a Attacker vs. Defender format: The guild that owns Noatun Castle defends the Endless Tower against the attacking guild.
• The winning guild receives 100 points of Guild Fame for the guild, while the losing guild loses 100 points of Guild Fame.

What will be the new changes

New way to Register the Guild and Schedules for participation 

• To participate in the Tower war, it will be necessary for the guild leadership to use the "Declaration of War" item.
• The item "Declaration of War" will give permission for the guild to access the war map in the canal in which it was used by the leadership and it is only possible to have one active declaration of war at a time, if a new one is made, the old one will cease to exist.
• The use of the "Declaration of War" item must occur exclusively between the hours of 8:30 pm to 9:10 pm, Monday to Friday. Remember that use of this item is restricted to guild leaders and sub-guild leaders.
• When using the "Declaration of War" item, a confirmation will be received through a Global Message on the server informing the name of the declaring Guild and the chosen channel for its participation.
• Only one declaration of war can be active at a time; if a new one is made, the previous one will be automatically removed.
• The declaration of war already made is only valid until the Tower War end time of the day it was activated (21:30 GMT -3). After that, it expires and you need to activate the "Declaration of War" item again.
• Tower Wars will remain the same in terms of time and location.

New Dynamics of Tower Wars

• All guilds that declared war become attackers and must defeat the Endless Tower, there is no longer a figure of a defending guild.
• At 21:00 the first tower will be summoned, at 21:05 two new towers and at 21:10 four more towers.
• If the towers are not defeated within the time interval between the spawn of the next wave of towers or until the moment of the end of the tower war, the towers that are not defeated will disappear.
• The guild that has the highest balance of towers defeated at the end will be the victor of that day's Tower War and will receive the respective Guild Fame. 

New Strategic Constraints

• We will also soon be introducing the possibility for tower wars to have restrictions according to the day of the week or the level of the characters.
  • Example: Limit the participation of mortal characters in Tower War to a certain day of the week. While on other days, only Celestial characters could participate.
• The reward in Guild Fame and the maximum Fame received per daily victory may vary depending on the day of the week.
• These restrictions will make tower warfare even more challenging and strategic. It is worth noting that the restrictions presented are only examples and will not necessarily be applied in this way.

New Influence system

• The amount of influence a guild has will be the result of the average influence obtained in the last 7 days and not the sum of all influence obtained in the week.
• Influence will no longer reset weekly.
• The information on how much influence each member generated for the guild will be maintained on a weekly basis, with the value reset every Monday at 00:00.
  • This will not influence the amount of guild influence. It only makes it possible to control the participation of members on a weekly basis.
• Any influence will only be counted after 23:59 on the day it was obtained.
• Guild coins will continue to be cleared weekly.
