Public Test: Graphical and World Map Overhaul

Greetings, Warriors!

This week we are making a special update regarding the upcoming graphical and world map overhaul. We are almost ready with everything we have prepared for completing this milestone, yet we believe that a task that took half a year and the focus of practically the whole devteam in the making deserves some more time to be tested, and what’s more important – deserves to be tested by more people, especially our awesome and supportive players.

The map is reshaped, the graphics are renewed and questlines are fully reworked. And to test those and many more complex and significant changes, we need all hands to assure the quality of the upcoming update and less stress for us and our precious players, if anything would go sideways. We decided to open a temporary test server, with all the planned changes on it, and ask you for your help.

It is much safer to give us and our community just some time over the weekend to get used to the new world and to help us test the new features, reworked questlines, and graphics. We will be able to fix all the reported issues and address any bugs that may occur before we upload the new version of Gloria Victis to public servers. Depending on the test's outcome, we plan to deliver the update globally on Tuesday.



[h2]How to join the test[/h2]

On our official Discord server, you will find a special “major-update-external-test” channel, where you will be able to request access to the test server. We have 100 keys to give you access to the test session, and we are kindly asking to join us only if you will for sure have time and will to help us with the testing.

On the Discord channel, you will also find the changelog, to give you more insight into the changes we prepared, and point you to the place where you can leave your feedback and bug reports. We plan to reward the most active and helpful testers with a significant amount of Ambers, so we are counting on your dedication!



[h2]What we should focus on during testing[/h2]

In exchange for getting access to the separate game version with the new map and graphics, we will ask you to complete questlines (solo or in groups) and provide feedback about all differences between the new and old versions of the game. There will be one, global server and you will need to start your journey from the scratch, as it is launched with a separate database.

The most important task will be completing the questlines for your nation, and let us know if there are any bugs or regression. We will be extremely happy if you could check other features, like NPC placement, event starters, and all things you can think of during the regular gameplay. You will find more details and suggestions on our Discord. We will also provide a list of known issues, so please follow us carefully.



Thank you for your goodwill and patience, and see you on the Test Server!
