[h2]Must-Read: Sign up for the Open World PTR Testing![/h2]

After the first reveal of new Open World rules, we received a lot of feedback from all of you through various platforms! We realized that the new Open World still needs time to be polished to become ideal!
So this time, We will open the PTR and invite everyone to research together!

This test will be divided into two types of registration: House registration and individual registration.

[h3]House Registration[/h3]

• House registration will be notified uniformly through in-game mail. So, all House leader please pay attention to your in-game mailbox.
  

[h3]Individual Registration[/h3]

• Time: April 12, 2024 ~ April 18, 2024
  
• Individual Player Registration Form: https://forms.gle/G8LrqqPu5Tdb1DgZ9

[h3]Test Time:[/h3]

• April 19, 2024, 18:00 ~ April 25, 2024, 23:59
  

There will be plenty of rewards in this test event also. Please stay tuned for official news updates!

[h2]Frontline Letters: Q&A[/h2]

[h3]Q: Class skills should be equipped onto specific weapons[/h3]
Refugee Bobo：Similar to how runes work, skills should equip onto weapons so that mid-game you can change your weapon and thus change your skills to better suit what's happening at the time.
The best example of this, if you have 2 musket crafts, one suited for agility musket build and the other stuited for bomb musket, if ablities were attached to specific weapons as runes are, you could switch between. This wouldn't just effect musket, just musket is the best example.

A: This is an very interesting idea! Adjust skills accordingly when switching weapons can indeed take the customization in game a step further, but it will affect weapon balance currently. We will not simply modify this issue; instead, we will consider optimizing it in a more user-friendly system in the future! Thank you all for your thoughts and discussion.

[h3]Q：Allow players to Rename their equipment during reforge.[/h3]
3ro_Mickobo3ro : It would add some humor and flavor in allowing players to customize their equipment, especially weapons.
e.g. Player X reforges his Spear and renames it to "Cute Little Pinky."
Coinciding with this, it would be incredibly funny if the Death messages were changed if a player dies beause of a hero skill.
e.g. "Player X killed Player Y with his Cute Little Pinky using Dragon's Roar.

A: A humorous battlefield broadcast seems interesting, but at the same time, there could be issues with filtered words. We could consider using an in-game system to provide a word library for players to make customized choices? How is this idea to everyone?

[h3]Q：Balancing Suggestion: Claymores[/h3]
AkAzad：In response to the changes in the current environment, the slowdown effect of Claymores 3 skills after 15 seconds makes it difficult to operate effectively and flexibly in the current environment. In addition, the mechanism of forcing three-star units to cooperate is not suitable for the current environment, and the skill cycle is not reasonable enough, making it difficult to operate effectively in the current environment. The following suggestions are recommended for effective battlefield performance in the current environment:
Adjust the debuff effect of Claymores 3 skills and remove the movement speed penalty. The rest does not need to be adjusted; the cooldown of 3 skills is reduced to 40 seconds

A: Indeed, Claymores is among the units we're considering for adjustments. Your thoughts and suggestion of it are very helpful! Currently, we're think about to remove the movement speed penalty. If you have any further ideas, please feel free to start any new conversation. Don't worry, all these balance adjustments will be test strictly in PTR before officially launch.

[h3]Q: Make Ranked an acceptable House Quest requirement[/h3]
StarBurst: House Quests is very important for Territory Wars and everybody wants to have as much reputation as possible for the eventual battle. People play and grind the game in all different ways... ranked, normal siege (with seal system) or free battles etc... General Suggestion: Add ranked as an acceptable game-mode for farming house quests, so that everyone can enjoy all parts of the game。

A: As the Open World announcement was made in previously, new rules for the Open World 2.0 is being explored carefully! This idea is very valuable, as we hope all generals can find enjoyment and a sense of accomplishment in various "Open World" activities. We will seriously consider this and look for ways to improve the experience for all generals.

[h2]Frontline Letters: Q&A[/h2]

Last week, we've diligently compiled all the feedback from our esteemed Warlords and handed it over to our development team for future optimizations. Today, we'll delve into some of the selected inquiries and feedback to provide you with answers and insights. Let's dive in and see what suggestions our Warlords had in mind!

Q：classes vs pike mechanics
EveryonelovesaZombie (LZ): In regard to the Longsword & Shield and Pike mechanics, given that Longsword & Shield skill [With Valor] is a staged skill, using basic attacks between stages leads to the skill entering the cooldown stage. I hope it can be considered to let it function like the Pike, where basic attacks can be mixed in with combos.
• A: This is a great idea, a very valuable thought. However, the longsword and shield are inherently heavy weapons, this special positioning makes them not as flexible as pikes. Swinging heavy weapons takes a lot of effort, and it also limits the emotes! Currently, heavy heroes are a bit overpowering in the game and won't be adjusted immediately in the short term. However, in the future, we will take into consideration the opinions of all players and we hope that you can express more to us! Thank you very much!
  
  Q: Mastery Surveys are Biased
  omar_uav: Heavy Prefecture Cavalry are the best from the category of masteries, just like as how Rattan Marksmen were only known good from the mastery and now meta.
  Mastery was a good idea buffing units that were nearly non usable, now its buff already good units to meta.
• A: The team have received your suggestions regarding the Mastery. They will fully consider the unique circumstances of the Unit. Unit’s Mastery will be introduced to players early through questionnaires and tests, and we will continue to optimize the communication process. In the future, more units will receive Mastery upgrades, and we hope that everyone can join together and conduct a satisfied result!!
  
  Q: UI Improvement for House Diplomacy
  Foghladha：When listing houses under deplomacy sort the house list by level first in descending order. This will put all the active houses at the top of the list and all the sleeping houses at the end of the list. It will make the system more new player friendly and speed up the time it takes to find a house to join. Nobody wants to click through 100+ pages of dead houses.
  Also please remove the same region requirement to join a house. It's an unnecessary roadblock.
• A: We have noticed it as well! The region restriction for joining a family is indeed an outdated setting, and we will consider removing it in future updates. Thank you for your suggestions; we will continue to optimize this part of the experience and hope everyone looks forward to the improvements!
  
  Q: XP Requirements for different star units
  HeManOfficial: The Gold, Purple, Blue and Green/White need to have different XP requirements to level up. 300,000 for leveling up once for both Winged Hussars and Ironcap Scout Cavalry doesn't make sense. At least new players should be able to catch up a bit quicker.
• A: The growth of new players has always been a focus for us. In future updates, we will use various methods to help players smoothly transition through their growth period! Thank you very much for your thoughts!!
  
  Q: "The Lord of the Star Ring"
  Chinh: So are we gonna have the event?
• A: Did everyone like our April Fool's joke? Who knows, maybe we are in the midst of an adventure where an "April Fool's joke becomes true!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Generals, the battlefield awaits your command. Let's forge the glory of victory together!

Greetings Warlords!

There have been some dissonant noises and some violations of the game's rules in the game recently. Some players have used hack on the battlefield. Some have used farm bot to level up quickly, and some have spread inappropriate words in the game. It all affects the environment of our entire Conqueror's Blade community.

We want all generals can enjoy the pure joy that the combat brings and will have the best gaming experience without disturbed by any violation.

Therefore, we'd like to take this chance to remind you all: we have recently noticed a big increase in accounts being flagged for using hacks, as well as websites selling accounts and phishing software. Do not try to use any of these simply due to curiosity, as doing so may lead to financial losses, and is highly likely to compromise your account's security. Any usage of cheating software will lead to your account being banned.

The following is the latest name list of violators and their punishments:



We will continue to monitor the gaming status of the above players, and if the same violations occur again, they will be subject to more severe penalties.

In order to create a healthy environment for the community, and better everyone's gaming experience, the Conqueror's Blade Operations Team will be unwavering in our fight against hack or farm bot. We won't let slide any uncivilized language in any channel. Warlords are welcome to report any of the above game violations to us. As long as we work together, we can surely create a friendly and stable gaming environment. Thanks for your support of the Conqueror's Blade.

Meanwhile, some issues or exceptions in game might be caused by bugs or an unstable network. If you are uncertain if someone is cheating, you can send us a message to our report e-mail. Once we've verified the situation, we'll deal with them appropriately, and punish them severely should they be using hacks.

If you have any questions about the results of our process or need to make a complaint, please also contact us at the above email address.
