Conqueror's Blade News

Dear Conqueror's Blade Community,

In the grand tapestry of life, dreams, and passions can often be eroded by the relentless grind of daily existence. Since its inception, Conqueror's Blade has dedicated itself to delivering new seasons of content. This focus is not inherently misguided, but our journey thus far has been marred by a lack of refinement and polish, resulting in frequent crashes and frustrating lag that overshadowed the launch of each new season.

[h2]Dimming the Flame of Dreams[/h2]

Just like the dreams of commanding the Winged Hussars to resounding victories, raining arrows upon your enemies, unleashing your Berserkers in battle, or becoming the unyielding bastion, our aspirations have been gradually losing their luster due to these technical setbacks.

[h2]You, the Pillars of Our World[/h2]

Conqueror's Blade thrives on the passion of dedicated Warlords like you. Your invaluable criticism has shown us the areas where we fall short. For far too long, our lack of self-reflection has led us astray, causing discord among our cherished player base.

We are especially grateful to those who shared their insights during the China Joy Shanghai 2023 Players Meetup held in late July. It was one of the key elements that directed us in the right way. Read the whole article here.

Following this period of introspection, we have fulfilled our promise by forming the new fully-dedicated Optimization Team. This endeavor is named "Project Nirvana" and will launch alongside the new season. Our goal is clear: we aim to rectify past mistakes and make Conqueror's Blade the best it can be!

[h2]A Wave of Optimizations[/h2]

In our pursuit of excellence, we have undertaken several significant optimizations:

1. PvE Content Revamped

We've heeded your concerns about the overwhelming volume of PvE content and its detrimental effect on your gaming experience. To address this, our designers have immersed themselves in a month-long PvE marathon to better understand your perspective. After the Knightfall season, we will integrate and enhance daily and weekly quests, streamlining the rewards and objectives. Unique PvE drops will be replaced with daily/weekly quest rewards, featuring the versatile [War Tokens] that can be exchanged for various items.

2. Performance Enhancement

Our programmers have rigorously tested the game on various gaming rigs to pinpoint performance bottlenecks. This has led to improvements in art assets, resulting in reduced VRAM usage and a more streamlined game client. We're committed to enhancing stability and reducing crashes.

3. Unit Balancing

Unit stat values will undergo refinements, with regular changes planned to enrich gameplay and strategic depth.

[h2]A Journey Toward Excellence[/h2]

While the initial update may not bring an abundance of new content, these optimizations are crucial steps on our path to continuous learning and improvement. We are devoted to providing you with the best possible gaming experience.

Please, share your thoughts and ideas with us at any opportunity. Your feedback guides us.

[h2]Our Pledge to You[/h2]

The Conqueror's Blade team pledges the following:

1. Performance Optimization

We will diligently work on improving frame rates, reducing VRAM and RAM usage, enhancing stability, and minimizing crashes. We will enhance network connections and frame rates for a clearer gaming experience. Our focus includes ensuring smooth gameplay on lower-end systems and laptops.

2. Anti-Cheat Measures

We are committed to increasing transparency and reducing the prevalence of cheats. Our partnership with NetEase Shield will enable us to detect and take action against cheaters. Reporting cheaters will also be rewarded.

[h2]More Exciting Changes Await[/h2]

Beyond these optimizations, we have exciting plans:

- Changes to Territory War
- Unit & Hero Balance Adjustments
- Progression Difficulty Decrease for New Accounts
- And much more!

[h2]Join Us on the Journey[/h2]

Therefore, the Conqueror's Blade development team will host a live stream on September 24th to discuss our optimization plans as the next step towards our common goals with the community. We hope to share more information about our future plans and answer your questions. Our programmers and designers will also embark on online and offline meetups with the community in the near future after this stream.

Thank you for your support and love for this game,

The Conqueror's Blade Development Team

Greetings, Warlords,

Following the closure of the server transfer application, we have received messages from some of our Warlords who missed out on this opportunity.

To assist Warlords in better preparing for the upcoming season, we have decided to reopen the server transfer application starting at 15:00 (UTC+8) today, and it will continue until the season maintenance scheduled for 0:00 (UTC+8) on September 14th.

For those who wish to transfer servers, please take note of the deadline and complete your applications in a timely manner.

May your victories be plentiful!

Greeting Warlords,

More rewards with less time investment! We will reduce the number of daily and weekly times some Matchmaking modes can be completed, while their rewards will be added following the new season's maintenance. Hope our Warlords can spend more time enjoying the modes you like! Find more details about the adjustment in Knightfall Season Patch Notes that will be coming soon on our official website!
Since [Latent Potential] will no longer drop any Scrolls of Mastery after the maintenance, it is recommended to get its reward before the new season's maintenance this Thursday,

Thank you for supporting Conqueror's Blade!
