Feudals,
today's mini-patch addresses some burning issues and also acts as a starting point for our second "performance intervention":
Seasonal
Fixed: seasonal UI was amended to correctly reflect the “Ages” duration.
JH
Changed: now players can “Deconstruct” “Stone fence” blueprints during JH.
IBs
Fixed: we restored functionality of UI for IBs. Players can now swap sides and be excluded from an IB.
Technical
Fixed: we restored the ability to “Destroy” a trade post for players on non-seasonal “Arden”.
We appreciate community feedback regarding our ongoing optimization interventions. Each and every log sent by players after huge PvP battles help us get to the crux of the matter. To those of you who sent logs after intense PvP last week - thank you!
Today we launch the test of our second intervention which aimed to reduce lag and packet loss. We welcome any feedback on how performance will change, it will greatly help us with further fine tuning.
Unfortunately, there have repeatedly been discrepancies in "seasonal" UI regarding the duration of the "Ages". We would like to extend our apologies for this one, as w understand that it is extremely frustrating when you have to change plans last minute. Therefore, let us put the official dates for Ages 3-5 and the end of "Season 1":
start of Age 3 - May 13th,
start of Age 4 - June 24th,
start of Age 5 - August 26th,
end of "Season 1" - October 28th
