In a future update we'll be converting Koltyr to a standard combat continent that opens and closes during off-peak hours. Dev Note: Koltyr has been in kind of a weird spot, in addition to being plagued with technical issues.Īs a VR zone, it often stood as more confusing for new players than helpful as its intended testing ground.

Koltyr Koltyr has been disabled for the time being, and will be re-introduced as a standard combat zone at a later date. With this update, factions can force continents to turn over more quickly by completing strategic map goals, and continent event wins will progress players toward the final battle over a continent. Each continent-event win is worth 10 strength, and is the only permanent form of Empire Strength.Ĭutoff territories do not contribute to Empire Strength. Maintaining ownership of a major facility is worth 15 strength or 20 on Esamir. Maintaining ownership of the center base is worth 15 strength or 30 on Esamir. When a faction reaches Empire Strength or more, a Meltdown alert fires off provided no other events are currently active, and the victorious faction will lock the continent. Continent Rotation and Empire Strength Territory now matters at all times, as each empire gains strength when key facilities are captured, and when continent events are won. Downtime is expected to last no longer than 2 hours. Downtime is expected to last up to 4 hours. For that reason we're expecting servers to be down no longer than 2 hours aiming for 1.
