Lands Awakened Patch 2 - Ver. 19.020.1 - December 20, 2021

Crystal Spider Spawn Changes

• Crystal Spiders can now spawn directly in the open world:
  
  • Previously only spawned via lesser mobs being upgraded
    
  • Not enough mobs were reaching this stage, resulting in less global Might gain than intended
    
  • The overall number in the world should now be higher as a result of this change
    

Combat Balance Changes

Holy Staffs
Previously, Holy Flash was taking over the healing meta. With its high energy efficiency and Heal per Second, it was outperforming all other Healing options on the Q-slot. The Energy Cost was therefore drastically increased, and the cooldown slightly increased, to reduce the overall healing output per second and make it a bit less spammable.

Hello everyone,

Gambling is a bit of a tricky topic, one in which nobody can win (pun intended).

So here’s our stance:
With the next patch, dropping on May 5th, there will be an explicit rule making it clear that gambling and games of chance are not allowed, to avoid any confusion. However, considering the fact that this kind of activity is considered illegal in certain jurisdictions, we already consider it a violation of our T&C, particularly §13.1 (Users are obliged to…(...)comply with applicable laws and all rights of third parties when using the Services.), and have to step in.

Addendum May 05:

As a follow up to the above statement, some players have asked us whether someone could get around the “no gambling” restrictions by turning their games into “games of skill” instead of chance.

First of all, there are many games that contain chance and skill elements. If these games are run in a professional man... Read more

Hello dear Adventurers!


As you have most likely noticed, there are mounts in all colors roaming Albion at the moment.

Although it looks very festive, it is actually not meant to be the Albion version of a Christmas Tree but is in fact a bug that has snuck into Patch 1.

We will relieve the mounts of their furry fiasco with the upcoming Patch 2.

So just for clarification: We have not released any new skins or mounts, so please don't get scammed by people trying to sell them to you


Kind regards,

Hello everyone!


Due to investigations about a potential bug in the feature, we need to temporarily disable the option to buy loadouts from the marketplace. It will be available again after the next server maintenance(Dec.17, 10-11UTC).

The market is still available as always, and you are still able to create and equip loadouts, but you won't be able to use the "buy loadout" function in the marketplace. The game will give you an error message when trying to do so.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience! If anything changes until tomorrow, we will keep you updated.

UPDATE: The loadouts are now available again! Thank you for your patience!

Kind regards,

Lands Awakened Patch 1 - Ver. 19.010.1 - December 13, 2021

Headquarters Hideout Requirements Updated
With this patch, the requirements for declaring a Headquarters Hideout have been updated. The changes can be summarized as follows:

• The Top 600 Season rank requirement is removed
  
• A Headquarters can now be declared immediately after the necessary Season Point requirement has been reached
  

This means that a guild can declare a Headquarters based on Season Points earned in the last or current season. For more details, as well as the current point requirements by zone quality and tier, see this forum post: ... Read more

Hello everyone,


We are currently investigating a problem concerning the Conqueror’s Challenge:

In some rare cases, the Conquerors Challenge does not reset as would be intended.

To clarify this: The Challenge should reset every week unless

1. You did not complete the challenge or
   
2. You completed the challenge but were not able to claim the chest (for example if you didn’t have premium status activated)
   

We would like you to report in this thread if your Conqueror's Challenge did not reset after you have claimed your chest the week before.

For these reports, please make a screenshot of your Conqueror's Challenge screen and send it into this channel
(you can cut out all the other parts of the screenshot as long as the Conqueror’s Challenge is visible)

This will help us investigate the issue, thanks for the help!


Regards,

Join these evil hordes with a new vanity set for your character, coming next week! With Yuletide celebrations all around, what better time to grab some hellish garments and spoil the party?

Stay tuned to find out exactly what’s on the way with this new set.
