Features

Expanded Mega Dregs and Shadows 

The Dregs and Shadow Maps have been redesigned to support siege times and zones spread between multiple regions around the world in a single campaign.

• Siege Zones now have timers that are split between the US East, US West, EU, and AUS at 7-11 local time.  Additionally, these zones will be hosted in the appropriate region to give a better ping time for players in that region.
• There are now 4 Adventure Zones that have connections to each of the Temple zones.  These Adventure Zones do not have any Siege Objectives. 
• There are currently no zones that have a Castle Stronghold
