Thanks for the feedback @chain! We’ve shared this with the team!

We’ll have an incentive and in-game PTR events! More information to come next week. And the PTR will continue to be updated on a rolling basis moving forward.

I completely understand everyone was super excited for some of the information we teased out, but it’s still incoming.

PTR: January 19th, 2023 Patch Notes

Please note that this list is not all encompassing and is intended as an early look into a number of changes included within the most recent PTR build. This change list will be regularly updated, up through retail release of the game version.

We have re-introduced Leaderboards during this update. Please provide your feedback ...

Greetings Adventurers,

(Re)Introducing Leaderboards!

Leaderboards

Leaderboards will reward players, Companies, and Factions across the following categories:

• Mutated Expeditions
• Faction War
• Vs. Environment
• Vs. Players
• Trade Skills

Every category contains subcategories. For example, Faction War includes Territory Control Score. Finish in the top 10 of any Leaderboard at the end of weekly, monthly, or quarterly rotations for exclusive skins, achievements, and titles. Rewards cannot be earned in the PTR.

The team has posed some questions; please feel free to copy and paste the following as a template:

• Is the Leaderboard discoverable in the UI?
• Does this iteration of the Leaderboard include a good spread of boards/stats being tracked?
  • What might you want to see boards for in future versions?
• ...

Hello there @chain,

Thank you for reaching out with this valuable feedback, I will be moving your post to that category so it can get the attention from the correct staff!

Have fun in Aeternum!

You’ll still be able to transfer to the specific world within that region since it puts you in a random one.

Then I might just have not seen the report myself, but the team will have! Thank you for confirming.

News on a new batch of world merges will be shared shortly. Keep tight!

Snowballing is definitively a thing with world populations. Some folks do or do not want something, and the slightest change becomes an unstoppable trend in a self-fulfilling prophecy. People keep shouting a particular world is dying and guess what happens? Avalon didn’t get a merge previously because it was still relatively healthy (not booming, but ...

Looks like this is a new, different issue than before (which was fixed). Unfortunately each time we’ve checked in on it in live, I haven’t been able to see a problem, but we’re also putting it through testing on our end to see what’s going on!

Agreed! We don’t always get things right but the good intent is there along with the desire to fix our missteps when they happen.

Hi there! These are really great questions and examples you brought up. This thread has also lead to internal discussions about this topic and I’m going to see if I can get more clarity around whether these strategies will be fair use or not.

Saludos, aventureros:
