Thanks for the feedback! We’re always looking for ways to improve our communications so I’ll make note of this!

Greetings Adventurers,

Hi everyone!

Please see the downtime post associated with this notice here.

Greetings Adventurers,

We will be taking downtime 2022-01-19T07:00:00Z in your local timezone to address our Disabling of Character Creation.

Downtime is slated to last 3 hours (~180 minutes).

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Thank you for your patience and see you in Aeternum!

Grüße Abenteurer!

Wir pausieren derzeit die Charaktererstellung auf allen Servern/Regionen. Wir werden diesen Thread mit zusätzlichen Informationen aktualisieren, sobald diese verfügbar sind.

Vielen Dank für eure Geduld und euer Verständnis!

In addition to the backstory changes, you will find that all 3 mutated expeditions will be available simultaneously for the duration of the test cycle.

Thank you!

Greetings Adventurers,

At this time we are pausing character creations on all servers/regions. We will provide additional information when it becomes available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Greetings Adventurers,

The PTR will have a scheduled server restart at 2022-01-18T22:00:00Z in your local timezone for 1 hour (~60 minutes).

At that time, a new set of playtester backstories will be made available (replacing the older ones) which will introduce modifications for assisting in reaching higher-end Mutator expeditions. These will be available for the remainder of this cycle’s test period.

• Expedition Mutators - Difficulty 10 unlocked
• Gear boxes will provide items at Gear Score 625 (upgraded from 600)
• Territory Standing Vials provided to assist with housing purchases
• Housing Trophies and Storage Chests provided

In order to take advantage of these new backstories, you’ll need to create a new character and select the updated backstories.

Thank you for your patience and see you in Aeternum!

Hi all,

After investigation, we have determined that this issue stemmed from misleading UI which we will fix in a future update. As a result, Player to Player Trading has been re-enabled.

Thank you!

Greetings Adventurers,

We are holding a ~2 hour (120 minute) downtime starting at 2022-01-13T22:00:00Z in your local time to implement some additional changes. Stay tuned for the update that will be posted on our PTR Release notes once the PTR is live again.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!
