Unstable Warpgates Addressed an issue where continents wouldn't attempt to stabilize when populations grew too rapidly. This issue was worked around on PC last week. All continents will now flow through the single-lane, multi-lane, and fully stabilized states as intended. Populations noted from last week's update are below.

• "Partial" stabilization occurs at 100 players on the continent, or after 3 hours have passed.

All PS4 servers will come down for a new game update on Thursday, March 25, at 8:00am PT (4:00pm CET). Downtime for this update is expected to last up to 3 hours. Unstable Warpgates Amerish, Esamir, Hossin, and Indar now have a "partially" stabilized state that creates additional territory lanes along the rim of the continent, in addition to the path in the center.

• "Partial" stabilization occurs at 75 players on the continent, or after 3 hours have passed.
• "Full" stabilization occurs at 200 players on the continent, or after 5 hours have passed.

The intention behind these changes is to increase fight density on off-continents and during low-pop hours, and prevent ghost-capping of off-continents. Previous changes went too far in this regard, and the partial stabilization state will allow for more combat areas. Chapter 03 As mentioned in last week's article, we're pushing back the Chapter 03 start date, and begi... Read more
