Wiki Upcoming Changes!

[Riku]

Hi, Dexters!

Here is the latest changelist for upcoming update on union server!
Most of these changes were installed on summer x300 Skadi server, but today we slighly updated this list.
Also keep in mind that we have plan to make some additional changes before the next x50 seasonal server.
Maybe not so much changes with skills, but some gameplay changes is coming before november 5

General changes
Changed prices at the Hellbound Shop.
Added new items to Olympiad Shop.
Changed items at Loyalty Shop.
Improved assortment of Town Auctioneers at Giran, Aden and Rune.
Implemented new TvT system.
Improved assortiment of Giran Harbor Fair.

Epic Respawn Changes
Valakas and Antharas will only appear in the world during the weekend to make it comfortable for players from all regions to fight for them.
If the dragon is not killed within 12 hours of spawning, it will die automatically without a drop and you will have to wait a week or two before its next respawn.
Antharas will appear every Saturday between 23:00 and 0:00 (UTC +2).
Valakas will appear every 2 weeks on Sunday from 23:00 to 0:00 (UTC+2).
Freya, according to the same logic, will always appear on Friday from 23:00 to 00:00 (UTC + 2).
The rest of the bosses will keep their current logic, but the new time of their appearance is indicated in the table:



I also want to note that for Europe the UTC + 2 time zone is less comfortable in summer, but in autumn, due to the transition of most European countries to winter time, the situation will look more comfortable.
