v2.8.3 Patch Notes

May brings the warmth of early summer on the last breeze of spring, ushering everyone into the summer festivities! The new Expedition Battle Pass and season merger await lords to conquer the Legion of Frostborne with greater prowess! The developers have prepared a series of optimizations and surprises for a revolutionary season. Please read on!

What's New

1. Season Merger

To optimize the Legion of Frostborne experience, we will be adjusting the current season system.

1) Season and Level Cap Adjustments:

A. Seasons 2 and 3 will be merged, introducing a new season system: Preparation Season, Season 1, Season 2, and Conquest Season.

B. Season Level Cap Adjustments

Original Season System and Corresponding Level Caps:

Level Caps After Season Merger:

2) Season Server Adjustments:

A. Servers in the original Preparation Season and original Season 1 will enter the new Season 1 (Level 50) once the current season ends, and will then progress through the new Season 2 and Conquest Season.

B. Servers in the original Season 2 will undergo server mergers after their current season ends. Once the merger is complete, they will enter the Conquest Season preparation zone, skipping Season 3.

C. Servers that have just entered Season 2 will proceed directly to the Conquest Season after the current season ends, shortening wait times and accelerating progression.

D. Servers currently in Season 3 will continue their existing Expedition Season unaffected, and will enter the Conquest Season once it concludes.

3) Season Display Optimization

Season names have been updated on the Event Rules page, and server icon colors have been optimized for clearer identification:

The original Season 1 servers are now labeled as Season 1 (Revised) and marked in red.

The original Season 2 servers are marked in red.

The original Season 3 servers are now labeled as Season 2 (Revised).

4) Season Balance Adjustments

A. Servers in the Preparation Season will receive seasonal resource compensation based on the number of days since their launch.

B. The Horn of Expedition (season buff) will enhance building and research speed, as well as resource production, based on the average player stats in the Preparation Season.

C. Reward quantities for Legion of Frostborne in Season 1 and Season 2 (corresponding to the original Season 1, Season 2, and Season 3 servers) have been adjusted.

D. Season 1 at Levels 40 and 50 will feature different Legion rewards and mission difficulty targets due to the difference in level caps.

E. The Conquest Season matchmaking algorithm has been optimized. Servers newly entering the Conquest Season will receive adjusted matchmaking weights to ensure fairer battles and a smoother experience.

F. Due to season merges, resource distribution and event rewards will be adjusted accordingly for each server.

2. Server Transfer

1) Updated Server Transfer Rules:

A. The target server must be in the Preparation Zone.

B. Transfers are only allowed between servers in the same season. Cross-season transfers will be disabled.

C. Transfer item cost has been adjusted: After the update, the number of items required will depend on how many times you've transfered during the current season—the more transfers, the higher the cost.

2) Special Handling for S1/S2 Servers:

A. Servers still in Season 1 or Season 2 during the May update will receive special handling. Their server icons will be marked in red, and transfer restrictions will apply.

B. Servers with the same icon color can freely transfer between each other. Red-icon servers can transfer to yellow-icon servers, but yellow-icon servers cannot transfer to red-icon servers.

3. New Expedition Battle Pass

Availability: Conquest Season

(If the Conquest Season is in a war period during the update, the feature will be postponed to the next war period.)

Access: Legion Achievements

Feature Overview: During the Legion of Frostborne war period, the Expedition Battle Pass will be available. Lords can earn Battle Pass EXP by completing Legion Achievement tasks, level up the pass, and claim corresponding rewards.

The Battle Pass duration aligns with the server’s current war period. If the war period ends early, the Battle Pass will also end accordingly.

If a lord transfers to another server during the Battle Pass period, all Legion Achievements and Battle Pass progress (including paid unlocks and task completion) will be reset. Please transfer with caution.

Feature Iterations

1. Dragon Talent unlock timing adjusted (Season 2).

2. Inner City resource panels consolidated by type.
