Welcome to
Gloria Victis game.info

Hello warriors!

This week we have something big: the updated Catacombs event is live! A new entrance has been added, so the event now features all 3 nations, it also has been moved to the central part of the map, hence improving the game’s world balance. The location’s layout has been slightly updated as well. We also added the 3rd “Crafting – Inn event” between Ulfgard and Seaclaw. Check these changes on your own!

Moreover, among many gameplay improvements, there are further solutions to prevent toxic behaviors. Just within the last 4 days, we had to mute/ban almost 20 players for the toxicity against other users. 18 of them targeted the other nation players. While obviously, people who reported them were not happy with being personally attacked – we know that almost all of the punished users are not happy in the end. Also, we are spending about 2 hours a day of one of our team members just to handle all reports on such issues – which means it is an entire week of work hours every month, spent just on handling the toxicity that people throw at each other. In this case, no one wins, except the players who enjoy harassing other people.

For that reason we have chosen to make the language written by other nation players unreadable for others, unless the players are in the arena. Every nation, and every origin has its own words set being shown while using whisper or say chat to another nation user (for example, Sangmarians have different language than the Azebian characters). We believe that, thanks to these changes, we will be able to greatly decrease the overall toxicity, make Gloria Victis much more enjoyable and let us focus on the most important thing – improving the game.

See you in battle!
