October 23, 2022 - State of the Beta

Eden Players,

State of the Game
It has been 2 months since we opened the server for testing. We never expected the participation and support from the community! Even after these two months of testing, we are still seeing ~1k players during peak times. A sincere thank you to every player who has joined us during this period and taken the time to give helpful feedback and detailed bug reports. It has been invaluable for tuning and polishing Eden.

Realm Skill Point Cap Increase
The time has come, realm skill ability point cap is being raised to rr6! Players have been able to continue to build up realm points, and gain realm rank, but the amount of realm skill ability points they could spend has been limited. That limit has been raised to rr6!

The King's Call
The Kings of the realm have issued a call for help! Will you answer the call of your realm? Players at level 35, 40 and 45 will now be able to answer their King's call in the throne room of their capital city. Be aware, these epic quest lines are not for the faint of heart and will require one travels to the far reaches of the realm, and even into the frontlines of the frontiers! With great risk however comes great reward, including powerful accessories and a full suit of armor, crafted by the finest artisans of the realm!

Spooky Spooky Skeletons
The veil between the world of the living and the dead is at its thinnest in the realms this time of year! Players will notice some spooky changes within the world! Those wishing to gamble for their fortune (or ruin) should keep an eye out for Adrian the Traveler, seen in various starter towns and relic towns. Use caution around Adrian's familiar, you may get a trick instead of a treat!

Herald
The herald has received some updates! We are in the early stages, and while it is actively being worked on, we wanted to allow players to use some of the functionality that is there now. Visit herald to see how you, guild and realm stack up on the fight for the frontiers!

Character Planner - Champion Levels
The character planner has been updated with the available CL lines for each class! Visit : charplan and click the "misc" tab to start planning!

Champion Weapons
Champion weapons are now available from the kings of the realms. Once you reach CL 5 visit your king in the throne room of your capital city to acquire or exchange this powerful weapon. Currently single proc CL5 weapon is available, but keep an eye out for CL10 in the near future!

Off to the Races
In addition to the level 20 quest mount that offers hastener speed - players can also visit these stables in each capital to find a new Royal Horse Trader who sells all things horses. Here you can find level 50 Swift Mounts for a high price. These are non-tradeable, require level 50, and have the equivalent of red speed (176 speed). They are only usable in PvE.

Need for speed
Speed of the Hunt items have made their way to all bounty point merchants. These have 20 uses each and a cast time of 5 seconds. These can be used in RvR (out of combat). There are different levels of these Speed of the Hunt items that vary in speed value - the highest being Hastener speed. Bounty Point merchants can be found in every battleground, border keep, and relic town.

Two If By Sea
New player controlled boats have been introduced to the battlefield. These boats have high speed, are easily maneuverable by clicking on the water, and can also auto pilot to keeps by using the Realm War map teleport button. Players can purchase the following boat types from the NF relic town bounty point merchant: Scout Boat, Skiff, British Cog, Viking Longship, Galleon, Warship. See a boat with a flag you don’t like? Damage any player and it will make them go overboard. Damage the boat itself and eventually the fragile ship will sink.

Sobekite Eternal
Recently multiple 8 man groups volunteered and tested Eden’s own custom end game dungeon, Sobekite Eternal. Many deaths occurred while players learned the mechanics, but testing overall went well. Feedback was much appreciated and small tweaks to the dungeon have already been made. We also live streamed the event and peaked at almost 200 concurrent viewers!

Character Creation
No longer will new players wonder why they can’t create a specific character. We have fixed character creation so that only valid class/race combinations are available. This was quite the bug in the old code so enjoy the ease of character creation!

Update on Soldiers of The Realm
We have been hard at work behind the scenes setting up the infrastructure needed to support our Soldiers of the Realm and Deserters mechanic. Multiple engineering challenges have been met head on and conquered these past weeks and we are chipping away every day to get them in your hands! We have had multiple requests in Discord to see them in action and thanks to our lovely play testers, we have some footage to share available here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQX54rOVmeQ

Discord Partner and Patch Notes
We are now a Discord Partner! This means the Eden discord server has a few extra perks for you all to enjoy (384kbps voice bitrate, various fancy badges, banners, and invite splash images). Also, as we are now in Beta, patch notes are on full display in the discord under the Patch-Notes section. Over 10 patch notes have already been posted.

Thanks,
Eden Staff
