Wait long enough, and a class or build that you enjoy will most likely enjoy a renaissance as the developers give it some major love. For those testing out Gloria Victis, it’s a good time to be a tank. This past week, the developers beefed up its mobile juggernauts, increasing the effectiveness of heavy armor against slashing and piercing damage.
Another big change? Artificial intelligence improvements. “From now on the NPC enemies will do their best to reach your back and deal a painful strike using such advantage, as well as try to evade arrows while closing distance to archers and keep at the edge of your attack range in close quarters. More great changes to AI coming in the nearest future as well!”
Following this patch was a minor hotfix that further increased heavy armor’s capabilities (this time, against one-handed swords) and optimized the game so that it would perform better. Want a more in-depth look on the game? MOP’s Matt Daniel deep-dived it over the summer.
