Mainframe Industries has been doing kind of a lot of talking about Pax Dei’s PvP revamp, and now it’s got a name and a date. It’s called Verse 4: Raiders of Lyonesse, and it’s launching… tomorrow. So hey, at least you don’t have to keep waiting.
As previously discussed, the Lyonesse PvP zone has been expanded to widen the territory, with more enemies, resources, rewards, and fast travel. We also spy RP clothes, HUD and icon changes, prettier skies, the revamped lobby with new tutorial screens, and a more detailed character creation system, complete with age and complexion sliders. But the major content here really is the first phase of the PvP overhaul:
“We’re making some big changes to the PvP zone, Lyonesse. First of all, the whole zone is much bigger to support the new gameplay. There are several unique landmark locations in the form of ruined old cities, hinting at the province’s rich history. We’re also adding some new sites in the form of watchtowers, serving as convenient places for you to repair your gear and craft some items. Since the new Lyonesse is so big and we wanted to make Fast travel more consistent, we’re now enabling fast travel within Lyonesse between the ruined cities and province gateways. The Fast Travel points exist as Petrae Dei in the four corner areas of Lyonesse, and you’ll have to collect the Fast Travel points in each of these locations the same way as the Petrae Dei in other provinces.”
There’s a lot of confusion in the Discord about the timeline of the phases, verses, and launch here, but it does sound like the launch is still coming before the end of the year – and this isn’t it.
