Summary
Region Merges & Infrastructure
This update marks a significant milestone for Throne and Liberty infrastructure, merging Eastern, Western, and South American regions into a single 'Americas' region to improve player density. European and Japanese servers are also undergoing consolidations.
Starbloom Festival & Morph Madness
The Starbloom Festival brings spring-themed activities including Morph Races and a daily 'Oremong Hide and Seek' event with exclusive rewards. Simultaneously, 'Morph Madness' begins—a community-driven elimination bracket where players' usage and social support determine which morph receives a new skin.
Combat & Shield Meta Overhaul
A primary focus of this patch is addressing the dominance of shields. Most shield health and healing reduction debuffs have had their durations increased by 50%. Furthermore, several weapons like the Longbow and Crossbow have received new specializations specifically designed to strip or bypass shields, while defensive staples like Blessed Barrier and Distortion Veil have seen direct nerfs.
