Greetings,
We are pleased to announce that New Legacy Publish 1 is now live on the New Legacy shard! You can read the full publish notes here. This is our first publish to New Legacy post launch and includes a host of quality of life upgrades, bug fixes, world loot drops, a legendary artifact trader and more!
With this first release to New Legacy we want to outline how the deployment process will work for this and future publishes. Publishes to New Legacy will go live and there will then be a week long “evaluation” period. During this period there may be unintended issues that may result in changes or rollbacks. We do not expect these to be common nor frequent but wanted New Legacy players to be aware. We look forward to hearing your feedback and thank everyone who has participated in forging their new Britannian Legacy!

Greetings,
We’ve received reports and have investigated instances of latency associated with the Treasures of the Shattered Sanctum event during peak population periods. In an effort to address this concern we will be pushing a hotfix beginning with North American shards during each shard’s regularly scheduled maintenance on November 21, 2024.
As a result of this change non-paragon spawn will no longer leave corpses when killed during the event. This change will not impact your ability to earn points towards a minor artifact drop or your ability to qualify for that drop when killing monsters.
This is not a one-size-fits-all solution but strikes at the heart of where we believe most of the performance hiccups are originating. We will continue to monitor the event and make any necessary changes to optimize performance.
