Good evening PWI players!

We will be having our regular server maintenance tonight at 11pm PST. Tonight's maintenance has a Patch!

This patch introduces the local version of Thursday Night Fights, as well as fixed an issue with Deicide Uncharted Paradise not dropping Zenith Skull Shard 100% of the time. TW maps will also be reset tonight, marking the start of a brand new season!

*Tentative Duration*

Maintenance is expected to last approximately 4 hours, so during that time you will not be able to access the live servers.
*Maintenance times are tentative and are subject to change at any time. Actual end times will vary depending on the progress of the maintenance.

Thank you for your patience and we apologize for the inconvenience.


- The PWI Crew

Tonight's Maintenance Question - Do you have a Christmas Tree at home? If so, show us what it looks like! If you don't have one, what's the coolest looking Christmas tree you've seen and post pictures down below!

    By Local version, do you mean it will be on your test servers? or it will be on our servers, but not Cross server.

    @masterx23 Local Server versions - it will be the weekly Thursday night tournament for each server, 20:50 local server time. Cross Server will be released proper at a later date. So yes, each server will have Thursday Night Fights but you will only be fighting opponents from across your server.

    Note that you will obtain tokens for the Cross Server qualifications in the chests that have them, however the cross server NPC will not be active at this time. We have localized the tool tip to reflect this.

    *The Lord of Paradise now has a 100% chance to drop a Zenith Skull Fragment in Deicide Mode.

    If this is correct then it's ONE skull fragment for the whole squad instead of 1 skull fragment for each member?
    If so, then this is still useless, GG. You need 61 zenith skulls, need 10 fragments for each, 610 fragments, 10% chance to get it if you're in a squad of 10, so, technically, you need around 6100 runs to get the skulls, at 1 run per day, that's over 16 whole years if you run UPD everyday.

    Sure, they are tradable, but even so... 1 per squad... this is just pure BS. G17r5 is amazing and shouldn't be handed out to just anyone, but jesus, this is dumb.

    And about the cross-server tournament, wake me up when that happens in like 6 months-1 year or something.

    @nbreaking You can still get full Zenith Skulls from participating in Thursday Night fights every week by ranking high enough. The DUP rate being incorrect was a bug that players have been reporting. Cross Server Tournament needs to have its scheduling looked at to make sure it doesn't clash or overlap with other events both local and cross. Catering to different timezones presents a unique challenge.

    I would like to say thank you @kalystconquerer#0876 and the rest of the staff for working on these issues. The Thursday night fight not being cross server might actually benefit each server better. It would be nice if more than just one fragment dropped in DUP but it's still better than UP now. Currently I have no zenith skulls and have not seen one drop in months.

    You cant believe PWI ridiculous downtimes thrown out for maintenance. One week they said 5 hours and it was up in 2. They use the same random equation for how long maintenance will take they use for changing BH. If you do BH you understand that. The servers come back after some one is done with their donuts and coffee. Could be 2 hours could be 6.......

    This is irrelevant considering like 80-90% NA members on DA are STILL screwed out of this because we work during an event we need same old same old stuff *shrugs* enjoy

    @clyknight I list tentative times in case something happens in the middle of a maintenance. We wrap up our end of work and then CN goes in and does the rest. This is the reason for variance since we never get a set time table.

    @motoor Dragon's Conquest/xTW season has ended but maps will not reset yet. This is because resetting them then leaving on a holiday would be a bad move. The Fragment drop is by design - however what was not was the fragment not dropping 100% of the time.

    Servers are live! Thank you everyone for your patience.

    @kalystconquerer#0876 can we get a fix for fourth cast armors since Players are stuck with them since support stopped offering the Revert to R9R3
