Content Updates[Time Adjustments]
- The schedules that were based on CET and PST will now be based on CEST and PDT after the maintenance.
- We will be scheduling the content operations to take place an hour earlier to match with the daylight saving time in EU and NA.
[Dungeons]- A feature was added to add level and Equipment Point restrictions for joining Instance Teams.
- We added this feature to alleviate the inconvenience of having to check each and every recruitment's Equipment Points.
- The default restrictions will be equal to the level and equipment point restrictions for initially entering the instance.
- The Fall of Hiram City was improved.
- The Entry Time was changed, and the duration was shortened. The modes were also merged into one.
- When you defeat Ipnysh Warden, a Worldgate leading to the Atrium of the Immortal Entrance will open up at the instance's entrance.
[UI]- The Family list can now be sorted the way you want.
- You can now have the list automatically sort by the list you select when using the Family Community UI.
- Each list is sorted by Ascending / Descending order, and is sorted by name if the values in the lists are the same.
- Along with the addition of the feature of sorting the Family list, a "Expand Family" button was added at the bottom of the UI when using the Expand Family feature.
- The chat window's legibility was improved.
- We wanted to improve the issue where it was difficult to differentiate the chat for Commander/Raid General/Hero. Therefore different icons will now appear in front of the character name when chatting with players who hold certain positions.
- Applied to: Hero, Guild Leader, Commander, Raid General, Raid Commander, Team Lead, Party Leader, Steward
- We also removed the bracket and seconds unit that were displayed for the chat times in order to improve legibility.
- We wanted to improve the issue where it was difficult to differentiate the chat for Commander/Raid General/Hero. Therefore different icons will now appear in front of the character name when chatting with players who hold certain positions.
[Region/NPC]- Further improved the issue where NPCs would disappear when there were too many participants.
- We have fixed the rendering issue where quest start/completion NPCs would disappear when there were too many participants in a certain region while playing one of the 4 main daily quest contents (Crimson Rift, Grimghast Rift, Shadowed Torch, or Weakened Tower). Affected contents are as below:
- Crimson Rift: Nui's Shield Recruiter at the Cinderstone Moor/Ynystere region
- Weakened Tower: Raiko
- Shadowed Torch: Scout Gaon
- Thunderwing Titan Competition: Combat Leader Dylia
- Faction Competition: Hermi / Onne
- We are planning on improving the issue for the daily/weekly quest NPC at Western/Eastern Hiram Mountains in the future as well.
- We have fixed the rendering issue where quest start/completion NPCs would disappear when there were too many participants in a certain region while playing one of the 4 main daily quest contents (Crimson Rift, Grimghast Rift, Shadowed Torch, or Weakened Tower). Affected contents are as below:
- Fixed the issue where content could be interfered in certain areas using plants.
- Plants can no longer be installed in the following areas due to the potential for interrupting gameplay: areas around Community Center Specialty Workbench, Ynystere Crimson Rift/Grimghast Rift/Shadowed Torch/Weakened Tower content areas, Hiram Rift content areas.
- The Great Prairie of the West will no longer have a Peace time period, so it will now always be a Conflict region.
- It will change into a War status during Guardian Scramble.
- A Warehouse Manager was added to the Ethereal Haven.
[Quest]- Acceptable quest groups were merged.
- To mitigate the issue where you could not accept more than a certain number of quests per group due to restrictions to the number of quests you can accept per quest group, we merged the quest groups like the following.
- Before: Race 2 / Daily 50 / Weekly 20 / Hunting 10 / Bundle 10 / Vocation 10 / General 50
- Now: Race 2 / Common 150
- The Common category will display General, Daily, Weekly, and Vocation subcategory quest groups. You can accept 150 in the Common category regardless of the number of subcategories.
- To mitigate the issue where you could not accept more than a certain number of quests per group due to restrictions to the number of quests you can accept per quest group, we merged the quest groups like the following.
- Improvements were made to the Settling a Score quest (a part of the "An Ancient Artifact quests") so that the quest is more convenient to go through.
- The Soul Extraction time was adjusted like the below, taking into consideration the increase in difficulty to complete the quest due to the peace status of the Western Hiram Mountains being removed and interruptions when defeating monsters in the middle of Soul Extraction.
- Cast Time: 1 sec -> 0 sec / Channeling duration: 9 sec -> 1 sec
- The Soul Extraction time was adjusted like the below, taking into consideration the increase in difficulty to complete the quest due to the peace status of the Western Hiram Mountains being removed and interruptions when defeating monsters in the middle of Soul Extraction.
- Improved the issue where interacting with the "Iron Chef 400" was difficult during the Hereafter Rebellion and Dancing with the Machines quests due to the difference in sizes of each race.
- We expanded the interaction range of the "Iron Chef 400" for the Dancing with the Machines quest due to the difference in sizes of the Dwarf and Warborn characters.
- Added a quest that can only be accepted while the Don't Give Up buff is active in the Hiram Rift content.
- To mitigate the issue where it was difficult for weak factions to complete the daily quest goal in the Hiram Rift content, we added a quest that can only be accepted while the Don't Give Up buff is active.
- The existing quest and quest for weak factions cannot be done simultaneously. If either one of them was already completed, then the other quest cannot be done.
- The quest's difficulty level is lower compared the the existing quest, and the rewards are also relatively lower.
- The way you accept the Aegis Island quest was changed.
- Some of the rewards that were given through achievements in the tutorial were changed to be rewarded through tutorial quests rewards instead.

Gamers love games — as do the people who make them.
GeForce NOW streams over 1,500 games from the cloud, and with the Game Developers Conference in full swing this week, today’s GFN Thursday celebrates all things games: the tech behind them, the tools that bring them to the cloud, the ways to play them and the new ones being added to the library this week.
Developers use a host of NVIDIA resources to deliver the best in PC cloud gaming experiences. CD PROJEKT RED, one of many developers to tap into these resources, recently announced a new update coming to Cyberpunk 2077 on April 11 — including a new technology preview for Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode that enables full ray tracing on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs and RTX 4080 SuperPODs.
RTX 4080 performance lights up Sofia, Bulgaria.
In addition, members in and around Sofia, Bulgaria, can now experience the best of GeForce NOW Ultimate cloud gaming. It’s the latest city to roll out RTX 4080 gaming rigs to GeForce NOW servers around the globe.
Plus, with five new games joining the cloud this week, and an upcoming marvel-ous reward, GeForce NOW members can look forward to a busy weekend of streaming goodness.
Developers, Mount Up!
GDC presents the ideal time to spotlight GeForce NOW tools that enable developers to seamlessly bring their games to the cloud. NVIDIA tools, software development kits (SDKs) and partner engines together enable the production of stunning real-time content that uses AI and ray tracing. And bringing these games to billions of non-PC devices is as simple as checking an opt-in box.
GeForce NOW taps into existing game stores, allowing game developers to reap the benefits of a rapidly growing audience without the hassle of developing for another platform. This means zero port work to bring games to the cloud. Users don’t have to buy games for another platform and can play them on many of the devices they already own.
Developers who want to do more have access to the GeForce NOW Developer Platform — an SDK and toolset empowering integration of, interaction with and testing on the NVIDIA cloud gaming service. It allows developers to enhance their games to run more seamlessly, add cloud gaming into their stores and launchers, and let users connect their accounts and libraries to GeForce NOW.
The SDK is a set of APIs, runtimes, samples and documentation that allows games to query for cloud execution and enable virtual touchscreens; launchers to trigger cloud streaming of a specified game; and GeForce NOW and publisher backends to facilitate account linking and game library ownership syncing, already available for Steam and Ubisoft games.
Content developers have a slew of opportunities to bring their virtual worlds and interactive experiences to users in unique ways, powered by the cloud.
Metaverse services company Improbable will use NVIDIA cloud gaming infrastructure for an interactive, live, invite-only experience that will accommodate up to 10,000 guests. Other recent developer events included the DAF Trucks virtual experience, where potential customers took the newest DAF truck for a test drive in a simulated world, with PixelMob’s Euro Truck Simulator 2 providing the virtual playground.
Furthermore, CD PROJEKT RED will be delivering full ray tracing, aka path tracing, to Cyberpunk 2077. Such effects were previously only possible for film and TV. With the power of a GeForce RTX 4080 gaming rig in the cloud, Ultimate members will be able to stream the new technology preview for the Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode coming to Cyberpunk 2077 across devices — even Macs — no matter the game’s system requirements.
Get Ready for a Marvel-ous Week
GeForce NOW Premium members can get this Marvel-ous reward for free first.
GeForce NOW Ultimate members have been enjoying Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ ultra-smooth, cinematic game play thanks to DLSS 3 technology support on top of RTX-powered ray tracing, which together enable graphics breakthroughs.
Now, members can fight among the legends with Captain Marvel’s Medieval Marvel suit in a free reward, which will become available at the end of the month — first to Premium members who are opted into GeForce NOW rewards. This reward is only available until May 6, so upgrade to an Ultimate or Priority membership today and opt into rewards to get first access.
Next, on to the five new games hitting GeForce NOW week for a happy weekend:
- Tchia (New release on Epic Games Store)
- Chess Ultra (New release on Epic Games Store, March 23)
- Amberial Dreams (Steam)
- Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga (Steam)
- No One Survived (Steam)
And with that, we’ve got a question to end this GFN Thursday:
You've got free rent for a year to live in a video game city of your choice, which one are you choosing?
