"Territorial War Rework & PvP Arena Access"
Ether Online — Patch Notes
Territorial War
Schedule
The war has moved.
Sunday, 8:00 PM server time
Runs for 45 minutes
Elder's Retreat
The seat has been re-laid out.
Three Ether Gates now spread across the battleground — one moved, two new
Retta, Herbat Village and Pascal's Camp gates moved to new positions
Ether Gates are for guilds holding no town — capture a village and you enter through your own gate instead
The Elder's Retreat gate admits only the guild that holds it
Repairs on the Battleground
You no longer have to leave a war over broken gear.
Retta — Barrett, Nash
Herbat Village — Eloy, Eressa, Tual
Elder's Retreat — Restin, plus a second Restin posted closer to the fighting
Pascal's Camp — Linda
Repair only — buying and selling are closed during a war, and every other NPC still refuses
Arrival Protection
You cannot be damaged, stunned, rooted or knocked down for 5 seconds after arriving, whether through a gate or by respawning
It ends the moment you attack or cast — your own guild can still heal and buff you
War Stats
While you are on a battleground, the arena buttons become War Stats and War Map a couple of seconds after you arrive.
War Stats ranks every guild by villages captured, kills, damage dealt and damage taken
The board updates live while it is open
Each war's record is kept for a guild leaderboard in a future update
PvP Arena Access
You no longer have to walk back to town to queue for the arena.
Game Arena and 5 vs 5 PvP Arena buttons now show everywhere in the open world
Queue or open the arena lobby from wherever you are hunting
The buttons stay hidden inside dungeons, so a run cannot be interrupted by accident
Also hidden in private instances and inside the arenas themselves
Item Enhancement
The Advanced Reinforcement Protection Stone (Event) could not be added when enhancing — the + and - buttons stayed greyed out and the slot always read 0. This is fixed.
Now accepted in the Item Enhancement window
Works with the stones already in your bag, nothing needs to be reclaimed
Covers every copy handed out so far — the daily login rewards on days 5, 10, 15, 21 and 26, and the day 30 caches on both tracks
Protection works the same as the standard stone: the more you add, the higher the chance a failed attempt does nothing instead of dropping, resetting or destroying the item
Party Recruitment Board
Fixed parties that stayed listed on the recruitment board long after they were gone.
A listing is removed automatically once its leader is no longer in the world
A party that disbands because everyone went offline no longer leaves its listing behind
Listings are re-checked every time you open the board, so what you see is a party you can still join
A leader who drops and reconnects keeps their listing — no need to post it again
Fixes
Spectators no longer see players dash or teleport across the map
The war map now shows a town as under attack while its gate is being attacked, not only after it falls
The portable Repair Hammer now works on equipped gear, not just items in your bag
Several war messages that never appeared are now shown — gate entry refusals, the gate repair quote, and any message quoting a price
Weapon enchant glow now follows the weapon through the whole knockback — the arc and the fall — instead of hanging in mid-air until you land. Affects every enchanted weapon, off-hand, orb and shield
This is a client update — relaunch through the launcher to get the latest build. The Party Recruitment Board fix is server-side and needs no download.
