would really like to show appreciation to the devs thank you for not giving up on this this is one of the best vampire games we got in a long time i cant wait to see what they bring us
yeah this upcoming update is much more substantial than what I was expecting so I think this will take longer probably another April-May release next year
I was looking to do another playthrough of this game with increasing tile cap and floor limit for a bigger castle, so I'll love coming back to a new update. A new area will be great, I can understand why people were a bit upset they couldn't build in the Dracula area, but thematically it makes sense why they wouldn't allow it. Dracula is deeply tied to the land he lairs at, no other vamp should have claim in his region.
I live this game.these devs dont get enough credit man. And i hope they do at some point. I need to jump into their discord and talk to one of their devs and give tips on keeping the game alive more that could be within their power to do so without the unrealistic expectations. But these devs are beyond badass and i wish them the absolute best success
To me the New Area would be a Desert Biome (I take the hint from the art of the new enemy's amulet that has a snake encircling it and looks a bit Ancient Egyptian), maybe one where the sun never sets, to create an opposite to Gloomrot North and Mortium, where, even during the day, the sun doesn't bother you. It would also be the opposite to all the other Biomes where there is water/precipitation/greenery of some sort. While I am happy for this new Biome, I wish the Hallowed Mountains would be fleshed out, it seems like a concept that never got fully developed. And then there are things strewn about the map that to me feel like hints that have potential for developing: What are the two Mortium style bridges in the southern part of Farbane? Was this some sort Draculin outpost in between the two gateways to the Netherworld (the place where we awaken at the beginning of the game)? What is it with that stair going down a level in the Forgotten Cemetery? Maybe an access to a Crypt? Some kind of Dungeon Area that is (technically) on another plane as the Vardoran map itself? Will there be other accesses to the "Crypt" throughout Vardoran? Could that be used as a two-way alternative to the caves that are set up to work North-to-South? Would this require something analogous to the Blood Key to unlock so that progression isn't spoilt? And, while we do defeat Dracula in the Shadow Realm, his body remains inside that giant blood crystal in Dracula’s Demise, like an amber fossil. While we do farm for blood crystal around this, why shouldn’t we take to the big blood crystal with good old big mace? Lastly, what about the Sacrificial Site in Dunley? For now, it just sits there…
I've wondered about these things, too. A few people are guessing a desert biome. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess maybe an island? The fishing ports in silver light don't lead to anywhere.
Both a system to merge gems and legendary weapons to get desired items, and PVP Arenas, are features which I had talked about and asked for in My beta feedback for 1.0. I could already see then that all the levels of RNG in gear would be a huge pain point for many, myself included. And I like pvp, but not the wild west that is raiding and world pvp 😂 Seeing them be added, and both in one update no less... ia a huge win and can bet I am super duper excited for this 🎉 Next we just need a better end game challange. My hope is for mini dungeons so you have larger enemy encounter, environmental hazards, and a boss fights all roll into one. Bonus points if they get handful of difficulty levels for you to see just how far you can go, 😂
I doubt they would add dungeons. In a previous interview I had with Jeremy (Community Manager) he mentioned an issue of people potentially hoarding shards inside dungeons or something to that effect (if I remember correctly). I hope that the "invading" faction is actually going to introduce mob raids on castles and things like that. Would be pretty neat.
@XoloQueue I remember that interview actually (watched your vid ❤️) and I believe it was specifically about instanced dungeons, with emphasis on the instanced part. That would allow players to sort of hide away in a place no one could get to (at least for a little bit) 🤭 I think with a little extra thought, and a slightly unique approuch, they could pull something similar to a dungeon off. Wouldn't neccessarily need to be instanced, though does need some sort of added limitations to reduce any more neferious possible cheese. Would be worth it in my opinion at least 😂 But hey, either way these additions are great and on the money for what the community would love. Ofc they can't address everything in one patch, but this is already a lot and it's not even everything coming with 1.1. Excited for sure 🥳
I think the new area will be the opposite of silverlight. Like the church of light vs the church of darkness, dark priests, cult leaders & followers, maybe wizards and witches etc. Right next to each other? The rivalry would be cool
I want to ask, in 1.1 what happens to our save? Since there is a new area and enemies what happens to the Castles we have built? Do they just get wiped from existence? If so, then that sucks... I grew attached to my castles.
The devs haven't announced anything about wipes yet, but in the past, big updates would also come with a wipe requirement in order to apply the new patch. Old saves aren't compatible with newer versions of the game, so wipes usually happen about once a year whenever the devs put out new content. That schedule may change, though now that the 1.0 version of the game is out, but I think it's safe to assume we'll wipe our castles. If I remember correctly, you can save your castles to revisit if you save the world files separately and then play an older version of the game in order to keep your castle (not sure if this applies to PS5 players tho). It might be more trouble than it's worth, and the new stuff we get with every major patch has always been worth the wipe imo. I hope this makes sense.
This update is 100% oriented for PvE players who wants to try PvP without joining a PvP server (they even wrote that in the post) Pvp community was asking for something else since 2 years and have been totally ignored, and is proper balance patchs and Raiding system overhaul. If pvp players want to arena pvp they just can go V arena, jump in with BiS and customizable gear, lot of QoL and ESPECIALLY they can fight people from every server. Pvp servers dies fast snd this isnt going to fix it. Honestly from a PvP player point of view the only good change is the fusion forge.
If we go based off previous releases for major updates, we're looking at sometime around May. That being said, the game is now at 1.0, so I'm hoping for a faster update cycle. Like once every 6 months instead of once a year. Please don't eat tomatoes.... LOL
Usually, the big updates are free, but are released with an optional paid DLC. The paid DLC is usually horse or form skins, outfits, and decorations. If they follow the same trend they've done in the past, you won't have to pay for this update.
I gotta know… when this update comes out, is your old save file completely wiped? I literally just found out about this, and I can’t even begin to describe how devastating that is. I have hardly no experience with games that use servers, and since I play games to get away from people, I only do solo private play, PvE. Apparently all servers are wiped when new content is released? I have over 300 hours in, and 5 castles that are completely decked out in different themes. Why would they erase all your progress in a game that literally focuses on building? I wouldn’t mind having to start over, but do you honestly lose your old save file? Does anyone know for sure how this works on a private server for ps5? Shouldn’t wipes only affect multiplayer PvP?
Great question! Whenever a large patch comes out, previous saves usually become incompatible with the newest version of the game. The reason why is because of how the devs set up their game. So in order to implement major changes, they need to release a newer version of the game. I know it sounds devastating, but there's a few things to keep in mind. 1) This usually only happens once a year 2) The devs give a heads up in advance before it happens 3) The wipes are worth it (at least so far imo) It become a normal part of playing the game after a while. The good thing is that the wipes are infrequent when it comes to the entire player base. I'm also a mostly PvE solo player and I can tell you from the two previous wipes (Gloomrot and 1.0) that I was around for, the wipe has always been worth it because of the amount of changes or additions to the game. If you would like to keep your castles, you could keep copies of those save files, and revert to an older version of the game to see them. I would recommend instead recording a walkthrough of your castle for the memories. Either way, it all boils down to technological reasons. With every major update comes a new wave of castles and possibilities for them (new furniture items, etc.) I hope that helps explain this a bit.
@ I appreciate the info. It does still suck though, haha. In a game where they encourage building, wipes definitely hurt the game a lot. I still love the game, but losing a 6 story castle you’ve spent hundreds of hours on just isn’t worth it. Every piece of carpet, down to every single different colored light, to every decorated pillar, just all gone. I wouldn’t wanna give it up, not even for new content. It definitely makes building pointless in the long run. I wish they could implement a new system for people who only play PvE single player. I feel like wipes is something only PvP players support, or atleast the majority of them. But I understand that servers and the way the game is set up, it’s gotta happen unfortunately. Thanks again for the info.
They need to bring back full loot official servers as a Solo that leveled the playing field for me when plaing on Quad servers otherwise excited for new stuff
They neex to expend the frost regio with some unique enviremental hazards. Like a snowstorm (kinda like that creature abillity) witch makes it harder to see and maybe some damage over time if your not "warm clothed" problebly a cape And just in general more things to do in that regio. I still think a lot of abillity's are kinda usless and need to be ampt up for pve.
@@XoloQueue Arenas and duels already exist in custom maps and they are dead. They basically listened to less than 5.000 sweatlords who still play the game for pvp. But guess what. They missed the rest 145.000 people's opinions cause those players are gone. Most players didn't pick V Rising to play arena or duel. They picked the game to survive and play a role in a fantasy SURVIVAL ROLE playing game. They should expand on those things. Having an extra zone with a few new V bloods will not help with player retention. It will only keep the game going for a month or two just like the previous updates. If they want to fix player retention they have to add depth to the SURVIVAL and the ROLE aspects of the game. In what world having access to every single magic school, weapon, spell and build at any point of the game helps with player retention? I'll answer that, NONE. There's no role cause every single player runs the same build, so combining weapons is a bad idea just like arenas and duels. I have a few very simple and fun solutions for player retention. They should have players pick a school magic path at some point and a seconday one later in the play through. That path needs to have depth and uniqueness. Also they should add more random and exciting drops for players to have the incentive to go out and farm, that would keep the map active and alive. Those two things i bet will make players want to keep playing only to discover more items and builds "ROLES". And that's just a quick fix on top of my head. Also, they need to add a queue system with 75 players or something that is fixed and that map will exist untill there are a few vampires left who conquered the map and that should be rewarding . Instead they listened to a few battlerite sweatlords who still play the game only to abuse broken builds and get attention for that. So, making the game a sweatlords playground is a fucking bad idea. If i want PURE pvp I'll go play a moba or a fighting game like street fighter. They also need to remove the ridiculous 9 weapon swap, cause again if i wanted to be a pro sweatlord I'd play mortal kombat to execute fatalities with 10 buttons. Weapons should also have depth in customization and up to two should be allowed at a time cause it only makes sense. I see that the devs are out of touch atm, so I'm losing hope.
LOL. I love the way you describe things. Makes me laugh. xD In all seriousness though, I think you have a valid point and some good ideas. That's a really interesting perspective I haven't considered, probably cuz I mostly play solo.
@@Miuacc-xr7dtYou are really missing the point, the changes are for PvE players who doesn't want to join PvP servers. PvP players have V arena that had QoL mods, best and customizable gear and doesn't rely in a single server population. PvP servers dies fast, like in 2 or 3 weeks and a "in server arena" won't change it. This patch is 100% oriented for PvE.
One thing that V Rising needs is some more cosmetic items.
would really like to show appreciation to the devs thank you for not giving up on this this is one of the best vampire games we got in a long time i cant wait to see what they bring us
Open world dueling and Arenas are nice additions as well more weapon variety and an entire new region
Yeah I really look forward to it!
I thought the update would only include a new dlc collaboration, a few tweaks and minor changes, I did not expect a new region so that was a surprise😮
yeah this upcoming update is much more substantial than what I was expecting so I think this will take longer probably another April-May release next year
I'm thinking the same
i cant wait im so hype
Same! Thanks for watching! :D
I gotta watch it back!

Anyway, thanks for watching! Have a great weekend! 💜
Looking at the new enemy's appearance makes me feel like they will use the same style of magic as bane and leandra
So i just bought this game and was wondering if it was a done deal but im happy that its still growing
I think the new area will be the opposite of silverlight. Like the church of light vs the church of darkness, dark priests, cult leaders & followers, maybe wizards and witches etc. Right next to each other? The rivalry would be cool
I enjoyed farming all of the late game items. Prolonged the reason to play and enjoyment of the game for me
Thanks for watching!
When it comes to weapons, I'd love to see a rapier.
That would be neat!
I so want my summoning focused weapon...
HEEEELL YEEEEAH!!! VRISING IS BACK

They need to come out with cross platform play
I DONT EQNT TO REBUILD MY CASTLES AGAIN!
I’m guessing a summoning / necromancer type faction who are located in a “duskwood” type feel.
That would be interesting.
Desert, jungle, transylvania etc
Yes cross play with ps5 is a must I posted in x in vrising about it hope they read those and try to make that happen. Ps5 op
if this update isn't out this year I'm going to eat a whole can a tomato soup( I'm allergic to tomatoes ) and say stunlock sent me the soup
