SERVER PATCH 1.19¶

October 22^nd, 2026¶

This is a smaller patch to address a few issues to the current rift season system, dueling, while it introduces a new concept to OvC called War Calls

The countdown on an explosion potion will only display for the person who throws it
You cannot snoop or steal from pack animals owned by Young players
All Rift Seasons mobs and bosses have a chance at dropping a statue
You can only trick or treat in towns
Large groups now share a capped reward pool (what five top damage dealers would earn), split by damage dealt. Groups of five or fewer are unchanged

Dueling has been rebuilt. Type [duel anywhere to open the new dueling board.

Your party is your team. Choose casual or ranked, a 5, 10 or 15 minute limit, best of 1 or 3, and whether the duel is open to anyone, your guild or one rival
The fight starts once everyone reaches Dawn and a pit is free. Rematch with one click afterwards
Supplies are still free and the killing blow knocks you out instead of killing you
When the time limit runs out, healing stops, nobody can hide, and the pit drains everyone's life
Ranked 1v1 duels pay War Tokens win or lose, and each month the top three earn titles, War Tokens and trophies
Every Saturday at 8:00 PM Central (will expand over time if there's interest), alternating a ranked 1v1 cup and a Shuffle cup with random teams. The winner is Reigning Cup Champion until the next one

See the Dueling page for full details.

When both factions have players out, a War Call names one outpost and makes it the place to fight.

A War Call can sound once both sides have at least 2 active players online, with at least 3 hours between calls and no more than 3 in any 24 hours
Both factions hear which outpost and where 10 minutes ahead, and it's posted on Discord. Outposts held by the season leader come up more often
The outpost changes hands fast during a War Call: captures and broken assaults lock it for only 5 minutes
The faction that holds the outpost for more of the 45 minutes earns 720 season score, double at the Shrine of War. Both sides have to show up for it to count
Spend time on the capture ground or help kill an enemy inside. The winning side earns 30 War Tokens and 5 Faction Points, and everyone else who took part earns 10 and 1
Answer the Call, Hold the Call and Blood on the Banner, with new titles to earn
The War Map marks the War Call outpost with a gold star, and [OvcPoints shows it too
The client now outlines every outpost on the ground and on the world map in the color of the faction that holds it, and the War Call outpost in gold
