As our Game Director discussed in our latest [url=https://albiononline.com/en/news/development-progress-update][b]video[/b][/url], while we've been hard at work preparing new features, we've also been supporting and enriching the current [b]Queen Update[/b]. Today' patch brings further adjustments and refinements to the [b]Smart Cluster Queue[/b] system introduced with Queen, closing a loophole that allowed large armies to lock out smaller ones, alongside other fixes and improvements.
[h3]Smart Cluster Queue Adjustments[/h3][list] [*][b]Queue Removal Protection status[/b]: players removed from a zone now receive a protected status that allows them to wait for one queue cycle[/*] [*][b]Early Retreat Debuff[/b]: players who enter via the queue and immediately leave now cannot re-queue for 10 minutes[/*] [*][b]Queue Cycle Time[/b]: increased from 90 to 120 seconds[/*][/list]
These changes are designed to better balance armies of different sizes, and to more effectively implement the goals of this system. For a more in-depth discussion of these changes, please [url=https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/131458][b]see[/b] [b]this forum post[/b][/url].
