A new Raid Season begins October 12—and with it comes an entirely new raid: The Gloom-Sink.

Once known as Sunhaven, this peaceful village has been twisted into a threshold between worlds. A fanatical cult prepares the way for Morthur, a merciless ruler from the Ceaseless Eternity, to enter our realm and claim it as his own.

Venture through corrupted lands, confront Morthur’s followers, free imprisoned souls, and survive the horrors that have crossed over from his timeless domain. Morthur’s influence will pursue heroes throughout the raid, culminating in a final battle against the ascendant tyrant himself.

The Gloom-Sink also introduces two exclusive relics:

• Mirror of Retribution, featuring Gloom Ward
• Dirge Flute, featuring Dark Resonance

Progress through Visions of Eternity to earn new seasonal rewards:

• Eye Mark
• Eye Crest
• Eye Banner
• Eternity Hound
• Gold Eternity Fiend

The new season also features the return of Bellamere Palace, the Flooded Cloisters, the Rookery, Bandicott Woods, Tempest’s Reach, and the Catacomb.

Raid Season 13: Visions of Eternity runs from October to March 2027.

Gather your allies and prepare yourselves. The way into the Gloom-Sink is open. Morthur is watching.

Friends

• Re-introduced the Guild List to the Friends menu.

thank you for this one very very much!!
and i can't wait for the new raid season!!!

• Seasonal raid rewards now unlock solely through Dungeoneering level. The requirements are:
  • Bronze: Level 10
  • Silver: Level 20
  • Gold: Level 40
  • Platinum: Level 70

i don't get this one, it seems like a huge gap between level 40 to level 70! does it include an increase in DL exp? it feels unfair for non AS members as it takes them multiple runs to catch up (more than double the amount of AS memebers)

Note: This Build will go LIVE on Wednesday. The Raid Season will start automatically late Sunday night/early Monday morning.

Dear Damon Otter,
I have a small QoL suggestion regarding Ardent Time.
Currently, Ardent Time is shown in the bottom-right corner of the world map. I think it would be much more convenient if it were also displayed near the minimap in the top-right corner of the screen.
This way, players could quickly check Ardent Time without having to open the world map, especially when waiting for time-related events.
It could be kept very simple and unobtrusive just a small sun/moon icon with the current Ardent Time, so it doesn't get in the way during normal gameplay.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and for all the work you continue to put into Villagers & Heroes!

Not happy about this change. I sure hope you plan on greatly upping the amount of XP earned for dungeoneering, because it's going to be miserable for anyone who doesn't love raids. I don't care about this particular raid season, as I don't even want the creepy rewards but if it stays this way it's going to make it extremely time consuming and difficult to get multiple toons to lvl 70.
I feel like you have been slowly making things worse and worse for anyone who has multiple toons, like you are flat out discouraging it, borderline punishing players who have several toons. It's boring and miserable enough to earn the platinum rewards as 7 toons the way it's been and this will be 10x worse.

Very nice so players who doesnt have time to play or hate running raids boring multiple thousands times will not get nothing anymore...

Once upon a time during a stream for an early raid season the devs said something along the lines of they don’t expect every player to be able to get platinum rewards every raid season so there Basically saying you have to grind at it a bit harder if you want the top rewards however even if you cant complete plat raids (or even silver ones) you will be recognised for your efforts in the long run.

The alternative was players of substandard understanding of the game being carried to get rewards. can’t tell you how many times I helped(carried) someone to get gold only for them to ask let’s do plat now. There’s me thinking well your clearly not ready for gold and now you want plat?
