StormBorn Global Launch!

Most regions of the world should now see StormBorn: War of Legends in their app stores for iOS and Android. PvP has improved as more fresh bodies were injected into the game.




A significant number of performance improvements and game changes have occurred as of late. Chat moderation is on the way, lowered requirements for obtaining an Embassy. It used to require Stronghold 7, or about a week of play; it should be Stronghold 4 soon, which can take a day or two. This is great news for all the new players starting out!

Alliance features are also in the works, such as the ability to donate a hero for other alliance members to make use of in their army. The specifics of the feature haven't been revealed, but it was a popular feature request from HonorBound, so it's not a big shock to see a version of it here. Hopefully balance and abuse concerns are addressed before it gets added. Resetting the hero level, traits, evo and gear or some other form of control is likely to happen I'd wager.



One final piece of information that we learned from the global launch is that this game is not currently cross-platform for switching devices. What I mean by that is that a player cannot begin a new account on an iOS device and then switch to Android, or vice versa. This is likely due to the differing authentication methods used by each platform. Apple Game Center versus Google Play Games. Based on the phrasing from the devs, I would think this is something that may change in the future, but it's important to keep in mind for anyone considering a new device.




If you have any questions for me, comments are welcome!
