Major Season Overhaul Postponed - but certain features will come soon!

[Cinco]

It's a bad news, good news situation!

I mentioned in the 2026 Letter to the Community that we're designing an immense overhaul of the Seasonal LB system. Plans include the creation of an new type of competitive character, an entirely separate economic system for these characters, and loads of content changes (mostly related to loot) that combine to create a fresh, exciting, and very new Seasonal experience.

Unfortunately this effort has exploded in size and is now way bigger (and will take a lot longer) than I had anticipated!

That's the bad news: our New Season gameplay is still a long ways off and it will not be going Live anytime soon.

The good news is: we are separating the loot content, the various game systems and feature improvements that were originally part of the 'New Season' effort so that we can bring them to you sooner! Piece-by-piece, stuff like our Character Stash feature (already Live), and an upcoming loot overhaul that includes Mythic and Arcane gear that drop from Campaign content will be prioritized for release in the very near future.

Our vision of the New Season experience involved all of these things as a massive update akin to a new Campaign / Level Cap raise... but that's not realistic.

Instead of putting it ALL off 'til who-knows-when, we'll be bringing some of the juiciest parts to you first.


Figured it was time to provide an update. Please do let me know what you think!

Oh also, I plan on posting a separate discussion on elite timed LB difficulty and changes that we can make in the short-term to enrich competition. Should be an exciting thread for everyone.

We'll post individual updates on things like looted power items and other features as they come into focus.



Best wishes!

What about summer and fall expectations?

That's different content. Still on the calendar. Not related to the 'New Season' stuff.

Fix leveling from 40-91. Add quests, revert the exp decrease from being a higher level than the quest.
Asked you guys for months now.

Suggest add the only way of quest back, let the XP stay the same as we level up and not go from 1000 to 50 by level 75. Yes we want players try new maps but alone its soo hard to level

[wsssadddd]

Leveling feels weird between 60–75, not enough XP, and waiting isn’t optimal. The gameplay really starts close to cap level (86–91). Adding a couple of [always] questlines would help so it can be grindable those level gaps

Also, adding token conversions (2:1 or even 3:1) would be good.

Our biggest issue for the pass few years is slots, S L O T S. I don't expect to get 1000 slots for free but at least make it a way be can work for it. Simply adding 25 slots per 8-10k event tokens would really motivate people to farm events also, soo many ways to fix this

Adding slots on sale every month. 30% of once a month, something!

With the new season, it would be good to have gear from old expansions available through crate tokens. I believe this has already been suggested, but with the new seasonal overhaul, it would be great to see it implemented.

Of course, we can try our luck with old crates, but the odds are very low. If we only need one item to complete a set, it can become extremely expensive. I personally spent 60k plats trying to get the Blood Daggers (unfortunately, it hasn’t dropped yet), and in a few months they will be removed from the locked pool, making them even more expensive to obtain, especially since they are quite crucial (at least for me).

Long story short: allow us to buy gear with crate tokens when they are no longer on the main locked crates

Star beast should be available and bound like mechanubis sets. Rceipe looted from elite elder woods and map materials to craft 8/8

i was actually thinking of making a suggestion like introducing something like a "classic" or "anniversary" mode with similar system revamps but it seems like you guys may have already been on that path so ill just wait and see how that pans out. based on what youve said so far, im excited. hope to see this soon!

Just to be sure I got this correct what u say about the overhaul loot that can drop mythic and arcane items is to be expected on season 41 for seasonal characters right? @cinco

I would love to see an equal LB difficulty level added to the game for all players: it would be like Honor PvP, ...

This came up in another discussion - specifically about increasing the difficulty and competitiveness of elite timed LB. I like the idea and am going to see what can be done - even though it sounds very risky to me. The actual content isn't risky but the idea that players will suddenly start liking "Honor" type gear is a stretch. Players don't love Honor PvP gears. The risk for all of this surrounds the fact that the only difference would be that the gears are for PvE :-)

Our biggest issue for the pass few years is slots, S L O T S. I don't expect to get 1000 slots for free but at least make it a way be can work for it.

I hear you. Not directly related to your suggestions, but we do have the Slot Crafting event coming up relatively soon. That event helps folks earn free slots in a fun way.

I've been pitching the idea of "Arcane Legends: Classic Remastered" for a while (internally). I think it would be a huge hit.

No - the timeline for looted Mythic, looted Arcane gears is not established. We are working on the content and designing the loot distribution but we don't have a firm due date. Season 41 will begin (and might end) before any of this content drops.

It would be a huge hit - especially if you could make pvp fun again. Even though it doesn’t pay the bills.

I 1000000% support arcane and mythic items being in the loot pool but rare.

Look at catacombs for example, I've never ever seen someone say they hate it lmao. The team added a regular way and a paid way to convert kraken armor which is awesome.

This style of gameplay was peak and the eating set, y'all "ate" with that. It wasn't hard to craft or rare and yet it was a functional usuable set

dude thisd be absolutely insane! id actually pay good money to experience AL like it was back in the glory days of lvl41 or even lvl46 cap.

just make it like a pure p2p game (meaning people pay to play this version but in exchange eveything else is actually fair game, yknow since you said 'Remastered') - old economy, old crates systems, old pet systems, all loot available directly from campaigns, luck farms, no ghastly speed sets, old metrics restored (base move speed, base attack speed, etc. from those days), no awakenings, very top tier solid legendary gear... i could go on and on.

Another hot topic question, in the future will events be capped at level 50-75 for example? No more low level 5-15 accounts on leaderboards

[eaqxx]

This would so good honestly. A fresh start, 13 years wiser, healthy economy without a massive gold influx, not having 90% of accounts holding valuable rare/lb vanities banned. Also not having IGNs hoarded by players long gone.
All that in IMPROVED GRAPHICS would be an absolute hit.
Arcane Legends was and still remains one of the most unique MMO RPGs and I believe remastering the game and having a fresh start would attract a lot of new folks AND folks who used to play back in early and mid 2010s.
