Tiger Knight: Empire War
Developers' Note 4.14 (Replies to players’ questions)
This week we have updated the game – introducing some balance adjustments, adding a new Supply box reward element with some new gear, and fixed a number of bugs. However, as can often be the case, the updated version contained a few new bugs of its own! Two emergency maintenance periods later and most of these should now be resolved, however please continue to report any issues you come across. In the meantime, we’d like to address some topics and feedback raised by the community.
Q：Becoming stuck on battle information, unable to turn camera view, and infinite reconnections.
A：Thanks to community feedback and detailed descriptions (including useful screenshots and videos), these problems should be mostly eradicated by this point. At the same time, we regret that frequent maintenance became necessary this week, and we are grateful for your understanding and tolerance. We will work to limit these frustrating periods of unscheduled downtime in the future.
Q：In Ladder-Duel mode, players on horseback can simply attack and run away. This is unfair to the other players and not in the spirit of the game.
A：Thank you to all players who highlighted this balance problem in Ladder-Duel mode. We are in the process of developing further balance adjustments for cavalry and infantry players; please keep an eye out for this future update!
Q：EU and NA server players failed to get match made in the first hour of ladder tournament.
A：The entire development team of Tiger Knight wish to apologize to both EU and NA server players. Following this week’s update, the EU server should now operate as extended, and the NA server issues will also be fixed very soon. We acknowledge that this has detracted from player’s enjoyment of the new game mode, and we have been working hard to isolate and resolve this problem. We will also be adding a new function to show the server time in game.
This is the opening time of ladder tournament:
Asia server: 19:00-23:00（GMT+8）
NA server: 19:00 -23:00（PDT）
EU server: 19:00-23:00（BST）
A：We have made some big adjustments in this area and now the equipment and weapon stats of high level players have reduced further when entering lower level battlefields. But it’s inevitable that some high level players can still win with their powerful battle capabilities. Don't lose heart; you will also be strong soon with continuing efforts. For our part, we will keep on adjusting the balance in order to level the playing field.
Q：In duel mode, only the MVP can see the sign of MVP.
A：Thank you for pointing this out. This is indeed a bug, and it will be fixed in the next update.
Q：Unable to hide the enemy’s fashion in the battle.
After a series of testing, we are certain that this function is normal. Before you enter the battle, please check hide enemy’s fashion in settings on the right corner of the screen.
Q：High ping? Disconnection? Lag? Unable to log in?
A： We acknowledge that there are a number of problems concerning high ping, disconnections, lag and log in issues. The causes are numerous and very complex, so if you happen upon any of the above please describe the situation with as much detail as possible to help us locate the root cause. For example: whether the ping value changed or not at the moment when lag happened? How much time passes from one disconnection to the next? And when was the last time you could log in successfully?

Developers’ Note for April 1st (New Weapon & Game Mode)
Here at the Tiger Knight development team, we pride ourselves on maintaining historical accuracy and authenticity when adding exciting weapons and combat styles to the game. While researching new weapons to include in a future update, there was one in particular that caught our attention:
A New Type of Weapon – The Energy Sword
Back in the early 1980s, archaeologists discovered traces left on a Han Dynasty stone relief depicting unusual combat weaponry. While the weapons displayed strange characteristics, this discovery alone could not provide enough scientific evidence for such weapons. As a result, most people believed the picture was illustrating a one-handed iron bat planted with barbs.
Stone Relief of Beam Sword in Han Dynasty
However, on October 2016 the world of archaeology was shocked when an intact beam sword was excavated in Shanxi Province, China. This non-solid sword resembles an iron lash and glows like an energy beam. The discovery also gives credibility to the idea that aliens may have visited ancient China and had a direct influence on combat and weaponry design.
The Beam Sword Excavated from the Tomb of Eastern Han Dynasty
How Powerful is the Beam Sword?
The energy sword in Tiger Knight will exert energy damage. It cannot block attacks and its attack cannot be blocked by other weapons. It can deal high amounts of damage and absolutely has the capability of penetrating through armor. This means the user needs to excel in both attack and evasive movement. As he has abandoned defense, every offensive slash must be significant and find its target.
In addition, we plan to introduce an energy shield. This will allow players to wield the energy sword in one hand, and the energy shield in the other! While this change may affect the balance of the game on a large scale, we still want to risk the chance and bring this subversive weapon into the game in order to provide a brand new gaming experience.
New Game Mode - Water Warfare
We are also developing a true Water Warfare mode where each player can take command of a warship and fight against rivals out on the ocean. To ensure a good balance for ranged combat, a number of specially designed catapults will be equipped on each warship to keep battles fair and competitive. New maps and combat skills will also be added specifically for this mode.

Finally, as we prepare the above new weapons and game modes for launch, we’d also like to remind everyone that today is April Fool’s Day. Stay vigilant – as there’s no telling who might try to trick you today!
Happy April 1st from the Tiger Knight team!
