On 24 July, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad updated its improvement tracker with a fresh batch of inquiries and developer responses. This latest update tackles everything from mid-raid dropouts to training ground limitations. Let's break down what is actually changing.

Q. It is a real chore having to manually top up my health potions every time I enter a dungeon.
A. We are implementing an automatic refill system upon entry to content.

Currently, in every single activity within Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, health potions and secondary weapon ammo share a common pool. To be properly prepared, players have been forced to manually craft or purchase and refill these items before every run. It is a particularly grating experience for repetitive content like 'The Worm Road'. If players burn through all their ammo during a grind and then get hit with a 'defeat enemies with ranged attacks' objective, they are forced to restart the entire process.

Thankfully, this irritation is getting the axe in the next update. When entering dungeons like The Worm Road, both health potions and ammo will automatically top up to their maximum capacity. Since this bypasses the character's base inventory limits, players will be able to burn through consumables in the dungeon without a second thought.

Q. It is becoming all too common for players to quit during the first phase of a raid.
A. We are going to introduce penalties for mid-raid departures.

The Kraken raid—officially titled 'Altar of the Abyss: Kraken of the Iron Islands Coast'—serves as the current endgame for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, demanding both significant time investment and high gear scores. While the system entry requirement is set at 120,000, clearing it properly requires perfect class management and a deep knowledge of the gimmicks. Naturally, players looking for a smooth run often demand higher requirements in party finder; that is just the standard flow of a competitive community and rarely the core issue.

The real trouble kicks in with random matchmaking. Because players cannot verify gear scores beforehand, some individuals tend to bail after just a glance at the early performance in phase one. This leaves the remaining party members at a massive disadvantage, often leading to a total collapse of the run. It has been a constant complaint since the launch of the content.

The developers have finally addressed this on the tracker. The plan is to implement a penalty system for those who leave early. Specific details regarding how these penalties will be applied and the exact thresholds will be shared in a future announcement.

Q. It is far too difficult to test different gear setups in the training grounds.
A. We plan to expand the functionality of the training grounds.

As it stands, the training grounds in Game of Thrones: Kingsroad are a bit of a letdown for theory-crafters. Secondary set effects do not apply, swapping relics is impossible, and even checking detailed stats is off the table. Compared to the training suites in other titles, it feels rather sparse.

The development team has confirmed they are working on a system that allows players to freely adjust combat conditions. Once these changes go live, the director expects players to be able to tinker with relics, buffs, and combat variables while easily verifying their stats and set effects.

Q. The documentation system lacks basic quality-of-life features.
A. We are planning improvements for that as well.

Game of Thrones: Kingsroad hides a wealth of lore outside the main story, offering plenty of reading material that covers both the original work and details never seen in the television series. However, tracking what you have actually collected has been a nightmare. If you do not stumble upon the text yourself, it simply does not show up in your codex.

The team aims to make the world of Game of Thrones much more immersive by streamlining this. They plan to organize lore entries by region and display missing entries in grayscale so players can clearly see what is left to collect. They are also considering adding hints to locked documents to give players a nudge in the right direction.
