Patch Notes
[Content Updates]
● Improved the conditions for automatically designating the Raid General when entering an instance.
○ The condition for automatically designating the Raid General when entering an instance was changed from being based on the level to being based on the Previous Leadership.
■ There was negative feedback about the Raid General being designated based on level when entering instances such as the Golden Plains Battle. Therefore we changed the condition for selection to be based on Previous Leadership instead of the level.
● It will now be easier to know which faction strikes first during raids.
○ The HP gauge will appear in a darker color for the faction that did not attack first.
■ It was difficult to tell which faction attacked first during raids, and this caused issues such as certain looting situations. Therefore the raid monster's HP gauge will now appear darker to the factions that do not attack it first.
■ The HP gauge color update is the first step of improvements we will introduce. We're planning on introducing further updates in the future such as showing which character hit the raid monster first.
● The Mobilization Order Hero Mission was improved.
○ The Mobilization Order missions was changed from 100 to 50 missions.
■ We received feedback about the requirement of 100 Mobilization Order missions being too much to handle. Therefore we wanted to reduce the burden by decreasing the number of missions from 100 to 50 missions.
■ We hope this change will also improve the frustrations many felt due to the duplicate Mobilization Orders that were created.
● The accepted range for Party Duel requests were increased.
○ The acceptable range was increased from 50m to 100m.
■ We received feedback about the range for Party Duel requests being too short. Therefore we doubled the acceptable range from 50m to 100m.
● The Exile system was revamped.
○ The condition for accepting Exile quests was changed from 100 Previous Leadership points to 1,000 points.
■ Due to the low hurdle of conditions for accepting the quests, we decided that the Exile system was not working as intended (ex: use of alt characters). Therefore our first step of improvements is to improve the condition for the Previous Leadership category.
■ Including the Exile system, we are planning on introducing more improvements for Faction Activity as well.
● The content schedule for the Garden of the Gods area was improved.
○ The Conflict/War time for the Garden of the Gods area was changed to CEST 02:00 / 06:00 / 10:00 / 14:00 / 18:00 / 22:00 (PDT 00:00 / 04:00 / 08:00 / 12:00 / 16:00 / 20:00).
■ Though we adjusted the Conflict/War time for the Garden of the Gods on the May 26th update, we realized there was negative feedback about the exhausting schedule due to colliding with other contents (such as the Golden Plains Battle), and due to the repeated cycle of Meina, Glenn and Jola raids. Therefore we changed the schedule from CEST 00:00 / 04:00 / 08:00 / 12:00 / 16:00 / 20:00 (PDT 02:00 / 06:00 / 10:00 / 14:00 / 18:00 / 22:00) to CEST 02:00 / 06:00 / 10:00 / 14:00 / 18:00 / 22:00 (PDT 00:00 / 04:00 / 08:00 / 12:00 / 16:00 / 20:00). Due to this schedule change, we also adjusted the spawn times for Salazar and Anthalon.
■ Anthalon spawn time change: Sat/Sun CEST 18:00 (PDT 16:00)
■ We will continue to improve the Garden of the Gods schedule and also continue to think of ways to improve the merits of participating in the wars.
● The background for the Celestia area at Garden of the Gods was improved.
○ The color of the grounds on the Celestia area was darkened.
■ Due to the color of the ground being too bright, prolonged Faction Wars from raids would fatigue the viewer's eyes. Therefore we adjusted the color to not be as bright in order to make the area more easy on the eyes.
