Release 1.6 Patch Notes

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello everyone!

New skulls, Davy Jones and Mage, will be joining the Carleon Castle conquest.

Davy Jones, who is the master of the dead and the sea, will destroy Carleon’s soldiers with a great cannon, and the Mage will show its own fire magic to you all.

In addition to the New skulls, changes have been made for the ‘Unstoppable’ status of bosses. Also, ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’ skills have received buffs and now users can search items more easily.

Changes made

System

Changes in Status Effect Resistance system of Bosses

  • Status Effect Resistance of bosses when afflicted by ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’ increases for a moment and decreases fast as time goes by. (Duration of Status Effect decreases when Status Effect Resistance is high)
  • All bosses do not become ‘Unstoppable’ except for some specific patterns.
Developer comment
We hoped that ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’ would be a Status Effect applicable to bosses as well, but this made ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’ much more powerful than we expected.
To solve this problem, we downgraded the skills related to ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’, and also we made bosses become ‘Unstoppable’ when they were preparing to attack.However this was not the best solution. This caused the tempo of the skills related to ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’ slowdown and the ‘Unstoppable’ timing of bosses became much less intuitive.Therefore, we are going to take new measures with the 1.6.0 update.
Now users are able to apply ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’ to bosses at any time in most cases.
If the same Status Effect is applied consecutively, that Status Effect Resistance will increase gradually and this will give appropriate tension.

Changes in reward distribution after defeating the boss

  • From now on, users will be given multiple choices from the chests when defeating the boss.

Increased number of Black Market Collector’s sales stands

  • The number of Black Market Collector’s sales stands has increased by 1.
Developer comment
Due to the 1.5.0 update, the number of items increased and it became more difficult to get items users wanted. With the 1.5.2 update, we took measures to relieve the problem.
This update will take additional measures in order to make it easier for users to obtain the items they want.
