■Additional Features
・Added the new sub battlefield “Crouching Dragons’ Fierce Rumble.”
Note: This is an end-game mission in which the player fights multiple bosses in a series of battles.
It will become accessible via Other in the Travel menu after clearing the sub battlefield “Crouching Dragons' Battle Royale.”
In this battlefield, Morale Points lost upon death cannot be redeemed when rechallenging the enemy.
This battlefield will not affect the conditions for acquiring the trophies/achievements “Battle-Hardened” and “Hunting the Great Deer,” the ratio of Battlefields Conquered, or any titles related to conquering battlefields.
・Added a Training Ground function in the Hidden Village of Mt. Tianzhushan.
Note: This is an area in which players can freely engage in battle with certain enemies and test their skills.
After applying the update, players can access the Training Ground by speaking with the Taoist located on the right upon first entering the hidden village.
・Added a function so that if any tampering with values for equipment special effects is detected, the game will forcibly change such values to legitimate ranges.
■Adjustments
・Made upward adjustments to the probability of items with the highest rarity appearing in each difficulty level.
・Made upward adjustments (dependent upon the difficulty level) to the range of rarities of equipment in the lottery, such as items dropped after enemies are defeated and items and treasure chests located on each battlefield.
Note: For example, upon defeating bosses and leaders on the “Path of the Soaring Dragon,” dropped items are guaranteed to have a rarity of at least 4★.
・Made changes so that upon playing a battlefield for the second time and onward, equipment received as a clear reward will be a random item rather than a fixed item.
Note: The equipment will be selected via lottery from certain categories and ranges of rarities specifically set for each battlefield.
・Made adjustments so that item drop tables for players who join Recruit sessions will be equivalent to those in the highest difficulty level reached by the player, regardless of the difficulty of the battlefield they are recruited to.
Note: For example, if a player who has reached the difficulty level “Path of the Soaring Dragon” accepts recruitment for “Path of the Crouching Dragon,” enemies will drop 6★ equipment for that player.
・Made upward adjustments to the effectiveness of Talent’s Blessing (which grants bonuses to the drop rate) during Recruit sessions.
・Made upward adjustments to the amount of accolades that can be acquired upon accepting recruitment under either of the following situations:
- If players who have reached the “Path of the Rising Dragon” conquer battlefields on the “Path of the Crouching Dragon.”
- If players who have reached the “Path of the Soaring Dragon” conquer battlefields on the “Path of the Crouching Dragon” or “Path of the Rising Dragon.”
・Made upward adjustments to the amount of accolades that can be acquired upon accepting recruitment and conquering battlefields with a recommended level of 101 or higher.
・Made adjustments so that players will be invincible until their attack sequence ends when performing Fatal Strikes.
・Made changes so that the game will pause when players acquire Hidden Tomes.
・Made changes so that the battlefields “Crouching Dragons’ Battle Royale” and “Crouching Dragons’ Fierce Rumble” will now be categorized as Optional Battlefields in the Travel menu.
・Made changes to the default values of the following fields in settings:
- Switch Locked-on Target after Deflecting within the game settings
- Switch Locked-on Target after Deflecting a Critical Blow within the game settings
- Horizontal Rotation Speed for the Lock-on Camera in the Camera settings
- Vertical Rotation Speed for the Lock-on Camera in the Camera settings
Note: These values will not be changed for system data that has already been saved.
