Maintenance
Date: January 2, 2025
Duration: 6:30 AM to 11:00 AM KST (4h30)
Developer Notes
This time around, we will answer questions from players asked through various platforms, such as the customer support.
As for the supply of Circuit Amplifiers for Exascale, we are preparing improvement scheduled for February through the new raid update.
We plan to maintain this armor as a long-term investment system, but we will monitor the supply and demand of materials, and make improvements if necessary.
We have also decided to turn down suggestions about storing circuits in page format for being deemed unsuitable for individual armor setups.We've received feedback about the difficulties of obtaining new raid accessories. A new system for a guaranteed Serpentium raid accessory drop is in the works. We will add it when it's ready.
Regarding Ice Burner Reorder Shop, new sales are being planned for 2025. Please check the corresponding section in this notice.
Season Pass rewards will be regularly adjusted to provide players with useful items depending on the current content.
We will review if another split of rewards is necessary depending on future content updates and combat power distribution.There are opinions that current events don't meet the expectation of players.
In the future, we will try to listen to players and make improvements to tedious reward acquisition and participation methods.As for goods related to progression, we will keep an eye out on events to include such items there.
We are concerned about regular intervals between Balance Patch releases, considering (limited) development resources and future updates.
Currently, it is difficult to deliver Balance Patches regularly.
Although, we will make efforts to release satisfying changes, in line with the current endgame content as much as possible.A revision patch will happen in 2 weeks (for the second batch of the new Mod (E) skills).
We will continue to answer questions, as mentioned in the Winter Update video. However, we request players to voice their opinions so that we can review them.
In 2025, we will work to improve Elsword's overall image, overcoming the last year's shortcomings in development and operation.
Thank you.
