Developer Notes
During this time, we have received various opinions about balance through the balance forum, from the community, 1:1 inquiries etc.
Along with the "Talk to Developer" event held at 07/22, we have directly listened to some of the adventurers' opinions.
We have gained a better understanding where balance was lacking.
Although it is physically impossible to reflect all the opinions right away, we have decided to reflect the aspects that can be incorporated now.
The execution of balance patches will be temporarily halted so that we could introduce changes in our work patterns and how the content is decided.
This balance patch is based on the play data from the Abyss Raid. It addresses "characters with low performance in terms of damage" and the characters that adventurers at the scene considered "most urgently in need of patching based on the Abyss Raid.".
After verifying some of these opinions, a part of them will be reflected immediately.
It's difficult to reflect all opinions in a single balance patch, so more changes suggested by player opinions will come in the next patch.
As mentioned on the "Talk to Developer" event, there will be changes in the balance patch interval in the future.
This is because we need to redefine the criteria for data reference in balance patches and ensure sufficient data collection. Moreover, we will consider a schedule for skill renewal, which is necessary to address fundamental character issues beyond simple numerical adjustments.
We seek adventurers' understanding in our efforts to improve the quality of balance patches.
Therefore, we would like to quickly guide you through the direction of the next balance patch.
We plan to add party effects for characters in DPS positions who lack them.
We will renew the skills of characters who are judged to have low performance in terms of skill assessment across the overall content.
We will implement reawakening for all characters - currently under review.
However, please understand that the upcoming balance patch updates mentioned above may not be done all at once, and updates may proceed sequentially for each character.
We will guide you through an advance notice as usual when any concrete changes are reviewed and confirmed.
