06/22 Patch Notes
21 June 2023
Maintenance
Date: June 22, 2023 (Thu)
Duration: 0:00 AM ~ 3:00 PM (15 hours)
Target: All Servers
Developer Notes
The Korean servers of Gaia and Solace will be merged after the maintenance.
Improvements on the Challenge Mode were carried out on the 6/8 (Thu), but due to not enough data, Altar of Invocation was not included. Therefore, some changes will be updated this week.
We've also received reports that the weapon attribute might be bugged.
In the past, a balance patch reduced its effectiveness per stack from <20%, 30%, 45%> to <10%, 20%, 30%>.
Some NPCs did not reflect this properly, so they will be patched in this update.
This problem did not occur with characters in PvP, but it was occurring with monsters.
After this fix is applied, based on play data, we will consider lowering mob stats in areas where it could have impacted the gameplay a lot, because we believe that 45% defense pierce is considerable.
In addition, through the client patch update on May 26 (Fri), the duration of Freeze and Shock in Challenge Modes was changed to be capped at 15 seconds. It seems that the setting was accidentally reverted, so we will be bringing it back now.
[Translator Note]
Certain server merge information was skipped, as it is deemed to specific for international players. If you are still interested about it, visit the official page: [LINK]

really pretty ice burner, I like the changes, and finally - DECENTE REWARDS for an event, ffs
Most of this is stuff I'm either neutral toward or I think it's neat, but don't really care that much about. One thing I do like is the increase of how many characters you can mark as favorites being increased.
