07/04 Patch Notes - Shared Titles, Mid Game Dungeon Adjustments, PvP Rework

Maintenance

• Date: Thursday, July 4, 2024

• Duration: 7 AM to 12 PM (5 hours)

Developer Notes

In this update, the scheduled summer revamp is being released.
We hope that these changes help adventurers build their characters and play more comfortably.

Additionally, regarding the Elrios Pass and Powerful Punch Master, we received feedback from adventurers, and we'd like to address this.
The season 8 of Elrios Pass will be held earlier than usual, as well as the renewed Powerful Punch Master event.
They are scheduled for release on July 18th after maintenance, so stay tuned, as we also prepared other events.

Shared Giant Boss and Raid Titles

As previously announced, Giant Boss and Raid titles will be shared across the account.
Those titles will be moved from the [Character] to the [Account] tab.

If no characters own an affected title, the counts will be added up together.
If you already own an affected title, all other characters on the account will be able to use it.

In the case of "Attack of Steel Machines" title, a special item in the quantity of [amount of characters owning the title - 1] will be provided as compensation. This item can be traded with other players once. To use this item, one must first unlock the region it comes from.

Shared titles can only be equipped when their region is unlocked, or in the case of Drabaki titles, after reaching lv. 99.

Buff UI revamp

The buff UI is improved to match the current UI design, and buffs can be toggled depending on their type (ex. where they come from).
You can modify the display for you and your party members.

The categories include:

• Self buffs coming from character systems, skills, etc.

• Buffs given by party members

• Dungeon and Consumable effects (ex. Fighter Potion, Heroes Assemble queue buff, Random Mission buff)

• Special buffs that last longer than 30 minutes (ex. Equipment, Ice Burner Seasonal buff)

• Special buffs that last 30 minutes or less (Hot Springs, elixirs, titles, etc.)

• Debuffs

Each category is displayed in its own row, but it can be freely adjusted where it should be displayed for you and your party members separately. (The debuff category will always be displayed at the bottom, and it cannot be changed.)

Other UI improvements

1. A message is displayed when joining or leaving parties, raid parties, and striker parties through party chat.

2. When the party leader is changed via raid editing, a party leader popup will be displayed to the character appointed as the new leader.

   • When you check the batch appraisal button and confirm, all gems in your inventory will be appraised at once.

   • When you check the batch appraisal button, the total ED required for appraising all appraisable gems in your inventory will be displayed.

   • If you lack sufficient ED, batch appraisal will not be possible.

4. In game settings, the name of the option to remove exclusive appearance for Awakening will be changed to disable appearance change.

   • You can turn the appearance change on or off when the character's appearance is forcibly changed due to Awakening or skill usage. (Excludes appearance changes from Altar of Evil and Transcendence skill usage)
