Hello, this is THRONE AND LIBERTY.
We will be performing a routine maintenance on Wednesday, 7 August 2024 to inform you of the updates that will be applied.
For more information, please see below.
What's new
Changed death respawn rules.
- During normal play, characters will no longer lose experience when they die, and there will be no 'recovery cost'.
- However, if you die in a combat space with other players, the respawn rules have changed and a 'respawn cooldown' applies.
[Dev Comment] The existing 'death penalty' was accompanied by experience loss, which was a meaningless penalty at level 50, but a stressful one as you progressed. We want to improve the stacking of deaths, which was causing excessive penalties. However, we're concerned thatremoving the death penalty will lead to "tension-free combat where death is irrelevant" within combat content, so we'd like to apply a separate respawn rule. Changes to make it harder to play the so-called "zombie rush" by providing a"respawn cooldown". Death itself will still act as some sort of penalty while progressing through the content, but will change to remove that penalty after a period of time. |
Removing the death penalty
- Under normal circumstances, when a character dies, there is no experience loss and no death penalty.
The previous accumulated number of recoveries will be deleted, and the existing lost experience will be automatically restored.
Changes to respawn rules in combat content
- If you die in an area where other player characters can fight, the new respawn rule "Death Aftermath" will apply.
> Capture the Origin, Capture the Dimension, Interserver Guild Wars, Siege
> Regional Events [Guild Wars], [Faction Wars]
> Field Duel (Night)
> Field Boss [Conflict], Arc Boss [Conflict]
* Non-combat content spaces such as 'Peace Zones', 'Safe Zones', and 'Duel Zones' are not penalised separately.
Death aftermath
- Changed the 'death aftereffect' when dying within combat content to 'choose a respawn location after a 10 second wait'.
- If 'Aftermath of Death' is applied more than 3 times, it will change to 'Severe Aftermath of Death' and the wait time will increase to 20 seconds.
> Recovery is possible while 'Severe Death Aftereffects' is applied, and the wait time is subtracted up to 10 seconds when recovering.
- You can find information about the 'Death Aftereffects' that are being applied to your character in the 'Effect Details' section.
Treating the aftermath of death
- The applied 'Death Aftereffects' and 'Severe Death Aftereffects' will automatically heal after 2 hourswithout any recovery process.
However, if you 'die an additional death in the battle space' while death aftereffects are applied, your auto-heal time will be reset.
- 'Death Aftereffects' can be treated for free by an 'Ainar Priest'in your base.
- 'Serious Death Aftereffects' require recovery costs for treatment, and areused in the order "Free Recovery Count > Recovery Coins > Solants".
* The 'Severe Death Aftermath' status costs money, but you can instantly recover from death without talking to Father Aynar.
Changed the cost of initialising Rune Sockets and the amount of Rune Fragments gained when dissolving them.
- The amount of Rune Hammers consumed for initialisation is fixed, regardless of how many times the Rune Socket is initialised.
- Changes the amount of Rune Shards gained when dissolving Runes.
- Added a drop location for the Runic Hammer.
[Dev Comment] The current socket system is designed to increase in cost with the number of resets as the Rune Hammer becomes easier to acquire as you continue to play. However, we recognise that it takes some time to get to that stage and that the hurdles are high, causing more discomfort than intended. We'd like to move forward with care to quickly resolve this discomfort. We're changing the rune initialisation cost to a fixed one to make it less burdensome early on, and adjusting the amount of dissolution that increases as you move up to 'higher' runes, so that it's still beneficial towards the end, but not too much. |
Rewards for attempting to reset the rune socket from 24 July, when the rune system was updated, until the 7 August maintenance will be paid after data verification.
Rune Socket Initialisation Cost
- Fixed the cost ofinitialising Rune Sockets without increasing over time.
Rune Initialisation Cost (Existing) | Rune Initialisation Cost (Changed) | ||||||||
Initialisation count | Heroic Tier 1 | Heroic Tier 2 | Initialisation count | Heroic Tier 1 | Heroic Tier 2 | ||||
Weapons | Jewellery | Weapons | Jewellery | Weapons | Jewellery | Weapons | Jewellery | ||
1 to 9 times | 2 | 1 | 4 | 2 | Not relevant | 2 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
10-20 times | 4 | 2 | 8 | 4 | |||||
21-30 times | 6 | 3 | 12 | 6 | |||||
31 times or more | 8 | 4 | 16 | 8 |
Changing the Rune Dissolution Formula
- Changes the amount of Rune Fragments that can be obtained when dissolving a Rune.
- We've adjusted the drop variance between rune levels by increasing the drops for lower-level rune dissolves and slightly decreasing the drops for higher-level dissolves.
Please refer to the Socket System and Rune Probabilities shortcutfor the detailed probabilities of the changed rune dissolution formula .
Added and enhanced Rune Hammer drop locations
- You can purchase a Runic Hammer from the Custom Coin Vendor.
NPC | Item name and price | Purchase limits | Purchase restrictions |
Custom Coin Trader | 60 Runic Hammers / Custom Coins | 10 per week | Level 50 and above |
- Increased the number of 'Rune Hammer' rewards in Weekly Missions.
Weekly Missions | Existing | Change |
Rune Hammer Rewards | 10 | 15 |
Added a 'vote to expel' system.
- Added a voting system for suggesting banishments.
[Dev Comment] In the case of a hand-created party, the party leader has the ability to 'kick out', but in the case of a party matched by 'party matching', the party is an unspecified number of people, We weren't giving party bosses the ability to chase because they were being given to random players under equal conditions. However, there is no solution for situations where normal play is not possible, such as when some players do not play. You've been telling us about a lot of frustrations, and we'd like to offer a solution to some of them through the Kick Proposal Vote. |
Kicking out parties
- Added a voting system where you can propose to expel other members of your party.
> Suggestions for expulsion can be made in 'Party Management'/'Character Business Card'/'Character Context Menu'.
> When proposing a deportation, a majority of party members must agree for the deportation to proceed.
> The existing party leader will retain the 'Kick Party' permission, while the party matching leader will only be able to 'Suggest Party Kick'.
Parties
- Improved party members who are logged out to show the time remaining before they automatically leave the party.
We've tweaked some content to improve the play experience.
- Adjusted the difficulty of some co-op dungeons.
- Changed the stamina regeneration rules for fishing and made some staging improvements.
[Dev Comment] As we looked at the trends since the update, we noticed that people were finding Isle of Blood Fury difficult, so we checked the clear data. We were expecting some fluctuation in clearance rates as more players actually entered the dungeon, but the clearance rate for Isle of Blood Rage was higher than that of Screaming Torture Chamber before the update, After the update, we noticed that it actually dropped from the Screaming Torture Chamber to around 30%, so we decided that the difficulty needed to be reduced. |
