[DEVELOPERS_NOTES] <1st> Upcoming Update in June
Greetings, Admirals! This is the Dev.Team of “The War of Genesis: Battle of Antaria”.First of all, we apologize for the late response to your feedback on our game.Because it takes long time to discuss the server merge issues, user complaints and suggestions, and prepare further updates, we could not give our response fast.Again, we sincerely apologize.We would like to let you know our corrective measures to prevent issues occurring after the server merge and our updates with your suggestions reflected.1. Corrective Measures for the server merge issuesFirst of all, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by game lags and mail delays occurring after the server merge to Antaria #1 server Admrials.To prevent and fix the issues, we have done so far like below. ▶ The way of server operational management revamped When many admirals accessed the game at the same time after the server merge, the number of monster & machina battles was increased rapidly as well. In process of operational management, game delays occurred, which gave you the inconvenience. To prevent this, the way of server operational management has been changed and revamped. ▶ In-game mail system Due to the same reason, there were in-game mail issues such as mail delays and incorrect mail notification on the mail icon. We have found the cause of DB packet delays, and have made the processes of sending mail and deleting mail done separately to prevent the delays. Additional measures were done for stabilizing servers and fixing game lag issues. Although we have fixed most of technical issues such as game lags and delays, there are still game lag occurring in some specific situations such as Dark Armor or NPC Legion battles.Therefore, additional optimization of the system is going to be done. Once it is done, we are going to notify you.2. New Ruins Conquest 'Storm Isle Battle'Ruins Conquest is to encourage many guilds to participate in conquests for more pleasure of yours, and central Ruins was about to be opened. But, it takes long time to make sure if proper game environment for new Ruins is promoted without any negative effects on our admirals.Thus, we have made you wait so long. We apologize for making you wait so long.After careful consideration, we decided to have Antaria #1 server merge ahead of opening central Ruins to vitalize the server based on server maturity and activeness.Merged server stabilization is about to be completed and other servers will be merged as well.After that, we are going to show you new Ruins Conquest “Storm Isle Battle”.“Storm Isle Battle” will be created with your suggestions reflected. It will begin at a fixed time, and it will be done for 3 hours. Participation rewards and guild ranking rewards will be also added.The existing Ruins Conquest is to occupy one of 4 cardinal Ruins and there was only limited warfare, but once Storm Isle Battle begins, conquest for 4 cardinal points of Ruins will begin first and after an hour, central Ruins “Storm Isle” will be opened. The final goal is to occupy central ‘Storm Isle’.If your guild occupies Ruins or Storm Isle, you will obtain points as long as your guild occupies them. The winner of Storm Isle Battle will be decided according to the obtained points.Occupying Storm Isle will give more points than 4 cardinal Ruins, and if Storm Isle is occupied by your guild when the season ends, you will get additional points as well.Also, various strategies will be required to occupy Ruins and Storm Isle.While you occupy any of 4 cardinal ruins, your corresponding type heroes will be able to join the battles without any limit, and also special buffs will be given. You will have to carefully choose the area to use the buffs and take advantages. So, try building your own creative strategies for the victory! Surely, you wonder the rewards of Storm Isle Battle.For Ruins Conquest occupying guilds, specific part of hunting rewards in the area is distributed to all guild members. But, Storm Isle Battle will be done all around Antaria. Therefore, the rewards will be given based on hunting rewards of whole Antaria.We have been preparing ‘Storm Isle Battle’ to show you as soon as possible.But, the some of this content will be limited at first for its stability. Please understand that.Regarding this, we will notify you with more details soon.3. Reflections of your suggestions on the gameWe would like to let you know the improvements based on your feedback.Though we cannot mention all of your suggestions, we have sorted suggestions according to their importance. And the suggestions which can be reflected fast have been applied first.Because we are preparing the coming update at the same time, we cannot apply all of those things right away, but we will do our best to be done as soon as possible. ▶ Mercenary Token & Power Token can be exchanged with Essence of Hero. ▶ The number of ★6 Hero slots has been increased. ▶ Arena Practice mode has been added. ▶ When you use lots of Diamond at once, there has been a pop-up message to be confirmed. ▶ The number of high level monsters, machinas, Dark Armors, and mines has been increased. ▶ Daily Mission & Achievement rewards have been revamped. ▶ Login Rewards have been revamped. ▶ Obtained Challenge Mission points by hunting monsters have been increased. ▶ Guild Arena Friendly Match mode will be added. ▶ Superior Materials will be able to be decomposed into inferior materials. Because many admirals have requested to add the new feature ‘decomposition of materials’, it has been under active discussion and we are going to apply soon.Aside from the things we introduce here, there are still more things under our discussion which we cannot let you know for now.At the next developer’s notes, we are going to bring more news for you.For more pleasure of yours, we will always do our best!Thanks for your constant support!
