Optimizations & Misc. Updates
Changes to Arena seasons
- Changes Arena season reset
- Currently, each season in both Rookie Arena and SP Arena consists of 14 days. The next season begins after the end of the current season, and rewards are then distributed. After the update, each season will still last for 14 days, but players can only participate in Arena activities in the first 13 days. The last day will be reserved for the season reset, where groups will be reformed and rewards will be distributed.
- Changes to Rookie Arena rewards
- Due to the season reset changes, there will be five fewer battle chances in Rookie Arena every season. As such, the season rewards will be increased by an amount equivalent to rewards earned for five victories.
Moreover, since daily rewards will be reduced due to the season reset, season rewards will also be increased accordingly.
- Due to the season reset changes, there will be five fewer battle chances in Rookie Arena every season. As such, the season rewards will be increased by an amount equivalent to rewards earned for five victories.
- In SP Arena, as Muscat rewards will not be accumulated during the reward tabulation, hourly rewards will be increased to make up for the loss.
Changes in Mission
Some missions are unavailable for completion during the season reset period. Therefore, we added a new daily mission and made changes to the Liberation missions.
- Daily Mission
- Purchase items in Common Shop 1 time (New)
- Liberation Mission
- Win 1 battle in Rookie Arena → Claim Outpost Defense rewards 1 time (Changed)
- Win 2 battles in Rookie Arena → Purchase items in Common Shop 2 times (Changed)
- Win 3 battles in Rookie Arena → Recruit Nikkes 3 times (Changed)
Group Reassignment
- Group members criteria
- Rookie Arena: Maximum number of members per group remains at 100 → Ranking criteria will have a maximum limit of 100 people.
- SP Arena: The number is reduced in consideration of the average number of members per group. The maximum number of members per group is 5,000 → Ranking criteria will have a maximum limit of 200 people. In the case where member(s) return in the middle of the season, the number may exceed 200.
- Accounts with no Arena activities
- During group reassignment, accounts with no Arena activities will not be grouped.
- Accounts that did not enter Arena-related pages during the season will not be included in Rookie Arena groups in the next season. Accounts that did not launch any attack or claim Muscat rewards will not be included in SP Arena groups in the next season.
- Group reassignment will be done at the end of each season. Excluding accounts with the abovementioned circumstances, all other accounts will be grouped by the current convention, in the order of account creation time.
- Adjustments to the number of SP Arena ranking tiers
- Since the maximum number of group members in SP Arena will be changed, ranking tiers will also be reduced. Rewards will be adjusted accordingly to maintain a level similar to current rewards.
- Application of rankings and points calculation method during group reassignment SP Arena: Players will be arranged in descending order according to rankings. In case of a tie in rankings, players will be arranged in descending order according to points. Unlike the time after the launch, players will not have to climb the ranks.
- Rookie Arena: The sorting for players to be arranged in descending order according to points is unfitting since players can gain unlimited points. We believe some sort of moderation system is required in this case. At the end of a season, there will be a certain level of compression/reduction applied to the current Rookie Arena points based on an initial value of 1,000 points.
Effective time of changes to season reset and group reassignment
The new season rules will be implemented in the upcoming update. Group reassignment will take place in the new seasons of SP Arena and Rookie Arena, which will begin on June 22 and June 29, respectively.
