đź“Ś Q&A
Q. Yoo Soohyun hunter’s performances seem to be lower than expected. Doesn’t she need additional buffs? (00:37:05)
A. According to the statistics, she is still the top-class hunter among the fire attribute hunters.
However, based on the opinions that she is a bit disappointing compared to Alicia added before, we will discuss internally to identify any areas that can be improved and ensure that adjustments are made at an appropriate time.
We are especially internally aware of the need in application of granting Super Armor when using Yoo Soohyun’s Hell Fire skill.
We will try to include this into Hunter Balance Adjustments of this update.
Q. A lot of Gold is required for enhancing and exchanging Artifacts but the sources are too limited. (00:40:12)
A. We are currently gradually increasing the sources of in-game currencies. However, we are aware of the stress our hunters are facing when exchanging equipment such as Artifacts.
We are considering supporting the equipment exchange to lower the stress by providing Artifact exchange free periods through events for our hunters to concentrate on gameplay and Artifact organizing. We will keep improving by monitoring the inconveniences that may occur during the procedure.
Q. How will you solve the certain less preferred Artifact options? (00:44:31)
A. We are aware of the less preferred and abandoned options from hunters. We will consider providing a solution for this.
Q. It would be great to add a damage meter element (dummy) in the game. (00:46:25)
A. The performance of hunters varies based on the elements or stats of bosses, so it may not be able to test the hunters’ performances just by making a dummy. We will take this into consideration as many hunters are wanting the feature.
Q. How about reducing the frequency of livestream to once in three weeks for more communication? (00:48:35)
A. As this is our first livestream, we are still inexperienced in some areas. However, we aim to formalize it into a three-week cycle to communicate with you, hunters, more frequently.
Q. How about reducing the update frequency? (00:49:50)
A. Although it is hard for more frequent updates due to changes in specifics and global one-build multi-language translation, we will do our best to introduce new content as soon as possible.
Q. We would like to see more diverse boss monsters, backgrounds, or gimmicks. (00:50:35)
A. As battle with new boss monsters is the main content of action games, through this update, we have prepared new bosses for the Instance Dungeon and Encore Missions and other challenging content, so please look forward to the update.
Q. Please improve the challenge type content such as Battlefield of Trials.(00:51:57)
A. We have added a new challenge type content such as Battlefield of Trials Challenge through the 7/10 (Wed) update. Since we were considering the balance of all the hunters, we have confirmed opinions from high-level hunters that the content felt too easy.
To amend this, we are planning to modify the content to reset in a 3-week cycle to make it a more challenging content.
Q. The hunters that appeared in the anime and webtoon such as Choi Jong-In and Baek Yoonho seem much weaker compared to the performances of in-game original hunters. (00:53:10)
A. We are aware of the weak performances of hunters that appeared in the anime and webtoon and are planning for improvements.
Choi Jong-In and Woo Jinchul will receive buffs through this update and we will also buff Baek Yoonho as soon as possible.
Since there are aspects that cannot be resolved by simply increasing the numbers, we will take the time to continuously enhance various characters, including the anime and webtoon characters.
Q. Why are only the original hunters being added not the hunters from the anime and webtoon? (00:55:45)
A. As the game is being developed based on the original IP with a completed story, we are sequentially releasing updates by incorporating original hunters and anime and webtoon hunters.
As “Yoo Soohyun” was updated previously, the original hunter will be updated this time and Go Gunhee will be updated next time. We kindly ask for your understanding as we proceed with these updates sequentially.
Q. Sung Jinwoo’s performances are quite disappointing compared to other hunters. Please improve this. (00:57:27)
A. We are currently developing additional elements to improve the performance of Sung Jinwoo, as his current performance is lower compared to other hunters.
We are currently developing internal features such as expanding the Blessing Stone slots to enhance Sung Jinwoo’s performance, and these will be added in future updates.
Q. Adjustments are required for the issue where only damage option related Blessing Stones are used. (00:59:31)
A. Additional balance adjustments are scheduled for both 7/31 (Wed) and 8/21 (Wed) updates.
We will prepare to incorporate a variety of options for the Blessing Stones to be utilized with new bosses that are added in the future.
Q. How about improving the benefits of Monthly Bundles? (01:01:19)
A. We can increase the benefits, but we need to consider how to extend these enhanced benefits to existing subscribers as well. We will carefully explore various approaches to ensure this can be implemented effectively.
Q. Can’t you expand the Mining Team Level or increase available counts for Gates Special Sweeps? (01:03:12)
A. We will check the feasibility of expanding the Gate Special Sweep count to 10 times and proceed accordingly. The expansion of the Mining Team level will be considered for future implementation.
Q. The rewards for the Special Commissions are too low compared to the effort. (01:04:59)
A. As for Special Commissions, this was planned as collection type content where hunters can claim rewards slowly. As there are hunters trying effortlessly to claim the rewards, we will discuss the issue internally for improvements.
Q. It would be nice to add additional auto features for specific actions such as casting ultimate skills or tagging when in Auto Battle mode. (01:06:23)
A. As the AI for Auto Battle is currently being continuously improved and applied, we will also check related features and continuously add and improve them.
Q. When will you update the Story content? (01:09:23)
A. Through this update, exclusive story chapters related to the guild content are scheduled to be added.
Additionally, through further updates, we will add stories related to the top floors of the Demon’s Castle, so please look forward to it.
Q. When will you update Sung Jinwoo’s new job change? (01:23:25)
A. This is scheduled for 8/21 (Wed) and we are planning on adding new costumes and skills with it.
Q. Please improve the rewards for the duplicately obtained hunters that have already reached Dimensional Advancement Tier 5. (01:24:04)
A.We are currently discussing increasing the reward levels for this aspect. For those who obtained the hunters before this change, we will retroactively provide the adjusted rewards.
Q. The Blessing Stone’s “Boss Slayer” penalty seems too harsh compared to its performance. (01:24:58)
A. As for issues that occur in interaction with other effects, we will try to buff the effect or adjust the balance.
Q. Please increase the supply of Workshop of Brilliant Light Invitation. (01:26:03)
A. Through this update, we are adding not only new stages for the Instance Dungeon and Encore Missions but also a new Artifact farming content through Workshop of Brilliant Light Hard Mode.
We will gradually improve this while hunters enjoy the newly added content.
Q. Please increase the supply of Mark of Time used for Armory growth. (01:27:30)
A. First, we will update the system to allow the acquisition of Mana Power Elixir II and III through Elixir Crafting, encouraging you to progress in character growth. Additionally, we will continue to increase the supply sources for growth materials, including Mark of Time.
Q. Other than the Custom Draw Rate Up List, please add an exclusion list. (01:28:19)
A. It doesn’t seem impossible to add to the system, but this may not be able to be applied in the game since this requires careful consideration of various factors.
Q. Please improve the part that only the Demonic Plum Flower Sword is used among Sung Jinwoo weapons. (01:29:38)
A. We regularly adjust the content balance in the game, but please understand that these changes are implemented sequentially. We will work on adjusting the balance of other weapons to ensure they have similar usability to the Demonic Plum Sword.
Q. Increase the Power of Destruction rank rewards. (01:30:37)
A. We are currently adjusting the reward levels for the Power of Destruction. Considering that some hunters may feel burdened by the gameplay, we will also prepare for functional improvements accordingly.
Q. The hard reset period of Artifacts is too short. (01:32:21)
A. The development team is aware that the shorter hard reset cycle for Artifacts due to new content can be burdensome. We are currently reviewing refinement systems, such as upgrading Artifact grades while retaining their auxiliary options, to allow for longer use.
We will strive to ensure that the enjoyment of Artifact farming is not quickly diminished by frequent hard resets.
