5. Skill Balance Adjustments
Additional balance adjustments will be made to skills for 1st/2nd (Transcendence) job classes and expansion job classes. The skills currently under balance adjustment are being prepared largely in the following directions.
1) Improving hit feel and DPS through skill casting and cooldown adjustments 2) Improving usability through adjustments to fixed casting and variable casting 3) Strengthening performance-type skills 4) Balance adjustments through stat changes to certain skills
First, in Zero, skill cooldowns were mostly set with little to no cooldown reduction, which limited the way skills could be used during gameplay. We aim to ease this restriction to improve hit feel and increase DPS.
Similar to skill cooldowns, casting will also be changed to focus more on variable casting, increasing the importance of cast time reduction options and allowing faster casting under certain conditions to improve usability.
Since this involves changes to skills across the board, detailed figures will be provided through Sakray announcements, and the changes will proceed after sufficient testing on the Sakray server and incorporating feedback from adventurers. We ask for your active feedback through Sakray testing.
6. Booster Promotion
We are preparing a Booster Promotion to coincide with the Episode 2 update and the level 170 expansion. This will be a revised version of the Mega Booster Promotion held in 2022, and will provide new users with items and conveniences needed for character growth.
Additionally, the daily quest overhaul and batch receive/complete feature that was planned for Q2 has been excluded from the Q2 and Q3 updates as we are still organizing data and reviewing additional systems.
The Q3 update content will be tested on the Sakray server before being applied to the update, and we ask for your active feedback through Sakray testing.
The above content is still under development, so details may change upon actual update. Please refer to the official website's announcements for detailed information at the time of the update.
Thank you.
