Alpha 1 Global 更新 #16

 Character buff tracking

The system has been improved for tracking character buffs. Now selected effects and debuffs can be moved from the main buff panel into separate groups.

Each such panel can be independently placed in a convenient location on the screen and its scale can be configured separately. The selected effects system allows you to always keep your character's most important buffs in view — similar to the familiar effect tracking in the party window.

 Selected effects

• In the settings, you can select the buffs and effect groups that interest you. The selected effects will be displayed in a separate row independently of the main character buff window.

 Debuffs

• The debuff row can also be separated from the main list of effects and placed separately.

Interface ▾ click to open/close

• Thus, buffs selected for tracking and debuffs can be displayed as independent groups.
• For each group, you can separately configure the interface scale.
• Each group can be freely positioned anywhere convenient on the screen independently of the other elements.
• The remaining duration is displayed for tracked effects.
• After an effect is removed or ends, its icon automatically disappears from the list.
• As the duration decreases, the color of the icon's border changes, allowing the effect's status to be assessed more quickly:
  • The option Show completion animation enables border flashing when the effect is nearing completion.
  • There are 4 time thresholds, each of which uses its own border color. The default values are 15, 30, 45, and 60 seconds.
  • If the effect has been extended, the indicator is automatically updated according to the new remaining time.
  • The threshold values can be changed independently in the settings.
• The selected effect settings, their position, scale, time thresholds, and animation parameters are saved for the character after re-entering the game.

As a result, important buffs and debuffs can be assembled into convenient separate panels and placed exactly where it is easiest for you to monitor them during combat.

 Various fixes and improvements

• The character movement system has been optimized. WASD controls are now more precise, smoother, and more responsive. The handling of rapid and consecutive key presses has been improved, allowing the character to react faster to changes in direction and making movement feel more predictable and comfortable.
• The game's internal logic has been optimized. On systems with low FPS, the load should decrease and performance should become more stable.
• Another stage has been completed in VFX optimization.
• The display has been reworked for Danger Zone on the radar: the positions of all characters inside the zone are no longer displayed. This is an experimental change aimed at improving performance.
• A number of Damage Text fixes and improvements have been made: the display of combat information has been refined, and visual and logical errors have been fixed.
• The visuals and performance have been optimized for the party interface, including the display of members, buffs, and other elements. A number of additional fixes have also been made.
• The display of small effect icons has been improved in the minimized party window: their positioning and sorting have been fixed, making the information noticeably clearer.
• Fixed the selected display type spontaneously switching between Buff/Rhythm/Debuff when joining or leaving a party. The selected mode should no longer switch to the previous item without player action.
• Saving of party effect display settings has been improved: the selected mode is correctly saved within the running client and is not reset when the Party composition changes or when re-entering the game.
• In Ant Queen Nest the lighting and visual effects have been reworked.
• Camera interaction with environmental objects has been improved in Ant Queen Nest: it no longer clips into rocks. Previously, this could cause the scene to unload and reload, causing additional lag. The changes are related to improving the Frustum Culling system.
• In Ant Queen Nest the post-processing effect has been reduced: the image has become less green and visually cleaner, while the lighting has acquired a cooler blue tint. The changes are experimental — we will await player feedback.
• Fixed an issue with newly learned skills: in some cases, a new skill appeared in the skills window, but could not be used or moved to the shortcut bar until the window was reopened. Learned skills can now be used correctly immediately after learning.
• Switching between mouse and keyboard controls has been improved. Now, after moving with WASD the character will not stop when the mouse is clicked.
• The tooltip with the character's class has been fixed in the clan window: text readability has been improved and the tooltip's position adjusted so that the cursor no longer obscures it.
• The cost display when moving items to personal storage has been fixed. Previously, the interface displayed a cost of 0 Adena, although it actually correctly deducted 30 Adena per slot.
• The position of the storage fill percentage indicator has been fixed.
• The display of the number of occupied and available inventory slots at the bottom of the interface has been fixed. The values now match the data directly in the inventory window.
• The removal of macros from the shortcut bar has been fixed. Previously, after deleting a macro, a No Image icon could remain in its slot; the slot is now cleared correctly.
• Noticeable seams between textures have been removed in many locations, and various visual environment errors have also been fixed: floating rocks, incorrectly positioned trees, buildings, and other objects.
• A number of errors with the sounds of new skills have been fixed: more SFX now correctly respond to the corresponding volume settings.
• Some of the issues that led to sudden server disconnections have been fixed.
• A number of improvements and fixes have been made to ATOS — an optimization system that reduces load in intense and heavily loaded scenes.
• Fixed monster AI behavior in Cemetery.

 Shadow of Death

• The charges of  Shadow of Death now affect the character for 15 seconds instead of 5.

---

 Flames of Invincibility

• When changing subclasses, the skill now goes on cooldown for 5 minutes.

---

 Shield of Faith

• After changing subclasses, the skill goes on cooldown for 5 minutes. This limits excessively frequent use of the skill by switching subclasses, while preserving the ability to use such a strategy.

---

 War Frenzy

• The MP cost of maintaining the skill has been significantly reduced — to 0.4 MP per tick, with a consumption interval of once every 5 ticks.
• Skill effects by level:
  • Level 1: Resistance to Stun +5%, Resistance to Sleep +10%.
  • Level 2: Resistance to Stun +10%, Resistance to Sleep +15%.
  • Level 3: Resistance to Stun +15%, Resistance to Sleep +20%.

---

 Piercing Attack

• The effect activation mechanic has been updated. Previously,  Piercing Attack could only be triggered by regular attacks
• The effect can now be activated:
  • by a regular attack — with a chance 15%
  • when using  Crushing Judgment — with a chance 30%

When successfully triggered, the effect  P. Def. -23% is applied to the enemy for 30 seconds. This effect is interchangeable with Hex.

---

 Battle Invocation

• The skill has been enhanced — the amount of restored MP per second:
  • Level 1: 13 → 15 MP/sec.
  • Level 2: 15 → 18 MP/sec.
  • Level 3: 17 → 20 MP/sec.
  • Level 4: 19 → 23 MP/sec.
  • Level 5: 21 → 25 MP/sec.
• The MP restoration interval has been reduced from approximately 3.33 to 0.66 seconds. Characters now receive a smaller portion of MP per activation, but much more frequently, making restoration occur more smoothly and evenly.
• Over the full 15 seconds of the skill's duration, one character now nominally restores:
  • Level 1: 195 → 225 MP.
  • Level 2: 225 → 270 MP.
  • Level 3: 255 → 300 MP.
  • Level 4: 285 → 345 MP.
  • Level 5: 315 → 375 MP.

---

 Stun Shot

• The skill can now deal Over-hit and Critical hit.

---

 Quiver of Arrow: B Grade

• A new skill for Hawkeye, Silver Ranger and Phantom Ranger, available to learn at level 52.

• The number of arrows created is determined in increments of 100: 1 500, 1 600, 1 700 and so on up to 3 000.
• Usage cost — 200 MP.
• Base cooldown — 10 minutes.

---

 Quiver of Arrow: A Grade

• The number of created  Mithril Arrow per 1  Crystal (A-Grade) increased to 1 200–2 400.
• The amount is determined in increments of 100 arrows and with an equal chance for each possible value: 1 200, 1 300, 1 400 and so on up to 2 400.
• Usage cost reduced to 300 MP.
• Base cooldown remains unchanged — 10 minutes.

---

 Mark of Hunter

• The skill has been enhanced
• The base reduction of Resistance to Bow attacks has been increased at all skill levels: from 8% to 12%.
• If the effect was not removed, every 3 seconds it is reapplied and additionally reduces resistance to Bow attacks. Reapplication occurs up to 4 times.
• The additional reduction for each reapplication depends on the skill level:
  • Level 1: 1% — 12% → 13% → 14% → 15% → 16%.
  • Level 2: 2% — 12% → 14% → 16% → 18% → 20%.
  • Level 3: 3% — 12% → 15% → 18% → 21% → 24%.
  • Level 4: 4% — 12% → 16% → 20% → 24% → 28%.
• The duration of each stage of the effect is 3 seconds.

---

Base success chance changes affect the following summons' Blow skills:

•  Panther Fatal Claw (skill of  Dark Panther)
•  Cursed Blow (skill of  Cursed Man)

The following attacking skills of Summons have gained additional capabilities: they can now deal x2 Critical Damage and ignore Shield Defence.

 Mechanic Golem

• The skill  Mech Cannon can now deal x2 Critical Damage and ignores Shield Defence.
• For Mechanic Golem level 9 of the skill  Mech Cannon has been increased from 7 to 8.

 Cursed Man

• The skill  Cursed Strike can now deal x2 Critical Damage and ignores Shield Defence.

---

 Critical skill damage

The following physical skills have changes to their base chance of dealing x2 critical damage in PvE. These changes affect only PvE; values and mechanics in PvP remain unchanged.

 Razor Rain

• The base chance of the skill successfully landing has been significantly increased in PvE.
• The chance to deal x2 Critical Damage, depending on DEX, is now the base 15% at all skill levels in PvE. Previously, at early levels the value was lower and gradually increased to 15%.
• In PvP — unchanged.

 Force Burst

• The chance to deal x2 Critical Damage, depending on STR, in PvE has been increased to the base 15%.
• In PvP — unchanged: 15%.

 Force Storm

• The chance to deal x2 Critical Damage, depending on STR, in PvE has been increased to the base 15%.
• In PvP — unchanged: 15%.

 Whirlwind

• The chance to deal x2 Critical Damage, depending on STR, in PvE has been increased to the base 15%.
• In PvP — unchanged: 15%.

 Backstab

• The base chance of the skill successfully landing has been increased in PvE. In PvP — unchanged.
• The chance to deal x2 Critical Damage, depending on DEX, in PvE has been increased to the base 15%.
• In PvP the critical hit chance remains unchanged and still increases with the skill level — from 5% to 15%.

 Multiple Shot

• The chance to deal x2 Critical Damage, depending on STR, has been increased to the standard values for similar skills.
• In PvP the chance has been increased at early skill levels and now smoothly reaches 15%. At maximum level — unchanged.
• In PvE the chance has been increased at all skill levels, including the maximum, and reaches 25%.

---

 Passive skills

• The standardization of passive weapon mastery skills has continued. Bonus values have been rounded, inconvenient fractional values have been removed, and stat growth between levels has become smoother and more consistent.
• In some cases, later levels of passive skills received a slight enhancement — by analogy with the previously updated passive skills for armor, Polearm, Dagger, Bow and Dual Weapon mastery.
• In practice, the changes are minimal and do not radically alter the balance, but make the skills themselves significantly clearer and more precise in their values. For example, instead of arbitrary 1.9/79.4/99.3, clear values are now used 2/80/100, without strange jumps between adjacent levels.

The following have been adjusted as part of this update:

•  Weapon Mastery
•  Sword/Blunt Weapon Mastery
•  Sword/Blunt Weapon Mastery
•  Two-handed Weapon Mastery
•  Fist Weapon Mastery

---

 AoE skill target limits

A full review has been conducted of 104 AoE skills, available to players, including summoned creature skills. Target limits have been brought to a uniform and more consistent standard, and their display in descriptions has been corrected to account for how these values are actually calculated by the game.

• Now all reviewed AoE skills have a target count limit in both PvE and PvP. For skills that were previously limited only in PvE, the corresponding limit has also been added in PvP.
• For this group of skills, the additional component of the PvE limit has been increased from 10 to 12 targets. The description now indicates the resulting range, taking into account the guaranteed number of targets.
• Individual values that stood out from similar skills for no apparent reason have been adjusted.
• For some non-targeted AoE skills the guaranteed minimum has been increased by 1 target, since they have no separate primary target, which is counted additionally for targeted AoE skills.

An important clarification about the numbers in the description. Previously, the technical limit values were interpreted incorrectly: a notation of the form 6 + 12 was understood as the range "from 6 to 12". In fact, the first number denotes the guaranteed number of targets, and the second is the number of additional targets selected randomly if there are enough suitable targets nearby.

For example, the value 8 + 12 means that the skill is guaranteed to affect 8 targets and can additionally affect another from 0 to 12. Thus, its actual range is from 8 to 20 targets. Similarly, 6 + 12 means from 6 to 18 targets.

It is the final range that is now displayed in the tooltip: for example, 6~18 or 8~20. Therefore, the new number in the description does not necessarily mean the skill has been enhanced. If an old skill, for example Blazing Circle, was previously considered to be designed for 12 targets, and now shows 6~18, this does not mean its limit was increased to 18: the skill could already hit up to 18 targets, but its technical parameters were misinterpreted and displayed incorrectly by the client.

Thus, there are two different types of adjustments under this item:

• Mechanical changes — standardization of individual outlier values, addition of PvP limits, and targeted adjustment of some PvE limits.
• Display correction — tooltips now show the actual total target range. By itself, this correction does not change how the skill works.

To greatly simplify the general principle, the most common variants now look like this:

• Targeted attacking skills — primary target, 5 more guaranteed targets, and up to 12 additional targets: final range 6~18.
• Non-targeted attacking skills — 6 guaranteed and up to 12 additional targets: final range 6~18.
• Periodic damage, mass debuffs, and other indirect effects — often 8 guaranteed and up to 12 additional targets: final range 8~20.

Separately, the changes affected the following skills, which previously remained without a target limit in PvP:

•  Seal of Chaos
•  Seal of Slow
•  Seal of Winter
•  Seal of Binding
•  Seal of Poison
•  Seal of Silence
•  Seal of Scourge
•  Seal of Suspension
•  Mass Shackling
•  Sleeping Cloud
•  Mass Slow
•  Mass Fear
•  Word of Fear
•  Howl
•  Poisonous Cloud
•  Corpse Plague
•  Blaze Quake
•  Sanctuary
•  Divine Aura
•  Requiem
•  Provoke
•  Challenge for Fate

The system still has exceptions: the specific limit continues to depend on the skill's purpose and power. The full list of reviewed AoE skills and their actual ranges is provided below.

 Skill Descriptions

We continue our extensive work on bringing skill descriptions to a consistent, clear, and technically accurate format.

From September 28 to October 12, the descriptions of 604 unique skills were adjusted. Of these, 537 skills can be learned directly by players — approximately two-thirds of all learnable skills. The remaining skills are related to items, summoned creatures, and auxiliary effects.

The main goal of this work is to make skill mechanics as transparent as possible directly through their in-game descriptions, without the need to look for additional explanations.

Clarification of Individual Skill Mechanics

The descriptions of the following skills have been adjusted and clarified:

•  Blazing Skin
•  Shield Deflect Magic
•  Touch of Death
•  Fist of Paagrio
•  Royal Sacrifice
•  Ritual of Self-Sacrifice
•  Ritual of Clearance

• The mechanics of damage reflection and redirection have been clarified.
• Instant effects have been separated from effects that last for a certain duration.
• The mechanics of transferring negative effects have been clarified.
• Previously missing restrictions on using certain skills after joining a party have been added to their descriptions, for example: Can't be used for 30 sec after joining a party.

Attack Skill Elements

For offensive skills where this information was previously missing, the element of direct damage is now explicitly stated. This allows players to immediately see not only the attack type but also the element it uses.

Holy — magical attacks:

•  Divine Strike
•  Wave of Atonement
•  Circlet of Atonement

Holy — physical attacks:

•  Crushing Judgment
•  Confessor's Strike
•  Sanctuary Pulse
•  Sacred Sweep

Fire — magical attacks:

•  Seal of Flame
•  Inferno
•  Fire Vortex
•  Meteor

Fire — physical attacks:

•  Burning Chop
•  Onslaught of Paagrio
•  Demolition Impact

Water:

•  Blizzard
•  Ice Vortex
•  Diamond Dust
•  Hailstorm

Wind:

•  Demon Wind
•  Wind Vortex
•  Star Fall

Earth — magical attacks:

•  Mudslide
•  Earth Vortex
•  Stone Rain

Earth — physical attacks:

•  Crushing Strike
•  Lucky Blow

Dark:

•  Curse Gloom
•  Mass Gloom
•  Dark Vortex
•  Vampiric Mist
•  Eclipse

Ranged Physical Attacks

For physical skills that mechanically function as ranged attacks, the corresponding clarification has been added to their descriptions — long-distance physical damage.

Archer attacks:

•  Double Shot
•  Burst Shot
•  Stun Shot
•  Hamstring Shot
•  Fatal Counter
•  Lethal Shot
•  Multiple Shot
•  Death Shot

Energy Charge attacks:

•  Sonic Blaster
•  Sonic Storm
•  Sonic Rage
•  Force Blaster
•  Force Storm
•  Raging Force

Other ranged physical attacks:

•  Throwing Dagger
•  Shield Whirlwind
•  Shock Blast
•  Quick Spear

Blow Skills

The attack type is now explicitly stated in the descriptions of Blow skills. Wording such as Inflicts physical damage... has been replaced with the more specific Delivers a physical Blow....

•  Mortal Blow
•  Deadly Blow
•  Backstab
•  Lethal Blow
•  Critical Blow
•  Blinding Blow
•  Razor Rain
•  Lucky Blow

Players can now tell directly from the description that a skill uses the Blow mechanic rather than being just a regular physical attack.

Other Improvements

• Offensive skill descriptions have been clarified, specifying Power, damage type, element, and valid targets.
• Direct damage has been separated from additional negative effects, making it clear what happens immediately and what occurs only when a debuff is successfully applied.
• HP and MP recovery effects have been clarified: instant recovery is now distinguished from periodic recovery, with clear recovery values specified for periodic effects.
• The consumption of HP, MP, Energy Charges, and items has been clarified. Clear formulas have been added for MP consumption that depends on character level.
• Skill usage conditions have been detailed, including required weapons, HP thresholds, target types, and the presence of other effects.
• Restrictions after joining a party, switching subclasses, and receiving certain effects again have been added or clarified.
• Interactions between skills have been described in detail, including additional bonuses, increased attack effectiveness under specific debuffs, effect cancellation, and prevention of repeated effect application.
• Where supported by the mechanics, information about Over-hit, Critical hit, and Lethal Strike has been added. The base Lethal Strike chance is also specified for applicable skills.
• The mechanics of ignoring Shield Defence, resistances, and immunities to negative effects have been clarified.
• For passive and toggle skills, effects have been separated according to their activation conditions, While active: sections have been added, and continuous resource consumption has been clarified.
• Summoned creature descriptions have been expanded to include summon levels, active skill names, and brief explanations of their effects.
• Item consumption required to maintain summons and the frequency of consumption in and out of combat have been clarified.
• Cubic mechanics have been explained, including the attacks and debuffs they use, their values, and durations.
• Where appropriate, lore elements have been preserved or restored without replacing precise technical descriptions of the mechanics.
• The element of physical damage and ranged nature of attacks have been specified wherever supported by the skill parameters.
• Descriptions have been standardized: concise wording, separate lines for each effect, consistent stat names, and uniform time notation.

As a result, skill descriptions have become significantly more accurate, consistent, and useful — especially for players who are just getting familiar with classes and their mechanics.

Our work does not end here: we plan to continue improving the wording, enriching descriptions with atmospheric details, and gradually bringing the updated system to other languages.

 Periodic HP and MP Effects

• We adjusted the descriptions of periodic effects to make them easier to understand and compare with one another.
• Now HP/MP recovery or consumption values are specified per 1 second, rather than per one actual triggering of the effect.
• For example:

«Restores 30 HP per sec.»
or
«MP Burn: 8 MP per sec.».

• At the same time, the actual mechanics of the effects have not changed. As before, HP or MP may change in portions at certain time intervals.
• That is, the new description shows the clear average effectiveness of the effect per second, while its actual trigger frequency remains unchanged.

 Cubics

• The descriptions have been improved and made significantly more specific for Cubics. Now it is much easier to understand from the description exactly what the Cubic does, which effects it uses, whom they target, and under what conditions they trigger.
• Previously, some of this information had to be found separately or the mechanics had to be figured out independently. The descriptions have now been made clearer and more informative.

Applies to the following Cubics

Details

•  Storm Cubic
•  Vampiric Cubic
•  Phantom Cubic
•  Life Cubic
•  Viper Cubic
•  Attractive Cubic
•  Binding Cubic
•  Aqua Cubic
•  Spark Cubic
•  Assistant
•  Smart Cubic

 Prophet Skills

The descriptions of several Prophet skills have been updated and clarified. Tooltips now provide more detailed and understandable information about how the skills work, additional conditions, interactions with other effects, and important nuances of their mechanics.

The descriptions of the following skills have been updated:

•  Light of Revelation
•  Final Verdict
•  Burden of Heresy
•  Spell Turning
•  Crushing Judgment
•  Confessor's Strike
•  Sacred Sweep
•  Sanctuary Pulse

This is an informational update: the descriptions are now more accurate and easier to understand, making it easier to see important skill details directly in the game.

 Other Skills

• We carried out an extensive reworking of the descriptions of various skills and effects. The changes affected both character skills and skills and effects from monsters, Bosses, and the environment.
• Many wordings were corrected, clarified, and standardized so that the information would be displayed more clearly, accurately, and visually.
• In particular, the descriptions of resource recovery and consumption effects, periodic effects, various buffs, debuffs, and other mechanics were reworked.
• These changes primarily affect the text description and do not change the actual mechanics of the corresponding skills.

First Appearance of Bosses

Bosses and Loot

Bosses for the subclass

Blackbanners Border Outpost

Important! The location will become available on all servers from October 19  Lu4.

Wedged between harsh mountains, the outpost blocks the only path through the gorge. Beyond the high wall and palisade, anxious life never subsides: sentries watch from the towers, soldiers warm themselves by the fires, and smoke drifts over the field tents.

Deep within the fortification, under heavy stone vaults, weapons and supplies are stored. Here, even the silence seems wary—as if the outpost itself is listening to the road, awaiting the enemy's appearance.

• Location type: SG/G
• Monsters: levels 67–70, x3–4
• Areas with elite monsters
• New game mechanics
• Unique strong opponents
• Interesting places for farming
• Loot: Low A-grade equipment, enchant scrolls, Life Stones and other valuables

 Sieges

 Guards in all available Castles— Gludio, Dion, Giran, Oren and Innadril —received another boost after the previous adjustment:

• Level increased on average by +2.
• P. Atk. and M. Atk. increased on average by 20%.
• P. Def. and M. Def. increased on average by 20%.
• Max HP increased on average by 35%.

 Significantly boosted Life Crystal:

• Max HP: 10 000 → 50 000.
• P. Def.: 1 000 → 1 500.
• M. Def.: 674 → 900.

As a result, Castle defenses have become noticeably stronger: Guards live longer and participate more significantly in battle, while crystals now withstand focus much better and take longer to destroy.

We will continue to monitor the situation, assess the actual effect on sieges and will likely adjust the values several more times in future patches.

 Core

• The operation of the doors in Cruma Tower on the way to Core has been fixed: now, once opened, they should remain open for 5 minutes.
• If this iteration also fails to withstand an encounter with a thousand players, the next fix may be the complete removal of the doors.

 Last Mourning & Postmortem Studies

A week ago, a new quest was added to Cemetery, primarily designed for players who carefully explore the location. Judging by player activity, many have already discovered it and taken advantage of its rewards.

For those who may have missed it: the quest is already available in Cemetery and allows players to obtain useful resources.

Explore the location more thoroughly, discover new activities, and make the most of the available opportunities.
