Eternal Return News

Hello friends,
Season 1 has come to an end and we're all looking forward to Season 2, so we'll be putting on some exciting events to help you all prepare!



[h3]Event 1: Double Daily Mission Rewards![/h3]
Daily mission rewards are now doubled. Complete those missions and start raking in the A-Coin. (Don't worry, we're not going to make them any harder either. No "Kill Wickeline x50 for 200 A-Coin…)

• When: April 6th, after maintenance ~ April 27th, before maintenance (PT)

[h3]Event 2: Double Character Rotation![/h3]
We started with a free rotation of 6, but the characters just keep on comin'. Beginning April 14th, for 2 weeks, the free rotation will be upped to 12!
There are a ton of exciting new changes coming up in Season 2, so try out some new characters while you have the chance! Practice every character throughout the pre-season to find one that totally matches your playstyle.

• When: April 13rd, after maintenance ~ April 27th, before maintenance (PT)

[h3]Event 3: Haymaker[/h3]
It ain't easy getting to the last restricted zone.
It's even harder getting to the last zone and still be lookin' fly as hell.
Though, you can always give it a try with Lumia's shining beacon of love, ambition, and friendship: Hyunwoo.
We're giving away Street Fiend Hyunwoo to anyone who plays just 10 games during this event period. Style on your opponents with Street Fiend Hyunwoo as you bust your way into Season 2!

Thank you for your patience!

Hello my lovely Lumia locals. Aesop here with a piping hot dish of Patch Notes.
As usual, it's a minor patch to help settle all the big changes we made last week.
The servers will go down to apply the 0.29.1 update for 3 hours, give or take, starting 7PM (PT) tomorrow.

[h2]Bugs & Improvements[/h2]

• 
  Match scoreboard for team modes now accurately reflects killcount.
  
• Silvia: Radar Gun(Q) no longer heals Barbara's sentry gun.
  
• Barbara: Particle Storm(R-E) no longer repeats under certain conditions.
  
• Adela: The icons for Promotion(Q) stacks are now properly displayed.
  
• Adela: Updated her skill preview and play guide description.
  
• Emma: Previously queued move commands will be properly canceled after using Change★(R).
  
• 
  Adjustments have been made to some tooltips.

Due to the decrease in Ranked matches during the pre-season, we noticed some difficulty in finding matches in the higher tiers.

To compensate for that, we've temporarily added some matchmaking adjustments for the pre-season.

The matching server will be reset starting from 7 PM (PT).

Matchmaking may be cancelled while the update is being applied, but it will normalize within a minute.

- Matchmaking will be adjusted to cast a wider range of MMR. (Immediately following the server update)
- LP Bonus / penalty will be decreased based on the MMR difference. (Following tomorrow's update)

These adjustments will be applied for all modes (solo, duo, and squad), but will return to normal matchmaking standards when Season 2 begins.

Thank you for your support!
