Minor Patch 0.23.2 Adjustments

Hello my dear friends. Aesop here with a quick correction for the patch notes.

We looked a bit more into Aya, especially Assault Rifle Aya starting with a pistol. We found that Aya has a "pistol completion rate" of 85.3%, considerably lower than Silvia's 90% and Isol's 94.2%.

This will seemingly need further analysis. As a result:

[h3]XCR Changes have been reverted[/h3]

Magnus's Fang Mace was adjusted due to data points we found in squad, so we determined it would be better to adjust Magnus's squad strength rather than the weapon. As a result:

[h3]Hammer Magnus Damage Dealt (Squad) 97% -> 95%[/h3]

We will continue to focus on and adjust balance when we discover new and unique data points that may be helpful to us in the future.

Thank you for your understanding!

  • Bike from Hell (R) now goes in the correct direction when activated for most cases.
    • Magnus now starts his bike in the right direction when the angle between the direction he is looking before activating and the direction he wants to go is wide. (Occasionally Bike from Hell didn’t start or was way off)
    • Some.. weird stuff still may occur when Magnus runs into an enemy or a wall. His bike goes in the direction where the ‘overlap’ happened. We will work on this, but skill modifications always need some time, and his Bike mechanism is rather unique.

Point Exploit and Adjustment in Ranked Matches

Hello survivors of Lumia Island!

Earlier today, some players experienced an abnormal point change due to an exploit in the game. In addition to the ones responsible, another 207 players took advantage of this exploit to change their points in ranked matches.

We have since adjusted these points and have issued permanent bans to all those who abused the exploit. In addition to our first security update, we will implement greater security measures going forward.

We will do our best to avoid this from happening again.

Thank you for your continued support!

[h3]Stream sniping/stalking[/h3]

We are keeping a close eye on any reports or cases of stream sniping / stalking. Watching another player's live stream to attempt to circumnavigate in-game restrictions, like fog of war, or to track their location, will result in punishment. Targeting another player by intentionally trying to queue against them and kill them will also result in punishment.

[0.23.1] Update and Server Instability Notice

0.23.1 Update is a maintenance-free deployment and client update. Please quit and restart Steam to receive this patch update.

[h2]Server Instability[/h2]

After we deployed our patch, servers in all regions began experiencing periods of instability and inability to join games at around 11 PM KST. We hope to avoid this issue from happening again in the future by testing other methods of distribution.

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

  • Can no longer attack while dead/downed.
  • Sissela will attack and take damage properly when in a restricted area
    (Sissela's rank ban has been lifted).
  • Fiora's Garde (R) no longer cancels when reactivating.
  • Emma's Bunnymorph (E) sometimes slowed a tad too much (This fix may take up to an hour to be applied).
  • Traps should now properly detect enemies inside the bush.
  • Knockbacks should now work properly.


Separately, the following issue was fixed by deploying a patch to our API server at around 8:40 PM KST. We have addressed a bug that prevented promotions to start after players received 99 LP.

We apologize to those who have lost precious time and LP due to today's server instability and bugs. As a token of our apology, we will be sending 300 NP to all players this Friday at approximately 00:00 KST.

Thank you for your continued support!
