[h2]System[/h2]

[h3]Hide nickname[/h3]

You can now choose to 'hide nickname' so other players will see a temporary nickname instead
  • The temporary nickname will appear as "Test Subject 1", "Test Subject 2", etc.
  • When your character dies, both your real nickname and your temporary nickname will appear in the final screen.


[h3]Matchmaking & LP[/h3]

Before introducing Ranked mode, we're planning to run some tests on matchmaking.
  • Increased the LP weight given to player kills in Solo mode. We hope this entices solo players to pick more strategic fights in different situations.
  • LP changes can affect particular characters, and LP is an important factor in making character balance adjustments, so we will monitor it and adjust accordingly.
  • LP penalties for duo and squad teams have been slightly lowered.


[h3]Matching Complete![/h3]

The feature that made Eternal Return pop to the front of your screen has been removed due to problems in the last QA process. However, the blinking taskbar icon will remain.


[h3]Handling improvement[/h3]
  • Casting abilities no longer cancels movement instructions.
  • Movement while using skills has been optimized to be smoother.


[h3]Optimization[/h3]
  • We're continuing to focus on the improvement of in-game character resources (mesh, textures, models, animations).
  • Previously we did some tweaks to Isol -- this time we'll be looking at Magnus.
  • The load on resource-optimized characters is reduced, so the overall load will be reduced as more characters are added.
