[Notice] Coal Tomb Power Plant (Conquest Mode) Information & Feedback Request

[p][/p][p]Hello Survivors,[/p][p][/p][p]This is the DARKEST DAYS.[/p][p][/p][p]The new multiplayer content, Coal Tomb Power Plant (Conquest Mode), was introduced with the update on October 15 (Wed) and is currently in its early trial phase.[/p][p][/p][p]Since before its release, we’ve received a tremendous amount of anticipation, feedback, and support from many Survivors — and we sincerely thank you for your enthusiasm toward this new mode.[/p][p][/p][p]This content was developed and released quickly to introduce a new PVP experience beyond the traditional farming-focused gameplay. As this is an early-stage version of the mode, we recognize that there are several areas that require adjustment and improvement. All departments within the DARKEST DAYS team are actively monitoring community feedback and in-game data in real-time, while also reviewing the collected play metrics to determine the best path forward.[/p][p][/p][p]Recently, the player feedback we’ve received seems to be focused on these two main concerns:[/p]
  1. [p]Difficulty in matchmaking due to the revised schedule for Casual and Guild Conquest modes[/p]
  2. [p]Frustration over the Guild Conquest ranking system, which seems to overly reward repetitive play rather than skills and winning[/p]
[p]Below is a detailed explanation regarding these points:[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]Concerns Regarding Casual/Guild Conquest Schedule Changes[/h3][p][/p][p]The schedule adjustments introduced in the 0.23.3 update were made to improve accessibility for global players in different regions all around the world.[/p][p]By modifying the schedule, we aimed to allow more Survivors to participate in at least one or two Conquest sessions during their local play hours.[/p][p][/p][p]Please understand that this adjustment was part of our broader efforts to ensure that more Survivors from all different regions can experience and enjoy the Conquest Mode. [/p][p][/p][p]We will continue to gather feedback regarding the matches and matchmaking in general to continually update the schedule for all our Survivors.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]Feedback Regarding the Guild Conquest Ranking System[/h3][p][/p][p]Currently, since both the ranking and reward systems are still under development, the Guild Conquest mode is operating under a trial structure designed to encourage more participation and engagement.[/p][p][/p][p]As a result, the current system favors players who participate more frequently, which has led to fatigue for some players due to repetitive gameplay.[/p][p][/p][p]During this testing period, we will continue to collect feedback and analyze gameplay data to develop a fairer, more balanced ranking structure that provides a satisfying competitive experience for all players.[/p][p]While there are currently no separate rewards tied to Guild Rankings, we sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused.[/p][p]Once the rankings and rewards are finalized, we will be sure to let the community know.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]We’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude once again for your support and feedback regarding the Coal Tomb Power Plant (Conquest) mode.[/p][p][/p][p]As a small token of appreciation, we have prepared a thank-you gift:[/p][p][/p][p]- Coupon Code: COALTOMB[/p][p]- Valid Until: 2025.11.01 03:00 (UTC)[/p][p]- Rewards: 100,000 Milla & 200 Silver Bars[/p][p][/p][p]We truly value your honest opinions and feedback to help us make the Coal Tomb Power Plant (Conquest) mode even better.[/p][p]Please feel free to continue to share your thoughts and feedback through the DARKEST DAYS community. We will actively review all feedback and consider what can be implemented.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you once again to all Survivors who continue to love and support DARKEST DAYS.[/p][p]We will do our best to bring a more enjoyable and excitement game to you all.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you.[/p][p][/p][p]DARKEST DAYS Team[/p][p][/p]
