Notice] 12/18 DARKEST DAYS Update Early Notice
[p]![]()
[/p][p]In the DARKEST DAYS, trust no one![/p][p]Hello Survivors,[/p][p]This is the DARKEST DAYS team.[/p][p]Today, we would like to provide advance notice regarding several major changes scheduled for the 12/18 (Thu) update.[/p][p]Please review the details below so that you can continue enjoying the game smoothly after the update.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]■ Upgrade System Revamp[/h3][p][/p][p]The upgrade system—an area where many survivors have expressed concerns—will soon undergo a major overhaul.[/p][p]One of the biggest changes is the removal of downgrade chances when attempting an upgrade.[/p][p]We hope this alleviates much of the frustration survivors have experienced with equipment enhancement.[/p][p]In addition, if an upgrade fails, you will now receive Upgrade Points. Once these points reach a set threshold, the next upgrade attempt will be guaranteed to succeed.[/p][p]The maximum upgrade level will also expand from 9 levels to 18 levels.[/p][p]Please note that stat increases per upgrade level will be partially adjusted to match the expanded system.[/p][p]For survivors who already possess upgraded equipment, retroactive adjustments will be applied based on your current upgrade levels.[/p][p]We are preparing a compensation method that provides greater retroactive value at higher upgrade levels, ensuring that your past efforts are properly rewarded.[/p][p]When converting the total cost spent before the revamp into the expected cost under the new system, we will ensure there is no loss at any upgrade level.[/p][p][/p][p]Please note that higher levels will not simply be doubled. Instead, they will receive even greater compensation.[/p][p]Lastly, a new system allowing you to craft upgrade tools will be added to ensure a smoother upgrade process.[/p][p]Through this system, you will be able to combine lower-grade weapon/armor upgrade tools into higher-grade tools for smoother progression.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]■ Removal of Lucky Boxes[/h3][p][/p][p]The Ocean Sentinel Tactical Armor & S550 Probability Up! Pickup Lucky Box will be the final one.[/p][p]All Lucky Boxes, previously one of the major ways to obtain equipment, will be removed from the Shop after the 12/18 (Thu) update.[/p][p](Removal List: Pickup Lucky Box, Advanced Lucky Box, Normal Lucky Box, Event Lucky Box)[/p][p]After the update, equipment will primarily be obtained through in-game farming and crafting, with increased drop rates and balanced adjustments.[/p][p]We hope this allows survivors to experience more of the core fun of the game.[/p][p]We are also preparing additional features to further enhance the farming experience, so please stay tuned.[/p][p]If you still have Lucky Coupons or Event Lucky Coupons after the 12/18 update, they will be converted into box items that maintain the same probabilities as the current Advanced Lucky Box and Event Lucky Box, respectively.[/p][p]However, please note that these converted boxes will not include any guaranteed acquisition system.[/p][p]We strongly recommend using all your Lucky Coupons and Event Lucky Coupons before the update.[/p][p]Due to this system revamp, all rewards that previously included Lucky Coupons or Event Lucky Coupons will be adjusted starting from the 11/27 (Thu) update.[/p][p]More details will be included in the upcoming patch notes.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]■ Shop Revamp[/h3][p][/p][p]The 12/18 (Thu) update will also introduce changes to products sold in the Shop.[/p][p][/p][p]\[Red Diamond Products][/p]
