Thank you

Dear CEOs,
CounterSide Global Preview in April, 2023 is now arrived!
Check out what will happen at the CounterSide in April!

Dear CEOs,

My name is Kim Hyun Soo, the new Head PD of CounterSide.

Today, I am here to discuss the upcoming updates for the first half of 2023.

[h2][ New Co-Op Battle Boss: Tyrant Gigas ] [/h2]



The new Co-Op Battle Boss, Tyrant Gigas is planned to be featured at the start of May 2023. Tyrant Gigas is a superior type of Tyrant Sword and Tyrant Armor, which we hope will become a new challenge to all those who enjoy Co-Op Battles.

The [Co-Op Battle Renewal] which was on the previous version of the roadmap is on hold. We concluded that the Co-Op Battle function itself is not serving its purpose to its full potential just yet.
To compensate, to allow more CEOs to participate in the Co-Op Battle, we are currently renewing the consortium UI as well as adding in practice mode without any penalties. These features will be added at the end of April 2023 to allow CEOs to use this feature to practice the new boss, Tyrant Gigas.

[h2][ Guilty Gear - STRIVE - Collaboration ][/h2]



On June 2023, a long-awaited collaboration with Guilty Gear - STRIVE - will begin! More detailed information on the collaboration will be released soon, but we can tell you this much that to maximize the attractiveness of Guilty Gear - STRIVE-, we are planning to alter the method of acquiring the collab units.

Moreover, even though the collaboration is new to the Global Server, but is a rerun for the Korean server. Meaning, these collaboration units existed for quite a long time, hence some of the collaboration units are under consideration for a balance patch. What's more, there will be an addition to the collaboration unit, hence please look forward to the event!

[h2][Jukebox System: Acquisition Condition Added][/h2]

Towards the end of May, we are planning an update on the Jukebox System where conditions to acquire each BGM will be displayed on the screen. The main goal of the Jukebox System was to give CEOs a hidden achievement of sorts and provide excitement upon clearing hidden achievements, but at this point, we have concluded that the original intent was not working.

[h2][ Policies on Buffs & Debuffs ] [/h2]

Now I will explain a bit about the buff/debuff and status effects. Before explaining them, I’d like to modify a terminology, Debuff RES. Debuff RES is basically the upper concept of just Debuff and we’re going to change it to Status Effect RES. This change will be implemented at in-game and we will notice it soon.

The functions are extremely complicated and intertwined with each other. Under these circumstances, three statuses, stun does not get influenced by Nullify Buff/Debuff effects. However, CEOs will have no way of knowing this information in-game.

Therefore, we are currently reviewing to improve the visibility or statuses that do not have any effect by Nullify Buff/Debuff, to quickly notify the CEOs what effect each unit is under.

[h2][ Gauntlet Event Mode ] [/h2]

We are also preparing a new gauntlet mode without having to worry about league downgrades. It will have a mode without applying gear stats, a modes where everyone can have a chance to use newly released units in a limited fashion, and more. We are coming up with more event modes to relieve stress from the PVP.

[h2][ Adjustments in the required Victory Points and League Downgrade][/h2]

Starting from the first Courage season, a limited PVP skin was added as a reward. However, limited to the Master league the CEOs in the Masters did not get demoted at the start of the season reset, hence, they remained on that league.

Therefore, starting from the Sincere season starting from June, CEOs in Masters will also get demoted along with the season reset. Also, we plan to adjust the required Victory Points to advance from one league to another.

[h2][ Upcoming Balance Patch ] [/h2]

We are gathering data from CEOs from the Platinum league and above of the Ranked Battle on the number of squad recruits, win rates, number of bans, and so on to pick on units to be balanced and adjusted around mid-April 2023.


[h2][ Collection Renewal ] [/h2]

Collection renewal is planned to be implemented at the start of August 2023. On this renewal, CEOs will be able to see all the bits and pieces of information that were scattered in the game in one place. Additionally, more detailed information and visual aids such as skill cut-ins of each character will be organized and added to the collection to help understand each character.

[h2][ Upcoming Substreams ] [/h2]



On the Global server, until the start of August 2023, the following Substreams will be released:
• The Moonless Night
• The Iron Knight
• Three to Three
• Neverland Nevermore

Please look forward to all the stories that are going to be opened!


All of the dev team and I will do our best so that our CEOs can continue to enjoy playing and anticipate more content in CounterSide.

This concludes the end of this episode of the Dev Notes.

Please take care during the seasonal changes, and have an amazing remainder of the day.

Thank you.
