•

• 
  November 27, 10:00 ~ December 3, 2024, 09:59 (UTC-5)
  

When the [Operator Boosting] buff is active, the operator's chance of successfully leveling the Side Skill will increase.

Success Chance Increase
SSR: No change
SR: 10% Increase
R: 50% Increase
N: 100% Increase

The table below depicts when you are leveling the SSR Operator.


[h3]Rarity[/h3]


The success chance follows the multiplication rule of probability.

For example, when the buff is active, the success rate when using the R operator to the SSR operator does not equal 65%, but 22.5%.

Reason: 0.15 * 1.50 * 100 = 22.5

Dear CEOs,

We would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused by the temporary maintenance conducted on November 20, 2024.

Through the November 20 update, we released an update that included the Black Friday mission and related packages. However, we discovered an error in the Black Friday Payback mission after the scheduled maintenance. This issue allowed CEOs to claim additional Admin Coins, even if they had already completed the mission or hadn't spent any coins. Due to the sensitive nature of the in-game currency, we decided to conduct an emergency temporary maintenance to correct this error.

Here's a breakdown of the issue and the solution.

▣ Issue

An issue in the Black Friday Payback mission allowed CEOs to claim additional Admin Coins, even if they had already completed the mission or hadn't spent any coins.

▣ Solution

Reset of Black Friday Payback Mission

Any Admin Coins spent after the scheduled maintenance will be counted toward the mission and will be able to be claimed back through the event.


Recovery of Incorrectly Claimed Admin Coins:

We will recover any additional Admin Coins that were incorrectly claimed due to the bug.

Please note that if you have already spent these incorrectly claimed coins, your in-game balance of Admin Coins will be adjusted accordingly. This may result in a negative balance on our database and appear as 0 on your screen until you earn enough coins to offset the amount.

※ The Admin Coin count for the Prestige Service will not be affected.

Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by this issue and the subsequent temporary maintenance. We are working hard to resolve this matter as quickly as possible for a smooth gaming experience.


Thank you for your understanding.

Dear CEOs,

We will perform temporary maintenance on November 20 to ensure continued smooth operation.

During the maintenance, CEOs will not be able to connect to the game.

Check below for more details.
