Gathering Node Mechanic Adjustments and Optimizations[/p][p]We've removed some gathering nodes that interfere with PvP or cause visual clutter, while ensuring that farming is minimally affected:[/p][p]a) More Realistic Environments: Removed unnecessary Stone, Sulfur, Shellfish, and Kelp nodes along the coastline, improving the appearance and realism of coastal environments.[/p][p]b) Simplified Nodes: Removed Tin Ore nodes that would occasionally appear on the map.[/p][p]c) Reduced Plant Clutter and Seed Compensation:[/p][p]i. Removed plants that may cause visual interference from the map, including Scarlet Calamus, Sage, Bellflower, Honeysuckle, Coneflower, Yellow Lotus, and Saffron.[/p][p]ii. For Farming Metas Only: To protect the farming experience, seeds for the above plants are now sold by merchants in all neutral settlements. You can continue to grow them in your territory.[/p][p]d) Optimized Resource Guidance:[/p][p]i. All fruit and edible plants have been retained.[/p][p]ii. Increased the model size of Aloe Vera in the wilderness, making them more conspicuous. This should make it easier for you to find them and acquire Plant Fiber, an important survival material.[/p][p]2. Regional Resource Re-allocation[/p][p]We've adjusted the distribution of ores and plants in RaidZone to ensure a better match with their environments, while creating differentiation between regions.[/p][p]Plains Region (lower right of map, near the new player spawn area):[/p][p]Most: Copper, Aloe Vera[/p][p]Average: Stone, Sulfur[/p][p]Least: Iron, Tungsten[/p][p]Forest Region (lower left of map):[/p][p]Most: Iron, Tungsten[/p][p]Average: Copper, Aloe Vera[/p][p]Least: Stone, Sulfur[/p][p]Desert Region (top of map):[/p][p]Most: Stone, Sulfur[/p][p]Average: Iron, Tungsten[/p][p]Least: Copper, Aloe Vera[/p][p]Upgraded Meteor Summoner[/p][p]The Meteor Summoner can now blow up ore deposits!

Optimized trap facilities.[/p][p]a) We've noticed that the Shotgun Turret has a high barrier to entry in actual use, so we've made the following adjustments to improve its usability:[/p][p]i. More Ways to Obtain: Added more ways to obtain the Shotgun Turret. You'll have a chance of obtaining a Shotgun Turret when searching trash cans, storage crates, and defeating Deviants in the wilderness.[/p][p]ii. Reduced Build Cost: Optimized the Shotgun Turret formula. It no longer requires Wood or Memory Chips, and its Steel Ingot cost has been reduced from 60 to 40. However, it now requires Military Parts to build.[/p][p]iii. Improved Mechanics: The Shotgun Turret no longer needs electricity to operate. Just place it, and it'll start working. This should make it easier to set up your territory's defenses.[/p][p]b) The Rifle Turret no longer requires Auto Turret Controllers to repair, reducing its overall repair cost.[/p][p]c) Improved the Flamethrower's combat performance, increasing its direct damage by 4 points.[/p][p]d) Reduced the Flamethrower's build cost. Its Steel Ingot cost has been reduced from 40 to 20. This should make it easier to set up your territory's defenses.[/p][p]e) The Flamethrower Fuel Canister can now be crafted at a Primary Supplies Workbench, making it easier to access in the early game.[/p][p]2. Optimized the load-bearing issue with doors and windows. Doors and windows no longer cost any load-bearing coefficient.[/p][h3]Bug Fixes - RaidZone Mode[/h3][p]Wilderness[/p][p]Fixed an issue with the pick-up animation.[/p][h2]Custom Server Updates[/h2][p]Added Endless Dream scenarios with the Lunar Revelry Visional tag.[/p][p]

The highly requested filter function is also in development, so stay tuned![/p][p]2. Reduced the frequency at which By-the-Wind would spawn in the wilderness in some situations.[/p][p]3. Following your feedback, we've made the following balance adjustments to the damage of some Deviations and Gyms:[/p][p]a) Currently, the difficulty of acquiring healing items early on means that the Fresh Green and Hot Spring Gyms are overly difficult. This update will reduce the damage dealt by the sidekick Deviations in these gyms.[/p][p]b) Significantly increased the strength of Dr. Teddy's Psi Skill. Each heal amount has been increased from 161% to 180% of Attack, and the number of heals has been increased from 3 to 6.[/p][p]c) Corrected the damage of Snow Globe's Psi Skill. Each hit now deals 160% of Attack as damage.[/p][p]d) Changed the duration of Rebecca's Psi Skill to 9 seconds.[/p][p]e) Fixed an issue where the area of effect of the meteor in Invincible Sun's Psi Skill was too small.[/p][p]We will monitor the impact of these balance adjustments to assess if further changes are necessary. To ensure a smooth transition, we will issue Binding Grenade V ×5, Skill Mutagen - Rapid Charge ×3, Skill Mutagen - Psi Ray ×3, Skill Mutagen - Blink Strike ×3, Skill Mutagen - Group Elemental Overload ×3, and Skill Mutagen - Group Physical Enhancement ×3 to all Metas in Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve servers after this update.[/p][p]4.

[/p][h3]Territory Construction[/h3][p]1.Non-RaidZone only: Increased the territory structure limit from 700 to 1,400. Increased the territory furniture limit from 250 to 900.[/p][p]2. Following your feedback, this update will optimize the basic controls of Construction mode as follows:[/p][p]a) When copying a structure or facility, its skin and wallpaper will also be copied, so you won't have to reapply them.[/p][p]b) The system will now remember and automatically apply your last chosen skin, even if you switch to a different type of structure. This makes construction more convenient.[/p][p]c) When upgrading a structure's material or level, its original skin and wallpaper will no longer be removed.[/p][p]d) If a structure appears worn down due to low Durability, removing its skin or wallpaper will now retain its worn-down appearance, matching its actual Durability value.[/p][p]e) The visual effect of selecting a structure has been changed from a blue fill to a green outline, providing clearer visual feedback.[/p][p]f) Hovering on a structure will no longer hide its skin or wallpaper, ensuring visual consistency.[/p][p]g) Optimized the icon style of the Foundation category in the Construction menu, making it clearer and easier to identify.[/p][p]3. Non-RaidZone only: Changed the Building Master Memetic to only increase the Max Durability of all structures by 50%. Changed the Stone Structures: Intense Defense Memetic to only increase the Max Durability of stone structures by 150%.

[/p][h3]Social[/h3][p]Optimized the friend invitation feature. You can now invite a friend to join your team from their namecard.[/p][p]

[p]Dear Metas,[/p][p]We've received thousands of suggestions regarding permanent servers since their official launch. We deeply value your continued support, and your feedback is crucial to helping us improve the game.[/p][p]After evaluating your feedback, we've planned a series of optimizations for permanent servers, to be implemented in phases. The December 10(PT) and December 23(PT) version updates will address the most pressing issues you've raised, such as resource transfers, pre-selection for permanent servers, improved rules, and more.[/p][p]After the December 10(PT) update, Supply Points will be reset every month on all permanent servers. This will make it easier for players on permanent servers to try newly released content. The rules are as follows:[/p][p]1. At 12:00 AM (server time) on the 1st of every month, players on permanent servers will have their Supply Points reset to the maximum of 20,000, allowing players more flexibility in transferring resources. The next reset will take place at 6:00 AM on January 1, 2026.[/p][p]2. You can view your current Supply Points and the next reset time in Backpack > Inherit Resources.[/p][p][/p][p]Since permanent servers have a player capacity limit, players from the same scenario server may be assigned to different permanent servers based on their login time. This results in players being separated from their friends. After the December 23(PT) update, pre-selection for permanent servers will be available, guaranteeing that you and your friends can remain together![/p][p]Rules:[/p][p]1. Individual and Hive Pre-Selection: You can pre-select a permanent server either individually or as a Hive. Hive pre-selection can be initiated by the Hive leader. If successful, all Hive members will be assigned to the selected permanent server during the server merge.[/p][p]Note:[/p][p]a) The Hive leader cannot initiate Hive pre-selection if any member has already pre-selected a server individually. Conversely, if the Hive leader has already initiated Hive pre-selection, any member who wants to pre-select a server individually must first leave the Hive.[/p][p]b) Permanent server pre-selection and scenario sign-up cannot be performed simultaneously. You must choose one according to your needs.[/p][p]2. Reservation System: After completing pre-selection, your place on the selected server will be reserved for 14 days. If you do not log in within 14 days, your pre-selection will expire, and your place will be released.[/p][p]3. Server Assignment: If you do not pre-select a server, your character will be automatically assigned to the server with the most remaining capacity during the server merge.[/p][p]4. Pre-Selection Limitations: You can only pre-select a permanent server of the same scenario type as your character's current server. For example, if your character is in a standard Manibus server, you can only pre-select a standard Manibus permanent server. You cannot choose a server with a different scenario or Visional Wheel status.[/p][p]To better align the Scenario Challenge experience with player progress, an updated Scenario Challenge system will be introduced to permanent servers after the December 23(PT) update. The key improvements are as follows:[/p][p]1. Adjusted Unlock Conditions: Scenario Challenge tasks will be unlocked by collecting the required amount of Memetic Points rather than reaching a specific scenario phase.[/p][p]* Due to system adjustments, we plan to optimize the Scenario Challenge unlock conditions again in January 2026. This will not affect the progress or status of existing tasks. For more information, please refer to subsequent announcements regarding the planned adjustments.[/p][p]2. Task Progress Resets: Immediately after the update, all Scenario Challenge tasks on permanent servers will be replaced with new tasks and rewards, and all task progress will be reset.[/p][p]3. Server Merge Synchronization Rules: Following the update, when a character joins a permanent server during a server merge, all their Scenario Challenge tasks will be replaced with the permanent server's tasks and rewards, and all task progress will be reset.[/p][p]We've received much feedback regarding Evolution's Call and Prismverse's Clash permanent servers, citing issues such as too few active players for matchmaking and compromised fairness. Our data confirms that there are usually fewer than 50 active players on permanent servers for these two scenarios. This is insufficient to support a healthy PvP environment and has caused confusion and frustration for our players. After careful consideration, we've decided to close all PvP scenario permanent servers on January 8, 2026. The details are as follows:[/p][p]1. PvP Server Closure Notice: After the December 10(PT) update, a PvP permanent server closing event will be launched on the Event interface. Characters currently on the Evolution's Call or Prismverse's Clash PvP permanent servers can register to transfer to another server and then claim their compensation rewards from the event screen.[/p][p][/p][p]2. End of Registration: Registration for Evolution's Call and Prismverse's Clash permanent servers will cease on December 4(PT), after which players can no longer join these servers via registration or invitations.[/p][p]3. Closure Date: The aforementioned servers will be settled and closed on January 7(PT), 2026. After this time, any characters and their associated resources still on the servers will be automatically transferred to Eternaland.[/p][p]* Permanent servers for the other scenarios are not affected and will continue operating as per normal.[/p][p] [/p][p]Once Human Development Team[/p][p] [/p][p] [/p]
