Season System Optimization Announcement — Sync, Settlement & Summon Updates

[p]Dear Travelers,[/p][p]To create a more unified seasonal experience and ensure fair progression across all servers, we will be implementing a series of adjustments to season synchronization, settlement rules, and summon pacing. These changes aim to reduce progression gaps, improve long-term balance, and provide a smoother transition into future seasonal content.[/p][p][/p][p]𝐈. 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐜: 𝐄𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫[/p]

• [p]In the past seasons, differing server launch times led to significant gaps in gameplay progress, content experience, and event participation.[/p]
• [p]To address this, we will adjust the season mechanics moving forward:[/p]
  • [p]After the launch of the new script on April 7, all servers will enter the latest season simultaneously to explore its content together.[/p]
  • [p]Merging conditions will remain unchanged. Only servers with low activity will undergo merging to prevent overly intense ranking competition.[/p]
  • [p]New Travelers who complete the newbie season will no longer need to play through other seasonal scripts; they can skip lengthy season cycles and jump straight into the latest one.[/p]
• [p]In competitive modes, we will still match Travelers based on server age and strength, so progression differences won't spoil the experience. Future seasons will gradually introduce more designs that do not rely heavily on equipment or growth depth, making strategy and decision-making the core focus.[/p]

[p][/p][p]𝐈𝐈. 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐀𝐝𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬[/p]

• [p]In the April 7 season mechanics update, certain servers will advance early to their season settlement.[/p]
  • [p]On April 7, servers with a season duration of 64 days or more will undergo full-season settlement.[/p]
  • [p]On April 7, servers with a season duration of less than 64 days will undergo partial settlement based on current progress and transition into the new season.[/p]
• [p]Merging conditions will remain the same. Only servers with low activity will be merged.[/p]

[p][/p][p]𝐈𝐈𝐈. 𝐌𝐢𝐝-𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 "𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞"[/p]

• [p]We fully understand that early settlement may raise concerns regarding rewards for unfinished modes such as dungeons, Fey Meander, Ancestral Ruins, and Thunder's Rumble. All Travelers will receive a generous anniversary gift: Wyrmarrow x4,000; Master Scroll x6; Medal of Glory x20,000; and S1 Soul Fragment - Legendary x15.[/p]
• [p]Upon entering the new season, we will also open a customized wish pool — Echoing Shadow Summon — for Travelers affected by the early settlement.[/p]
• [p]If an event has started but has not fully concluded on a server, we will classify it into three types of modes and provide compensation based on Traveler participation:[/p]
  • [p]If the following modes are active during the early season settlement, the same compensation will be issued to all Travelers on the server.[/p]
    • [p]Hard Training: Master Scroll x3[/p]
    • [p]Crisis Rally Battle Exchange: R-Legendary Hero Fragment x10, S1 Soul Fragment - Legendary x50[/p]
    • [p]Crisis Rally Battle Chest: Wyrmarrow x300, S1 Soul Fragment - Legendary x2, Master Page x10[/p]
    • [p]Otherworld Exploration: Master Scroll x4[/p]
  • [p]For the following mode leaderboards, Travelers will receive compensation for one rank higher than their own (e.g., 4th place gets 3rd place rewards). The top-ranked Traveler will receive an additional bonus.[/p]
    • [p]Blade Colosseum Season Points Leaderboard[/p]
      • [p]Top Rank Extra Compensation: Heliolite Dice x10[/p]
    • [p]Blade Colosseum Guess Token Leaderboard[/p]
      • [p]Top Rank Extra Compensation: S1 Soul Fragment - Legendary x5[/p]
    • [p]Clepsydra Rankings - Phase III (All Phases Settle Rewards Under Phase III)[/p]
      • [p]Top Rank Extra Compensation: Heliolite Dice x10[/p]
  • [p]For the following quest/progress-based modes, unlocked rewards will be issued based on individual progress, meaning everyone can claim all available rewards for these modes.[/p]
    • [p]Season Journey[/p]
    • [p]Summon Event Cumulative Rewards[/p]
      • [p]Unclaimed rewards for which the conditions were met will be reissued as an Option Chest.[/p]
    • [p]Heroic Journey[/p]
    • [p]Continental Challenge Progress[/p]
    • [p]Pass Events[/p]
• [p]Since some equipment cannot be used in Hymn of Chess and Blade, Cross-Boundary Storage compensation will also be provided.[/p]
  • [p]Equipment sets allowed in Hymn of Chess and Blade can be retrieved normally.[/p]
  • [p]Equipment sets prohibited in Hymn of Chess and Blade must be exchanged for Hymn of Chess and Blade–compliant sets, and all attributes will be retained.[/p]
  • [p]If no equipment is carried over, you may select Hymn of Chess and Blade–compliant Common Mythic equipment based on the number of vacant slots. Primary attributes will be fixed to the best-in-slot attributes of the corresponding set, while secondary attributes will be random.[/p]

• [p]Summon Pool Pacing[/p]
  • [p]As seasonal content is now unified across all servers, we have adjusted the pace of summon events to make it easier for everyone to obtain their desired heroes.[/p]
  • [p]Moving forward, the start and end times of summon events will be synchronized across all servers to reduce pacing differences.[/p]
  • [p]Targeted Summons will be optimized and upgraded to include R-Legendary support heroes only for the current season.[/p]
  • [p]A Wish Summons event will be launched to offer specific R-Legendary damage dealers, while the Odyssey Summons event — replaced by Targeted Summons and Wish Summons — will be discontinued.[/p]
• [p]With the update to future-season summon schedules, Forthfaring Summons will also be adjusted to include only Rare support heroes from the new script, avoiding early draws of Rare damage dealers that could unbalance early-season progression.[/p]
• [p]These adjustments are not intended to reduce content, but rather to help Travelers make clearer choices within a reasonable rhythm, without unnecessary pressure or confusion.[/p]

[p]We understand that season adjustments may raise questions, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and continued support during this transition. Our goal is to build a healthier, more synchronized seasonal environment where strategy and participation matter most.[/p][p]Thank you for journeying with us — we look forward to exploring the new season together.
