Florensia News

Hohoho! - And therewith a merry Christmas to all!
Christmas is coming up and so is the time of love and family.

Traditionally, before Christmas people write a letter to Santa Claus to tell him their wishes. And we also want to do something like that this year.
"Letter to Santa Claus" - A contest about writing a nice Christmas letter to Santa Claus and to tell him about his wishes or worries. The letter may be written or recorded in any form, but should be based on the theme of Florensia and Christmas. The deadline for sending the letter to Santa Claus is 23.12.2020 at 00:00 (UTC+1). The winner of the contest will be announced already on 24.12.2020 and will win a christmas present.

Apart from a contest, we will also provide an advent calendar filled with puzzles and prizes. Every day from 01.12.2020 to 23.12.2020 we will upload single puzzles on discord, which you can solve. Once you have the solution, send it to Ferrox or Namica until 00:00 (UTC+1) of that day with a name of one of your characters for a possible win. The winner of each day will then be drawn and during the next day everyone in the DM will be told whether they have won or lost.

To make the christmas time even more wonderful and to give you even more entertainment during this time, we will also visit you on the four days of advent ingame! (Both on Luxplena and Bergruen).

• 1st Advent: Hide and Seek (Winners can wish for bosses or monsters)
  
• 2nd Advent: Quiz Event (winners will be rewarded with codes)
  
• 3rd / 4th Advent: Partyspawn!
  

The exact times for the individual events on the Advent days will be announced promptly in Discord.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and stay healthy!

Dear Florensians,

Some of you may remember that on the ocassion of Florensia's fifth birthday we offered all guilds to celebrate their birthday with a private guild spawn.
However, it seems that this has been forgotten, so we would like to remind you of this now. But there will be some changes regarding the guild spawns.

Feedback regarding some issues
Over the time, we have received a lot of feedback regarding problems. From this feedback we could conclude that many guilds had the problem of not knowing when their guilds birthday is.
Also the fact that you had to register for a spawn via Ticket System was a disturbing factor for many people. One of the last problems we mentioned was that the message would get lost in between the other messages and would quickly be forgotten. Therefore we would like to inform you about our changes to the guild spawns.

Rule changes due to the problems
The registration for the guild spawn will no longer be done via the ticket system, but is now possible via Discord. Only one of your guild has to contact a member of the [Flo] Eventteam.
In addition to the registration, the exact time of the spawn event is now also regulated via Discord.
Furthermore it is no longer necessary that you get your spawn exactly or very close to your current birthday.

Every guild is allowed to celebrate its birthday during the year without having to stick to an exact founding date. The last point of the change, is dedicated to the registration. There will now be a six-monthly registration period (i.e. January/July).
The exact registration period in one of the two months will be announced with the corresponding news at that time. During the registration period you only have to tell a member of the [Flo] Eventteam about your interest in a guild spawn, so that they can note your interest.
You don't have to look for an exact date in this registration period. The exact dates for the individual events will be made in the course of the half year.

Apart from this rule change, the following rules will come into effect at the spawn event itself:

• Each guild may only celebrate its birthday once a year
  
• The duration of the Spawn Event is 30min
  
• The event will be led by the present Eventi - that means, not all wishes will be fulfilled
  
• At least 5 people from the guild must participate in the event
  
• The guild must be at least one year old!
  
• If a guild misses its scheduled date, without early cancellation, that guild will not have a chance to re-register for that year
  

If you are interested in registering for a private guild spawn before the end of this year, please contact us from 16.11. - 23.11. on Discord.
From the new year on, the registration period will be, as mentioned before, once in January and once in July!

Dear Florensians,

Todays patch focuses mainly on hitrate values of Essences. Generally speaking, the low
hitrates compared to avoidance values meant that avoidance was (and still is)
unproportionally more effective than its counterpart.
To combat this, we buffed the hitrate of all Essences across the board. Additionally, we also
changed the Blue Bat Essence (the only one with Recovery Skill Up) to give full support
priests a solid option to choose.

And last but not least: Double EXP Event is online again!

Dear Florensians,

We are incredibly happy to announce that the first class balance patch is here!
This is something we have all been looking forward to for a very long time and we are
proud to finally be able to provide you with the first of many updates to come. This was
made possible not only by the hard dedication of the Florensia team but also you, the
community.

All of the changes have been reviewed by the balance taskforce which is comprised of
community members.
We have also decided to give the skill descriptions a long needed update. All descriptions
of todays' updated skills have therefore new descriptions across all languages.
Going forward, we will update the descriptions for all skills as we continue with the class
balance patches.

With todays' patch also comes a free skill reset for everyone!
This free skill reset will appear automatically in your skill window (Letter 'K' on keyboard by
default).
However, choose wisely on when to use it. We are providing one with todays' patch as it is
the first of many to come. All subsequent patches will NOT provide a free skill reset. We
plan on giving out another free skill reset once we reach a steady point with the class
balancing. However, we have no date as to when this is going to be and it will more than
likely take months.

[h2]General Updates[/h2]

• All pet skill descriptions have been updated to be more informative.
  
• All skills that have been subject to change in todays' patch have updated descriptions across all languages.
