[h3]Ended Events[/h3]

• An Unexpected Epilogue
  

[h3]Content[/h3]

While the Red Battlefield was previously set up in a way that assigned battlefields to each server, today's update now changes this into a single, combined form. As a result, you will now be able to enter the Red Battlefield of your choosing without having to switch servers. Thanks to this new format, the Red Battlefield will now be able to have new layouts. There's probably many of you who feel the current map is boring now, so we will do our best to introduce new layouts as quickly as possible for you to enjoy.

• Added a new Marni server where you can enjoy the Red Battlefield.
  
  • Go to the ESC menu > Red Battlefield to be moved to the Red Battlefield on the Marni server. Moving to the Marni server is unaffected by the cooldown for switching servers.

[h3]All Classes[/h3]

We've carried out improvements in all our classes. It's a special occasion for us as the update is based on the opinions of adventurers who participated in our focus group testing and we'd like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to them. Many of the ideas were deliberated in-depth and extensively among our staff to ensure that the following changes would contribute to the overall balance of the game.

Today's updates focus on improving each class, especially their performance of certain skills. In order to compensate for the decreasing DP efficiency since the release of Succession, we've revised the Damage Reduction Rate effect per DP range. However, the difficulty of some monster zones may drop too sharply due to this so this change may be subject to adjustments. The Extra AP effect per AP range has also been raised slightly to go with the new rise in defense efficiency. Furthermore, the base AP of summoned creatures has been set to 100 since the summoner's Extra AP did not apply to their damage, making them relatively weaker compared to the summoner as they progress in the game. Lastly, to players who are interested in news regarding Awakening related damages, we plan to closely observe the new increases in defense efficiency and further adjust the Awakening skills' damage based on the collected data after the update. There are still so many suggestions from the players that we haven't entirely worked out yet but we plan to present them through the Global Lab as soon as we develop them.

• Increased the base AP of summoned objects/creatures (including the ones that appear during skills) up to 100.
  
  
• Flow: Cry of Darkness damage depends on the Blade of Darkness skill level learned.
  

• Raised the Damage Reduction per DP range by up to 10%.
  
  
  
• Raised the Extra AP per AP range.
  
  
  
• You can no longer unequip gear for the first 5 sec after using a skill with a CC status effect.
