Attention, Chasers!
Please check the weekly maintenance schedule below.
The following patch note pertains to contents that will be updated during the (UTC+0) May 13th,2020 Weekly Maintenance.
Maintenance will happen during the following times:
(*Above time periods are subject to change. In case of schedule change, we will update this announcement.)
[h3]New Karma Released[/h3]
Name: Soul of Magus
Weapon: Orb
Type: Long-Range, Slayer
Soul of Magus is a long-range magic slayer that uses an orb as a weapon.
The orb has a power and movement of its own that is separate from the wielder and is very versatile.
Your combat style will change depending on how you want to utilize the orb.
[h3]PVP Season 4[/h3]
Your Season 4 Rank will be soft reset depending on your rank from Season 3.
All ranks will be decreased by 3.
The highest rank you can acquire after the reset is B1 and the lowest is D1.
For E ranks, you will automatically be set to E1 regardless of which stage you were at.
Also, starting with Season 4, there will no longer be challenges that requires a Chaser to reach a certain interrupt or damage. In order to implement these, all the daily and weekly challenges that were in progress will be reset.
Consecutive Win Rating Bonus LimitWhen calculating the player's rating, you will no longer receive rating bonus for more than 10 consecutive wins. Originally, our plan for the consecutive win bonus was for the good player to advance their rating fast to fight other players at their skill level but there were cases where the bonus rating was getting out of hand.
Party Rating Calculation RevampParty Rating calculation will no longer take the individual ranking of the party member. Instead, the rating will solely be calculated by the individual member's rating. We decided to change it this way because starting with Season 3, players were able to reach a certain rank by playing a lot and we didn't want to calculate the wrong skill rating depending on their rank.
Fixed Maximum Match RatingWhen a party or an individual player hits a certain rating, their matchmaking rating will be set to a fixed amount.
This is in order to reduce the matchmaking time for players with too high of a rating.
This maximum rating might change in the future depending on how it works out.
