Dev Note: New Season Updates and Rewards

Hello Chasers,
This is the KurtzPel Team.

KurtzPel’s first ever PVP season will be heading this way on the August 7th Maintenance.
In preparation for this, we would like to explain the all new ‘Achievement System (Name TBD)’ that will be directly impacting Season 1.

The most important thing about the Season Update is the implementation of ‘Season Level’.
A Season Level is a separate leveling/Ranking gauge that will correspond to individual Seasons.
This ‘Season Level’ will be increased using the ‘Achievement System (Name TBD)’.
(From this point on, all names related to the Achievement System are TBD.)

Achievements will consist of 3, separate categories: ‘Daily Achievement’, ‘Weekly Achievement’, and ‘Seasonal Achievement’.

‘Daily Achievement’ and ‘Weekly Achievement’ will be designed to be fairly easy to complete, but will require the Chaser to contribute towards the respective categories frequently.
‘Seasonal Achievements’ will be difficult to acquire and challenging in nature.

As you complete the aforementioned Achievements, you will acquire EXP that will increase your ‘Season Level’.
You will need to complete a variety of Achievements in order to increase, or eventually, top-out your ‘Season Level.’

The ‘Season Level’ will remain throughout the season and will reset when that Season comes to an end.
When you reach a certain ‘Season Level’, you will acquire rewards for reaching those set levels.
The ‘Season Level’ rewards will be announced at a later date.

Also, with the start of a new Season, your ‘PVP Rank’ will be reset.
Your existing PVP rank will be reset and when the Season comes to an end, you will receive rewards depending on your PVP Rank.

On August 7th, our first ever official Season will start, and we strongly encourage every Chaser to strive for the top, increase your desired ‘Season Level’, fight for the highest ‘PVP Rank’ possible, and take on any who stand in your way to keep it there.
(We expect each season to last around 3 ~ 4 months but this also could change depending on development schedule.)

In order to thank every Chaser that has enjoyed KurtzPel since the launch of Early Access, we would like to reward you. To show our gratitude for all the time and dedication that you guys and girls have shown us, we have prepared a reward for all Pre-Season ranked Chasers.

You still have around 3 weeks until the Pre-Season comes to an end, and we hope this motivates some of you to climb the PVP ranks in order to receive better rewards.

We will continue our best to make KurtzPel fun for you all.
See you in Eltheca!

Thank you.

* Pre-Season (Current) PVP Rank Reward
- You will only receive the rewards for your respective rank.
Example: If you are A4, you will receive the A Rank reward (Rebirth Ticket X 1
Supply Box (Costume) x 6, Basic Chaser Symbol (Gold ver.) (Belt)) and A 4Stage reward 1 (Gold Ring x 3) and A 4Stage reward 2(Advanced Dye x 1)
- The following rewards will be given to Chasers at the start of Season 1 during the August 7th Maintenance.
- All ranking will be based on the ranking board at the time of Server Close on August 7th.
- All rewards will be received by the first character that logs in and all items cannot be sold on the Steam Market.

July 17th Weekly Maintenance Schedule Patch Notes

Hello Chasers, Thanks for your patience! The KurtzPel Maintenance is now completed and the servers are live!
The 30% CP & AP Bonus Event will be held from now to 07:00 (UTC) as compensation (4 Hours from now)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our original, intended design for the items being dropped from PVE missions were to provide something that’s rare and of high value.
Understandably, and because of the rarity involved, we expected that these items would be traded at a higher value as well.
However, because of the low CP exchange rate that these items currently represent, these items weren’t utilized as intended… In short, they flooded the market. Which in turn, lowered the perceived value of these items. In order to instill a better sense of value upon these items, we will be making a series of changes.

Please bear with us on this:
Firstly, we have made the decision to make them untradable on the Steam Market. Being Chasers ourselves, we understand why this action alone may upset some of you.
However (and secondly), we’re going to be integrating these items into the brand new, upcoming Crafting System. This is the same Crafting System that we’d previously revealed on our Roadmap; a feature that will be extremely beneficial to all KurtzPel players.
However, we still need some time to finish developing the Crafting System (CS). We do realize that many of you may acquire more, duplicate items prior to the new feature being updated. To offset this, we decided to increase the CP exchange value of these items in-game.
This way, it ensures all Chasers, whether you have these items or not, would achieve better results from holding onto these items.
On the day of the Crafting System update, all existing PVE mission items will become of significant use. So, unless you’re hurting for CP, we strongly suggest that you hold onto these to use when the Crafting System comes to KurtzPel.

Attention, Chasers!
