[Announcement] November 5th Developer Notes

Hello, Heroes of Bermesiah!
Greetings, this is Tomo, newly appointed as the Director of GrandChase Classic.
From now on, we plan to communicate directly with our heroes through Developer’s Notes, and will do our utmost to deliver an improved GrandChase experience.
We understand that many heroes have been curious due to the recent lack of content update news. In this Developer’s Notes, we would like to share our upcoming update roadmap and introduce new challenges that we are preparing for the future.

■ November 12th Pre-Registration Guide
The upcoming Pre-Registration is focused on The Consecutive Update Starting from December 3rd.
The story will focus on the Story of GrandChase after Tower of Disappearance and Iris’ Journey.
The base adventure took place in Kriktria where heroes put a stop to Ashtaroth’s evil schemes. The upcoming new adventure will reveal one of the 5 new regions. This will be our first official story through the Abyssal Path.
We plan to shift the focus of the adventures of the GrandChase from Side Story format to Main Story, and will allow new characters to shine in the main adventure.
■ New Dungeon Added
This update will feature the first Story Dungeon.
The new dungeon will provide various growth materials, allowing characters to enjoy story and growth at the same time.
Through the dungeon, players will learn more about Iris’ past.
■ Max Level Expansion
In this update, Character Max Level will be expanded from 85 to 90.
The Max Level expansion is not to expand simple repetitive gameplay. We have structured so that players can see the game’s systems and contents more naturally while having an easier growth in character level.
Once the character reaches the max level, players will go through Chase Level Up to gather Chase Points, investing them into the stats to power up the character.
■ New Farmable Items
This update will add new farmable items for character growth.
New Skill Rune:
This item can enhance the character’s skill. Players can choose to enhance skills of their choice to amplify their personal styles.
Farm runes in the new dungeons to try out various combinations and tactics!
New Anklet:
This update will add anklet, a limited item, as the Farmable Item that can be used towards Total Character Battle Power Growth.
The anklet will be a new goal to be a milestone for players in their long-term growth.
■ Dungeon Cutscene Skip Function Added
We have added a function to allow players to Skip Cutscenes through Settings where dungeon cutscenes were mandatory.
Players can now automatically skip cutscene even if the room leader does not so that they are not stressed out by other players.
■ UI Standardization and Improvements
We will be standardizing the UI in a new format.
We plan to improve the UI in a new, latest style while retaining the old format as much as possible so that many parts that are inconsistent are consistent.
We hope players look forward to the improvements in the UI in not just the appearance but also in function.
■ More Communication with Heroes
The dev team plans to create a direct communication means with the players.
We will be providing improvements through additional dev notes and various means of communications. We will improve a lot of areas where we lack so heroes can enjoy GrandChase even more.
■ Other Improvements in Progress
The dev team is working to reduce repetitive gameplay, the need for grinding, and over-reliance on chance.
Our goal is to create an environment for heroes to easily raise their characters and enjoy various contents.
We will continue to adjust the gameplay tempo and reward structure so players can enjoy the charms of GrandChase.
Please look forward to the upcoming update, new contents, and improvements.
We will continue to communicate with heroes and bring the best experience possible.
Thank you!
