Patch Notes - November 17, 2021
Greetings Adventurers,
New and Improvements
Character
● Added a new banner with information on Season Characters, their benefits, plus the option to create one after pressing the button to create a new character from the Character Selection screen.
- This UI will only be displayed for Adventurers who are able to create a Season Character.
● Changed the "test NPCs" in Battle Arena from monster-type to character-type.
- When skills are used on these test NPCs, any inflicted debuffs/CCs and the number of times the corresponding debuffs/CCs are inflicted will now be displayed.
We've changed the test monsters available in the Battle Arena to improve user experience when practicing for PvP and/or acquiring data on class changes. We've also added an interface that displays specific debuffs as well as a counter to keep track of the total number of times said debuff is being applied. We hope this encourages more Adventurers to test their mettle in the Battle Arena.
● Changed the idle animation for the Sleepless Sun Outfit.
● Changed the idle animation for the Burning Soul Outfit.
Item

- Once you're able to summon, you will see an effect displayed in the center and around the Activate button in the UI.

※ However, they will not be able to participate in Level 1 Node Wars in Balenos/Serendia nor Node Wars within the territory they are lord of.
- Lord guilds/alliances can participate in Node Wars but they cannot occupy the nodes.
* Therefore, the node will be liberated if the Lord guild/alliance wins the Node War.

- The Lord guild/alliance will get the same number of Resplendent Medal of Honor rewards for winning/liberating/losing in a Node War according to the level of the node.
- When the Lord guild/alliance wins a Node War, they won't be able to occupy the node, but they will be able to gain access to the war vendor according to the node tier they won up to 2 hours after the conclusion of the Node War.
※ Lord guilds/alliances that won a Node War can only use the war vendors on the Node War server in which they control a node.
