NODE/CONQUEST WAR
The 2nd week of the Conquest War Pre-Season will begin soon. After the update from last week, we are sure that each of the Adventurers have their own perspective and thoughts on the new victor's rewards, Mediah/Valencia territory Conquest War AP/DP limitations, and other changes. We would like to thank everyone that participated in the wars and have given us valuable feedback.
The Conquest War Pre-Season is our first step in trying to improve and add new ideas to create an even better Conquest War. Therefore, the changes made during the pre-season are not final. They can go through further iterations of changes and improvements following your feedback and results. This makes your opinions extremely valuable to us. We will be going through each and everyone of your suggestions during this time to go in the best direction possible.
During last week's Conquest War times many of the territories had their respective wars, big and small. However, with the introduction of the victory rewards, there were still some guilds that decided to plant forts to create a difficult scenario, while other territories were intentionally liberated. Following these results, we are continuing to monitor the situation and trying to come up with ways to modify the standard for the loser's and liberation rewards as quickly as possible. Especially the loser's and liberation rewards. They were designed to alleviate some of the burden for guilds that really tried their hardest in the war. We will do what we can do that the rewards are used for their original intent. Furthermore, we received a number of suggestions related to the ""Spirit of Battle"" system. ""Spirit of Battle"" is for the underdogs that can gain a burst of strength or to be used strategically to win the war. However, the stronger guilds were able to use the system by filling the gauge to their advantage. This will also be revised so that the system will work to match its original intent. We will do our best to handle all these issues with an update soon.
We will continue to strive to make Conquest War an honorable fight not just during this pre-season, but in the future as well. We hope all our Adventurers will continue to show their love and support for this content. Thank you.
