MAJOR UPDATES - Artifact Inventory Preset
You can now create presets be selecting the "Edit Preset" button in the Artifact Inventory. Then you can select the "Equip" button of a preset to equip and manage your artifacts. Especially since the Artifact Inventory is shared within your Family, this function makes it convenient for you to manage artifacts across multiple characters. We hope you will enjoy and take advantage of the new Artifact Present function.
- You can equip and manage designated artifacts using the preset function.
- Select the "Edit Preset" button in the Artifact Inventory to save an artifact preset.
- You can save up to 10 presets.
- You can change the names of the presets when you edit a preset.
- You can see what kind of lightstone combination effect you will get with the artifacts via the "View Effects" button.
- You can equip the preset artifacts by selecting the "Equip" button.
※ When you equip artifacts in a preset, then the artifacts you already had equipped will automatically be moved to your Artifact Inventory.
※ You must have at least 2 slots available in your Inventory to equip artifact presets.
- The icon of artifacts that are not currently in your Artifact Inventory will be marked red.
● Improved the game pad mode UI to be able to use the Artifact Inventory and artifact presets.
MAJOR UPDATES - World Boss Improvements
We've reduced the damage of certain difficult-to-avoid and one-hit-kill attacks (regardless of being at appropriate DP levels), and slightly increased the damage of certain attacks that were previously negligible to avoid. We also worked on improving the visibility of the range and patterns of boss attacks so that Adventurers would be able to better react to and avoid them.
We also drastically reduced the amount of time Bloodstorm Nouver spends in flight and made Thundercloud Kutum's debuff to now be purified by 1 Adventurer instead of the previous 3, thus rewarding our Adventurers for properly managing these boss mechanics. Regarding boss rewards, we are still undergoing much discussion as we look over our data. We ask that you also share your feedback and opinions with us as well.
