The following is an advance notice for revamp changes to the Elrianode Equipment System and PvP starting on July 31st.
1. PvP Balance Patch
With the July 31st update, there will be a PvP balance patch and addition of PvP-exclusive weapons.
The following are the changes planned for the PvP balance patch and PvP-exclusive weapons.
The win rate for players in a premade party for 2v2 PvP are slightly higher, and therefore adjustments will be made to the rating system such that players in a premade party will gain less rating upon winning and lose more upon losing.
HP adjustment will be changed to account for the higher gear strength of adventurers. Stat modifiers across ranks and modes will be equalized to standardize the experience of play. PvP-exclusive weapons will be similar to PvP-only armor. While equipped, players cannot enter dungeons. The PvP-weapon can be upgraded through PvP play.
The PvP 3v3 mode, the least played mode, will be removed and a balance patch will be implemented using the adventurers’ performance data in PvP.
Adjustments to top-performing characters will be made based on each character’s average rating, win rate at each rank, and win rate for each mode.
Adjustments based on adventurers’ feedback of unfair character abilities, weapon attributes, El Search Party Collection Synergy, commands, and evasion abilities will be made after we have collected enough data.
Changes and experiences after the PvP balance changes and implementation of the PvP-exclusive weapon will be closely monitored, and additional adjustments and balance patches will be made accordingly.
2. Elrianode Equipment System
The Elrianode equipment system can be progressed through the collection of El Tear fragments, but currently lasts a very short time in the initial progression process after reaching Lv. 99. Improvements to the system will be made with the July 31st maintenance to make the progression experience smoother.
With the change, Elrianode Equipment will no longer be differentiated by color, and fixed stats and set effects will be available. The Elrianode Color Change Ticket currently sold in the Item Mall will be removed with the July 31st maintenance.
Already-owned Elrianode Equipment and El Tear fragments will not be changed, and the El Tear Fragment assembly and Elrianode Color Change features can be used until the August 27th, 2025 Maintenance.
