Patch Notes - 21st February 2018

Posted: 21 Feb 2018 06:32 AM PST



Greetings Adventurers,

A new PvP experience is waiting for those who enjoy a good brawl between fellow Adventurers, the Arsha Server! The game mechanics on Arsha are slightly modified, notably increased defence stats and mechanics to enable fairer, less one sided fights.
This week's patch brings also bug fixes, balance improvements and added functionalities.


Event & System

Content:
  • A PVP-specific Arsha Server has been added.
    • Red Battlefield is accessible in Arsha Server and the rewards will be same as other servers.
    • A specialized PVP balance will be applied in Arsha Server in comparison to the other regular servers.
      • All Characters' PVP DP will be raised
      • Pressing Shift while 'down' will activate guard stance while still lying down and reduce the damage you are taking (Guard Gauge -50%, Damage Reduction +80%)
      • Characters will be immune from all debuffs for a certain amount of time if affected more than three times from Bound, Floating, Stun, and Grapple.
      • The damage calculations are different from that of normal servers and as a result, the buff "Damage Against Humans" may be less effective.
      • All monsters with the exceptions of field and world bosses and the Desert Merchant Caravan of Valencia will still be present.
      • PvP between Characters (including Forced PvP) will be free from all penalties. However, if a character with an evil Karma rating enters the new server, the usual negative Karma penalties will still be experienced.
