📢 Upcoming PK & PvE Changes (Before North America Launch)

To create a more dynamic PK system, we are implementing changes inspired by the original whitepaper concept, similar to games like Albion Online. Here are some upcoming adjustments:

• PK statistics & tracking:
  • A new “Statistics” page will be added to provide insights into popular skill decks, PK rankings, and risk/reward information for each field.
• Enhanced NPC AI:
  • Enemies will be more challenging, with improved AI to increase tension, but will provide better rewards.
  • Shorter play sessions with increased risk/reward intensity.
• Gradual PK Exposure:
  • Players will gradually experience PK zones from Map 3 onward.
• Large-Scale PvP from Early Game:
  • The new “Frost War” mode will introduce large-scale PvP battles early in the game.
