🌈Hello, We are EXTOCIUM.🌈

👉 🕔KST : 2025-4-23 2:00 PM ~ 5:00 PM

📢 Due to a delay in store approval, the maintenance time has been rescheduled to 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM KST.
Please plan your gameplay accordingly!

We will be conducting temporary server maintenance for game updates.
The maintenance is expected to last for approximately 3 hours, so please plan accordingly! 😎

📢This update includes a client patch!
Please make sure to download the new client from the store after the maintenance.

🙏 We apologize for the long wait, and thank you for your patience!

✅ Frost War Test Begins

🧊 The Frost War test will primarily focus on concurrent connection stability.

🧊 If a character enters the Frost War Waiting Room at level 48 or above, they will participate with their current setup (level, weapons, equipment, etc.).

🧊 If the character is below level 48, they will participate with a preset spec identical to AI, including random heroes and skills, and a slightly weaker weapon setup (+0 Awakening Darkness).

🎁 Frost War rewards will be distributed immediately after the match ends.
However, reward amounts may vary depending on your Arena League tier.

💡 In this test, each team will consist of 7 players (PCs), totaling 28 players, with up to 50 minions per team. If there are not enough players, AI-controlled PCs will be assigned to fill the teams.

• A new mini siege content, Frost War, will be tested!
• It will temporarily run at 08:00 PM, and the Mushroom Monster ~ Humbaba raids will start 20 minutes earlier (Humbaba by 30 minutes).
• You will enter with random heroes and random skills in equal specs for a compact siege experience.
• In the waiting room, you can purchase a one-time Frost Potion Package from NPC Rena.
• This item will be removed entirely after the battle, even if unused.
• You will be randomly assigned to one of four teams, and each team must destroy two gates on their path and the central ConquestStone.
• The team that deals the most damage to the ConquestStone will win.
• Defeating enemy players increases your team’s minion levels, making them stronger.
• Rewards are given based on damage contribution, and the losing team will still receive a participation reward.

✅ Arena Adjustments

• Points now accumulate from the start of the Arena match.
• The Red Ring is removed from the Showdown phase. Now, kills or higher points will determine the winner.
• Match time is reduced from 3 minutes → 2 minutes, and Showdown begins at 1:30.

✅ Ranking Board Overhaul

• The ranking board has moved to the Guide Menu and is now separated into PK, Arena, Market, Skill Deck, etc.
  (Some ranks are still under development.)
• Arena ranking remains unchanged,
  while PK ranking uses:
  [Final Score = Recent 7 Days × 0.6 + Previous 3 Weeks × 0.4]
• The game mode access menu has been reorganized for easier content access.

✅ Practice Room Moved to My Home

• The old practice room is now the Tavern, which serves as the content waiting room.
• A small PvP test space remains in the Tavern.
• Inside MyHome, you can warp to the Rooftop GYM to test skills in your private space.

✅ Achievements & Gilgamesh Rework In Progress

• Gilgamesh, Guidric, and the achievement system are being updated to reflect scenario progression.
• You will need to collect Gilgamesh’s story in stages to unlock the next area.
  (Progress already made will remain intact.)
• Stories will drop randomly while hunting, and the old “Discarded Letters” are no longer used.
• The full storyline is not included in this update. Only previously available content via letters will be temporarily applied.

✅ Optimization & Fixes

• Lag issues from previous texture format changes have been resolved.
• Fixed a bug where multiple revival windows overlapped and became unresponsive.
• AI for ranged monsters has been improved, making them more dynamic.

⚒ Additional field revamps and balance adjustments will be applied gradually.

🧙‍♂️May your journey through Asterica be smooth and full of magic!
EXTOCIUM is always with you!
