<h2>Rate Changes</h2>
We've started to review player feedback and monitor server behavior in the last month. The staff team and I have been working through the numbers on changes to the rates we have now. These changes will impact players who mostly play alone.
Playing with others will be the new standard to achieving higher level gear and earning the sets that you want.
We're not just talking about playing Survival over and over again to grind out your elements. With these changes, it might be worth it to wait for a great Teamplay match, or group up in a 4 player quest team and run the Red Dragon. Mission might be a viable source of income for those who need a strong team to conquer the higher levels.
Here is the breakdown for all the rate changes:
<ul>
<li>Big Match (purple) rooms' rates have been increased by 30%.</li>
<li>Mission mode rooms' rates have been increased by 20%.</li>
<li>Quest mode rooms' rates have been increased by 20%.</li>
<li>PVP Team type rooms' rates have been increased in the following:
<ul>
<li>115% increased rates for completing a room</li>
<li>20% increased rates per kill</li>
<li>40% increased based rates for game</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Keep reading on, the next section covers rate changes for multiplayer rooms.
<hr />
<h2>Multiplayer Rates</h2>
To keep rates competitive like they were previously, we are increasing rates and scaling for multiplayer rooms. Notice how rate increases gradually get bigger as the room size increases.
<ul>
<li>3 Players: 10% Increase in Rates</li>
<li>4 Players: 40% Increase in Rates</li>
<li>5 Players: 50% Increase in Rates</li>
<li>6 Players: 65% Increase in Rates</li>
<li>7 Players: 85% Increase in Rates</li>
<li>8 Players: 125% Increase in Rates</li>
</ul>
We hope these changes assist in promoting more multi-player rooms. Please also note, all changes are subject to some minor tuning after the patch hits. This patch data will carry into our upcoming 2.0 update.
<hr />
<h2>Registration Changes</h2>
New players may notice that upon registering, their characters are not set to level 1. New players now start at level 13, therefore unlocking the Hero channel instantly. Players will be able to choose whether they would like to level in Hero or in Beginner, depending on their skill.
Players also now start with 100,000 code to purchase their items.
<hr />
<h2>Trade & Gift Changes</h2>
As with changing the initial level for new players, we've also changed the levels for Trading and Gifting. To trade and gift, a player will be required to be verified and Level 21 or above (Moon 1).
<hr />
<h2>Hot Time Changes</h2>
With the rate changes, we want to test player feedback without Hot Time available as frequently as it was before. We hope to start scheduling Hot Time events instead of running them as "flash events", this is to make the event more valuable. Everyone can also expect scheduled Hot Times to be longer.
Instead, for flash events, I will be creating "per game-type rate increases". Let's break this down into an example.
A flash event may start where Quest rates will be increased by 2x for 1 hour instead of the usual Hot Time flash event. This could be for Quest, Free-For-All PVP matches (Dodge included), Team PVP Matches (Hero, Teamplay, Symbol, etc.)
This is to get the community excited about other gamemodes that are infrequently played, but require different team mechanics and solo mechanics. We hope you attain U L T R A - I N S T I N C T and exceed to V-VIP.
