Guilds

New Feature: Guild Game Multiplier

This feature introduces a global Guild Point rate on a per guild basis. This rate can be increased by playing PVP or PVE games throughout the week. This was introduced to promote more gameplay throughout the week instead of at the end of the week.

• The GGM rate applies to all Guild Points earned
• GGM resets every week back to 0.2x
• GGM can be increased up to 1.5x of the last day's GGM
  • For example: On Sunday, SuperGuild's GGM was 0.2. The maximum increase the GGM can receive is up to 0.3 (0.2 x 1.5)
  • On Monday, SuperGuild's GGM is 0.3. The maximum they can increase it to for Monday would be 0.45 (0.3 * 1.5)
• Each PVP game increased the GGM by 0.0022x
• Each PVE game increases the GGM by 0.0007x
• The @guild mult command allows you to check information about your guild's GGM stats
  • The current Guild Game Multiplier (GGM) can be checked using the @guild mult command.
  • The maximum GGM per day (today & tomorrow) can also be checked using the @guild mult command.

Guild Point Changes

• DMS Completion (GP): 200,000 -> 80,000
• The guild decay rate has increased from 0.5% per hour to 0.8% per hour.

Guild Games per Hour

• Reduced the amount of hourly games (40 -> 30) to earn hourly trophies

Guild Rewards

We added new prizes to the weekly Guild War. These are pooled prizes, so the amount will be divided by the amount of guild members in your guild (with a minimum division of 12).

• 1st Place, Random Elements (Pooled Prize): 5,000,000 Random Elements
• 2nd Place, Random Elements (Pooled Prize): 3,000,000 Random Elements
• 3rd Place - 10th Place, Random Elements (Pooled Prize): 1,000,000 Random Elements

Patch v331.2

Status

This patch is live.

2nd Skill Activation: Balancing (Revised)

• We have added Card Type & Game Type as well as Element Type & Game Type specific scalar values to further increase our ability to balance out cards for PVP and PVE modes.

Scaling Math

The 2nd Skill % will be changed based on the 6 factors listed:

• Game Mode type
• Card type
• Element type
• Card Type & PVP/PVE Type
• Element & PVP/PVE Type
• Flat rate bonuses from bonus cards (SS'E', Premium Event).

Formula

The calculation for what your 2nd Skill % would be for a certain mode would be as follows:

• ((Game Mode & Element Specific Rate x Game Mode Rate x Card Type Specific Rate x Game Mode Rate x Card Type Rate x Element Type Rate) x Card's 2nd Skill %) + Flat Rate Bonus

Example

For example, if you were playing Teamplay Mode with a Fire Axe that is 40% (which prior to this patch was 26%) 2nd Skill % and a Fire SS'E':

• Tournament Mode Multiplier: 0.63x (0.66x is our baseline since all card 2nd Skill %'s will have been increased by 1.5x)
• General Card Type (Axe) Multiplier: 1.0x
• General Element Type (Fire) Multiplier: 1.05
• Game Mode & Card Type (PVP Mode, Axe) Multiplier: 1.12
• Game Mode & Element Type (PVP Mode, Fire) Multiplier: 1.03
• SS'E' Flat Rate Bonus: +2%
• Following this formula: ((Game Mode & Element Specific Rate x Game Mode Rate x Card Type Specific Rate x Game Mode Rate x Card Type Rate x Element Type Rate) x Card's 2nd Skill %) + Flat Rate Bonus
  • ((0.63 x 1.0 x 1.05 x 1.12 x 1.03) x 40%) + 2%) = 30.52%, then we round it -> 31%

Scaling Values

The scaling values presented in this table are how 2nd Skill Activation percentages are calculated.

• General Scalar Value: Used in all game modes.
• PVP Scalar Value: Used in only PVP modes.
• PVE Scalar Value: Used in only PVE modes.

Scalar Type	General Scalar Value	PVP Scalar Value	PVE Scalar Value
PVE Modes (Quest, Mission)	0.8	N/A	N/A
PVP Team Modes (Teamplay)	0.67	N/A	N/A
PVP Free-For-All Modes (Survival)	0.67	N/A	N/A
PVP Ladder Type (Tournament, Fight Club)	0.63	N/A	N/A
Card Type: Sword	1.0	0.95	1.0
Card Type: Axe	1.0	1.12	1.1
Card Type: Bow	1.0	1.0	1.0
Card Type: Staff	1.0	1.0	1.0
Card Type: Boots	1.0	1.0	1.0

Patch v331.0

Status

This patch will be live October 16, 2022 at 5:00 PM

2nd Skill Activation Percent (Balancing)

In this patch, for the first time ever, we are making attempts to balance out 2nd Skill Activation Percent (abbreviated as 2nd Skill %). The balancing will be dependent on 4 factors: Game Mode type, Card type, Element type, and flat rate bonuses from bonus cards (SS'E', Premium Event).

Changes to Fusion

• All existing cards' 2nd Skill % will be increased by 1.5x.
  • For example, if you had a card at 40%, it will now be 60%.
• The new maximum for 2nd Skill % is 80%.

Changes to Level 10/11

• Representation of the Level 10 and 11 cards have changed.
  • Previously, a Level 10 card was a 'E' card with an '8' printed as it's level, and below 41% 2nd Skill %.
  • A level 11 card was the same as a Level 10, but with 41% 2nd Skill %.
• From this patch forward, these representations will be changed to:
  • Level 10: 'E' Card with a '7' printed as it's level
  • Level 11: 'E' Card with a '8' printed as it's level
    • We are now ignoring the 41% 2nd Skill % to identify Level 11.
• Level 11 Cards will always have a 5% chance to change to level 11 status for PVP/PVE games regardless of SS'E' ownership.

2nd Skill Balancing (Values & Math)
