[07/10/2024] Red Zone balance and some changes

  • balancepatch.webp




    Hello community,


    We have been realizing how important crystals are becoming in PvP and how expensive it can be to have all the crystals, being these the current meta of the game to be able to counter X things. We want to make it easier to obtain these crystals so that there is more competition between players, more diversity and mix of builds.


    Regarding the black zone, we want to give it a twist. We have focused on making it a map without time limitations, where a player will be able to farm good gold if he kills mobs, being more than a normal PvE instance but less than a Hell Instance.


    Items will once again have NPC gold, where you won't depend on getting a minimum amount to get a minimum amount of gold and battle medals. Still, the boxes will be kept, where the player will be able to exchange Corrupted Nucleus for boxes that will give battle medals.


    We want all players to enter the map without fear and start farming, eliminating ‘stealing’ from the player. So now when you are farming on the map and an enemy player kills you, you will lose 35% of your Corrupted Nucleus and the enemy player will get directly 35% of the amount of items the enemy player had.

    Ex: Player X has 1.000 items, Player Y kills you getting 350 items, while player X will kill the 1000 items in the inventory.


    We hope that with these changes the map will have a higher activity and will encourage both, gambling and killing.
