    Arcane Symbol/Authentic Symbol Improvements

    [​IMG]

    When hunting monsters in Arcane River area maps, there is a certain chance for them to drop tradeable ‘Selective Arcane Symbol Vouchers’. When a character uses one, they can choose an Arcane Symbol from an area which they have already completed the full quest line for.

    [​IMG]

    When hunting monsters in the Cernium area maps, there is a certain chance for them to drop tradeable ‘Authentic Symbol: Cernium Vouchers’. When a character who has completed the ‘Another Power, Authentic Force’ quest uses one, they can receive an ‘Authentic Symbol: Cernium’.

    [​IMG]

    When hunting monsters in the Hotel Arcs area maps, there is a certain chance for them to drop tradeable ‘Authentic Symbol: Hotel Arcs Vouchers’. When a character who has completed the ‘Another Power, Authentic Force’ quest uses one, they can receive an ‘Authentic Symbol: Hotel Arcs’.

    ※ In Reboot World, all vouchers will be dropped as untradeable items.

    Arcane Symbol enhancement costs have been adjusted.

    Developer Notes:

    In this update, we are planning to change the Boss Accessory set, Pitched Boss set, Arcane Symbols, and Authentic Symbols to be tradeable, and reduce the overall enhancement costs of Symbols.

    These changes were made with the intention of improving the overall game quality, and to clearly distinguish the difference in experience between Reboot World/regular worlds.

    The above items were planned to be added along with other improvements in the summer update, but we thought that adding them even a little bit ahead of time would give players a better experience, so we decided to introduce the changes a month earlier.

    First, we changed the Boss Accessory and Pitched Boss sets to be tradeable so that there are new options when upgrading accessories in regular worlds, where you can do things like buy other players’ items or sell your own items and buy other ones. This will give players more flexibility and better step-by-step equipment growth.

    In addition, previously Symbol growth was possible only through physical time, but now we have added a new option to buy other players’ Symbols. As a result, in regular worlds, it is now possible to upgrade Symbols based on your playstyle, and since they have been added as drops from monsters, it also enhances the experience of acquiring valuable items through hunting.

    For the Symbol enhancement cost changes, we discounted the prices to alleviate the overall growth difficulty. In particular, we discounted the lower level sections by a larger amount so that in the process of step-by-step growth, there would be a more appropriate level of difficulty.

    Finally, in this test world, all characters that were created on the test server in April will be maintained for smoother testing, and the scissor limit will be added to all Boss Accessory and Pitched Boss set items that those characters have.

    Resolution Support System Improvements

    [​IMG]

    It has been improved so that when setting the resolution of the game in the Game Options, you can now choose between all resolutions that are supported by the environment running the client. However, it will only support up to 4K.

    It has been improved so that when in Window Mode, you can now adjust the resolution by dragging and dropping the window border with your mouse. This feature will also work on the login screen, Cash Shop, Maple Auction, and external chat window.


    Developer Notes:

    These changes are not complete yet but since they need a lot of testing in a variety of environments, we decided to add it to the test world early. Therefore, these changes are not planned to be implemented in the May official world update. We will add it to the official server when it is ready, after additional testing and feedback.

    Developer Notes:

    Continuing from the last update, we are planning to increase the amount of Rebirth Flames and their crafting materials dropped by boss monsters once again. This change is made with the intention of gradually lowering the difficulty of upgrading Additional Options through Flames, along with the overall increase in number of Rebirth Flame items given through events. In the future, we are planning more difficulty adjustments for Additional Options in the same manner.
