Updated Release Plan
[p]We’ve been reviewing player feedback and collaborating heavily with Smilegate RPG to customize the release plan and find the solution that best meets the needs of the Western Playerbase. We investigated several release plans but ultimately decided on the raid rollout listed below. You can dive into the final version of the plan, including dates and commentary on our reasoning for selecting this release plan.[/p]Major November Update - November 19
[p]Kazeros Raid: Act 4 and Kazeros Raid Denouement: Final Day will be released together as part of the major November Update on November 19. We were initially hesitant to release both raids on the same day as it could be overwhelming for players, but when looking through various scenarios, we think this will best meet the needs of our diverse playerbase for the following reasons:[/p]- [p]For the top raiders, this will grant a practice window to level the playing field against players who have been practicing in other regions.[/p][/*]
- [p]For hardcore players, this will be a lot of content, especially when talking about multiple characters, but should prove to be an exciting update as players progress through one battle after another. If Hard or Normal mode for Denouement proves to be too much for the first week, there will be second week to clear before the first round of Frontier nerfs.[/p][/*]
- [p]For less hardcore players, where clearing as fast as possible is not a top priority and who enjoy the assistance of the Frontier System, this will allow a natural progression into the Frontier System in Denouement if the first few weeks after the update are spent learning Act 4. While normally we’d want to ensure that everyone is able to experience the original form of the fight before the Frontier system, Kazeros Raid Denouement will have a difficult version preserved for the foreseeable future with The First Mode allowing players to have a challenging experience on demand, even if they miss it in the first few weeks.[/p][/*]
