Hello,
Below is a message from Producer Akihiko Matsui regarding the November version update.
---
Matsui here.
I’d like to inform you all about the content for the early November version update. For this update we will be adding new Adoulin missions and areas, new Naakuals, Monstrosity PvP, new special abilities, relic/mythic/empyrean weapon upgrades, and much more. I’ve made a table below outlining all of the things that will be implemented, so please take a look.
Following the November version update, we will also be having a version update in December. Once we’ve finalized the content for this update, I will be sure to let you all know what’s to come.
Also, this will be somewhat of a change in our version update plan, but after the December version update we’ve decided to hold updates in much shorter intervals than we’ve had up until now. Originally we were having version updates every three months, but it was taking too long to address all of the feedback we were receiving. With that said, we will be increasing the frequency of version updates so that we can quickly address your feedback. We plan to hold version updates in one month intervals.
We’ve been making you all wait quite some time for the implementation of the new special abilities, but including geomancer and rune fencer’s abilities we will be implementing them for all 22 jobs in the November version update. I’d like to make a comment on this separately as we’ve been receiving a lot of feedback about this. Currently the development team is making their final checks, so please hang in there just a little while longer.
Next, the higher tier versions of seal battlefields will be implemented in November as scheduled; however, unfortunately we will be pushing the higher tier mission battlefields back to December. The reason for this is that there will be a massive amount of items that are implemented in the November version update, and we had to give consideration for the work and checks for all of them.
I realize that everyone was really looking forward to this content, and I’m deeply sorry about this, but please give us a bit more time so that we can make this content something really great.
In the event major issues arise from checks and such, there is a possibility that we push the timing of the November version update back, and we appreciate your understanding.
Thank you for your continued support and please look forward to the version update!
