ANNOUNCEMENT
[NA] Territory Wars Second Beta Test
Greetings, Saviors! After the first testing period in April, we’re getting ready to start another round of official Territory Wars beta tests in [NA] Klaipeda. The process will be similar to the first week of testing, with 6 days of GTW sessions and multiple rewards for participation and feedback. If you’re interested in joining, make sure to read the entire announcement for all the gameplay changes and feedback/reward details. Testing Schedule This Territory Wars test is scheduled to take place from May 23 to May 28, 2018 (6 days). Like the last tests, the sessions will only be available in [NA] Klaipeda , and they will open every day from EDT 22:00 to 23:00. GTW Gameplay Changes The following are changes that were made to the Territory Wars system after the first round of tests. Anything not mentioned here should behave in the same way as in the previous testing period. If you need a refresher on the basics of GTW, click here to watch our video released in April. Spot Areas - Galeed Plateau and Inner Wall District 8 will be replaced by Aqueduct Bridge Area and Baron Allerno. Safe Zone We created a Safe Zone for the first version of GTW in order to prevent players from being attacked right after entering the Spot Area, but we found two problems with it during the first tests: 1) Skills could be used inside the Safe Zone to block other players. 2) Skills could be used inside the Safe Zone to attack players as soon as they step out of it. Because of these issues, we have removed the Safe Zone and replaced it with a system where, upon entering a Spot Area, your character will now gain momentary invincibility. The invincibility buff will disappear after 5 seconds if you move, or if you use an attack or skill. If your character remains motionless after entering the Spot Area, the buff continues to stay active. Keep in mind, however, that you will not be able to use Dispeller or Omamori items while the invincibility buff is enabled. Amplifiers - Destroying an Amplifier will now grant your guild a bonus of +5 points for every point obtained inside the Spot (10 stacks maximum). - Destroying an Amplifier will also grant members of your guild +5 movement speed and a 30% damage increase in PvP combat (does not stack). - The Amplifier buffs remain active until a different guild seizes the Spot. - Amplifiers will now respawn not only when a different guild seizes the Spot, but also 3 minutes after being destroyed. Boss Monsters During the last period of tests, one problem stood out to us regarding boss monsters: the boss in Inner Wall District 8 would occasionally enter the Safe Zone near the entrance to Steel Heights, becoming impossible to attack. To address issues like this, we have improved boss monster AI and adjusted the buff rewards as follows: - Defeating a boss monster will now not only reduce damage taken by 30%, but also give you immunity to knockdown and knockback. - Boss monsters will now appear in intervals of 10 minutes. Tree Root Crystals Tree Root Crystals will now appear in different color variations all over the Spot Area. Each color of Crystal grants you a specific type of buff when destroyed. Speed Crystal - Drastically increases your movement speed. - Duration 5 seconds. Regeneration Crystal - Immediately restores 30% of your HP and SP, then 500 of each every second. - Duration 30 seconds. Attack Crystal - Increases the damage you deal and the damage you receive by 50% each. - Duration 30 seconds. Defense Crystal - Reduces the damage you receive and the damage you deal by 50% each. - Duration 30 seconds. - Tree Root Crystal buffs will not stack with each other. - Each buff is automatically canceled when you abandon the Spot Area map. - The new Tree Root Crystals will generate randomly every 120 seconds. Respawn Location If you become incapable of combat inside the Spot Area map, you can now choose to respawn not just in the nearest city, but also in your Guild Tower (if your guild has one) or a player’s Base Camp (if a Squire in your party has one installed). Also, respawning in your nearest city will now automatically transport your character to the Goddess Statue for convenience. Points UI - The guild currently seizing the Spot will no longer display in the points UI. - Guilds with 0 points will also not display in the UI. - Guilds with the same number of points (if 1 point or above) will display in order starting from the guild who last acquired or lost points. Results UI - Corrected the graphics to display in English as intended. Templars - Templar characters can now use the Warp To Guild Member skill to move inside the Spot Area as well. Participation Rewards 1) Guilds that have participated at least once in a Territory Wars session during the test period: - [Event] Talt x300 (sent to Guild Storage) 2) Individual players that have participated at least once in a Territory Wars session during the test period: - Instanced Dungeon Multiply Token (14 Days) x4 - Goddess Sculpture (14 Days) x5 - Jumbo Dumpling (14 Days) x10 3) Guilds who have their first victory in the Territory Wars during the test period: - Recipe - Raid Portal Stone x10 (untradable, must be retrieved by a guild member at the Event Notice Board before the next Territory Wars session) 4) Daily attendance reward for individual players (received every day that you participate in at least one Territory Wars session): - Emergency Repair Kit x10 (untradable) 5) Five-day attendance reward for individual players (received after you participate in at least one session per day for five days): - Territory Wars Tester Armband (30 Days) x1 - Emergency Repair Kit x30 (untradable) These rewards will be sent during the testing period as soon as the requirements for the corresponding reward are met, via your Message Box (except for guild rewards).

Upcoming Token Benefit Changes
Greetings, Saviors. We are preparing to introduce a few changes to Token benefits in approximately one month from the date of this announcement along with our next content update (Velcoffer), and we would like to notify you in advance of the benefits that will be revised. 1) Additions - EXP gain bonus increased from 20% to 50%. - New premium gestures added. 2) Changes - Entry count and reward bonus applied to everyone (Token user or not). We will be increasing instanced dungeon, mission and Earth Tower entries; increasing Saalus mission rewards; and reducing the amount of Raid Portal Stones required for everyone, regardless of Token use. For this reason, related Token benefits will no longer apply. Q. What happens to unused Tokens? All Tokens used after the changes will apply with the new benefits, regardless of when they were obtained. Q. What happens to Tokens already in use? Tokens that are already being used will automatically switch to the new benefits on the day that the changes are applied.

First Territory Wars Beta Test Complete
Greetings, Saviors! Today was the last session of our one-week Guild Territory Wars beta test period in [NA] Klaipeda. We are immensely grateful to everyone who participated in the test and took the time to contribute with valuable feedback through the GTW survey and our forums. We managed to gather a very good amount of data on the new content, which we will be using to further tweak and improve its playability. Now that the test period is over, there are few things we would like to make known regarding the future of GTW in [NA] Klaipeda. Rewards 1) As the official test period has ended, [NA] Klaipeda guilds will no longer be eligible for Territory Wars participation rewards. 2) Survey and forums feedback rewards will be sent to the selected teams during the scheduled maintenance of (Wednesday) May 2, 2018. Remember that only feedback received until April 24, 2018 will be considered for these rewards. Unofficial System Tests Although the official open test period has ended, we will continue performing additional test sessions in [NA] Klaipeda to correct map entry/point count errors and other problems that occurred during the test period, and further assess GTW behavior in the server’s live setting. These tests, however, are not intended for general participation. 1) Although guild members may still be allowed to enter the Spot Areas during the additional tests, entering a session will not make you eligible for additional rewards. 2) The additional tests may not take place at a regular schedule or in a regular duration. The sessions may be interrupted, shortened or extended according to the needs of the test. 3) We cannot guarantee regular performance or stability in any of the additional test sessions. 4) You may see occasional system messages related to Guild Territory Wars in [NA] Klaipeda. Thank you again to all the guilds who joined us in the GTW tests so far. We will use the data collected during this test to improve optimization and playability issues and prepare for a new round of tests according to how the development of the Territory Wars progresses. Stay tuned for more news!
