ANNOUNCEMENT
Odd Candy Bonus Redistributed
Greetings, Saviors. Following the recent measures taken to prevent the unfair use of the Odd Candy bonus distributed during this year’s Halloween events (read more about it here), we would like to announce that we have sent the messages containing the 2,000 Odd Candy bonus to eligible players who had yet to receive them. The bonus has been sent to players who participated in the Halloween event dungeon at least one time before November 16, 2017. The bonus message was sent only once per team, so players who had already opened their bonus message before they were put on hold (announcement here) will not be receiving the message again. To receive your 2,000 Odd Candy bonus, please check the Message Box at your lodge. Thank you.
[UPDATE] Odd Candy Bonus: Updated Measures
Greetings, Saviors. We would like to announce and clarify a few more details about the Odd Candy bonus that was put on hold earlier (announcement here). As you may know, we distributed a bonus of 2,000 Odd Candies to every player during the scheduled maintenance of November 14 as compensation for Halloween event-related issues. These Candies can be used as currency to purchase rewards in the ongoing Halloween events, and we received several reports by players concerned about inactive accounts being able to unfairly obtain and trade these event rewards by receiving the Candy bonus. Following this, we proceeded to put a hold on all lodge messages containing the Odd Candy bonus, in order to apply the changes necessary to minimize its unfair use. We have now placed appropriate restrictions on accounts found to have obtained and/or traded large amounts of the affected Halloween event items. The same measures will also be taken against any such accounts that may be discovered in the future. Most importantly, as of this date, only players who have participated at least one time in the Halloween event dungeon until today's temporary maintenance (from October 24 to November 16, 2017) will be eligible to receive the Odd Candy bonus. All other accounts, namely the aforementioned inactive accounts, or simply accounts that did not participate in the event until November 16, will NOT receive the message containing the 2,000 Odd Candies. Following these changes, we retrieved the excess Odd Candies and/or items obtained by using them from accounts - which doesn't follow new standard stated above - where the message containing the bonus had already been opened. According to the new standard, we will re-distribute the Candies tomorrow - 17th November. We will be back with another announcement after redistributing the blessed shards. Once again we would like to thank you for your patience and understanding during this process. We also thank all the players who took the time to report instances of unfair item use and voice their concerns on the event’s issues. Thank you.
[EDITED] Temporary Maintenance Notice - November 16, 2017
Greetings, Saviors! We will soon be carrying out a temporary maintenance on all servers. During this maintenance, we will prepare to redistribute the Odd Candy bonus and retrieving excess Odd Candies from accounts that do not fall under our new Halloween ’17 participation conditions. - An account that played Halloween dungeon at least once. The temporary maintenance is expected to take place during the following period: [EST] 16th November 10:00 ~ 11:00 [BRST] 16th November 13:00 ~ 14:00 [CET] 16th November 16:00 ~ 17:00 [SGT] 16th November 23:00 ~ 17th November 0:00 Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Odd Candy Bonus Temporarily On Hold
Greetings, Saviors. As mentioned in the ‘Halloween ’17: Final Week Changes’ announcement from November 13, during this week’s scheduled maintenance we distributed to every player a bonus of 2,000 Odd Candies as compensation for Halloween event issues. Due to further problems found in the distribution of this bonus, we have decided to temporarily put a hold on all messages sent containing the Odd Candy bonus until those problems can be solved. This means that you will not be able to retrieve the Odd Candies from the GM message in your lodge while the process is ongoing. Note that this measure does not affect Odd Candies that have already been retrieved from the message box. If you already received the bonus in your inventory, those Candies will not be removed. Thank you for your patience and understanding while the issues are being processed. We will make sure to notify you once they have been solved.
Halloween '17: Final Week Changes
Greetings Saviors, We would like to make an official announcement regarding the Halloween '17 events. Our goal was to create new, light-hearted and easily enjoyable PvP content. We then decided to try out this new content with the season of Halloween in mind and created Creepy Klaipeda. However, as the event progressed, it was clear that the Halloween Dungeon contained systematic issues and a lack of balance. Therefore, after taking into consideration our players’ thoughts, we worked to improve the dungeon during maintenance each week. After the scheduled maintenance on November 14, 2017, we will be moving into the fourth and final week of the Halloween Event Dungeon. Although not perfect, we do believe that, through these continuous enhancements, the Dungeon has improved since its first appearance. Yet, we understand that, because of the issues mentioned above, the Certified Trick-or-Treater ranking and prize system we had in place was not set in a level playing field. We have also paid close attention to the concerns raised by our players about this issue. Because of this, we have considered how to properly deal with the rewards in a way that would satisfy our players. We have decided that not handing out or changing the Certified Trick-or-Treater rank prizes would go against the promise we made in the initial event announcement and this would be unfair to our player base. However, since we wish to ensure that the rewards received in the fairest way, we have decided to change the event’s ranking system. Our solution is as follows: Instead of the previous “top 3 of teams with the most Odd Candies exchanged selected per server, per week” we will be selecting “the top 12 teams with the most Odd Candies exchanged during the 4 week period." as our Certified Trick-or-Treaters from all servers. Like this, players will be able to receive the Certified Trick-or-Treater rewards based on their total numbers. Yet, we understand that there are still issues that can be raised because of this. Therefore, for the last 4 weeks we have improved the Trick-or-Treat and Creepy Klaipeda Sweet Treats and Odd Candy rewards. 1. Simply participating and completing the Halloween Dungeon: Creepy Klaipeda, will now grant players 30 pieces of Odd Candy after exiting. 2. Sugar Treats received in the Halloween Dungeon will be multiplied by 3. This includes the additional 30 pieces of Sugar Treats mentioned before. Meaning players will receive the 30 Treats bonus plus 3 times the candy. For example: If you acquired 50 pieces of Sugar Treats in the dungeon. After exiting you will receive (50+30) x3 = 240 pieces of Odd Candy. 3. The Event NPC, instead of handing out only 30 pieces of Odd Candy, will randomly hand out between 50~100 pieces. Through these reward improvements, we believe that this will have a huge effect on the rankings at the end of the fourth week. We have also added improvements to the Halloween Dungeon: In the Dungeon, if you have less than 30 pieces of Sugar Treats, you will be protected from other players' attacks. This is for players who are not used to the “aggressive” nature of PvP but are still participating in order to acquire candy. Once you have more than 30 pieces of candy, you are now free to attack and be attacked by other players. For example: Once you obtain 31 pieces of Sugar Treats, you will be able to attack and be attacked. However, if your amount of treats is reduced to 25 due to an attack from another player, you will once again be in a neutral state - unable to attack or be attacked. And, as a way to apologize to our players for any conveniences caused we will be granting each player 2,000 pieces of Odd Candy. Last, but not least, we would also like to announce that we have a new system in place to prevent future "speed-hacking" cases. If there is any sign of hacking in Creepy Klaipeda, a message will be sent out in-game and the account kicked off the server. After this, the player's account will be investigated and proper action taken. We hope that, with these changes, you will be able to fully enjoy the Halloween Dungeon. What is most important for us, of course, is for our players to be able to enjoy the event. We would like to once again apologize to our players for any inconveniences this may have caused and we are preparing these various rewards for you to enjoy in the final week. Thank you.
