Weekly Question and Answer – September 30th, 2016

  Q1. Limiting guilds to 35 members feels a little restrictive. Would you consider raising the maximum number of members allowed in a guild? We are in the process of preparing an update patch that will increase the current maximum guild level of 15. We believe you’ll be glad to hear that our plans for this patch also include raising the current maximum number of members allowed in a guild. You can keep an eye on our patch notes for any future updates.   Q2. Do you have plans to develop any features to change the appearance of weapons or attack effects? We’re currently working on the development of a unique design item intended to be used with the Alchemist’s Briquetting skill. We have yet to decide how this item would be obtained in-game, but we expect it to be used to change the appearance of other items, including weapons.   Q3. The first fan art event was a great idea to get the community involved and participating. Any chances of a part two?  We were honestly touched by the positive reception our first Fan Art Fest event had in the community and would like to sincerely thank all the participants and winners once again for their wonderful contributions. You may have seen in our News page already that we have a new fan art event happening until October 18, this time with a Halloween theme. Those interested should make sure to click the link to the announcement here and read the submission details for more information.   Q4. When are you fixing the ranking bug in Regional Guild Battles and Team Battle League? We are aware that the rankings in Regional Guild Battles and Team Battle League aren’t always displaying correctly and we apologize for the misunderstandings this bug may be causing. We want you to know that we are working on tests to fix this issue and hope to update you with a more stabilized version of the rankings as soon as possible.   Q5. Some skills seem to have an effect on things other than enemies or monsters. Is this intended? Certain skills, like the Peltasta’s Swash Buckling, the Chronomancer’s Haste, etc. do interact with and apply to other objects in the game besides enemies and monsters. This feature is in fact intentional; we mostly designed the skills this way so that they could be used to interfere with other players’ AoE debuffs in PvP and GvG play, for example.

New: Irredian Shelter, Hangout Raids and More!

We hope you enjoy reading this post as much as we did preparing it!         NEW CONTENT     1. Guild Hangout Raid     1-1. Overview   The Guild Hangout Raid is, just as the name suggests, a new raid content that can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own Guild Hangout. Players can now summon bosses in their Guild Hangout and join forces to defeat them.     1-2. Background   The refugees of the Kingdom have been suffering greatly at the hands of the monsters that entered our world through the many dimensional cracks that appeared following Medzio Diena. Sage Envoys have been deployed all across the Kingdom in order to seal the cracks but they are in need of help. The Kingdom has decided that the Sage Envoys devise a way to relocate the dimensional cracks to various Guild Hangouts present within the Kingdom to have the guilds help in dealing with the invasion of monsters. Guilds can now participate in private boss raids through the Sage Envoys located in their Hangout to defeat the invading monsters for bounty.     1-3. How to Play   Talk to the Sage Envoy NPC in your Guild Hangout to start the raid.     1-4. Rewards   Rewards can be obtained from the Sage Envoy NPC after the raid time is reset every Monday at 6:00 AM server time.

Overview   Irredian Shelter is a new high level Hunting Grounds populated by level 390 monsters and two level 400 boss monsters.     2-2. Background   The three rulers of old Nicopolis ran the city with an iron fist as their influence grew. Archmage Irredian had created a shelter for the citizens of Nicopolis to take refuge in. Preparations for siege and various experiments to create a magical barricade that blocks off Nicopolis from the rest of the Kingdom took place at the shelter.     2-3. How to Play   The new Hunting Grounds is populated by powerful level 390 monsters. Hunting down these monsters unlocks a portal to new areas that are more densely populated by powerful monsters or even a solo raid with a special boss monster.     2-4. Rewards   New necklace items have been added as reward. New seals are also introduced as a part of an obtainable reward.       Rewards and Convenience Updates     Along with the two new features introduced this week, we will also be providing revisions for rewards and introducing convenience updates with the game’s next major update.

The Lore You Know: Zealot

February is the month of love, so why not shine a light on our more fanatical of Goddess-lovers, the Zealots.    For those of you who are not as familiar with this Cleric-tree class, our Zealots do not call upon the power of a specific Goddess but instead sacrifice their life energy and similar forces to invoke a different type of power to use in battle. There are also rumors that they tortured and assassinated demons during their search for the missing Goddesses. But in regards to this, how does our MMORPG version of the Zealots differ from that of history?  First, let’s break down the etymology of the word "zealot". Zealot comes from the Greek word, zelotes, which means, “one who is a zealous follower.” Zealot is also the common translation of the Hebrew word, kanna’im, which means “one who is zealous on behalf of God.” In this historical context, this term was used to characterize members of a 1st century Jewish sect who fought against the Roman rule in Palestine. The more extreme members of this group participated in acts of terrorism and assassination in order to fight against the pagan Romans. When discussing this sect, the word zealot is usually capitalized.  The Zealots were adamantly opposed to the pagan Romans that ruled over them. And their views were so extreme that they also opposed any idea of peace between the two political bodies. As Zealots believed they were the defenders and true devotees of the law of God, some Zealots even carried daggers beneath their cloaks to stab anyone they believed were committing a sacrilegious act or who were being too friendly to Rome.  A lot of our knowledge about the Zealots during the 1st century comes from the historian and scholar Josephus (37-100AD) who wrote influential works on Jewish history and the political climate of the time. However, Josephus labeled the Zealots as dangerous fanatics and pointed them out as a possible reason why the Romans destroyed the city of Jerusalem.  With all of this in mind, it is also important to state that although Jewish Zealots are seemingly the more popular mention, there are zealots in other areas of history as well. The Zealots seen in TOS are not a reflection of the Zealots from the 1st century but more of an interpretation of the word’s core definition “one who is a zealous follower.”  Our Zealots express themselves through various skills that reflect the actions of a zealous follower. Skills that involve blind fate, fanaticism, and immolation. Therefore, as you search for the Revelations of the Goddess, have you also given thought to devoting yourself as their follower and becoming a Zealot yourself?   References  Poole, G. 2017.
