• New theme to Conquest War
  • We want to inform you that the 'Necromancer's Mansion' announced in the 2022 Second Half Roadmap has been postponed indefinitely.

We sincerely apologize to those who have been looking forward to the new theme addition. As we were preparing for the 3rd quarter Q&A (to be released shortly), we had an extensive internal discussion within the development team regarding issues we see with guild and raid-related content. As a result of our discussion, we have decided that we need to find a fundamental solution to fix the issues related to the content. 

In order to make this improvement prior to the new theme update, we have decided to postpone the addition of the new theme related to Necromancer Noxia's mansion.

Details on the content update we aim to apply will be outlined below under 'Guild Contents and Personal Raid' section.
 

• Guild Contents and Personal Raid
  • Currently the Boss Raid battle realized in Guardian Tales can mainly be played as a guild content.

As guild content is geared toward groups rather than individuals, it is difficult to provide content that caters to the level of each and every Guardian.

Therefore, we felt that the need for new Guardians to have a space to try battles of a little higher difficulty without feeling like a burden to guild members may be needed, as well as a space for the expert Guardians with higher stats to prove their strengths.

To this end, we are preparing to reduce the duration of Guild Raids to reduce fatigue and to add personal raid content.
 

• Guild Content Duration reduced
  • We are looking to reduce the 14-day duration down to 7 days, and this will also change the rewards offered via raids.
  • This will apply to both Guild Raids and Guild Conquest War contents
     
• Personal Raids
  • You will be able to use at max 3 parties to defeat one boss.
  • This will be a solo-play content; no guild or multiplayer factor involved.
  • There will be various difficulties with new attack patterns added to the higher difficulty modes.
  • The highest difficulty mode will have personal rankings added. 
     
• Friends addition
  • A new function to add friends when you have a custom room created in CO-OP and/or Friendly Match.
  • You can check your friend's profile, connection status, last connection, and so on.
     

This concludes the updates made regarding the content underway and development direction regarding the second half of 2022.
