ANUNCIOS OCT 13. 2022 UPDATES TO 2022 SECOND HALF ROADMAP 

Greetings Guardians!

It has already been 3 months since we released the 2022 second half roadmap and we wanted to update you on what is currently being prepared and what revisions have been made.
 

  • Please note the terminology of the content is a placeholder for now and details of the content under development may change as it nears actual update.
  • The dates (months) mentioned are for the Korean server and global release dates may differ. Be sure to check out official announcements and patch notes for details later on!

[Farm]

  • Expedition 2nd District: City of Shen
    • The second district based on the City of Shen will open.
       

We want to extend our apologies for the postponement of the Expedition update from October to November. The flooding that occurred back in our office in August did set us back, but restoration work was carried out quickly and everything is back to normal now!

However, this incident did unfortunately affect our content update schedule although we tried our best to stick to the aforementioned dates.

Due to this, the 2nd District for Expedition content previously announced to arrive in October has been postponed to November, and we will do our best in preparation for the update.


 
  • Death Match New Mode: Free-for-all fight 
    • You will win if you survive until the end.
    • Everyone but yourself is an enemy in this mode.
    • 6 players can engage in a fight and each will choose 3 Heroes to fight with.
    • If your hero dies, you can continue the fight with your remaining heroes.
    • If all 3 heroes in your party die, you will have failed to survive.
       
  • Hero Ascension
    • This is an evolution system to ascend your Rare heroes into Unique heroes.
    • Rare heroes that can be ascended will have the illustration and character design changed.
    • The rare heroes to become available for ascension first will be Red Hood Elvira and Aspiring Warrior Craig.
       
  • New Short Story
    • Red Hood Elvira's new Short Story will unfold.
       
  • 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.
