Hello, Admirals!
Exciting Spring Season is finally here, and Olivia is back to share some news on the upcoming updates!
In our last Development Note, we shared the news on the expansion of the maximum HQ Level.
For this Development Note, we would like to inform our Admirals about the new updates as well as various improvements that many of you have been waiting for.
Let’s take a look at what will change in the upcoming update!
■ Improved Gerald R. Ford Aircraft Carrier
Since the update of the 'Gerald R. Ford' Aircraft Carrier, several Admirals have submitted very valuable feedback.
A great deal of feedback was based on the number of deployable Jets from the Gerald R. Ford Aircraft Carrier. And we have taken the time to actively discuss the matter along with other plans to make the Gerald R. Ford stand out as the top-level Aircraft Carrier.
- Gerald R. Ford’s basic ability, [Counter Rate, Movement Point Charging Speed, Ships for Aircraft Carrier Defense], will be increased.
- You can acquire the [Increases number of deployable Jets] special ability when your Gerald R. Ford reaches Level 2.
- New Carrier Effects will be added to the [Gerald R. Ford] and the [Elizabeth] Aircraft Carriers to make the [Gerald R. Ford] more powerful.
■ Removal of Equipment Destruction System!
Among all the development news delivered today, this is the news that many Admirals will be the most excited to see.
There has been a lot of feedback regarding improvement of the Equipment Destruction System, a feature that destroys Equipment upon upgrade fail.
As this was a concern that our Admirals voiced with a great deal of significance, our teams discussed the topic in-depth and at-length. That said, we have decided to remove the Equipment Destruction System.
With the removal of the Equipment Destruction System, if an Equipment upgrade attempt fails, the upgrade value will reset instead of the item being destroyed outright.
In addition to the removal of the Equipment Destruction System, we are preparing to change some of the related items such as the Equipment Destruction Prevention Ticket, Advanced Equipment Destruction Prevention Ticket and Equipment Destruction Protection Piece. We are preparing an in-game exchange method that grants an exchange into items such as the Equipment Reset Prevention Ticket and Equipment Reset Prevention Piece (new) at a certain rate.
As this exchange feature is still in discussion, we will inform you about the details via the upcoming patch notes. So please keep an eye out for the update!
■ Added Special Effect Lock function when reforging Equipment!
During an Equipment Reforge, all Special Effects listed would change every time you attempt a Reforge. And because of that, it was always hard to settle on which Special Effects to keep.
We understand that this all-or-nothing feature doesn’t offer the feature experience that we’d like offer. That said, we will be adding the ability to select and lock the Special Effects you would like to keep. This will allow you to choose the desired Effect and keep it safe while you run another Reforge attempt on the rest of the Equipment features.
Using this new Reforge Special Effects Lock feature will require a certain amount of [Mod Stabilizer] items. The more Effects you choose to lock, the more [Mod Stabilizer] items will be consumed.
Hopefully, this feature empowers you to imbue your favorite Equipment with the effects you’re looking for, bringing about a more personalized strategy!
■ Added New difficulty level of Armada Strike Group and Armada Blitz Defense
The next massive announcement we have for you is…. higher difficulty Levels for both the Armada Strike Group and Armada Blitz Defense will be added.
The Armada Strike Group Level will now include Lv.77 and Lv.88. These two difficulty Levels will give [Uranium Ores] and [Energy Core Reactor] as the reward when defeated.
Along with the newly added difficulty Levels of the Armada Strike Group, the Armada Blitz Defense will also have new difficulty Levels added. These two newly added Levels for the Armada Blitz Defense can be accessed once completing the ‘Alliance: Blitz Defense Difficulty’ Alliance Research. After the Alliance Research is complete, the Lv. 60 and Lv. 70 Armada Blitz Defense will be unlocked. The new difficulty Level will give more XP and various rewards such as the possibility of attaining [Gerald R. Ford Blueprint] upon defeating Lv.70.
Along with the newly added difficulty Levels, a Research field known as “Alliance: Blitz Defense Member II” will be added in the Alliance Research tab. Once this Alliance Research reaches Level 5, the number of Alliance members that can join the Armada Blitz Defense will increase by 5. So don’t forget to complete the research and increase participation attack roster!
What are you waiting for? Rally up your fellow Alliance Admirals and attack!
We wish you all the best of luck!
■ Other Updates
That isn’t all! There are a few more things we’d like to share with you!
- The Base buff items will now be able to be converted to add more utility and convenience. Try converting the base buff items that have been sitting in your inventory.
- The Movement Boost pop-up screen will be improved so that the pop-up screen covers less of the whole screen and does not close when other areas are tabbed.
- The number of Wildcard Selection participants will be increased to allow more players to participate in the Server Invasion so you can better enjoy the Server Invasion with more Admirals.
- The production quantity of AFVs and Missiles will be improved. Build more AFVs and Missiles at the Armory and Missile Factory!
- The Auto-use function of Resource items will be added when repairing Aircraft Carriers allowing more convenient use of the Aircraft Carriers.
We sincerely hope that our Admirals are as excited about this news update as we are!
We will always do our best to hear our players, the feedback you provide, and develop content that our players will enjoy!
Make sure to stay tuned for more! We’ll do our best to share more details about the updates as soon as possible.
