■ Valencian Siege War

Developer’ Comment:

In the existing Siege War the defending Guild had to fight against ambushes from the two other guilds on two fronts, leaving the defending guild with a lower chance to secure victory. To improve on this, we’ve added a new mechanic where the Guild that destroys the Holy Artifact will swap places with the defending guild, and the time it took for them to achieve this will be the new time limit.

The rule regarding protection of the Holy Artifact in order to occupy the fort applies to all participating Guilds.

In addition, we have added a new Siege War region, the Valencian Siege War. This will have different terrain types and require different strategies, to improve the overall Siege War experience. 

We are also working on new ideas for Node War. We have plans to close areas with generally low bids due to the distance between the Nodes, as well as adding Node War for Mediah, among other ideas.

We hope that these improvements will add to your enjoyment of the GvG aspects of the game, where you can work alongside your Guild mates. 

- Added the pre-season for the new Siege War, Valencian Siege War.

- Unified the previous Siege War locations, Goyen and Cartian, as Calpheon Siege War.

- To bid for Siege War you will need Nodes level 2 or higher.

- The updated Siege War offers a new type of gameplay involving swapping the Attacker/Defender.

ㆍThe guild who succeeds in defending against the Siege until the time ends will win.

ㆍ When the attacking Guild destroys the defending Guild's Holy Artifact, the Guild that destroyed the Artifact will become the defending Guild.
ㆍ Example:
1) The Siege war begins with Guild A as defender and Guilds B and C as attackers.
2) If Guild B destroys the Holy Artifact within 16 minutes, Guild B will become the new defending Guild and Guild A will take their place as an attacking Guild. Guild C will remain an attacking Guild.
3) If Guild B manages to protect the Holy Artifact for 16 minutes, they have succeeded in defending and will win the Siege war.

4) If Guild B's Holy Artifact was destroyed within 14 minutes by Guild C, their attacker/defender roles will be swapped, and the defense time limit will be reduced to 14 minutes.

ㆍ The time it took to destroy the Holy Artifact is set as the new time limit for the next defense round.
ㆍ Should the Artifact be destroyed in under 10 minutes, the time limit for the next round will be set to 10 minutes and it will be the last round. The guild that succeeds in this round will be final winner.

ㆍ If a Siege War continues until 9 PM (the time limit for Siege War) the Guild which is defending at that point will win the game.

ㆍ When the attacker/defender roles are swapped, they will be moved to their nodes. Any Siege Weapons that were in mid-summon will be cancelled and they can be summoned again. This does not apply to destroyed or dead weapons.

ㆍ Example: If you started the war with 5 Ogres, then 1 Ogre dies and you are summoning 1 Ogre when the swap happens, you will have 4 Ogres that can be used.

- Added a new function to the window displayed when your character dies in Siege War and Node War that allows you to select auto-combat upon resurrection.

- Added the option to the window displayed after dying in Node War that allows you to set your preference to immediate resurrection.

ㆍ If this setting is selected, your character will automatically resurrect when resurrection becomes available.

ㆍ If you've selected auto-combat, your character will automatically begin fighting after resurrection.

- Changed the bidding in Node War and Siege war, where the number of bidding guilds was displayed, to only display whether there are bidding Guilds or not.

- Improved the Siege War summoning UI to display the level of the weapon.

- Valencian Siege War does not have destructible stone Barricades or Bridges.

- Entering Siege War will be temporarily unavailable while attackers and defenders are being swapped.

- During the attacker and defender swap, Barricade and Bridge destruction and weapon summoning will be unavailable.

- With the changes in rules, the attacking sides will no longer possess a Holy Artifact or Barricade.

- When swapping attacker and defender, the bridge, destroyed Barricade, Holy Artifact, Guard Tower, and Gate Sentry will be placed again. The Outer Gate and Inner Gate will remain as before.

- Improved some of the terrain in Calpheon Siege War to prevent the destruction of a Barricade upon the start of the game, affecting the summoned Ogre.

- The maximum level of Cannons, Ogres, and Elephants in Siege War has been increased from 20 to 25.

※ Maximum level increase applies to Node War Cannon, Ogre and Elephant as well. (Added on July 21)

ㆍ You can raise the level using Training in Guild Skills.

ㆍ From level 21 the price for each level will increase.

ㆍ From level 21 Siege Ogre and Canon will look different.

ㆍ The Elephant will have a new look in levels 1 - 20, and the previous look will be applied from level 21.

- You can now exchange one Petscended Tier 6 Pet and a non-Petscended Tier 6 Pet for a chance to get a Tier 7 Pet.
- Upon failing to exchange for a Tier 7 Pet 15 times, your next attempt is guranteed to be a successful exchange.
- Tier 7 Pet Skills can be trained up to Lv. 25, instead of level 20.
- If a Tier 7 Pet is successfully Petscended once, their skills can be trained up to Lv. 30. If they are successfully Petscended twice the maximum training Lv. will increase to 35.
- After Lv. 21 additional effects will be applied based on the pet's Exclusive Skill. After Lv. 26 only the additional effect will improve.
