Hidden Outer Castle Improvements

Developer Commentary

Hidden Outer Castle is a competitive hunting zone where all guilds that have captured a castle can enter, hunt monsters, and engage in combat with other guilds at the same time.

 

It is held twice a week for one hour each session.

But there have been concerns about fatigue caused by the intense battles between guilds that have claimed castles,

and some also felt that the rewards didn’t match the time and effort they put in.

 

With this update, we aimed to improve Hidden Outer Castle by providing shorter, yet more focused gameplay and more rewarding experiences for Adventurers.

First, the duration has been reduced to half, while rewards have been increased proportionally to the shorter playtime.
Previously, Hidden Outer Castle could be entered immediately after it opened, which sometimes led to reduced playtime for guilds that needed time to prepare.
Since this issue could become more prominent with the shorter duration, we’ve added a 10-minute pre-start notification to help reduce wasted time.

 

Additionally, we have adjusted the respawn time for normal monsters and increased the Spoils of Battle Drop Rate,
allowing Adventurers to earn greater rewards when defeating monsters.

 

Lastly, to bring more variety to the combat experience of repeated battles, deaths, and revives in a limited space,
we have added Elite Monsters that appear at random locations so the frontlines shift as time passes,
and added a feature at the Respawn Point to help Adventurers recover and regroup.

 

We hope these changes help Adventurers feel more immersed in the gameplay and enjoy more satisfying loot,
alleviating some of the fatigue that may have come from repetitive combat experiences.

 

 

- Changed the map of Hidden Outer Castle.
ㆍAdventurers will now be randomly placed at one of three possible starting locations upon entry.

 

- Changed the duration of Hidden Outer Castle to 30 minutes.
- Added a notification that alerts Adventurers 10 minutes before Hidden Outer Castle begins.

- Changed the rewards for Hidden Outer Castle.
ㆍDecreased the respawn time for normal monsters. (10 sec → 3 sec)
ㆍAdded Unknown Memory (Earrings) and removed Unknown Memory (Shoes) from obtainable loot.
