Developer Note: The Emergence of Monarch of White Flames

 

Greetings Hunters,

This is the Solo Leveling:ARISE team.

 

First of all, we would like to express our gratitude to the hunters for enjoying Solo Leveling:ARISE.

The team will always try hard for our hunters to always enjoy entertaining actions.

 

Today, we will address details on the improvements mentioned in the previous livestream, including upcoming updates.

 


 

[New Battle Experience]

 

As mentioned in the previous livestream, the changes for “Healing Given Increase” have been determined.

 

Unlike brief notifications in the livestream, there were countless discussions in the development team.

 

As Artifact farming is one of the core content in the game, this affects hunters’ playing experiences such as battle balances and overall entertainment in the game.

 

After long consideration our team has decided to change the “Healing Given Increase” effect into “Mana Recovery Increase.”

 

This decision was made to address feedback regarding the inability to fully enjoy a variety of actions during combat due to a lack of mana.

 

However, please note that since there are hunters using the “Healing Given Increase” effect as a main option, the details will be maintained and only the sub option of the “Healing Given Increase” will be changed.

 

The detailed balance will be announced through a notice in the future.

 

As for the update which contains new battle experience that many hunters await, it is targeted for October.

 

Although it may take some time, we plan to proceed carefully to verify various aspects of balance and assess the impact on Sung Jinwoo and the other hunters.

 

We want to inform you that our team’s approach to balance is focused on “buffing.”

 

Hunters who are evaluated as underperforming or not receiving enough attention, will be continuously adjusted for balance improvements. We will always strive to ensure that you can experience a more diverse range of combat scenarios through these ongoing adjustments.

 

Additionally, many hunters are mentioning and evaluating that the Sung Jinwoo’s new Job Change Monarch of Shadow Soul Shepherd “Sonic Stream” skill’s performance is way better than the previous skills.

 

This balance has been designed to perform with high efficiency in specific situations.

 

However, our development team values the use of Sung Jinwoo’s various Skills and Runes depending on the stage or content. Therefore, we plan to make adjustments to enhance skills and runes that are currently underutilized in the near future.

 

We hope you enjoy the diverse and engaging gameplay.

 

[Sense of Belonging]

 

 

After the last update, many hunters have been enjoying the guild system in various ways, such as creating guilds, becoming guild masters, joining guilds, and becoming a guild member.

 

However, during the joining and leaving the guild, a penalty system, developed to prevent abuse, was activated and was deemed as inconvenient by certain hunters.

The corresponding system is scheduled to be improved so we carefully ask for your patience.

 

Except for the issue above, the details below will also be added or improved.

 

  • - Guild Skill will be added.
  • - When challenging the Guild Boss, additional attempts will be added after registering for 2 times.
  • - A feature to search for other guilds will be added.
  • - The buff display in the exchange shop will be improved.
  • - The display of Guild Master and Vice Guild Master will be improved.
  • - The Guild creation interface will be improved.
  • - Guild notice will be amended and lobby display will be improved.

 

A “Guild Rank” system where hunters can strengthen the unity in the Guild is also under development so please look forward to it.

 

[Crafting]

 

[Truth: Demon Knight's Spear]

 

Through the previous Developer Note in May, we have mentioned an upgrade feature where hunters can upgrade certain Sung Jinwoo SR-Rank weapons to a higher rank.

 

After such information was made public, many hunters have expressed significant concerns.

 

The concerns involved cases where hunters already salvaged SR-Rank equipment and SR-Rank weapons might disrupt the balance of SSR-Rank weapons.

 

The team have collected the hunters' opinions and have currently developed and applied the SSR-Rank weapon crafting through the guild system.

 

The Solo Leveling:ARISE will strive to improve through the precious feedback from our hunters.

 

[Faction of the Shield Skill Level Up]

 

The team is continuously upgrading the detecting system and firmly taking measures related to the usage of unauthorized programs or abuse.

 

We would like to inform you that currently, those who have engaged in fraudulent registration are being monitored in real time and are subject to ranking removal and game access suspension for up to 365 days.

(Those who have engaged in fraudulent registration are not able to reclaim their account.)

 

[Upcoming Improvements]

 

Before addressing the details,

We apologize for the inconvenience due to several issues and unstable service

 

We agree with the opinion that improvements are needed for artifacts with attributes as their main option.

However, after internal discussion, it will take some time since this requires overall amendments, including complex battle calculation logics.

 

We ask for your understanding, Hunters.

 

We will continue addressing the improvements scheduled for the next update.

 

  • - The Bonds level will be expanded to Lv. 90.
  • - The maximum level will be expanded to Lv. 90.
  • - To allow hunters to earn additional rewards at higher scores, the rewards for "Power of Destruction" will be expanded based on achievement scores.
  • - Starting from Battlefield of Time Season 4, the challenge bosses will be increased from 4 to 5 and will proceed for 6 weeks, divided accordingly.
  • - To more promptly distribute the rewards after playing the Battlefield of Time, the settlement time will be shortened.
  • - The segment rewards for the Battle Missions will be expanded.
  • - The Gates difficulty and missions will be expanded.
  • - For a more sensitive control of usage of the ultimate skill in Power of Destruction or Guild Boss content, a new feature where hunters can manually control it in Team Fight mode will be added.
  • - The Hunters Association Support Chest obtainable through the Daily Essence Stone Support will be converted into a better chest item.

 

Although it hasn’t been improved in this update,

We are also exploring ways to utilize unused Tier 4 Gems so we ask for your understanding and patience in this matter.

 

The team will always listen carefully to the feedback of our hunters.

 

[Conclusion]

 

[Battle Scene of Sung Jinwoo vs Baran]

 

Dear Hunters,

The September update is also a crucial update for the development team.

 

We are trying hard to present a more complete story of Sung Jinwoo who will finally face Baran.

 

Please wait for the day to face the demon king, Baran.

 

One more thing, the long-awaited “him” is preparing to visit the hunters before the public release of the Jeju Island raid.

 

At this point, perhaps it's time to give you a sneak peek of him. 

“He has red eyes and blond hair.”

 

“One of the last survivors of the past “Dragon Kamish Raid” in the United States,

named as “National Level” hunter after the incident and the true king of the Scavenger Guild”

 

Any topics we didn't cover in this developers note will be continued in the upcoming "Developer Livestream." We appreciate your anticipation and support.
