Hello, Champions of Teleria!

It’s our regular topic but under a new name. Take a break and get comfy to plunge into our “Raid Digest.”

i

First of all, let's talk about The Clan vs. Clan tournaments. This is one of the first steps (and a big one, too) on our way to improve the whole Clan system. We want to make sure that things go as planned in practice and everything runs smoothly, that’s why the first round will be conducted among the most active clans. The very first launch will be a sort of a beta-test. These clans will help us find any discrepancies and prepare for the global launch of the tournament, which will happen shortly after the beta-test, no worries. 

We want this to be a fitting outlet for the competitiveness of our game. Therefore, we are taking the creation of fair matchmaking as our top priority. In every league, the battle will be taking place between equals, and the only way to gain the upper hand is to improve, act as one and overcome your current limits. Pay attention to the rules and seize the opportunity to win prizes and bragging rights. Good Luck!

Next, I want to elaborate on the game updates' numeration system (since we’ve had a lot of questions about it). All of the numbers of our releases are related to the version of the game in the development cycle. Now, they may not always be connected to the amount of content in a release. What this means is that 4.0 patch release will be mostly technical, but only at first! This release will bring the aforementioned Clan vs Clan Tournaments, only some time after the official release, a bit later. Follow our news posts, Raid digest, and Content Creators for more information! 

I want to also mention the classic arena matchmaking question. While we haven’t made any changes in this area since the very last matchmaking modifications, we see some concerns about a difficulty rise in recent days. Currently, we are checking our data and statistics to see what’s happening there and whether or not some additional measures are required. We will share our findings after this investigation.

Now let’s shift to another interesting part. Not so long ago, we released our second part of "What's next in Raid" video, with a preview of our plans for the near future. We are exhilarated to see your enthusiasm about the new features, and so we prepared a small QnA section for you to answer the most popular questions:

Q. How our new F2P clan can compete with someone from the top 1000?

A. Matchmaking of the Clan vs. Clan tournament will pick adversaries only from clans with roughly the same power and level of activity. We specifically designed thy system to create fair competition between equal competitors. By the nature of the feature, we want to reward our players’ competitiveness and give clans an objective scale to show off their power.

Q. How players with newer accounts can contribute to the Clan vs. Clan competitions with top clans that have high-end gear and champions?

A. Tournament is balanced so that if you cannot contribute by participating in certain activities, you can always compensate for that in other activities.

Q. Why milestones in the What's next video had only ancient shards in them?

A. That was just an example. We have different milestones rewards for different leagues. As always, higher leagues have better rewards.

Q. How long will each Clan vs. Clan tournament last?

A. They might differ, it is a new feature, and we will adjust this one as time goes on. On average, at least a couple of days. 

Q. Is the rewards balance shown in the video an actual thing? 

A. That was just an example. Tournament rewards will be varied, and each league will have a different set of rewards.

Q. Are you going to add new levels to the Affinities and Minotaur dungeons?

A. We will add new floors to the Affinities dungeons, up to level 20. However, the Minotaur dungeon will remain the same.

Q. What about the Hydra? We haven't heard any news about that in a while.

A. It is in development. It is too early to share any details right now, but we will let you know when the time comes.

Q. How will the Reaction accessories interact with guaranteed crit-hit abilities?

A. They interact with the hit itself and not with the ability that creates it. Even when a critical hit is guaranteed, it is still a hit with a critical damage modifier. This set will turn it into a regular hit by removing the modifier from the damage.

Q. Why didn't you just name your new Faction Samurai?

A. Because this faction includes not only Samurai and Ronin-like designs but also mythological creatures of Asian cultures.

Q. When can we expect new features shown in the What's next video?

A. In general, each video tells about our plans for the following three to six months.

That's all for this Raid Digest. Thank you for your attention, have a wonderful Friday!
