DragonGuard Anti-Cheat
We developed our own anti-cheat system, DragonGuard. It addresses the limitations we encountered with the previous solution and gives us greater control over fair-play protection.
The next chapter
A closer look at the gameplay, balance, content, quality-of-life, and technical improvements developed for this new season.
Fair play
We developed our own anti-cheat system, DragonGuard. It addresses the limitations we encountered with the previous solution and gives us greater control over fair-play protection.
We developed our own anti-bot CAPTCHA system. Together with DragonGuard, it forms an important part of our efforts to reduce automated gameplay and botting.
A smoother adventure
After entering Antharas' lair, the waiting time before the cinematic begins has been reduced from 40 minutes to 15 minutes.
Once Riposte Stance is activated, it cannot be switched off for 15 seconds.
We introduced the Buff Card System, providing upgradeable NPC buff options. It slows progression during the early server stages while preserving effective solo play.
We developed our own NPC Buffer. Pets and servitors can now receive buffs as well.
The duration of Cat and Unicorn buffs has been increased to match the duration of Songs and Dances.
Interlude restored
Skill reuse times have been corrected to match their intended Interlude values.
Known incorrect or misleading skill descriptions have been corrected.
Fixed a client critical error that could occur when switching subclasses through the Substack system.
Fixed duplicated mastery effects affecting Prophet and Sword Singer.
Certificate skills have been removed because they introduced significant balance issues.
Gracia-era skills have been removed, with the exception of Improved Buffs.
Heroic Miracle has been rebalanced by reducing its overall power to limit its impact on competitive play.
Added a new visual effect for Heroic Miracle.
Content fixes
Fixed the Heine Captain HTML and related functionality. Kamaloka and Labyrinth are now accessible and working correctly.
Fixed an issue in the first Pailaka quest that could prevent players from completing and turning in the quest.
Restored the intended Olympiad arena.
