| 5s | hello Heroes of arcasia Henry back with |
| 7s | another episode of patchnotes with Henry |
| 9s | today we're going to cover the December |
| 11s | winter soloist update which is going to |
| 13s | be arriving in arcasia on December 18th |
| 17s | uh it's going to have some really cool |
| 18s | new stuff the solo theme is coming |
| 21s | because we have some new solo modes |
| 23s | coming to the game with theine and a |
| 26s | kidna along with those we're going to |
| 27s | have some new progression events quality |
| 29s | of life updates and a big overhaul to a |
| 32s | bunch of progression systems that are |
| 34s | going to be releasing alongside Korea |
| 37s | that were just announced in Lowa on and |
| 39s | we just covered in the road map earlier |
| 41s | this week super excited to dive into |
| 43s | some of this with you uh but as always |
| 45s | this is going to be a bit of an overview |
| 47s | we're not going to do the full list of |
| 48s | quality of life we'll direct you to the |
| 50s | full written patch notes for some of |
| 52s | that and also some of this is coming |
| 54s | into the build so fast we're trying to |
| 56s | release it you know as soon as possible |
| 58s | since it is Meaningful stuff that you |
| 60s | the community have been asking for I |
| 63s | can't check it out even in game yet |
| 64s | we're still uh still working on getting |
| 66s | some of those builds and collaborating |
| 68s | with smile gate to get that in our |
| 70s | version of the game so today we're just |
| 72s | going to talk through it and then uh |
| 74s | I'll direct you to the full written |
| 75s | notes for a few nuggets of additional |
| 77s | information well let's dive into it well |
| 80s | let's start off with the namesake of the |
| 82s | update the solo mode update so the first |
| 85s | part of that is you're going to be able |
| 87s | to prepare to challenge notorious |
| 89s | threats in Solo for the first time with |
| 91s | theine the legion raid and a kidna a |
| 94s | kazeros raid added to the roster of |
| 97s | raids available in Solo mode there's |
| 99s | going to be a bunch of related items |
| 101s | added to the solo mode exchange and as |
| 104s | part of that update to solo mode there's |
| 106s | going to be a new bonus system called |
| 108s | the Breakthrough bonus so let's quickly |
| 110s | talk through the Breakthrough bonus |
| 111s | system when you successfully complete |
| 114s | specific like very important patterns in |
| 116s | the raid an example would be like |
| 118s | breaking Von's armor in the beginning of |
| 120s | gate 2 you're going to receive a |
| 123s | breakthrough buff there's going to be a |
| 126s | random buff that you'll receive and you |
| 128s | can receive a maximum of three of those |
| 130s | throughout the course of the raid the |
| 132s | buff list is something that's still |
| 133s | being developed even right now leading |
| 135s | up to the update but one that I can talk |
| 137s | about is the super self-reliant buff |
| 140s | which is a spin on the existing |
| 142s | self-reliant buff that allows you to |
| 144s | survive like a wipe pattern um the way |
| 147s | that this one's going to work is it's |
| 149s | actually going to be a on that which |
| 151s | protects you even more protecting you |
| 153s | from even crazier white patterns or for |
| 156s | example falling off of the map so |
| 158s | there's going to be kind of those new |
| 160s | spins and you'll be able to earn those |
| 161s | throughout the course of the fight while |
| 163s | still learning the mechanics of the raid |
| 165s | in Solo mode along with that update |
| 167s | we're also going to be instituting a |
| 169s | cost decrease for solo mode view more |
| 172s | rewards those rewards that you can |
| 174s | purchase after you clear a gate the full |
| 177s | list of all of those rewards are in the |
| 179s | written patch notes but but I'm not |
| 180s | going to read through like the full list |
| 182s | because it goes for every gate from |
| 185s | vaulton all the way through Ivory Tower |
| 187s | so there's a ton of adjustments there I |
| 190s | think my quick napkin math on it was |
| 192s | somewhere between 30 to 35% reduction so |
| 195s | a pretty sizable one for players that |
| 197s | are still clearing that on some gold |
| 199s | earners and trying to purchase those |
| 200s | rewards to further their characters hone |
| 204s | up get those materials that sort of |
| 206s | thing and the final quick note on solo |
| 208s | mode there's been a slight Nerf to the |
| 210s | cacal sedon raid uh the Bingo phase of |
| 214s | Gate 3 has been removed just to make |
| 216s | that a bit more of an Express and easier |
| 218s | experience for players playing through |
| 220s | that on solo mode it will still be in |
| 222s | the nons solo mode versions of the raid |
| 224s | so players can still experience that |
| 226s | when they go fight kacal sidon on his |
| 228s | other difficulties so if you watched our |
| 231s | road map video earlier this week one of |
| 233s | the things that we talked about is the |
| 234s | next kazeros raid being added to the |
| 236s | game one that features narac and the |
| 239s | redesigned Baza in kind of an icy and |
| 242s | wintry setting so in this update we're |
| 245s | going to be adding The kazeros Raid act |
| 248s | to prologue the prologue Quest covers |
| 251s | the story of how the Allied Forces began |
| 253s | a new strategy to overcome the current |
| 255s | situation for the ongoing war in North |
| 257s | cazan as you progress through the |
| 259s | prologue Quest you will learn the new |
| 262s | strategy of the Allied Forces after |
| 264s | fighting AAR especially as we head |
| 266s | towards that battle against narac and |
| 268s | Baza there's some new strategies that |
| 270s | need to come up so you can receive that |
| 273s | prologue Quest Paving the way to Victory |
| 275s | from the MPC Mian at the abidos Garrison |
| 278s | there's some prerequisite Quests for |
| 280s | that including the north Kong Quest the |
| 282s | path to take and also completing the |
| 284s | casos raid Act One prol Quest where the |
| 287s | volcanic ash has settled so once you've |
| 289s | done those you're ready to embark on |
| 291s | this new adventure to prepare for that |
| 293s | new raid arriving next month in January |
| 296s | up next we have a new season of Proving |
| 299s | Grounds kicking off season 6 is going to |
| 301s | be arriving there's a few tweaks for |
| 303s | this season for instance courage coins |
| 306s | are going to be removed and instead |
| 307s | there's a new event exchange that lasts |
| 310s | throughout the course of the season so |
| 312s | more of like a seasonal exchange and |
| 314s | that's going to include some new stuff |
| 315s | including some tier 4 rewards so if |
| 319s | you're a fan of PVP definitely go check |
| 320s | that out when it's added to the game all |
| 322s | right up next let's talk about |
| 324s | progression updates a lot of these |
| 326s | changes were just debuted at Lowa on a |
| 328s | few days ago but since has been such a |
| 330s | top concern from the community we wanted |
| 333s | to make sure that we pulled these into |
| 334s | the update as fast as possible |
| 336s | especially while we have some of these |
| 337s | progression events going on that utilize |
| 340s | these systems or introduce newer |
| 342s | returning players to them so let's start |
| 344s | off talking about some of the Elixir |
| 346s | adjustments The Elixir progression |
| 348s | system has been overhauled to make |
| 350s | Elixir transmuting faster easier to get |
| 353s | good results and less strategic to just |
| 355s | simplify the overall experience The |
| 357s | Elixir refin method has been updated so |
| 360s | that of the like five options that you |
| 362s | select four are going to be selected |
| 364s | automatically when you receive the |
| 366s | Elixir and then you can select whatever |
| 368s | you want whatever option you want for |
| 370s | that last effect the transmutation |
| 372s | experience has been simplified we |
| 375s | decrease the transmute times from 14 |
| 377s | down to 10 so while there's less times |
| 380s | you transmute we simplified and improved |
| 382s | the advice options granted by the sages |
| 385s | we also remove the Order and Chaos gauge |
| 388s | system and then increase the great |
| 390s | success rate so while you're transmuting |
| 393s | the Elixir less times the options are |
| 395s | going to be simplified it's going to be |
| 397s | easier and also you're going to have a |
| 399s | way better chance at hitting those great |
| 401s | success rates along with that there's |
| 403s | some other simplifications uh we |
| 405s | decrease the number of view other |
| 407s | options from two down to one so you just |
| 409s | have like that one uh kind of save |
| 411s | option if you need to like completely |
| 413s | recycle something but with the new |
| 415s | options it should just be a simpler |
| 417s | experience and let you go through that |
| 419s | just faster and easier overall up next |
| 422s | let's talk about some of the adjustments |
| 424s | to the Transcendent system this system |
| 426s | has also been overhauled to simplify the |
| 428s | progression path the system will now |
| 431s | purify stone tablets instead of breaking |
| 433s | them so the miname has kind of shifted |
| 436s | around when Transcendent starts a little |
| 439s | fairy is located on the beginning Stone |
| 441s | tablet and then as you select Elemental |
| 443s | cards the fairy moves a designated |
| 446s | number of times and each Elemental card |
| 448s | has an activation probability when the |
| 450s | FY moves through all the tablets and |
| 452s | reaches the last one the Transcendence |
| 454s | will be completed new special tablets to |
| 456s | help Transcendence will be added and the |
| 459s | effect of elin's Grace will be modified |
| 462s | accordingly we hope that this will just |
| 464s | like simplify the experience overall and |
| 466s | make it smoother as you progress through |
| 468s | it on both a new character or if you're |
| 471s | a player going through it for the first |
| 473s | time you probably won't need to rely on |
| 475s | as many outside programs I know a lot of |
| 477s | people use the Transcendence calculator |
| 479s | for instance they should just simplify |
| 481s | it and make sure that you can progress |
| 482s | through that system without needing to |
| 484s | know too much outside knowledge about |
| 486s | how to do it optimally all right for |
| 488s | advanced honing another progression |
| 490s | system a new honing support material |
| 493s | will be added it's going to act kind of |
| 495s | similar to tailoring and Metallurgy |
| 497s | books when you're honing your normal |
| 498s | gear but instead is going to increase |
| 501s | the great success chance for advanced |
| 503s | honing think this will be just a good |
| 505s | way of granting players some materials |
| 507s | to help through help them through that |
| 509s | system uh I know there's been some talk |
| 511s | in the community about it feeling a bit |
| 513s | expensive when you're doing it in tier 4 |
| 515s | as opposed to tier three uh but |
| 518s | hopefully this helps us you know just be |
| 519s | able to Grant some materials to make |
| 522s | that a little bit faster uh and |
| 524s | alleviate it but if you have any |
| 526s | continued feedback feel free to keep |
| 528s | supplying that to our teams it's always |
| 530s | super helpful so that's it for kind of |
| 532s | the end game system reworks but we're |
| 535s | also able to pull in some changes for |
| 537s | tier 2 and tier 3 chaos dungeons for |
| 540s | players that maybe still have some alts |
| 541s | down there or for new players that are |
| 543s | coming in and still experiencing that |
| 545s | content so tier 2 and three chaos |
| 548s | dungeons have been decreased from two |
| 550s | per day down to one per day you're still |
| 552s | going to receive the same amount of |
| 554s | rewards from that uh as before you know |
| 556s | all the gear accessories honing |
| 558s | materials silver gems and whatnot um so |
| 562s | you're not going to be missing out on |
| 563s | anything it's just going to simplify |
| 565s | that experience down into one dungeon |
| 567s | rather than needing to reenter and do it |
| 568s | again two to go along with that uh |
| 571s | you're going to have to spend 100 Aura |
| 573s | of resonance instead of 50 and then |
| 575s | you're going to need to use 40 rest |
| 577s | bonus instead of 20 uh if you want to |
| 580s | get those increased rest bonus rewards |
| 583s | very similar to how it functions in tier |
| 586s | four when you're doing the kurur on |
| 587s | front line uh and then along with that |
| 589s | chaos dungeon stronghold dispatch |
| 591s | rewards are going to be adjusted |
| 593s | accordingly along with all these updates |
| 595s | there's a few Buffs that we've expanded |
| 597s | as well honing that requires only silver |
| 600s | instead of gold has been expanded to |
| 602s | item level 1580 instead of where it was |
| 605s | previously at at item level 1540 we also |
| 608s | expanded the starting novice Adventurer |
| 610s | buff and expanded the proon protection |
| 613s | effect all the way up to a kid and |
| 614s | normal mode so that will help players |
| 617s | kind of check out some of those raids |
| 619s | like a kidna and themine with these |
| 621s | Buffs to make that uh experience a |
| 623s | little bit easier especially you know if |
| 625s | they're new and want to check out solo |
| 626s | mode they'll be able to have this uh |
| 628s | when when doing those difficulties of |
| 630s | the raid all right let's talk about |
| 632s | events we got some cool stuff coming in |
| 634s | this month to hopefully uh continue to |
| 636s | help with progression since we've been |
| 638s | kind of on that train we can keep the |
| 640s | good times rolling one thing I know |
| 642s | people are going to be looking forward |
| 643s | to is we're adding a South K on power |
| 645s | pass those are going to be available in |
| 647s | the store but we're also going to be |
| 648s | giving a free event one to all players |
| 652s | uh using that South curon power pass is |
| 654s | going to drop the designated character |
| 656s | off at item level 1580 as if they've |
| 659s | just completed the South Kon story line |
| 662s | this event power pass is going to be |
| 663s | available to use until February 26th |
| 667s | 2025 the other big event that we have |
| 670s | coming in is going to be called the icy |
| 672s | breakthrough event it's a new |
| 674s | mission-based progression event built to |
| 676s | help players progress through the |
| 677s | beginning of tier 4 it's a great |
| 679s | continuation of the ongoing hyper |
| 681s | Awakening Road event and will help |
| 683s | progression in early tier 4 there's |
| 685s | going to be four categories of missions |
| 687s | there's weapon honing armor honing in |
| 690s | clearing a kidna Gates and clearing |
| 692s | Behemoth Gates the honing missions will |
| 694s | grant Hellfire honing books and gold as |
| 697s | you hone your gear over item level 1640 |
| 700s | the akid missions are going to Grant |
| 702s | ais's scales and alon's eyes along with |
| 705s | the new Advanced honing support material |
| 708s | that we talked about a little bit |
| 709s | earlier in the progression section |
| 711s | finally the Behemoth missions are going |
| 713s | to Grant Behemoth scales and weapon |
| 715s | Transcendence restoration tickets yeah |
| 718s | so all of this together is going to |
| 719s | really help uh especially if you just |
| 721s | had a character that finished the hyper |
| 723s | Awakening Road help push it give it some |
| 725s | ammo to keep pushing you know up to like |
| 727s | aear normal mode at 1660 where you can |
| 730s | start getting some benefits of Arc |
| 731s | passive and whatnot um should just be a |
| 733s | good way of getting some gold some |
| 735s | additional materials and some help |
| 737s | progressing through some of those |
| 739s | auxiliary progression paths that you |
| 741s | need to take in Lost AR cool up next |
| 743s | let's quickly talk about some Store |
| 745s | updates in this update we're going to be |
| 747s | releasing some limited time winter sales |
| 750s | so you can get ready to end the year |
| 751s | with a bang there's going to be some |
| 753s | really big deals and the sale is going |
| 756s | to have kind of a two-prong approach |
| 757s | there's going to be four packs in Steam |
| 760s | each with one little bonus item but then |
| 762s | also a bunch of heavily discounted Royal |
| 765s | crystals so you can stock up on a bunch |
| 767s | of Royal crystals for the holidays at a |
| 769s | good rate and then ingame in the you |
| 772s | know F4 shop there's going to be a bunch |
| 775s | of packages you can use those Royal |
| 777s | crystals to purchase in the game and |
| 779s | there's a bonus room as well uh so as |
| 782s | you purchase some more of those packs |
| 784s | you'll continue to earn rewards and get |
| 786s | some cool bonus items we're going to |
| 788s | publish a full Showcase of those packs |

| 792s | sure to keep an eye out for them the |
| 794s | dates for that sale are going to be |

| 798s | sure you hop in and grab them while you |
| 800s | can so along with those limited time |
| 802s | sales being added to the shop there's |
| 804s | also going to be a new cosmetic |
| 805s | collection we're going to have the |
| 807s | snowfield set arriving in the shop |
| 810s | you can reach the height of wintry |
| 811s | fashion with the new snowfield formal |
| 813s | party skins and travel as if you in a |
| 815s | winter wonderland in the snowfield sled |
| 818s | mount a festive Fairy Pet kind of rounds |
| 820s | out the collection as a cool new |
| 822s | companion uh let's take a look at the |
| 824s | new Cosmetics showcased here |
| 832s | [Music] |
| 887s | all right let's round out the video with |
| 889s | some general updates I've pulled out a |
| 891s | few updates that I think the community |
| 894s | you all are going to really care about |
| 896s | and we'll talk through some of those but |
| 897s | there's going to be a bunch more this |
| 899s | this is the section where if you're |
| 900s | really curious about all of the little |
| 902s | system changes I'd encourage you to go |
| 904s | read through the full notes but there's |
| 906s | a couple thousand words of just kind of |
| 908s | General small systems changes that we |
| 910s | don't really have time to read through |
| 911s | all of those today but let's talk |
| 913s | through some that are pretty important |
| 915s | so first of all the music box of memory |
| 917s | is going to be improved we simplified |
| 919s | the starting condition of a bunch of |
| 921s | those quests to create a smoother and |
| 922s | more streamlined experience so if you |
| 924s | want to start getting some of those |
| 925s | Collectibles now is a great time you're |
| 927s | going to be able to hop in and get them |
| 928s | a little bit faster |
| 930s | with maybe a few fewer prerequisites all |
| 932s | of the ways which that has been tweaked |
| 934s | is listed out in the full notes there's |
| 936s | some pretty cool combat improvements |
| 938s | coming uh the one that I'm personally |
| 940s | most excited for is we've removed the |
| 942s | internal cooldown of monsters |
| 944s | counterattacks so that even if a boss |
| 946s | uses a counter pattern consecutively |
| 949s | within like a short period of time |
| 950s | you're now going to be able to counter |
| 952s | that second pattern uh that's really |
| 954s | great for some damage uptime windows I |
| 956s | remember in voldus it was kind of |
| 958s | frustrating sometimes not being bble to |
| 959s | counter laram in the final gate right |
| 962s | after he' done one that was part of like |
| 964s | a mechanic or something so that internal |
| 966s | cool down or ICD as you know players say |
| 969s | all the time is going to be removed so |
| 972s | get ready to start countering even more |
| 974s | another cool combat change is we |
| 975s | decreased the taunt resistance figure of |
| 977s | Guardian slightly to help out uh in |
| 980s | Guardian raids and then one other kind |
| 982s | of notable one is we modified the death |
| 984s | timing of the Lord carthon Aon from Aon |
| 988s | gate three |
| 990s | uh previously the boss didn't die |
| 991s | exactly when reaching zero HP but it |
| 994s | will now another important one a bunch |
| 996s | of cards were just added to the game |
| 997s | with tier 4 as I'm sure you know you've |
| 999s | seen and started collecting some of the |
| 1001s | new ones and we've expanded the basic |
| 1003s | card storage slots from a 120 slots to |
| 1006s | 250 slots as you know or probably have |
| 1009s | done you can purchase additional slots |
| 1012s | for all those cards with blue crystals |
| 1014s | uh but as part of this of getting those |
| 1015s | 130 extra slots any that exceed the |
| 1019s | maximum number of slots which is 510 |
| 1022s | will have a corresponding amount of |
| 1024s | crystals refunded to you so if you were |
| 1026s | already at 510 you'd get the crystal |
| 1028s | amount for the 130 or if you're a bit |
| 1031s | below that you'll have you know the 40 |
| 1033s | or 50 slots over refunded to you so |
| 1035s | hopefully that helps out and if you've |
