[2022] [Notice] Class Skill issue fix notice (Updated)

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

From my battle to our war, MMORPG MIR4. Greetings, This is MIR4.

The fundamental approach in our class balancing is based on the idea that all classes with similar Power Score should possess equivalent potential of being victorious when engaging in battle against one another. This allows for strategy to play a vital role in the outcome of PvP battles through specific character builds, skill rotations, and manual control.

Through in-game monitoring and community feedback, we have noticed that Arbalists were considerably more powerful in the overall class balance. As such, rather than reducing the effectiveness of Arbalists, we’ve improved other classes through our Mar. 22nd, 2022 maintenance update, intended to minimize the balance gap between Arbalists and other classes.

However, contrary to our initial intention, post-update changes have not effectively resolved the imbalance between Arbalists and other classes. Upon closer examination and analysis of the situation, we were able to identify several skills across multiple classes that were inflicting significantly higher damage compared to their original skill design.

This issue seems to have occurred since the Mystical Piece update conducted on Nov. 16th, and has confirmed that this caused Arbalists to inflict significantly higher damage compared to other classes.

These abnormalities were found in the following skills:

<Sorcerer>
Skills Intended Design Actual DMG Difference Blizzard 220% 320% x1.45 DMG Amplification Dragon Tornado 650% 910% x1.40 DMG Amplification <Taoist>
Skills Intended Design Actual DMG Difference Moonlight Orb 200% 360% x1.80 DMG Amplification <Arbalist>
Skills Intended Design Actual DMG Difference Burst Shell 220% 390% x1.77 DMG Amplification Venom Mist Shell 250% 450% x1.80 DMG Amplification Ice Cage 230% 370% x1.61 DMG Amplification Heavenly Bow 300% 480% x1.60 DMG Amplification
The abnormally amplified damage in the above listed skills are quite significant and are believed to have negatively impacted the overall gameplay experience for all MIR4 gamers.

We intend to revert these skill damage values back to their originally intended design parameters in the upcoming maintenance update scheduled for Apr. 5th, 2022. In doing so, we expect the overall class balance to correctly be realigned and provide our gamers with a fair and competitive gameplay environment.

Following these changes, we will continue to closely monitor the results in-game to make sure there are no additional abnormalities related to class balances.

We thank you for your understanding and our team will continue our efforts in creating the most competitive and enjoyable gaming environment for all of our Dragonians.
