Dear Metas, Since the beginning of the new season, we've received a wealth of feedback. We’ve noticed that the demand for Hard Difficulty servers is far beyond our expectations. Currently, the number of existing Hard Difficulty servers cannot meet our players’ needs. After a brief internal discussion, we've made some adjustments based on your suggestions and needs. 1. Due to high demand for more Hard Difficulty servers, we will monitor online activity in real-time and open additional servers as needed. Announcements regarding these openings will be made on our official platforms, allowing players to select their preferred server and plan their playtime accordingly. We plan to open registration for the following Hard Difficulty servers in advance: [b]North America: Registration for PVE01-X0050 begins on August 20, 2024, at 7: 00 AM (PDT), labeled Voidbringer, Regeneration, Hard. Europe: Registration for PVE01-X0050 begins on August 20, 2024, at 7: 00 AM (UTC), labeled Voidbringer, Regeneration, Hard.[/b] We will continuously update the list of servers that will be opened in advance and announce it on the official accounts of our channels. Please stay tuned. Regarding Hard Difficulty servers that our players are highly concerned about, we will provide further explanations here: In Hard Difficulty, the amount of Starchrom obtainable through various methods is approximately 8%-9% higher than in Normal Difficulty. This difference applies only to Starchrom obtained from Seasonal Objectives and Purification; rewards from other sources remain the same between Hard and Normal Difficulties. For the Manibus/Evolution's Call scenario in Normal Difficulty, the combat difficulty has been increased compared to Novice Difficulty. Hard Difficulty offers greater challenges in survival and combat, catering to players seeking a more demanding experience. We aim to provide different difficulty levels to meet the needs of various players, ensuring everyone can find a suitable pace for the second season. 2. To accommodate a diverse range of players and support server development, we have decided to postpone the launch of the Normal Difficulty servers initially scheduled to open after August 20, 2024. The list of servers with postponed opening: [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42949884/92952e4c8215de6e3b91a423d7984b5f6404c408.jpg[/img] Players who have already registered for the above servers can choose a different server. We will automatically cancel the registration for those who do not do so themselves in the next few days. We will also provide compensation to those affected by this adjustment. *Hard Difficulty servers will remain on their original schedule. We deeply value your input and understand the desire for co-op and more challenging experiences. Please continue to send feedback through official channels such as Discord and Customer Support. We are committed to addressing your concerns promptly. Thank you for your support and we will continue to optimize the game content to bring everyone a better gaming experience!
