Masters of the Book,
This is Kim Young-mo, the director of ASTRA: Knights of Veda. The development team is here to answer the feedback and questions you, our Masters of the Book, have shared.
1. Guild Contribution barely matters in the grand scheme of things. Is there something being done to address this? Maybe using them to level up the guild or apply guild-wide buffs? A Rework to the Guild Shop would also be great.
Due to the development prioritizing the development of other major features, the planned rework to the Guild System has been repeatedly delayed. We apologize for not being able to make improvements to the system despite it being released for a while now.
Updates to this system alongside a Guild Shop Rework and the introduction of “Guild Sieges” will be added on the game’s August Update. Rest assured once we have the details finalized we’ll be sharing the details either through a “Director’s Note” or the “Dev Sneak Peek”
2. I think a Global ranking/leaderboard for the game would be great, where users could also earn rewards depending on their rank. Thank you for your wonderful suggestion! We’ll keep it in mind while we do updates to the leaderboard system.
One of these ideas we are considering is the addition of a single page where you can view all the active leaderboards. As many of the game’s newer content feature leaderboards, we believe this is a good direction to go about it.
In addition, we are considering adding additional factors to calculating Global Ranking if we do go around adding one.
3. Are there any plans to run events that allow us to earn extra Gold or maybe reduce Adventure Shoes consumption?
It seems that as we continue on our quest to update the game, we might have fallen into a routine with the event planning.
Rest assured that as with other aspects of the game, we plan to take a closer look at which resources our Masters of the Book need the most and incorporate them into our event planning discussions, with the request for more ways to earn Gold and reduced Adventurer’s Shoe consumption high on our list.
4. Are there any plans to adjust the rewards for the Daily Attendance Event? It seems like it’s based on very old standards, and the game’s changed a lot since then.
We would like to inform our Masters of the Book that an update to the reward structure for the Daily Attendance Event is currently being reviewed.
With the addition of new content to the game, we understand that the needs of players for various resources have increased and we plan to take this into account when conducting the review.
We’ll be sharing more information about this in the foreseeable future.
5. Where can we find information on individual Knight skills and damage calculations? For example, I’m not sure whether the Additional DMG effect for Aslan’s skill is affected by Critical Chance or Crit DMG, and I’d also like to know if DoT is unaffected by Elemental Damage. I’d like to understand the exact mechanics.
First, we would like to apologize for not being able to provide accurate information regarding damage calculations. There’s a couple of exceptions related to the damage calculation that makes it hard to display the calculation directly in-game. Rest assured that we will be updating and displaying the relevant information for this and other relevant calculation formulas on our official platforms.
As for the Additional DMG mechanic in use by Knights such as Ellen Farrell, Aslan, Amor and Dorothea among others, they are NOT affected by Crit DMG and Crit Chance. This was intentionally designed so as to not make the mechanic too overpowered.
Additionally, DoT effects are NOT influenced by Elemental Damage modifiers – they are only affected by their respective status effects (Bleed, Poison, Shock, Burn etc.)
Again, we would like to apologize for any confusion caused and hope that we are able to explain it properly to all of our Masters of the Book.
6. Can you guys stick to the roadmap or just release it in time? It’s a bit disappointing when you release a roadmap and then have it be changed.
Rest assured that with the recent roadmap released, we are planning to deliver all of the content therein punctually and that any changes to the release schedule or content will be announced more promptly.
We will do our best to meet the expectations of our Masters of the Book.
※ The information stated was provided to help our Masters of the Book understand our upcoming content schedule. More precise details will be given regarding content names and specifics through the patch notes.
Thank You.
