Hello, this is Xenon, the PD of Grand Saga IDLE: KNIGHTS X KNIGHTS.

I am delighted to share some great news. 

We have surpassed ₩1 Billion in cumulative global sales.

This achievement is a result of the love and support from all of our dedicated Captains. 

We sincerely thank you all once again.

During the first month since the game's release, we regretfully encountered various bugs and issues across multiple aspects. 

While we aimed to address these promptly, we faced challenges due to a lack of resources and could not respond as quickly as we wished.

As a result, we began hiring immediately after the launch, and many new team members joined us in July and have already started working. 

We will continue to expand our team to provide you with better content and services consistently.

Thank you for your continued support.

Let me explain the recent issues in as much detail as possible.

[Artifact-related Matters]

We have closely examined the concerns raised about the rewards and difficulty changes in the Artifact Dungeon.

Here is a summary of your concerns:

1. The significant reduction in summon tickets makes it difficult to obtain artifacts.

2. The rewards do not accumulate summon levels.

The changes and intentions of the recent patch are as follows: 

Addition of Preferred Artifact Guaranteed Acquisition Locations

• For players who have reached around the 200th stage, the number of summons remains similar, but there were issues with not obtaining specific artifacts.

• We have added guaranteed acquisition locations for preferred artifacts such as the "Princess's Right" at the 260th stage and the "Sky Guardian" at the 280th stage.

Encouraging Elemental Deck Formation in Daily Dungeons

• Each dungeon is designed to provide powerful buffs to elemental heroes and include specific patterns, creating dungeons of a certain difficulty that require players to utilize various heroes.

• For example, the Gold Dungeon encourages the use of tank and fire elemental heroes, while the Potential Ability Dungeon highlights one-shot dealers due to sequential boss appearances.

Improvements to Artifact Dungeon Mechanics

• Most players were using their stage decks unchanged in the Artifact Dungeon due to its lack of unique elements. To address this, we have enhanced the bosses primarily based on health and changed the gameplay to encourage using light elemental heroes (with a +100% attack bonus).

Increased Probability of Supreme Artifact Chest Rewards

• Despite its name, the Supreme Artifact Chest had a low probability of containing more than one artifact or a common grade artifact. This has been improved with the latest dungeon patch.

• Please note that after replacing rewards with the Supreme Artifact Chest, the amount of rewards has increased.

• Expected rewards from the Supreme Artifact Chest at the 260th stage include a higher chance of legendary artifacts and summon tickets.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Explanation of the Issue with the Non-Accumulating Summon Levels for Artifacts

To ensure that you can sufficiently raise your summon levels, we plan to provide resources based on the quantity accumulated during the one-month collaboration period. 

Below are the amounts that have typically been obtained (excluding paid items and proceeded artifact dungeon):

• Legendary Artifacts: 35 pieces
• Artifact Summon Tickets: 11,370 tickets

Upcoming Patch Details

[Artifacts]

A general upgrade for artifacts is planned.

• Enhancements considering the effects of artifacts like "Sky Guardian" and "Spiegel" on attacks.
• Improvement of high-star artifacts to match their acquisition difficulty and status.

[Challenge Updates]

As mentioned in the update notes, we aim to provide fun each season with developed characters and new rules.

- Rules

• Each season will present appropriate trials to offer the enjoyment of new strategies.
• The bonuses and trials for the current "Trial of Earth" are designed with this intention and allow for greater flexibility in formation compared to the "Trial of Water."
• Removal of "Silence" (unable to cast skills) and "DOT damage debuff" (death).
• The “Earth Spirit King Dione" grants itself many buffs, aligning with the characteristics of wind attribute characters, so we hope you will explore various combinations to effectively remove buffs or strengthen your deck.

[Ranking Rewards]

There was an error in displaying the ranking rewards for the "Trial of Earth," and we will soon share the corrected details.

• Changes to rewards for ranks 4-50.
• Missing display of ring fragment rewards.
• Arena Artifact Application Error

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by an issue where the artifact selected in the stage is incorrectly applied in the arena.

[Arena Artifact Issue]

• The artifact set in the stage is applied instead of the one set in the arena.
• Defenders only benefit from the equipped artifact's effect.

- Resolution and Compensation

We are currently working on resolving this issue and will soon share the detailed schedule separately.

As an apology, we will grant the first-place reward in the arena (10,000 diamonds, 600 hero summon tickets) to all participants next week.

[Character Logic Issues]

We are aware of the following character-related issues and will notify you separately once resolved:

• Namarie moves backward when casting a skill.
• Other characters with similar backward movement issues were found to be also related.
• Christina does not use heal when not under a debuff.

[Summer Costumes]

We are revealing the skin and SD for Namarie.

Equipping Namarie's costume will change the illustration and SD character.

Skill effects will also change.

The swimsuit costume illustration includes additional touch motions, so check it out in the game.

Details of costumes and events for 6 more characters will be disclosed in upcoming update notes, so stay tuned.

We are working hard to prepare generous rewards to help you enjoy a refreshing summer.

[Server Defense Command Center Concept]

Through the Command Center, players can prepare for defense battles.

Elements such as building barriers with resources obtained from stage hunts are being prepared, so please look forward to it.

We always appreciate your love and support.
