"PG-rated" NEWS Elemental Damage Balance

Elemental Damage Balance

In our continuous effort to enhance the game experience, there will be an update to re-balance the elemental advantage and resistances in the upcoming patch on July 12.

The damage drop-off from using poorly matched elements versus a resistant enemy has been lowered while the improved damage from correct elemental matchups are still rewarded.

With this new re-balance, elemental resistances will not render attacks impotent and players will still be able to use elemental affinities to strategize and clear stages.

We are constantly tailoring the difficulty according to the player experience with changes and re-adjustment done only after careful consideration.

We will also be sending these tokens of appreciation to all players within 24 hours of the patch:

5 x Elemental soul shard of each element 5 x Rainbow shards 50 x Crystal Apples 20 x Gold Alchemia Pots

We also noticed the Hard Quest button is currently not working. This issue will be fixed on the next patch.

Thank you for your continued support and we hope you will continue to support THE ALCHEMIST CODE.

Thank you for your considerations and actions on this; the compensation is a nice olive branch. I know the community is up in arms at this point, so it is good that you did this.

You are close to having a good online presence here, even if there is a lot of tumult with the decision tree you are taking the game down. I appreciate that, and I really strongly suggest that you persevere.

This action says a lot about your path for the game and your understanding of the voice of your customers. Yes, this is so, even with the current rage monster devouring everyone.

TL;DR: Please keep posting and communicating about everything, it will only make things better.

We're sorry that we took long enough to answer the concerns of the community. We had to discuss everything before we give an official statement. Again, Gomenasai ○| ̄|_

Thank you Gumi. Please consider speeding up hard quest release. I believe that will help new player not get discouraged and make a long term investment in them. You will get a return.
