Part 2
  • The 2nd part of the festival didn't really show much of new content but rather advertising new side games.
Project BBQ
  • One of the first appearance of the project was announced in 2018.
  • You can view the trailer below
    DFO Mobile
  • Again, this version was first reveled in 2018
  • You can view the trailer below
Anniversary Art
  • This is a celebration of  DFO 15th anniversary.
  • The Art Exhibition can be found here.
  • You can also buy the artbook here, although it's sold out.
Finally, Director's Note
  • Mr. Kang is back to announce Director's Note!
  • Different from what was announced in the festival, Product of Corruption (PoW versions of existing epics eg. PoW Talisman Selection) will be changed to have the same stats as the normal version, and modifications will give similar gains to amplification. This is to alleviate the stress of never finding the epic pieces you want to reach endgame.
  • About the new dungeon reward system:
  • We have prepared an item reward that ensures the highest value of the modifier you want, for the option to alleviate RNG.
  • We've considered player opinions and have added the option of changing weapon modifiers to increasing awakening skill levels for all classes to possibly use weapons with these stats.
  • The aim of the epic/mythic rebalance is to close up the damage gap between sets. We aim to maintain the "theme" of each set.
  • In the future when we are developing new gears, we will put this into consideration, to have different "themed" gears that dont have major differences in damage.
  • We are working hard to develop the future neo awakenings. In the balance patch starting June, we will, use new skills, changes to skill numbers and changes to how the skills work themselves, to balance and close gaps between the classes.
  • Balance patches will be carried out over periods of time to receive reaction as we go.
  • As we've said, there will be no new characters or subclasses to be released before all the neo awakenings are released. This is our promise to adventurers. The new female slayer subclass is a promise too, but will come afterwards.
  • Ozma will come to KDNF before June 2021.
  • There will be new systems implemented so that in the fight with Ozma, it will strengthen the bond with party members and continuously give feedback to each other. In addition to new monster patterns, please look forward to it.
