[Korea] Director's Note: New Year Greetings and Future Direction

• This Note addresses the new class revamps for Male Nen and Male Spitfire. He also talked about the Revisit from Otherverse Dungeons event and preparing for the new level expansion.

Class Revamps and Balances

• The director stated that with the new events take place during the Assault update, many adventurers have come back along with lots of new players.
• On the first server today, along with the renewal patches for Male Nen Master and Male Spitfire, the 8.5% damage increase with the synergy removal seem to be insufficient for some classes.
• In the case of Male Nen Master, adventurers gave a lot of opinions about the spiral energy system, and we also thought that this element is an identity that represents the class, so we wanted to improve the system.
• At first, he thought about simply reducing the energy consumption of the spiral energy. He doesn't know if it will be comfortable in the short term, but in the long term, he thought it would weaken the character's characteristics, so he avoided this simple direction.
• As a result, they increased the attack power of skills that consume spiral energy by increasing the ratio of the spiral sphere damage.
• In addition to this, it was confirmed that the number of active attack skills was insufficient compared to other classes. Considering these parts, they have added a new level 25 skill Lightning Cannon that absorbs spiral energy and a new level 35 skill Thunderous Blast that consumes spiral energy, and readjusted the SP consumption of some existing skills. 
• Next is Male Spitfire, in the past, strong basic attacks through various bullet buffs were one of the characteristics and fun elements that differentiated it from other classes. But now the performance and utilization of basic attacks are far lowered.
• To compensate for this, the pistol carbine skill has been renewed with a new level 70 High Voltage Bullet: Maxwell.
• This is a skill that is designed to cause a current field to expand for a period of time centered on the hit enemy, and to cause additional damage when a basic attack is applied to an enemy within that field. It is expected that the performance and characteristics of basic attacks will be further strengthened through this skill.  
• Also, the effect of explosive bombs have been improved to give the impression of explosion to the target with only basic attacks. And Neil the Snipper, who was called the symbol of the Spitfire, was also reintroduced under the name of "Returned Sniper". 
• For more details about the renewal of the two former jobs, please check the first server​ 
• Separately from the renewal of these two classes, there was a batch adjustment after the synergy removal. As he said last time, it was a simple application of the gap between the pure dealer and the synergy applied to the system, and additional balance patches are scheduled to continue.
• In this first server, they have slightly adjusted some of the previous jobs, and they will continue to check the trend and continue to do additional work.

Max Level Expansion

• Next, He can't help but talk about the max level expansion. It goes without saying, but currently, the most effort is being put into preparing for the max level expansion, more than anything else. 
• As there are so many things to prepare for characters, dungeons, systems, and even art, most of the personnel are doing their best to update the max level expansion. They are preparing DnF Magazine to introduce the new weapons as a chronicle concept and some equipment combinations. They plan to introduce these soon so that you can enjoy it during the Lunar New Year holidays.
• They know a lot of people will be curious about how the story will progress according to the highest level expansion, so they are preparing an audiobook containing important events in the future for release in February.
• And in February, Revisit from Otherverse Dungeons event will be held. He's hoping that it will bring memories and nostalgia to adventurers who have experienced these dungeon.
• Apart from the fun of playing the dungeon, they plan to give out a level 105 weapon as an event reward so that you can prepare in advance for the upcoming level 110.
