DFOArchive: [Korea] March's Updates and Improvements

March was a pretty slow and dead month for KDnF. There were only minor changes and improvements. They're waiting for April to release the new archer subclass Traveler.

March 2nd Update

Muse Changes

Dev's Note: In consideration of the difficulty of using score skills that require additional manipulation, the application range of all score playing skills has been adjusted, and invincibility time has been granted after the performance motion ends when random note input is successful, so that you can respond more flexibly to various situations.
Effector On: Power - A description of the score playing time limit is added to the skill tooltip.
Effector On: Groove - A description of the score playing time limit is added to the skill tooltip.
Famous - A description of the random note input time limit is added to the skill tooltip. If you successfully input random notes, you will remain invincible for a short period of time even after the music ends.
Drop the Beat - When 'Energetic Beat' or 'Capella's Stigma: Energetic Beat' talisman is equipped, the maximum holding time of the mark aiming at the landing position of the amplifier is reduced.
FINALE: Special Story

The point at which random notes can be entered is changed to be faster than before.
Changed so that buffs are applied to party members at a faster time when selecting and using on-the-stage skills.
When selecting and using the INTRO: Shine on Me skill, the On the Stage skill's pre-input range and buff application timing are readjusted.
If the held enemy's HP reaches 0, they will die immediately.
When encore is cast, the minimum effect transparency is applied, so even if the transparency is set to 20% or less, the effect based on the 20% setting will be displayed.

The effect range of the following skills is increased. (900px → 1000px)

Sensation, Happy Mood, Mood Change, My Heart is Rubato, Adrenaline Rhapsody, Sweet Cantabile, Lucky Crescendo

March 9th Update

Muse Changes

Dev's Note: In order to improve the survivability while playing, the effect of reducing the amount of damage received has been strengthened, and the amount of damage received has been reduced even during the playing motion when entering the note skill. In addition, in order to alleviate the burden on random notes, the brand new adlib effect has been changed to be applied to random notes and random notes in the awakening period.
Effector On: Power / Groove - Changed to reduce damage received when performing a playing motion by entering a musical note skill. Damage reduction amount is increased. (10% → 20%)
Fan Service - The description of the resurrection waiting status UI displayed to party members has been improved.
Famous - While using the Effector On skill, a random note speech bubble is changed to be output in real time according to the amount of divine power held.
Brand New - Changed so that the adlib function is activated for random notes added with fame and random notes during the awakening period.

Buffer Common Changes

Dev's Note: Resurrection skill visibility has been strengthened so that you can recognize and respond more quickly when an ally dies during battle.
When a party member's HP becomes 0, the remaining death state duration and HELP! The text changes to appear in the party frame. In the case of Muse, it will be displayed from the moment a fan service application is received.

Enchantress, Muse - Changed so that the resurrection-only effects output to party members are not covered by monsters.
If there is a party member whose HP is 0, the borders of the resurrection skill icons registered in the quick slot are changed to be highlighted.

Bakal Raid Improvements

Dev's Note: Voting system has been added to relieve the inconvenience of having to recreate the raid and organize a party in order to retry the raid if you fail during the Bakal raid.
Raid Regeneration:

If you fail Bakal Raid, you can vote to regenerate the raid through Alliance Commander Irene.
This function can be used by the raid commander.
If everyone agrees during the voting process, the raid will regenerate immediately.
When regenerating the raid, the party is automatically organized with the party that was organized just before regeneration.

Dashboard visibility improvements:

Improvements have been made so that you can check the number of boss kills in the waiting room and dungeon.
The number of kills is based on the adventurer with the lowest number of kills in the party.
It will be improved so that you can check the remaining HP percentage of the 3 big dragons and Bakal.
Movement lines and area names in the dashboard are improved more clearly.

Raid Auction / Weekly Auction Changes

Dev's Note: A weekly auction system is introduced in the Bakal Raid. The main items are provided in the form of account binding so that adventurers who have already completed Bakal Raid-related equipment farming can actively participate in the auction. The introduction of weekly auctions is accompanied by further improvements to standard auctions.
Added Bakal Raid weekly auction system. Ozma / Sirocco Raid's Weekly Auction and Special Auction system will end.

Bakal Raid Weekly Auction Items can be checked weekly by clicking the Raid tab "Auction Item of the Week" on the channel selection screen.

"Auction item of the week" is selected for each category, and one item out of the three selected items is randomly added to the auction item.
"Auction item of the week" changes every week according to the specified probability.

The Bakal Raid Weekly Auction system is a separately added system and does not affect the item appearance probability of the existing loot auction system.

Fragmented Abyss Improvements

Dev's Note: We improved the difficulty of farming Fragmented Abyss equipment and reinforced the contents of the guide to help beginners and returning adventurers. In case you made a mistake in the process of selecting a piece of equipment, or if you need to change the special piece of abyssal piece of equipment as you acquire other items, we have made it so that you can acquire one piece you want even if you play Operation: Hope Dungeon only once (Improved dungeon clear reward). We anticipate that not only beginners and returning adventurers, but also adventurers who need to change their equipment will be able to acquire the equipment of the abyss more conveniently than before.
Operation Hope: 1 Abyssal Fragment Equipment (which was a random Abyssal Fragment Equipment reward for clearing the dungeon) is changed to 1 Abyssal Fragment Selection Box.

March 30th Update

Advanced dungeon farming improvements:

Dev's Note: Some advanced dungeons have slightly increased the level of major acquired item options to compensate for the difficulty of growing equipment before entering Legion content.

Dungeon Name	Difficulty	Option Level Before Change	Option Level After Change
Noblesse Code: Dusk	Master	39 ~ 54	41 ~ 56
Destroyed Castle Of The Dead	Master	40 ~ 58	44 ~ 59
Meister's Laboratory	Expert	45 ~ 63	47 ~ 63

Depending on the level of the main acquisition item option level, the level of the item option acquisition level of the related epic selection box and pot will also change.

Improvements and Changes:

Dev's Note: We have improved the tooltip to make it easier to understand because it was judged that the tooltip of the option activated when a certain amount of damage or more was hit could make it difficult to understand the option.

Example of tooltip improvement: Physical and magical defense when attacked -2800 (up to 5 stacks, this option applies only when receiving damage equal to or greater than 1% of total HP.) → Physical and magical defense -2800 when HP decreases by 1% or more due to being attacked (up to 5 stacks)

The tooltip of the option that activates when you are hit over a certain amount of damage is improved.
Item: The class name display in skill-related tooltips is improved to match the class name display in tooltips related to use restrictions.
[M] Capella's Stigma Talisman Selection Box and [M] Unique Rune Selection Box item level restrictions are removed.
Sealed Lock/Sealed Diamond Lock - When the Golden Beryl Box / Flawless Golden Beryl Box appears, the display will be changed to the normal display.

Special function: 3 types

The following buffs and special features are deleted.
