ExStream Confirmations - Feat. Live Director Jong

• DFO ExStream is a traditional live stream from the DFOG developer team where they showcase what contents, event, and sale are coming on the following week.
• The following are confirmed from LIVE Director: Park Jong Min

LIVE Director: Park Jong Min

• Hello, this is LIVE Director Jong, it has been a while since the archer update. I'm glad to be back today. I have been working on the contents planned for next year. We will introduce them to you today.
• These days I have been studying and farming custom epic. I have gather some data from our past custom epic event. The average rate of character with at least 1 custom epic before the event is about 70.84%, after event is about 75.06%. I'm happy this event has positive impact on adventure. It was also cool to see community use the API service to learn more about custom epic.
• Here's the agenda for this stream, DFO Data Analytics, Codename: Gaebolg, and future plans.

Data Analytics

• Since the the Bakal Hard mode, players are having trouble clearing normal mode, so we made adjustment on Oct. 24. After this adjustment, the clear rate seems to go back to normal, but still lower than before. Our team is satisfied with the data right now, and we believe the stat will improve overtime. But we will continue to monitor this statistic.
• We found that there's an account that have 23 characters that have all option level 80. Even the 5th place has 9 characters. A deeper look at this account, and this player has appropriately 58 hours login time per week, and has 30 weekly Bakal raid characters. I'm impressed and hopefully this player takes care of their heath as well.
• As for top 10 players with highest cumulative winning bid in auction after Bakal raid update, 1st place is about 17 billion gold. This player currently has 10 Bakal raid characters.
• From the Duplication event and Level up event, we found that the ratio between buffers and dealers are at the golden ratio of 3:1
• As for Controller Support, it has been about 3 months. At the start, DFOG is about 5 times more users than other servers, and now, it's 10 times more. We're still taking more suggestion and make continuous improvement. For example, we're adding wireless controller for PS, more detail option for dash command, working on adding QoL button like Sell All Repair All, etc. We will keep you updated.

Codename: Gaebolg

• This is the Nov. 21st update and the main content is Codename: Gaebolg. It's based on the Meister's Lab content, but it's a new dungeon. We hope adventure enjoy defeating Gizel with the help of the meisters.
• The main point of this dungeon is to gather Energy Core and Superconductor Energy Core. This is used for the new Insignia system. Since this system is a bit outdated, we wanted to revamp it to fit better with the level cap. It's not just for Insignia, but also other reward as well (e.g. Cube, Card, Legendary Pot).
• You can enter at level 110, you can solo or party, and require 31,489 fame to enter. So new players can enter this content quite early. We wanted DFOG to start this content quickly, so we made DFOG Exclusive adjustment to bosses HP.  We also have modified fast tract too.
• Fast track includes boss pattern improvement and monster reduction, skippable entrance scene and score screen, Gaebolg encounter removed in stage 3, Gaebolg HP reduce for stage 4, increased chance for epic and rare grade advice to appear when selecting Meister Advice.
• The "increased chance for epic and rare grade advice to appear when selecting Meister Advice" fast track. Every time you kill a boss, you get to select a Meister Advice. So what we did is to increase the rare grade advice here.
• Even though the entry fame is low, end-game and higher fame players can also enjoy this content. They can start at stage 3 and 4 to get more material and upgrade their Insignia. Being said, the old insignia system will be deleted and replaced. This new system will be account wide and can be access through Explorer Club tab.
• The basic option are shown here. Both insignia and gens can be upgrade and enhanced. Overall, the new system will give you more stat and fame. We will also release events related to this content to help you progress.
• We will also release Storm-Called Castle along with Codename: Gaebolg. You can get Dark Fragmented equipment and new creature artifacts. The entry fame is different than other dungeon. Entry fame will change from week to week on reset, and is set at top 30% fame bracket (from our previous data, it will be around 44k fame).
• There will be new artifacts added to this content. There's one with the auto-loot function. New materials will be added for this.
• Another update is Guild Renewal, due to insignia revamp, the way you get guild coin will be changed. We also planning reducing requirement for weekly missions so smaller guild can complete them easier. New products are added including repair cost discount, cube, superconductor energy core box, legion/raid material box.
• We plan to merge normal dungeon difficulties to help new players progress quicker. We did fast tract part of this update back in Archer release. It was improvement in equipment growth cost. The gold drop reduction in dungeon was supposed to come with that equipment growth cost patch, but we decided to hold off. With this update, the gold drop reduction will be applied.
• We also make economy changes to Advanced Dungeon Rewards and Tale of Bravery trading. Due to these economy changes, we will provide support for players (e.g. equipment repair cost, events).
• We will include character balance, UI update (e.g. DFOPedia, Buffer equip check, Emblem Recommendation), and QoL (e.g. keep running in dungeon, minion HP display). Report Feature and Official Guide UI are also improved. Please read patch note for full information.
• As for event going with Codename: Gaebolg, we will have level-up event now with more rewards and benefit (e.g. 4 silver amp grimoire). Character fame lower than 33,043 can attend. Thanksgiving is coming, we will have event related to that along with Hall of Dimension event. We will go over these event during ExStream next week.

Future Plans

• Roadmap:
• December - End of Year Events and Gifts
• January - Farming Dungeon, Sale Rehaul, Dr. Oracle's Simulation Training Center Part 2
• February - SEON Update
• December: After Codename: Gaebolg update, December is very soon. We will have the lucky 7 attendance event and twitch drop event. This attendance event is longer (11 weeks) and lead up to SEON update. Some final rewards include rare weapon clone avatar and full 3A avatar including weapon avatar.
• January:
• Farming Dungeon: You can think this as equipment farming event dungeon for adventure. There are still more time until then, we will release information later.
• Sales Rehaul: We're getting over 9,000 new avatar pieces in the Cera shop. This is what players have been asking for. Depends on class, older classes may have more pieces than newer classes. We looked at the highest-priced avatar with October, 2017 and 2018 summer avatars are in high demand, along with 8-bit female mage bobble head.
• Dr. Oracle's Simulation Training Center Part 2: We know you guys loved the part 1, so for this cycle, you can practice Hall of Dimension. We don't know if we can make this a permanent feature like part 1 since there are so many moving part. Will keep you updated.
• February: SEON Update is on Feb. 20th, 2024
• This is a unique area with lots of great lore and character design. I hope adventures will play slowly through this content when you get the time. There will be 6 new normal dungeons, 2 new advance dungeons, 1 new special dungeon. I don't want to spoil too much.
• Seon will have 110 equipment upgrade, mist gear, equipment traits, new material, new custom epics, equipment balance. Will keep you updated on SEON update.
• Along with SEON update, we will have Male Slayer Sprite renewal as fast track.
• March: We will have Dusky Island Update (new legion dungeon), which is close to our anniversary event (kinda like a birthday present).

Other

• Next week is final round for ExStream Tournament VI, these contenders will go to Korea for this, then top 4 players will compete in DNF Fight World Championship in China.
• Finally, Thanksgiving is not far off, our team has a lot to be thankful for, one of it is service for our adventures. We have prepared a gift for you during the Nov 21st update. Overall, this is what we will be getting as special gifts.
• Final words from our Director in English!
