Dear Adventurers,

This is Sang-Wook Woo, Producer of the Seal M development team.

Today, I am writing to talk about the Rift content that was updated yesterday for adventurers, rather than introducing regular updates.

The PVP system that adventurers have been waiting for with a lot of interest has been updated with Rift content, but I think that the adventurers' high expectations were not met due to some bugs and balance issues.

Yesterday's update was a different challenge compared to the previous big updates so far, and it was a special update that could determine the next direction of Seal M.

That's why all the developers participated in the Rift content on various servers with adventurers from the update until dawn and experienced it firsthand.

I was able to confirm what works and what doesn't work as intended by playing together, such as chasing and being chased by some adventurers during PvP, and concentrating on conquering Galadriel even in a crowded situation.

We feel sorry for not being able to show you the best results in all areas, and we went through the process of fixing unintended problems overnight, and even through today's emergency maintenance, we will fix as many issues as  possible that cause inconveniences to adventurers to make the Rift a better content.

1. PvP damage correction

Currently Seal M is a PvE-oriented game, and this time PvP content was added for the first time.

Therefore, in PvP, we had to make some changes to the damage formula.
However, during this process, it was confirmed that the difference between the ideal situation assumed by the development team and the current situation that actual adventurers experienced was different than expected.
As a result, it was confirmed that the "counterattack button" added to the upper left of the attack button was meaningless, so the faster tempo PvP battles were taking place.

Of course, we could see that some adventurers changed their equipment or stats to suit the situation, but we are aware that it is difficult for all adventurers to change their equipment to adapt to the current situation.

Therefore, we would like to lower the currently applied PvP damage.
There were several discussions within the development team as to whether this value was appropriate.
If the nerf value is small, there may be no change, and if the nerf value is high, PvP battles may become boring.

We hope that this adjustment will make PvP more fun, and we will consider whether additional modifications are needed through continuous monitoring and feedback from adventurers.

2. In addition, the following unintended matters will be modified.

1. The part where PvP cannot be done while you have a couple will  be fixed.
2. The problem that skill cooldown reduction / health recovery through skill did not work in certain situations will be fixed.
3. The part where Galadriel is displayed as appearing even when it is not the time for it to spawn will be fixed.

Some bugs other than Rift's  will be fixed, which will be announced later through other announcements.
The development team is currently working on additional improvements listed below, but we regret not being able to update during today's temporary maintenance due to the need for a development and testing period.
We will develop and test it quickly so that it can be applied to the live server.

1. In addition to skill option enhancement values, balance adjustments will be made for all jobs.

2. Conditions for resetting Rift Boss Galadriel's HP will be adjusted.
3. Guild-level rewards will be added to the Rift boss Galadriel rewards.
4. A function to easily recognize the skill activation of the Rift boss Galadriel will be added.
5. Contribution list will be improved that you can always check it while fighting the Rift boss and know the remaining time.

We will continue to be a development team that strives to become a better Seal M while playing alongside adventurers.

Lastly, next week's Dev Note will introduce a new class that will be updated at the end of this month, so please look forward to it.

Thank you.
