Phoenix Announcing Phoenix #3 - Bring the Light!

[ADMIN]

Hello OldSquaders,

The cold season is 'almost' over and spring is knocking on the door. There's something else except of higher temperatures to think at when talking about spring,
and that's PHOENIX!

Our Project Phoenix is rising once again, hitting its third edition and bringing some freshness on our community and a new challenge for those seeking of a fun journey in our MU world.

Phoenix #3 is featuring our Arena Tournament V2, a more compact gameplay, a bit slower paced progression and tweaks across characters & economy.

Grand Opening: 02 April at 19:00 GMT+3 (Mobs will spawn at 20:00 GMT+3).

We want to highlight the biggest gameplay change that it has, as always you can consult our official information topic for everything you need to know:

Instead of 10 optional resets, Phoenix is now offering only 5 optional resets, cutting some of the "boring" resets.

This means that once the Non-Reset part is completed, you'll enter directly the End-Game Quest part, to unlock the 5 extra resets.
The reset bonuses were reworked to further reflect our new compact gameplay that is more balanced, less boring and provide more action across your gameplay.

Extra changes worth mentioning:

• Longer & more balanced breaks.
• Slower level 1-400 progression.
• Some of the content released along with breaks as well as content released at a SET time.
• Increased a little the difficulty of farming excellent items with 2 options.
• Lower levels of BC & DS have their monsters cut to both have an easier difficulty and in the same time to reduce the EXP boost compared to the number of mobs from spots on lower maps.
• Gens Raids will now be released along with Mercenary Squad, which means battle maps are safer on first weeks but also only having a 5% EXP boost instead of 12% (until Raids release).
• Breaks are having rewards for everyone that progressed them based on how many levels they made during the Break.
• The amount of spots across the game that have +1 mob on the same type of spots is now 50% (from 30-35%). So you'll have 50% standard spots and 50% +1 mob spots.
• The EXP bonus for 2 people and 3 people in party is now higher than solo EXP, as well as the GOLDEN bonus for party of 4 and 5 is increased.
• Other tweaks across economy, drops, events & so on.

Characters from last Phoenix were pretty balanced in terms of their pros and cons, but we also made notes at the end of the last edition, so here are the main characters changes:

• Berserker max rate for Summoner has been reduced (a small nerf to SUMM PvE & PvP on mid-late game).
• MG can no longer use Cometfall (direct nerf to EMG PvP & Hunt).
• Small buff to SM, SUM & BK PvM damage.

More than that, Phoenix #3 is also featuring most of the improvements, fixes & features that were worked on Inception in the last 6 months (and there are hundreds), adapted for Phoenix.

While most of information is updated, there are still things left to be added to the info as well as maybe few changes before the Phoenix actually starts.

Prepare yourselves for another great journey brought to you by OldSquad Community!
