Currently, the most problematic aspect for Nikke players is 'Special Arena'. The Special Arena's season structure was changed and groups were rearranged in the June revamp, which caused several negative issues. As a result, user interest in PvP has also declined.
The July Developer Notes released today included developer comments on the Special Arena. They mentioned that the previous Special Arena revamp was a misjudgment, and the Special Arena will be fully revamped on July 20th.
Some of the revamp details have also been revealed. The most noteworthy part is the increase in rewards. Special Arena rewards will be set at 192% compared to the season rule revamp. Competition stress will also be alleviated by adjusting the rank divisions for reward distribution. In addition, feedback was received that the regrouping cycle of the Special Arena is too short, and they stated that they are reviewing this as well.
Developer comments on skin content, including the skill cutscene patch added to Unique-grade costumes, have also been released.
They received a lot of feedback when the first Unique-grade costume, 'Rupee: Luxury Rabbit', was applied, and skill cutscenes have now been added. They said that they will maintain the principle of providing A/S based on user feedback. In addition, they mentioned that Unique costume reruns are spaced out to preserve their rarity, and asked for understanding that additional reruns will not be done quickly.
They also received a lot of feedback on issues such as the uniformity of costume standing poses, battle poses, and accessories, and the correction work for this part has been completed. From now on, the development process will be reorganized and inspected more thoroughly. In addition, they have replaced the costume pick components with more attractive elements, and promised to continue to look into areas that need further improvement.
Several systems will be introduced to improve the Solo Raid experience. In early August, a function to check and copy the teams of users who have reached the Solo Raid rank will be added. In addition, random patterns will no longer appear in future Solo Raids. In addition, the issue of automatic attacks not working properly against some bosses, such as Mother Whale, will also be improved.
A number of convenience patches will also be applied. Mobile landscape mode, battle UI adjustment function in tablet-PC environment, and damage floater ON/OFF function will be added. In addition, the replay function of the reminiscence system will be improved and a bookmark function will be added so that you can enjoy the scenario more comfortably.
The battle-related parts of the convenience improvements will be applied in August, and the reminiscence content convenience improvements will be applied in September.
New main scenarios Chapters 23 and 24 will be updated on July 20th. This scenario deals with major events occurring in the Ark, such as changes in the circumstances of several characters. The large-scale summer event Part 2 will open on August 3rd. This event includes a barbecue mini-game. In addition, they stated that more content is prepared than the June event, such as the weather changing in the event field.
The Golden Ship event will be held from July 20th. The Golden Ship event is an event to warm up before the large-scale summer event, and the new Aegis Squad character 'Mast' will appear.
