Patch 19.7: Content, Improvements, Party PvP, Colosseum and more!

NOTE:  

The contents patch was split due to this update being too large. There will be another update with more content and notes in the next few days

Rising Optimizer

Our goal is to create the ultimate Dekaron experience for our players. We have developed a new program to help us improve client stability and performance. Going forward we will continue to optimize both the game client and our cloud infrastructure.

• NEW: Rising Optimize - Crash Reporter & Optimizer
  • Whenever the client crashes abruptly a newly developed crash reporter will appear.
  • The client log + crash time + crash code will be automatically sent to us for investigation.
  • NO PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (PII) IS COLLECTED
    • The crash reporter will ask for some information (optional).
      • The more information you provide, the more we can investigate and make improvements
        • For this reason, coins will be randomly rewarded to helpful crash reports.
  • Repair + Optimize
    • The crash reporter will attempt to fix your client when possible
    • The crash reporter will provide recommendations to optimize the game

Mount Abuse & Fair Gameplay

Fairness is one of our highest priorities on Rising.

Although we have stated multiple times that mount upgrading / stat system will be revamped, it has come to our attention that a feature we overlooked was abused. Although we removed the option to get the breakable mounts from Ardeca's stablekeeper, we did not do so for the stablekeeper in Loa/Braiken.
 

• What was abused & How?
  • The Stablekeeper in Ardeca allowed you to purchase a basic mount box.
  • People purchased the mount box, made alts to do it again, then disassembled the mounts for Swift Crystals.
  • Swift Crystals were used to upgrade the mount stats from level 0 to level 10.

• What was the unfair advantage?
  • People who leveled their mount option from 0 to 10 received a minor unfair advantage.

• What about Gear Wheel? Will my option be removed?
  • NO. Gear Wheel obtained from the daily quest was legitamate. We may add other ways to get gear wheel.
  • Options rolled from Gear Wheel will not be removed (just reset back to level 0).

• What steps were taken to correct this?
  • All mount options that were over level 0 have been set to 0. The rolled option is not affected.
  • Example:
    •       <-- BEFORE  AFTER -->

• How do we upgrade mount stats now?
  • Mounts will be revamped in the next update. For now, there is no way, but it is fair for everyone.
