Source: docs.google.com/document/d/1sHedzvjJ_3N1Xj6kKJFdE5rgVFnqj8OPR2M5aYLAKn0/edit
Greetings from the Soccer Spirits Development Team!
It's been over 1,000 days since we first met you, and now we're close to getting to 3 years of service.
We will be releasing a mid-sized update before the 3rd anniversary, and we'd like to talk about the details of that update.
Let us begin with the Developer's Note for the update scheduled to be released on Mar. 1st.
(Please note that this Developer's Note was written during the development process. Things that are written here may be different from the actual update. For more accurate information, please wait until the actual patch notes are released.)
[The Extreme Evolution of 2 Legendary Players]
Presty (Dark) and Jibril (Light) will have Extreme Evolution forms.
<Presty becomes a lady. She has a different vibe from her normal and Evolved version.>
Presty, who has brought a lot of competitiveness back to the Dark attribute, now has an Extreme Evolution form. As she's matured, we expect her to show great presence on the field.
<Jibril regains her wings and becomes a solemn angel. She is different from the innocent and naive angel she used to be.>
Through Extreme Evolution, Jibril has become a solemn angel that stands strong. She will be a seasoned commander on the field.
[Renewal of the Galaxy Super League]
There will be a lot of changes made to the Galaxy Super League.
The biggest change will be the addition of a new tier called the Universe League, where only 30 users in the entire Galaxy Super League are allowed to enter.
<The mark of the Universe League, which is for the top 30 users.>
Those who have ended a season in the Universe League will receive a special chat icon and League Border.
More rewards will be available for the Galaxy Super League.
We will be rewarding the users with special League Borders for each tier to honor the achievements during the previous season.
Also, we'll be making a special Hall of Fame section in the personal profile so the users can check their records of each season.
<The League Border will indicate the performance of the previous season and the mark on the top will indicate the performance of the current season.>
The League Score will rise slower than before in the Bronze - Silver section, and the matchmaking will be more flexible than before.
Users that have climbed up to Diamond or above will start to lose League Scores if there are no tournament activities for a certain amount of time.
Also, we will be improving the UI so that the users can check the information about other teams in a section of the tournament menu.
[Transcendent Power-up Improvement]
Developer A: Drawing the same card over and over seems to cause too much stress. How about we let users exclude characters they've already drawn from the draw?
Developer B: That's a good idea. But what about the users that already drew too many duplicates?
Developer C: Let's come up with a system where the users can increase the Player's stats slightly after 5 Superb Power-ups.
This is basically how we came up with Transcendent Power-up and now it's being considered as an end-game content by the community. But, people started to become hesitant about excluding a character from the draw because of that small window of making their Players stronger in this system.
Developer A: Let's just make the Transcendent Power-up an official end-game content.
Now, there will be a new menu where you can release Players from your team. Only 5★ or higher Players can be released (Special Players not included), and if you release a Player, you will get a special material card named, ""Master Yowu"". You will be able to Transcendent Power-up using these Yowus. You will still be able to Transcendent Power-up like you did before, but now you will have a new way to Transcendent Power-up as well.
- Releasing a 5★ Player: You acquire a Master Yowu
- Releasing a 6★ Player: You acquire an Grand Master Yowu
<Master Yowus and Grand Master Yowus will pass down the knowledge of the released Players to the team.>
- You need 3 Master Yowus to Transcendent Power-up a 5★ Player.
- You need 1 Grand Master Yowu to Transcendent Power-up a 6★ Player.
※ You can Evolve a Master Yowu by putting in 7 Master Yowus including the card that is being Evolved.
Please note that using Yowus will grant the subject Player 1 Transcendent Power-up level as was before.
We will be renaming the system to "Amplified Power-up”. Also, considering that this is now officially an end-game content, we will be increasing the stat increase by 2 times the previous amount.
[New Unique Spirit Stones]
5 New Unique Spirit Stones will be added to the game.
From the left, the Unique Spirit Stones will be named "Garden of Red Flame" (Ardor), "Eye of the Storm" (Whirlwind), "Heart of Minerva" (Thunder), "El Repayon" (Light), and "Residue of Madness" (Dark). The specs of the Spirit Stones will be revealed later.
With the addition of the new Unique Spirit Stones, there will be some changes made to the Spirit Stone Book to make things look more neat.
<New Unique Spirit Stones. What change will they bring to the League meta?>
[Renewal of the Colosseum of Despair]
The Colosseum of Despair will be renewed based on the current meta. With the renewal, the 5 Helpers of the Colosseum of Despair will gain an Extreme Evolution form.
<It's time for EE Elizabeth!>
[Renewal of Attackers]
The Attacker class wasn’t considered as a good class in Soccer Spirits.
Penetration isn't the specialty of Attackers and they are not a class with superb utility. Because of this, we plan to increase the Counterattack Resistance of Attackers during penetration by 30% (up from 15%).
The overall damage reflection, which is currently unified across all classes, will be readjusted to differentiate the classes. We plan to make the damage reflection of Attackers stronger, giving them a merit to use.
We are well aware that this is not enough to fix the problem and we plan to balance the Attacker Players on an individual level as well. More details of the balancing will be available from the patch note in the near future.
[Change of Direction on Skin Creation]
In a previous Developer's Note, we mentioned that our basic philosophy on Skin creation is to not let the original creator design the Skins. We now think that it is inefficient to put a chain on the creative minds and would like to fix this direction.
[End Note]
A lot of things happened along the way, with many cherishable memories as well as mistakes.
We couldn't have achieved this milestone without the love and support of the community and we are greatly thankful about it.
We are working hard to make the Galaxy Live a regular content and are preparing new fresh content, as well as working to perfect the existing ones.
This is all we've prepared for today. We'll see you again when the 3rd anniversary major update "Galaxy Live" is released.
Thanks!
