Developer's Note - November 2018 Soccer Spirits
Greetings from the Soccer Spirits Development Team!
We wanted to share this developer’s note before October ended, but had to share it today due to a tight schedule.
In this developer's note, we'll be discussing more about the details of the update we've mentioned in the September developer's note.
[New Legendary Players]
Through this update, all attributes and positions of Legendary Players will finally be added. First of all, let's have a look at the silhouette of the new legendary players:
Our goal was to even out the gender ratio in each attribute as much as possible, but due to the ongoing story, it ended up being that both Legends will be released as female. More details about the two will be available through future events.
Next, we will introduce new content and various improvements.
[New Content]
<New Mode>
A new PvP mode will be added. In this mode, users according to a set criteria will be grouped to be in a league together. Users in the same league will face against each other in asynchronous battles during a set period of time. Plus, rewards will be given according to the ranks decided by the final score at the end.
Unlike the Galaxy Super League, where you would focus on your own victory and promotion, users will have to pay close attention to the competition and standings as the wins and losses of other users in the same league may affect the rankings. Therefore, not only should you focus on offensive victories, but also defensive ones as you try to prevent opponents from scoring against your deck.
We’re trying to come up with a concrete plan for this new mode – such as schedule, matching structure, ranking methods, etc. – to provide you with a different PvP experience from that of the Super League.
From this new mode, users can acquire items related to a new growth factor as a reward. Let us talk about the new growth factor now:
<New Growth Factor>
Emblems will be introduced. Each player in the game already belongs to a team like Legend Tiger and Minerva Kingdom, and the emblems of their teams will be used as a new growth factor.
After the update, all players will have one assigned Emblem based on their teams, but in order to grow this Emblem, you must acquire the relevant items obtainable in the new mode. These items will have different properties, and are embedded into the Emblem to make it more effective.
[Improvements]
<Spirit Stone Acquisition Difficulty Downgraded>
The difficulty of acquiring Unique Spirit Stone and 4★ Rare Spirit Stone will be reduced.
When you attempt to combine 5 of 4★ Rare Spirit Stones of the same attribute (and don't forget all must have +15 power up), a pop up will show two non-duplicate Unique Spirit Stones of that attribute, and you will be able to choose which one to keep.
Similarly, if you try to combine 5 of 3★ Rare Spirit Stones of the same attribute, a pop up will show two non-duplicate 4★ Spirit Stones of that attribute, and you will be able to choose which one to keep.
<Stone Comparison UI>
The UI will be improved in order for users to view and compare the currently equipped Spirit Stones and the Spirit Stones that you’d like to exchange at the same time. This new feature will only be available when you enter at Player -> Spirit Stone -> Change.
<Stone Recall>
If the value of the Stone is lowered or its utilization is changed due to the balancing process of Unique/Legendary Spirit Stones, the Recall system will provide an opportunity to change the affected Stone to another Stone. The Unique/Legendary Spirit Stone Recall is a 1-to-1 exchange of the possessed Spirit Stone to a selected one, and the Legendary exclusive property is also a 1-to-1 exchange to a new selected property.
With a Player Recall, all copies of the player are exchanged, but in a Stone Recall, it will be an individual basis with a limit to the MAX number of exchanges made during the recall period. In addition, all information of the Spirit Stone you want to recall will be transferred, and when you proceed a recall, you can redistribute the properties once for free.
Detailed information on the Stone Recall Clause will be provided in a separate notice.
<Superb Boss Schedule>
The 1st Generation of Superb Boss Matches (Yeon, Aslan, Edward, White Guardenia and Alice) will be available at the Shop. In addition, the appearance schedule of each Superb Boss and the Dimension Boss will be changed as follows:
The schedule has already been applied following the end of the Superb Boss Match against Niss.
The schedule of Superb Boss will be rotated as an order of 1st -> 2nd -> 3rd -> 4th -> 1st -> 2nd -> 3rd -> 4th, and the Superb Boss match will appear in every 2 weeks.
The schedule of Dimension Boss will be reduced by 1 week (9 weeks -> 8 weeks) from Zwei which is ongoing at the moment.
The schedules above will be maintained until all 4th Generation Superb Bosses appear and we will provide the further schedules in advance through future developer's notes.
<New Player/Stone Storage>
We tried to increase the number of slots of Player Lodgings and Spirit Stone, but it is difficult to do so as we already have a significant amount of packets* when entering the Lodging screen. As a result, we’ve decided to add a separate storage (warehouse) for players and Spirit Stones.
Packets are sets of information transferred as the game communicates with the server and vice versa.
<Book Search>
A new feature to search players by their names in the Book will be added.
<Removal of skill reset cost and suit/soccer ball skin removal cost>
The cost will be removed, as many users have suggested.
<Modification of the Club Match Ban Rule>
Players who have been banned in the previous Club match won't be banned again.
<Other Improvements>
The latest Unique Spirit Stone and Legendary Spirit Stone for each attribute added will be classified as "New Stone."
Information of the in-game currency you possess will be displayed when you purchase a Skin.
The speed of the animation effect when Special Training players will be improved.
New users won’t have to enter the referral in the process of creating an account anymore. You will be able to enter the referral in the Friend window.

This concludes our introduction to the November major update. We will do our best to develop the new mode and growth factor features in a way everyone can enjoy. Please look forward to the update.
Thank you,
