NARAKA: BLADEPOINT Banned Players List 2-27

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT - 时崎狂三

Dear players,

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT is committed to creating a fair and healthy competitive environment. We have not only used new anti-cheat technologies, but also established special cheat-reporting reward activities to encourage those players who defend the fairness with us. From now on, players who make outstanding contributions to reporting cheats will get the Legendary spear skin 'Righteous Polearm' .

More details:
1. Players who successfully reported 1 time will get [Immortal Treasure] X1;

2. Players who successfully report 10 times with low misreport rate will get [Immortal Treasure] X10 (In order to ensure the efficiency of detecting, please report reasonably);

3. Players who have successfully reported for many times or made great contributions to anti-cheat will get the Legendary spear skin [Righteous Polearm] X1.

We strongly recommend that players report via in-game report system, so that we can confirm the cheat as soon as possible and record successful report times for you!

From 2.19 to 2.25, there are 9 players who have successfully reported the cheating or hacking in total and get the reward [Righteous Polearm]! We hope that more players can become the Justice Supporter on the Morus Isle in the future.

Dear players,

The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from January 31st, 2024 at 23:00 (UTC) to February 1st, 2024 at 03:00 (UTC). We suggest you log out in advance and enter the game again after the maintenance.

The details for this update are as follows:

Brand New Content

I. New Hero: Shayol Wei

Shayol joins the King's Judiciary as a youth, cracking every case that crossed her desk and passing judgment with unsurpassed skill and speed.

After being dispatched to the south, Shayol follows a trail of breadcrumbs across the country, tracking the criminals' trail for hundreds of leagues.

Shayol Wei, Chief of the Golden Keepers, swears to ensure that the truth will always come to light.

II. Spring Lantern·Rui available for a limited time

The Spring Lantern·Rui is priced at 360 Gold. Open for a chance to obtain rewards like Shayol Extreme Outfit [Rectitude] and the Heng Sword Extreme Skin [Yi's Will].

Minimum Guarantee:
1. Players are guaranteed to receive at least 1 Red (Extreme) reward during the process of opening at most 100 Treasures. This can be triggered multiple times.
2. Red (Extreme) rewards will not repeat until all of them have been obtained.

Wishing Legendary Reward:
If you draw an Extreme cosmetic, you can set a Legendary cosmetic which will be guaranteed when you draw a Legendary cosmetic next time. Times of guarantee can stack, but you can only set 1 cosmetic each time.

III. Fairyland Penglai Brand-new Gameplay

1. Songbird Arena
The Songbird Palace area in Fairyland Penglai has been updated and renamed as Songbird Arena.
Interact with the Arena Monolith to initiate a challenge request to all players on Fairyland Penglai or to specific players. (Challenges to designated players are not limited to being in the same Fairyland Penglai.)

After the player accepts, both parties will be teleported to the Arena for a 1V1 battle!
Other players in the room can spectate and send gifts to support players.

Rules Info

By default, the current hero and weapon used on Fairyland Penglai will be used in the Arena. If you want to change them, please change the displayed heroes and weapons in the lobby.
The player initiating the challenge can set the battle rules, such as the victory conditions, whether to enable the Grappling Hook, and whether to enable skills or ultimates.
"Public Challenge" can challenge all players in the current Fairyland Penglai; "Challenge" can invite the specified player (regardless of their current location), and they will automatically teleport to the current scene upon accepting the invitation.
Navigate to Settings - Social - Fairyland Penglai to customize your preferences for challenge invitations and battle notifications.
Players can only initiate or accept challenges once their account reaches Lv.10 or above.

2. Spring Festival Exclusive
(1) Koi Lantern·Fu
Interact with the Koi Lantern·Fu in the map to obtain a random part of the lantern. Find players who have other parts and complete the lantern together!

During the Spring Festival event, participate in the completion of Koi Lantern·Fu or Castell to obtain event rewards.

(2) Prosperity Firecracker
During the event, a Red Packet Shower will descend in front of the Pantheon on Fairyland Penglai at the start of every hour (based on the timezone of UTC+0).

Moreover, by using Prosperity Firecrackers, you can trigger a Prosperity Red Packet Shower in your name for all players on Fairyland Penglai. There is also a chance to become Caishen!

The rewards for the two types of Red Packet Showers are different. Wishing everyone good luck!

(3) Fairyland Penglai Spring Festival Scene
The Fairyland Penglai is decorated anew to celebrate the coming festival. May you all enjoy good fortune and wealth in the Year of the Dragon!

(2) Engage in the Fairyland Penglai Songbird Arena, whether as a participant or spectator. As the total Trend Points exceed 2,000, the rewards increase accordingly. Aim for higher Trend Points to unlock greater rewards. (Maximum of 50 Fragrant Jades per week).

Increase [Intimacy]

New stage: Void Space. There are three different sub-stages for Void Space. You can unlock them when you clear Stages 25, 30, and 35 in Yama's Abyss respectively. Void Space introduces easier challenges, more blessings and, a longer game.

//Dev Notes: We aim to provide a Yama's Abyss gameplay experience with less pressure, encouraging players to try different builds.

From Stage 26, the Health of all monsters in both Solo and Trios in Yama's Abyss will be significantly reduced (0%–30%, higher reduction at higher stages), and the Attack of all monsters in Trios will be significantly reduced (0–40%, higher reduction at higher stages).

· Now: the damage from [Yang Decay] increases by 160%.

//Dev Notes: In previous versions, Yin-Yang Anima Rings were scarce and challenging to build; in the new version, we hope to address this by lowering quality and adding new Anima Rings.

Changes to Hero Skills - Overview

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT - 时崎狂三

Hey Forerunners,

In this post, we will discuss the upcoming changes to hero skills and explain why they were made. We'll also address common questions and concerns in the following FAQ below. We recognize that this change is huge and changes some of the skills that players may have gotten used to, however, this change was made in the best interest of the game.

1)Why are you making changes to hero skills?

Our goal is to ensure that every hero is viable and can be used in different ways to create an enjoyable gameplay experience for all players. By analyzing the data, we have identified certain skill variants that have very low usage rates. To address this, we are implementing a comprehensive revamp of our skills by streamlining the skill variants from three versions to two more polished options.

2)Why are some skill variants experiencing low usage rates?

There can be various reasons for skill variants to have low usage rates. It could be due to balancing issues, where certain variants may feel underpowered or overshadowed by others. It could also be due to certain variants having specific usage conditions that make them less appealing or practical in most gameplay scenarios. The current meta and player preferences can also influence the skill variants.

These factors can contribute to skill variants having low usage rates, and it is important for us to identify and address these issues to ensure a balanced and engaging gameplay experience for all players.

3)Will all heroes be affected by the skill revamp?

Our newest hero, Shayol Wei, Justice Vigilant, will be the first to launch with only two variants to her skill and ultimate. Eventually, all heroes will undergo a skill revamp to improve and update them—ensuring they remain playable, viable, and aligned with the current standards of the game.

Shayol Wei is currently available on the test server, and players can try her out before she becomes available in the game on JAN 31 PT. Follow this guide if you’re interested and let us know your thoughts!

4)Will these changes make heroes more or less versatile?

We believe that these skill revamps will enhance the overall balance and diversity of hero skills. Each hero will become more versatile and enjoyable to play as these changes take effect.

As always, balancing hero versatility with overall gameplay balance is a priority, and we will continue to monitor and make adjustments to find the optimal balance between hero diversity and competitive gameplay.

5)When can we expect to see these skill revamps implemented?

The skill revamps are currently in progress, and we are working diligently to ensure that the changes are well-designed and thoroughly tested before implementation. You can expect updates from us about these changes to other heroes in the next few seasons. We appreciate your patience and support during this process.

Hero Adjustments

I. Justina Gu

Optimized the pulling effect that occurs when Justina Gu interrupts her dash and initiates a weapon move during the casting of [Shadowswipe] or [Shadowswipe: Blizzard].
1. Fixed an issue where the camera would oscillate when the player rapidly adjusted the viewing angle and switched the target during targeting.
2. The pulling effect of this move will only be activated when Justina Gu's target is an enemy hit by [Shadowswipe] or [Shadowswipe: Blizzard]; if not, the move will not trigger the pulling effect and will simply auto-aim melee strikes toward the enemy.

//Developer's Comment: After introducing the post-emergency-stop pulling effect for Justina Gu, we have observed an increase in players executing thrilling moves with Justina Gu. However, we also recognize that some seasoned players have had a less satisfactory experience due to changes in character control habits. To address this, we have implemented the above fine-tunings for better performance. Moreover, we are in the process of developing a setting that will allow players to choose whether to enable the post-emergency-stop pulling effect for Justina Gu. We will also continue to pay close attention to player feedback.

II. Yama's Abyss Adjustments

1. A preparation phase has been added in Yama's Abyss: Before the battle starts, players can choose one from the Ice Essence, Thunder Essence, or [Blessed Weapon Repair Kit] blessings as their starting enhancement.
2. The Health and Attack of the first Boss have been reduced, while the Health and Attack of the last two Bosses have been increased.
3.
