It's time to cast your vote! NARAKA: BLADEPOINT has been nominated as Best Multiplayer Game in the Golden Joystick Awards on games radar+! Cast your vote here: https://www.gamesradar.com/golden-joystick-awards-2021-nominations/

1. We wish that Bloodsport can have a ranked system, a 3v3 option, more rewards, and maybe add spectators.

First of all, we are thrilled to see that everyone likes this new mode, especially the devs responsible for designing Bloodsport! They really appreciate your love and enthusiasm.
As of now, there is no plan for it to have a ranked system. However, this mode has a hidden MMRs system that will match opponents around your skill level. We are already discussing all the feedback and making considerations about how we can further improve players’ experience. We will continue working hard to optimize this mode in the future.
Meanwhile, we are also designing a new team-based mode that will provide players with refreshing combat experience.

2. Lag spike at the beginning of the game
Most likely, it is because your computer is reading map data. NARAKA's map is huge, so it takes some time to read and process it. As you may know, we have already carried out a wave of optimizations for non-SSD hard drives, and we will continue to do so in the future.

3. Can you reveal more information about the new hero Yueshan?
We don't want to spoil too much of it, but we can provide a sneak peek at his story. Yueshan, the Unyielding, growing up in a military family, had been trained rigorously by his grand-father, and became one of the youngest commanders in the army. His skills will also be closely related to his background, and have an excellent new mechanism. Stay tuned!

4. When will there be a new Dagger skill Souljade?
A new Dagger skill Souljade has already been designed and is currently undergoing internal testing and debugging. It’ll be available in the next update.

5. The Greatsword is too powerful. Everyone is using it.
Greatsword has ranked the top performing weapon for the first time in the past two months. We will carefully evaluate the data and adjust the weapon accordingly to provide a more balanced combat experience.

Dear players,

The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from 10/13/2021 23:00 (UTC) to 10/14/2021 03:00 (UTC). We suggest that you log out in advance and enter the game again after the maintenance.

4. If both players are still alive at the end of the round's time limit, the victor will be determined according to the following, in turn:
(1) The player dealt higherdamage.
(2) The player with higherremaining health and armor at round end (if both heroes dealt the same amount of damage).
(3) If players' remaining health and armor are also equal, the one who first caused damage shall be the victor.
(4) If neither dealt any damage and were of equal health and armor, one will be determined the victor at random.
5. In Bloodsport:

Dear Forerunners,

This week, we take a closer look at what is coming to the game very soon and some details about what is in the works for NARAKA: BLADEPOINT.

1. The new game mode that you've all been waiting for

Yes, you read this right. This week, a new and exciting game mode, Bloodsport, is coming to NARAKA!
Bloodsport is a melee-focused 1v1 game mode where players face off against their opponents by dueling them one by one as they make their way to the top.
This mode will truly put players to the test! After all, becoming the best of the best means mastering all heroes and melee weapons.

2. About the weapon and character skill balancing

'Nerf this weapon/character... ' - Yes, we hear your requests and have been paying close attention to the feedback from players on balancing certain characters and weapons. For now, we would like to assure you all that we are working hard in the background to align the community's requests with what we see in the game data to improve the gameplay experience for everyone.
We will release the balances once we have come to a satisfactory solution.

3. Issues with fps droprate

After the September 28th update, some of the NVIDIA graphics card users are unable to use the [DLSS] function. Now with the latest patch, the [DLSS] function will be back working normally as intended.


This is all we can share in the FAQ for this week, but stay tuned! We have some exciting community events in the works, more details to come soon! We are also planning to cover more languages to make our news and content more accessible for our players on social media! Keep you posted!

1.Malicious Teaming

We do not tolerate any form of malicious teaming. We have been working to optimize the reporting process and handling current player reports.

Now, when reporting a malicious teaming incident on our official website (https://www.narakathegame.com/reporthacker/), you can attach a picture alongside your report to provide evidence. In addition, a successful detection of collusion will grant the reporting player with an Immortal Treasure and be notified by an in-game mail. Once the teaming is confirmed, the teamer will not only be banned from matchmaking but also punished by a rank decrease.
Our goal is to provide a fair game environment with strict standards to crack down on malicious teaming.
Of course, this is not possible without the cooperation of our players. We hope that players who encounter teaming will provide us with POV, video, or screenshot.

2. Are there any new events/features/content coming?
The development team is always working to bring fresh new content for our players.
The new Koi Bonanza event will begin following the 9/28 update. The daily quest rewards (character experience, BP experience) that players receive will be doubled. Please see the update announcement for more details: https://www.narakathegame.com/news/update/20210927/33459_975305.html

Now it’s easier to find your friends on steam!
- Players’ Steam friends will have a special steam icon next to their names in NARAKA
- The in-game friends list will include a Steam category where you can find your Steam friends.
- We added a Steam overlay into our game, allowing you to talk to your friends through Steam.

In addition to all notes, we are preparing some new, exciting content, which will be available to players soon, so stay tuned!

3. Is there anything planned for improving the match making for a better game experience?
We are aware that many of our players experience poor matchmaking. This is a rather complicated issue which is caused by many different factors such as network connection quality, player skill evaluation algorithm, matchmaking algorithm, and others. The Dev team is actively investigating these issues and will gradually roll out online updates to mitigate the problem. Thank you all for your patience and understanding. We welcome any feedback and suggestions.

**The National Day of the People’s Republic of China will span from October 1st to October 7th. For that reason, next week’s FAQ will be delayed to the week of Oct 11th . Not to worry, however, as we will continue to collect feedback during that period. We thank you for your understanding.

1) Reduced the Rage granting speed after Tarka Ji's ultimate [Blackout: Frenzy] in The Bloodbath.
2) While Tarka Ji's ultimate is in effect, he loses all [Wave Roll] Souljade effects. Players may still punch as usual and consume Energy.

3. Viper Ning
1) Improved the hit determination and animations for [Yushan Enigma] and all its variants when jumping.
2) Reduced the stagger duration for downed enemies hit by [Yushan Enigma: Lockdown] and [Yushan Enigma: Enfeeble] to stay the same as those standing enemies.

4. Yoto Hime
1) The first three strikes of Yoto Hime's ultimate [Ominous Blade] and all its variants now briefly stagger Tianhai when he's in Vajra form.
2) Adjusted [Ominous Blade: Restore]'s effects: it no longer absorbs Cairns. Now, she gains a large amount of health and armor with each strike that deals damage (with priority given to health recovery).
3) The first three strikes of [Ominous Blade] and [Ominous Blade: Combo] grant Yoto Hime certain health or armor recovery upon dealing damage.
4) Slightly increased the distance that Yoto Hime launches her blade after swinging it with her ultimate [Ominous Blade] and all its variants.
//Given Yoto Hime's poor mobility while using her ultimate, she's often left unequipped to deal with enemy Vajra. Following these changes we hope to see them more evenly matched. The newly-added restorative effects should also slightly improve her survivability.
