Hello,
This is Valofe Black Squad.

We are informing you of the known bugs after the maintenance on March 23, 2023, so please check the following before using the game.

[The item in the Steam inventory is not visible in the game inventory]
※ As a result of checking so far, if there is a large number of items in the Steam inventory, it is not paid to the in-game inventory due to overload.
※ The item has not been deleted in the in-game inventory, but is invisible, and it will be normalized after patching.

We will fix it as soon as possible and proceed with the patch.
Thank you.

Hello, this is the Black Squad Development Team.

First of all, we apologize for the urgent initialization of Winner Coin. We apologize again for the insufficient notice and please consider that the Winner Coin will be initialized with the Spring Season open every year.

This development briefing will further explain the improvement of the Juggernaut mode added to the previous patch and the combination system currently under development.

Improve Juggernaut mode

It's a new mode with some room for improvement, but are you enjoying it?

The patch on the next 23rd will be improved as follows to suit the purpose of the plan.
1. Add a Runaway Juggernaut HP bar in the middle of the top.
2. Add a silhouette for clearer recognition of the Runaway juggernaut.
3. Walking Runaway Juggernaut -> Change to running (can't attack while running)
If these functions are added, you will be able to feel a different atmosphere, like the Boss Match.

Combination System

The results of the combination are being developed as follows: there are random elements while considering the direction the user wants.

1. The combination requires three items of the same grade. Acquire a higher-grade item or an item of the same grade when it is successful.
2. In the case of characters, the probability of the characters being consumed is 30% (90% in total) and 10% random.
3. In the case of weapons, the probability of a series of weapons being consumed is 30% (90% in total) and 10% at random.

We are working hard to develop the first patch in April, so please look forward to it.

TP conversion bug
It has been confirmed that the TP conversion bug that has recently occurred occurs when attempting to disassemble and convert items registered in the Steam inventory. In this regard, as a pre-work for the opening of the Steam store in conjunction with the bug fix, the item in the existing Steam inventory was changed to a Black Squad item.

The development team is always listening to the valuable opinions posted by users and will do its best to make the game better.

Thank you very much.

Hello,
This is Black Squad development team.

In this 2nd Development Briefing, we would like to talk to you about future plans with explanation of item grade that has been changed a lot on last patch.

About Item Grade
Item grade is classified as below and this method will be applied to items that will be added in the future too.

1. Classified according to type, option value, effect, etc.
2. In the case of weapons, the higher the grade, the better the option and appearance.
3. In the case of characters, the higher the grade, the better options and more character tuning types.

The grade will be linked to the item combination system that will be developed in the future, and there is room for change, but it is under development as follows.

1. Combining a number of lower-grade items to obtain higher-grade items probabilistically
2. The necessary currency is 'EX Copper'. Higher grade and probability increase the consumption.

Future plan
We are currently developing a new mode based on the spring season patch in March. The concept of the new mode is a fight between Crazy Juggernaut and normal users. It is PVP, but we intended to make like Boss Match. We are working hard to develop it to provide new fun, so please look forward to it.

The development team is always listening to users’ opinions, and we will do our best to make better games.

Thank you.
