Hi Adventurers!

In our prologue post, we went into great detail about the underlying meaning of Season 9's name "REBOOT". In the future, we will continue to focus on polishing the core experience and quality of the game. Season 9 might seem like a season without any actual content, but in reality, the development team put tons of effort into enhancing the core aspect of the game- gunplay.


The sole purpose of this gunplay overhaul is to greatly increase the depth of play, give each weapon their unique characteristics, optimize weapon balance and improve visual presentation, thus, comprehensively bringing the fun you experience in gunfights to the next level!



In the very beginning, ROE had a design philosophy of using a simplified shooting mechanic, lowering the requirement of entry. However, while this design was very beginner-friendly, it also sacrifices the depth of gunplay to some extent. Some players jokingly call our guns "laser weapons" that are not satisfying nor challenging enough to play with.

So, we looked at a number of mainstream shooters on the market, including CS:GO, Rainbow 6: Siege, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Battlefield 5, and more. On the basis of in-depth study and comparison, we have developed a new set of recoil mechanisms to bring a completely new experience of weapon handling.

Under the new mechanism, different weapons will have different recoil patterns and show distinct personalities. Players can gradually improve their recoil control skills with each weapon through learning and practice. We believe that mastering those weapon controls can be greatly rewarding and provide a great sense of accomplishment to players. At the same time, weapon attachments under the new mechanism will have a more significant impact on the recoil, greatly increasing their tactical value.

▲New recoil patterns


Weapon balance has also been a common topic of discussion among our communities. In order to highlight the characteristics of different types of weapons, we have adjusted each weapon's bullet air friction ratio, meaning the projectile's drop and flight speed attenuation will be more noticeable. This will greatly open up the differences between weapons, and provide a clear identity to each weapon's strengths.

▲Bullet drop-off comparison

We also distinguished the ADS speed for each type of weapon. Pistols, for example, have a much faster ADS speed compared to sniper rifles. And attachments will now affect the ADS speed for weapons as well.

In addition, we adjusted the damage and damage attenuation for different weapon types, such as assault rifles and submachine guns, to further fine-tune the weapon balance.

▲Display of weapon distance damage drop-off (Each weapon has its ideal combat distance)

Lastly, we have added a limb penetration mechanism, the goal is to make the bullet hit the area more precisely, show a more realistic presentation, this also helps with reducing the confusion of inaccurate hit registration.


In the past, a bullet from a weapon hits one part of the target but cannot penetrate the rest of the target, hence situations like "the hand stops the bullet from piercing the body" happens.

But with the limb penetration mechanisms, different weapon types will have different penetration capabilities.

▲Limb penetration in a nutshell

▲Sniper rifle penetration


Visual presentation plays a huge part in building satisfying gunplay, we have started with optimizing the camera shake and scope sway effect during shooting to bring players a greater sense of immersion when engaging in gunfights.

▲Camera shake

The camera motion will be more intense, and it will be directly related to the power and weight of each weapon. The sway of the scope will naturally correlate with the breathing of the character.


A gunplay overhaul with this kind of magnitude takes a lot of testing and iterations, considering the new recoil considerably increased in difficulty, we will first put the patterns to test in the limited-time TDM mode "Heavy Caliber" for players to experience. As always, we will pay very close attention to monitor our data and our communities, and we really look forward to reading some amazing feedback from you, so us devs and players could perfect the mechanism together, and roll out this overhaul to all maps and modes in the game.


Thank you for reading.

[/list]

• New LTM- 4v4 TDM “Heavy Caliber”

• Increased LTM’s experience bonus from 200% to 400%
  

• Weapon Recoil Overhaul
  
  • The weapon recoil mechanic has been updated from the ground up. Different weapons will have their own characteristics, and players will be able to learn and master the recoil pattern of each weapon. Our goal is to bring a deeper gunplay experience to Ring of Elysium by creating actual differences between weapons
    
  • Please note: Players will be able to test out this overhaul in our Team Deathmatch Limited-time Mode "Heavy Caliber" exclusively for the time being
    
• Weapon Balance
  
  • Bullet travel and velocity is being adjusted as well. Depending on how far away you're shooting, you'll start seeing a more noticeable bullet drop-off. Weapons also now have slightly adjusted ADS speed as well- stocks and the horizontal grip will increased the ADS speed, while the 2x, 4x, and 8x scopes will reduce the ADS speed
    
  • Assault rifles and submachine guns' damage and damage drop-off has been adjusted as well
• Bullet Penetration
  
  • New to Ring of Elysium is the brand-new bullet penetration mechanic for certain weapons. Depending on where you hit a target, the bullet may continue to travel through.

  • Weapons with a light amount of bullet penetration are Assault Rifles, Light Machine Guns, and the Desert Eagle. For example, if a bullet hits someone's arm that is lined up to make contact with other parts of their body, the damage will be calculated according to the highest damage area hit
    
  • Weapons with a significant amount of bullet penetration are Sniper Rifles and Designated Marksman Rifles. For example, if someone is behind the first target, the bullet can penetrate the first target and continue to do damage to the second target

Dear Adventurers,


Time truly flies, from Mt. Dione, to Europa Island, and landing at Vera. Ring of Elysium has journeyed through eight seasons with your company, and Season 9 officially kicks off tomorrow!




The ROE development team would like to thank all the Adventurers who have been with us throughout this incredible journey. It is your love and passion that drives our devs forward and stays true to our vision.


Over the past seasons, our development efforts have focused on providing players with more unique features that are fun to play, such as the traversal abilities, tactical abilities, battlecars, and many memorable Adventurer characters.

Throughout that process, we continuously collected and analyzed the feedback and suggestions from the community, and we have come to realize that the fundamental experience of the game should come first. Only through polishing the core qualities of the game can lead to a better experience for our players, and that core experience is crucial. Therefore, we have decided to adjust our direction towards polishing core elements, and present a game that's focused on realism.



▲New Adventurer Character in S9- Hawk

▲New Adventurer Character in S9- Klein


In Season 8, our new map- Vera showed an higher-quality lighting and more realistic environment compared to other maps, which has received positive feedback from players, which backed up our belief that polishing the core experience of the game is the more important task at hand.

In Season 9, we plan to delve deep into ROE's gunplay, implement more lighting improvements, and other fundamental aspects, so that players can experience more realistic graphics and lighting, and deeper gunplay mechanics.


▲Lighting update preview

▲Each weapon will have a unique recoil pattern that can be learned and mastered


We are going back to our roots, resetting our focus to build Ring of Elysium the best game we can, hence the name of the season- REBOOT!
