Hello, everyone! We hope that everyone has been enjoying Palia’s Steam Launch and the 0.178 update! But we also want to talk about some feedback that’s been brought to our attention.
Palia is Currently in Open Beta
We want to clear the air: since our Open Beta launch back in August 2023, the game remains as a title still in Open Beta. Know that we’ll keep our players updated with as much information as possible as we approach what we consider to be our official launch.
We know that there has been feedback regarding our messaging and status on various platforms, but the emphasis is that Palia is free-to-play and available for anyone to try. It is a continuous, ongoing effort, and we are committed to providing patch updates with new content, improvements, and bug fixes well into the future.
In fact, looking at our version, being on 0.178 means we’ve made over 178 updates to the game! Even from the start, and the days of Pre-Alpha, we made sure to include player feedback and have it shape Palia to be where it is today. And when it’s ready, we also plan to have the versioning update from “0.XXX” to “1.XXX” to better reflect Palia’s new status — but even that is not the end. We’ll keep having more patches after, and developing Palia alongside our players. That was one of the primary reasons why we wanted it to be a free-to-play, live-service game.
We invite everyone to be part of this journey.
What’s next?
There’s some exciting content we’ve outlined in our March Dev Update, and some we’re not quite ready to share just yet as they need a bit more time to bake.
That said, we also want to share that additional quality-of-life and accessibility features on the horizon, such as:
Brightness sliders
Colorblind features
UI and text adjustments
To our players, your feedback and support of the game will keep shaping and improving Palia. This is something we extend to all players: new, old, and returning.
★Secret Dungeon Reward ED Adjustment Pre-Announcement
From the overall ED Gain data collected from last year 2023-12-06 Secret Dungeon Revamp update to now, we believe that the polarization of obtainable ED has been partly resolved.
However, we have noticed the ED Gain from Secret Dungeons have increased 4 times since the Secret Dungeon update, and the overall ED Gain up to 2 times. This numbers have far over-exceeded our expectations, and brings concern that it may be a major factor in ED value dropping in the long run. To prevent this outcome, we will be adjusting some of Secret Dungeon ED Gain.
When looking at the ED Gain per CP stage in the Secret dungeon, the farming based on CP has been functioning mostly as intended. We intend to adjust the ED gain only in stage 3 and stage 4, as the amount of ED gained from stage 1 and stage 2 have not been extensive, and we acknowledge the importance of early-game ED acquisition.
We understand that the issue of adjusting the amount of ED gain is a sensitive matter and approach it as such, especially because ED acquisition is directly connected to the game’s economy.
However, even with all this consideration, we believe the current ED gain in Secret Dungeon will have a major impact in future ED value and the overall game economy; therefore, it is imperative to make adjustments now.
The above adjustments will be applied with the 4-24 maintenance. We will continue to check on the issue of ED Gain and make sure that all Elsword adventurers can enjoy a stable game environment.
