MT The Dream 1.8.4 - A Fine-Tuned Fight
Adventurers, a new patch is coming!
PvE
As for our upcoming content, we’ve been hard at work and hope to have more solid previews soon. As previously mentioned, this is our largest patch to date and we want to make it as good as we can; only showing previews when we can guarantee its quality. We understand that some of you may feel burnt out with our current content, but our stance on this for now is that we’d rather take our time to assure quality than to rush a poor product. Take things easy for now if you need to, so that you can have more energy to enjoy the new content on release. Not only has our team been hard at work on this, but we’ve also been trying new things. As we frequently mention, we have far fewer resources than a company like Bluehole, yet we’re trying to push out much larger patches in much less time. We also have our own lives outside working on the game, and many of us have been hard at work for 8 or more months. So we kindly ask for your patience and support while we get over the final hurdles.
PvP
We’ve been listening closely to your feedback and we’ve been hard at work to improve our Open World PvP experience. If you have any feedback, we’d love to hear it over on our Discord! We aim to release new open world activities similar to GBAM as well as a new jewelry set soon. To many of you, the meta is growing stale. It’s becoming too focused on a few classes in both mass PvP content as well as more competitive content like Champions’ Skyring. On our side of things, we want to adjust the meta to adjust the classes that are overtuned while also spicing up the current PvP meta. Unfortunately, these changes are taking a lot of our time due to a mix of the game’s code, skill emulation issues, or unforeseen PvP impacts. This is the reason why our balance changes have seemed incomplete, as we’re shipping what we can when we’re confident in its state. On top of this, we’re still working to establish and settle the PvP team to be more robust, similar to what many grew accustomed to with the PvE team.
Thank you for your support and patience. We can’t wait to show you what we have in store!

Design Note: The changes to Arcane Storm are welcome in PvE, so all fusions can hit at 15 meters. This change is similar to one that was made by Bluehole: moving Nova forward to increase the range of the class. We don’t know how it’ll feel in PvP, but it should breathe some fresh air into the class. That said, balancing Sorcerer is quite difficult since it’s incredibly strong in open world mass PvP content, but lacks damage in neutral during 3s.However, the class has Crowd Control, so it’s a tight line to walk between giving it enough but not so much that it becomes overbearing.
- We will continue to keep an eye on the class and make adjustments over time, as there are some clunky aspects to the class which will help it more than just increasing damage might.
Valkyrie
- [PvE] Reduced overall damage by 3%.
- During Adrenaline Rush, increased overall damage by 6.1%.
