MT The Dream 2.2.5 - Snowstorm on the Horizon

November 30, 2023·
Hail

Foreword

PvE

(Icha/Hail) This patch is focused on balancing and cleaning up some loose ends. Oftentimes, balancing takes a significant amount of our development cycle. At the end of the day, the changes we make are usually within a limited margin, which only ends up affecting a rather small portion of our community. On top of that, balancing is also a lose-lose as we’re working in a situation where classes with the best results tend to have more data- “punishing” players who tried while “not punishing” those who didn’t. Going forward, we believe that focusing more of our time on creating new content is more important than spending an unbeknownst amount of time on balancing.

We have a winter patch coming up which will be released in the following weeks. We ask for your patience while we finalize the patch and add some finishing touches. Until then, this patch is aimed to clean up loose ends with the 2.0~2.2 patch cycle, including things we didn’t have time to get to in the past. Because of this, changes may look fragmented or “out of place” due to the housecleaning style of trajectory we took with fixes.

[PvE] Dungeon Changes

Antaroth’s Abyss

  • Antaroth

  • Reduced HP by 15.5% (35.5b → 30b).

  • Reduced Attack by 11.8%.

Timescape

  • Hemera

  • Reduced HP by 12.5% (24b → 21b).

  • Reduced Attack by 15%.

  • Reduced Attack Speed by 10%.

Design Note: We’ve noticed a difficulty spike with both Antaroth (of Antaroth’s Abyss) and Hemera (of Timescape). To alleviate the issues new and returning players are facing, we’ve applied a few tweaks to make them more manageable (and in the case of Hemera, less chaotic). This will make both dungeons more palatable.

Class Changes

Archer

  • Thunderbolt

  • [PvP] Reload EP now works against players.

  • This is a reversion of our previous change made in Patch 2.2.

Ninja

  • [PvE] Reduced overall damage by 2%.

Berserker

  • Triumphant Shout

  • [PvP] You can now avoid the stagger effect with any i-frame skill.

Mystic

  • Warding Totem

  • You can now cancel the ending animation by walking as the totem appears.

  • This change has been tested to work on all publicly available Skill Emulation mods, but if yours does not support it you’ll need to contact the mod’s author to fix it.

Design Note: While Ninja was obviously leading the pack in many scenarios, we feel that Berserker was only overperforming with specific fight times. For a leaderboard setting, we have no evidence currently that the class can pull this off in general due to the fact the fight would be too fast. A fight time that is too fast and isn’t “padded” results in Berserker not being able to end on Unleash. With that said, we don’t feel that we can nerf Berserker in a clear conscience right now. We share the same sentiment for many other classes, which is the cause of the fairly light balance log this time around. We’ll be keeping a close eye on how classes perform after these changes and make further adjustments as necessary.
