Elite members of the Alpha League: Thank you for your interest in our development progress! As promised, we will officially release "Alpha League" on February 23rd as scheduled. In the past two weeks, due to our intensive work on the final quality polishing, there have been no updates to the test server. Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to preview the updates that will be released on the official server. Without further ado, let's get into the details. [b]Part One: The Opening of Alpha League Season 0[/b] Please join our community to claim benefits, receive firsthand information, and team up with other players: [list] [*] [url=https://discord.com/invite/HBX3n2n4ND]Discord[/url] [*] [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/AlphaLeague/]Reddit[/url] [*] [url=https://twitter.com/BeaveroidAL]Twitter[/url] [/list] We are pleased to announce that Season 0 of the Alpha League will commence simultaneously with the official server release (starting on February 23rd) and will end on May 31st, 2024. At the end of the season, rewards will be distributed based on ranking as follows: [list] [*]1st place in Rank: Title "Season 0 Tyrant" + 20,000 Alpha Coins + 500,000 Beta Coins [*]2nd place in Rank: Title "Season 0 Conqueror" + 10,000 Alpha Coins + 200,000 Beta Coins [*]3rd place in Rank: Title "Season 0 Lord" + 6,000 Alpha Coins + 100,000 Beta Coins [*]Rank 4-10: Title "Season 0 Guardian" + 4,000 Alpha Coins + 50,000 Beta Coins [*]Rank 11-200: Title "Season 0 Warrior" + 2,000 Alpha Coins + 15,000 Beta Coins [/list] If none of the above rankings apply to you, you can still receive rewards if you meet the following conditions at the end of the season: [list] [*] ELO above 2000: Title "Season 0 Navigator" + 1,500 Alpha Coins + 8,000 Beta Coins [*] ELO above 1600: Title "Season 0 Explorer" + 1,000 Alpha Coins + 5,000 Beta Coins [/list] Additionally, we will gift all players with a free "Lizard Sunny" courier if their elo point is above 1200. As a token of appreciation for your support, during the first four-week period of the official server's opening (until March 22nd), the hero synergies level within matches will be set to level 15 for all players. Nevertheless, hero synergy development outside matches can proceed as usual. Meanwhile, we will conclude the test server season at 23:59 BJT/16:59 CET/07:59 PST on February 21st and shut down the test server. Please make necessary preparations in advance. As promised earlier, we will retain all progression for test server players, only resetting rank points, Alpha Pass progress, and 7-day login reward progress. [b]Part Two: Major Updates[/b] [olist] [*] Season 0 version will support 10 languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, French, German, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish. [*] "Alpha League" will also be available on the Epic Games Store, allowing players to play through the Epic Games Store. [*] We have further restricted the resolution of all textures, making "Alpha League" smoother on low-end PCs. [*] We have made significant updates to the in-game interface aesthetics. Although it is not the final version yet, you should be able to already feel the artistic atmosphere of the official server. [/olist] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44786857/e14623d530c9cccc06a918cbbf62a5d69a65585f.jpg[/img] [b]Part Three: Content Changes[/b] Due to some unresolved issues with the animation of "Opal (Sky Mecha)," we have decided to temporarily retire Opal from the hero list. The new hero "Malachite (Crunch Mecha)" will inherit Opal's card level, and the hero mechanics will remain largely the same. The new hero "Nostredame (Spell Master)" will also make its debut on the official server. Nottingham is a grand mage from the "Secret Order," and there is no magic in this world that he cannot master. [list] [*] Talent: Versatility, with each different skill learned, ultimate boost +1%. [*] Ultimate: Starshift, Nostredame always uses the opponent's ultimate. If the steal fails, a normal spell dealing 200 magic damage will be cast. [/list] The new hero "Samuel (The Wrath)" will also be introduced on the official server. Samuel is the first warrior from the "Underworld," a newly discovered Earth neighbor following human advances in drilling technology. The "Hell Shrine" belongs to the underworld, and the people of this civilization excel at breaking enemy defenses. [list] [*] Talent: Demolishing, in combat, opponent's physical damage reduction, magic reduction, and evasion chance -10% [*] Ultimate: Melting Slash, deal 100 physical damage, and over 3 seconds, burn 2% of enemy's curren HP every second (magic damage) [/list] The new map "Lost Holyland" will soon be available on the official server. This was the headquarters of the "Sanctum Organization" in the Middle Ages, and the sanctum, which was once the most powerful organization on primitive Earth, has gradually declined with the advancement of technology and the development of superpowers. The task of reviving the sanctum now falls on the shoulders of the contemporary saint, "Jenny." [list] [*] Map Effect: Every second, everyone heals 40 HP, all debuffs decay stacks +50% [/list] We have upgraded the combat animations of all heroes, so now the combat actions will not be excessively jerky. Models, effects, and original art of heroes like Alicia, Judy, Colin, Emerald, Kay, James, Heimdall, and Sylvie have been upgraded. We have added more than 30 couriers for players to meet in the shop. [b]Part Four: Balance Adjustments[/b] We believe that the current map system has too little impact on the game, and currently, this system seems more like a cosmetic effect. Therefore, we have decided to strengthen the impact of the map system on late-game battles. [list] [*] Space Lab #47: Everyone gets 2 extra artifact dices [*] Hell Shrine: Everyone's healing amount -20%, evasion chance - 10% [*] Necro Earth: Every 1 second, everyone curses enemy by 20 stacks, shield decay stacks +30% [*] Snowline Altar: Every 1 second, everyone freezes enemy by 20 stacks, frost decay stacks -30% [*] Oasis of Khepri: Every 1 second, everyone poisons enemy by 20 stacks, poison settle is 10% faster [/list] We believe that the changes to Jenny in the previous version were effective; she is currently strong enough in the early game but often becomes an unmanageable presence in the late game. Therefore, we decided to make a slight nerf to her late-game abilities. [list] [*] Passive nerf: Healing effect increased 30% -> 15%. [/list] [b]Part Five: Miscellaneous[/b] [olist] [*] The mailbox system will be launched soon. [*] The ranking points reward system will be launched soon. [*] The title system will be launched soon. [*] The number of shards in the 7-day login reward, per hero: from 50 to 500. [*] In the "Daily Treats" section of the store, the number of free card acquisitions will increase from 10 to 50. [*] Bedivere's supply vouchers will be launched soon, providing a more affordable option for Alpha Coins (22 times the value). [*] Shortening optimizations have been made to the skill text descriptions of all heroes and cards. [/olist] As development progresses, there may be additional updates.
