Hello guys, Before we start the post, we’d like to say thank you all for participating current beta service and joining our community.

[b]Through this post, we will share our major tasks which will be discussed and developed during January 2019 to gather feedback from users to ensure that our direction of development continuously stays on right track.[/b] (For the dev issues mentioned below, please be informed that there might be a change or changes in tasks due to certain unexpected circumstances.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [h1]1. New and fixes for in-game function[/h1] [list] [*] [b]In-Game event UI[/b] [/list] - Since the game rule might cause some confusion to new players, we will add the event UI that shows each event’s condition and progress (Dragon’s Jade spawn time, poison&lava trap condition…) [list] [*] [b]Marking function for game map[/b] [/list] - It is a basic function for most of battle royal game. However, we didn’t include this function in beta service and will be updated on next beta service. [list] [*] [b]Navigation system for major objects[/b] [/list] - It is a system which will be developed in January that provides information for the major object (landmarks, ruins, mysterious lady…) by showing direction with arrows on mini-map based on current player’s location.
