Development Team’s Responses on Season 2 Update Direction

ASTRA: Knights of Veda

ASTRA: Knights of Veda is a visually stunning, story-rich, 2D RPG. A dark plague besets the world of Planis, perptrated through a dark ritual performed by the Mad King. You, and the other Knights of Veda, are the only ones who can bring normality back to the world.

Season 2 of ASTRA: Knights of Veda will be released on 10/31, and as we’re gearing up for that, we would like to sincerely thank everyone for the feedback you gave during Season 1. Thanks to this feedback, we made ASTRA: Knights of Veda a better game for everyone. Through this letter, we would like to let our Masters of the Book know about the direction we would like to take on your feedback for the announced Season 2 changes. We have carefully reviewed every feedback given regarding the changes coming to Season 2. In particular, the expansion of Fate levels to Level 7. We have received various concerns that the change may feel more like a burden than a source of joy. We sincerely apologize for any disappointment this has caused as I, in particular, feel a significant sense of responsibility towards this specific change. While our goal with this change was to enhance the fun and challenge of the game, we understand the frustration that this might cause and thus we would like to present the following measures to alleviate the burden of leveling up to Fate Level 7. [h3][b]1. Based on the number of the times you use Pickups All Out summons, you will now be able to choose and acquire a bonus “Season 1 5★ Pickup Hero/Exclusive Weapon.”[/b][/h3] First, we would like to explain how Pickups All Out works. This Call of the Star summon will feature two types, one for [Knight of Veda from Season 1] and another for [Exclusive Weapon from Season 1]. On the Pickup menu, there will now be tabs where you can select which Knight or Weapon you wish to summon. [Image example] * The example image is from a development environment, and the content of some images may change upon live service.

For example, if you summon for Nec 220 times and for Ellen Farrell 80 times in the Pickups All Out menu for [Knight of Veda from Season 1], reaching a total of 300, you will be able to choose one “Season 1 5★ Pickup Knight of Veda” as a bonus. This bonus can be repeatedly obtained every time you reach the required number of summons. The same applies to the Exclusive Weapons, although the summon counts for the bonus will be counted separately for [Knight of Veda from Season 1] and [Exclusive Weapon from Season 1]. However, please be informed that summon counts Knights of Veda/Exclusive Weapon Call of the Stars for the first Season 2 Pickups will be shared. - Summon counts for the bonus will be shared between “Pickups All Out: Season 1 Knights of Veda” and “Season 2 First Pickup Knights of Veda”. - Summon counts for the bonus will be shared between “Pickups All Out: Season 1 Exclusive Weapons” and “Season 2 First Pickup Exclusive Weapons”. By providing bonus rewards, we aim to reduce the tediousness of trying to repeatedly summon all the while making it easier for our Masters of the Book to obtain their desired Knights. [h3][b]2. We will now be providing three (3) additional “Season 1 5★ Pickup Hero Selection Ticket” to help our Masters of the Book achieve Fate Level 7 for their characters.[/b][/h3] As mentioned previously, we would like to sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by the announcement of the expansion to Fate Level 7. To address this, in addition to the changes outlined above, we will now also be providing three (3) additional “Season 1 5★ Pickup Hero Selection Tickets.” Originally, we planned to give one “Season 1 5★ Pickup Hero Selection Tickets” as a Season 2 Pre-Registration Reward. With this change, users who Pre-Registered will now receive a total of four (4) “Season 1 5★ Pickup Hero Selection Tickets” at the start of Season 2. With the addition of bonus rewards from the “Pickups All Out” and the additional selection tickets, we aim to allow you to be more flexible in choosing your Knights of Veda and reduce the difficulty of leveling up to Fate Level 7. In the future, we will strive to reflect your feedback more carefully and deliver a more enjoyable and satisfying experience. Once again, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused. We will strive to be more thoughtful in incorporating your feedback in our decisions so that we can provide a more enjoyable and satisfying experience. We would like to express our sincere gratitude once again to all the Masters of the Book who continue to show their love and support. In Season 2, various rewards will be available through numerous events, and the ASTRA: Knights of Veda development team will always do its best to repay your support with heartfelt appreciation. Thank you.
