On 10/2 we released an update introducing the new gamemode, Beast Battlefront, alongside the Knight of Veda Bikki. We have gathered your feedback regarding this update and would like to assure our Masters of the Book of our commitment to improve. Following this update, we will respond to comments received through various channels in sequence. [h3][b]1. “I’m satisfied with the addition of new PvE content that provides weekly rewards based on rank, as it provides additional motivation. However, it would be good if more products would be available at the Beast Battlefront Shop. In addition, a function to view the Knights setup of those in the leaderboards like in Battlefield of the War Gods should be added.[/b][/h3] The Development Team has identified several areas that need improvement for Beast Battlefront. Rest assured that we are hard at work working on this and the other issues mentioned. In particular, Beast Battlefront Season 2 will introduce various strategic elements to help players achieve higher records. We are carefully considering not only balance, but also ways to make the gameplay more engaging, such as adjusting battle time, difficulty levels, and the utilization of buffs and debuffs in determining what adjustments are to be made. We are also preparing a practice mode that allows you to access Beast Battlefront related content without using up “Guiding Lantern”. We will also be improving the user experience, by updating the results screen to now show both your current and best record in addition to, as suggested, a function to view the Knights setup of those in the leaderboards. With all this in mind, Beast Battlefront is just the beginning as we plan to add more ranking-type PvE end-game content in the future such as Celestial Trials, World Boss and Guild Boss during Season 2 alongside PvP content such as Tournament Battle. [h3][b]2. While 5★ Knights of Veda have been released every update, we have noticed that ever since Death Crown all released have been female. Are there any male Knights of Veda in the works?[/b][/h3] Male Knights of Veda currently slated for release include Aslan Liongray and Asha, the leader of the Liongrays and one of the Shadows of the Dark Night. We are also still continuing to think about adding more male Knights of Veda, pulling from the game’s vast lore for characters to base the new Knights on. [h3][b]3. With the limited daily supply of Adventurer's Shoes, it's difficult to obtain the desired relics and the necessary skill materials simultaneously. It would be helpful if a replacement function for skill upgrade materials could be introduced, similar to the replace feature for knight ascension materials and weapon ascension materials.[/b][/h3] We completely understand your concern and will work to address this as quickly as possible. In the next update, we will introduce a skill upgrade material replacement function and improve accessibility by making skill upgrade materials obtainable through shops and events, in addition to Veda's Nightmare. [h3][b]4. The appearance of the mascots that can be obtained from the “Simon’s Amazing Gifts” event looks unique. Are there any plans to add new ones besides “Treasure Keeper” and “Coco”?[/b][/h3] We will continue to add more mascots and are planning for fun designs that reflect the seasons and various holidays. We will do our best to present them to you in a satisfactory manner. This is an overview of what Masters of the Book users might be curious about regarding the upcoming update. On 10/31, Season 2 of ASTRA: Knights of Veda, titled ‘Tears of the Goddess,’ will be released, featuring a new story, a new area, and a level cap expansion. Fate and weapon refining levels will also be expanded, and with this increase, the opportunity to increase the power of your Knights are provided. For Masters of the Book who have maxed out their Knight’s Fate levels and have at some point received at least one more duplicate copy from Call of the Stars, it will be counted retroactively and an additional copy of the Knight of Veda will be provided so that you can upgrade the Knight to Fate Level 7 immediately. In addition, we plan to provide an additional “Weapon’s Oblivion”, which can reset the enhancements made to weapons, to all Masters of the Book. We hope this will be an opportunity to quickly secure the materials needed to upgrade a weapon to Refinement Level 7, in addition to rewarding all your efforts as you take on the new challenges brought about by Season 2. Additionally, Oblivion items, which allow for the reset of Accessory and Tunic enhancements will be added, along with various exciting events. Other content previously mentioned will be rolled out sequentially. We appreciate your continued anticipation and support. We're working hard to bring you an even more thrilling adventure in Season 2 and will quickly share the post-update roadmap. Thank you!
