Hello guys [h1][b]The server will be closed for the maintenance today(19th of July 16:30 PM KRT) for 4 hours.[/b][/h1] This maintenance will contain various updates and changes for the game and we believe it will bring more fun to the general game-play. [h1][b][Summary] [/b][/h1]  Like we’ve shared the basic thoughts for this update, this patch contains a various major & minor change.  Gado, which is our current game map has been reworked with smaller size, object and field optimization and several changed game rules.  New Weapon type, “Gauntlet” has been added.  Basic balance for the game-play including the combat balance has been optimized  Major & Minor bug fixes including sounds, animation and UI [h1][b][Rework on Gado] [/b][/h1]  There were two island which connected by bridges. And because of feedback that we’ve received frequently, we’ve decided to minimize the map size by using right side of island only and extend the island’s shortly to optimize the game play.  Therefore, the Gado will now contain 5 Ruins, 3 Dragon’s Jade, and 1 Altar of the Dragon during the game-play.  Basically, there are 3 Dragon’s Jade out of 5 Ruins and one of the Ruins will be selected as the Altar of the Dragon  There will be only 1 Mysterious Lady at a time during the game-play.  All locations for the item spawn have been reworked and re-balanced. [h1][b][Change of Game Rules] [/b][/h1] Because of the rework on Gado which mostly related to the issue that the game area has been minimized, the basic game rule has been changed.  When you activate the Altar, if other players in the area of the activation, the time to finish the activation will be paused.  Once you activates the Altar, the Dragon’s Jade will be removed from your inventory and be placed at the center of Altar.  If you’ve been eliminated by another player during the activation, the player who eliminated your Character will take over the activation immediately.  The time to finish the activation has been decreased to 90 seconds (120 seconds at the original version).  The time limit for the lava trap to be activated has been decreased to 660 seconds (750 seconds at the original version).  The limited area that starts when player activate the Altar has been decreased to 20 meters (100 meters at the original version).  The activator of the Altar won’t be affected by the Deadly fog anymore.  Player won’t be affected by the damage from the falling anymore. [h1][b][New weapon type: Gauntlet] [/b][/h1]  The concept of the Gauntlet was motivated by several Chinese traditional Kung Fu.  In 9DKA, the Gauntlet will have extremely short and narrow attack range, but it can be deadly at close range with stun, knock-back and the combo attack.  You can also check the weapon skin from the lobby.
