UnOfficial Updates in 2017 [Reddit Post]
Reddit. So there was a Summoners War conference/party in Korea today and there were some very important things discussed regarding future updates. Now this information is from the official Naver Cafe and is briefly summarized from a user who compiled all the information from various posts from people who attended , so I apologize for the lack of details. Esports
- Tournaments
- New “Friendly Tournaments” (Not sure how this differs from “Goodwill Battles”)
- Global On/Offline Tournaments
- Improved Guild Communication
- New Co-op content
- Increased affiliation and utility (Guild Buff, Guild Level, Guild Presents)
- Improved Guild accessibility
- 3 Way Guild Wars
- Capturing Points/Areas Battles
- Homunculus -> New Light and Dark Support types
- New Craftable Items
- New Light Monster (Not Light Ifrit)
- Update will be late 2017
- A place where you can use some of the less used monsters. (I think this might be like quest-type battles, like “only damaged by fire-type defense monsters” or “only damaged by 3star wind monsters” etc)
- Regarding the Speed Meta – Hard to make a sudden drastic change because the users have six-starred runes and monsters according to the meta. But in the future they will make monsters with RNG and variability, so that being faster doesn’t always equal wins.
- Buffs regarding L&D Nat 5s – “I also pulled a L&D Nat 5s and most of the chat was ‘RIP’. We are working hard trying to give more utility those mosnters. Expecting updates to L&D monsters as well as others. Can’t discuss specific monsters. They might seem useless right now, but we will try to make new content in which they can be used”
- Will you re-sell the Transcendence scroll? – “I actually want ask (for permission) the users. We worried a lot when we first introduced it because people might think we are greedy. (but you are…?) We are thankful the users are positive about it. It won’t be sold again any time soon since it guarantees a Nat 5, but I won’t say that we don’t have any plans to sell it sometime in the future.”
- Rune Storage – “One thing we are proud of Summoners War is our technical skills resulting in short loading times. Now the 500 rune spaces are included in the technical skills, I want you to know that it is not easy to suddenly increase the storage significantly. We are pondering whether the storage space is actually the problem. In fact, seeing how it is not easy to newly set and change runes, increasing rune storage doesn’t seem like the correct fix. We are preparing for a new and more efficient rune management system by this year.”
