Anomalous Incursion, a New Field Boss, and What’s Coming in December.

Hello Successors,
It has been a while since my last message. I’m Kang Min-cheol, Director of Architect: Land of Exiles.

Following the Radiant Festival and Dual Class update, we introduced the revamped Aburu’s Bounty Festival last week, featuring Naruru and a refreshed lineup of rewards. How are you enjoying the festivities so far?

Today, I’d like to address some of the issues you’ve experienced with Dual Class and share a look at the new battlefields and events coming throughout the rest of November.

Addressing the Issues with Dual Class

First, I’d like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the Dual Class system. In our efforts to balance combat, we overlooked the convenience of developing and preparing different classes, which is an important part of the overall gameplay experience.

We’ve heard your feedback that the class-switching cooldown prevents you from progressing other classes and adjusting their skill builds and setups, making it difficult to prepare a different class. We recognize that requiring you to wait for the cooldown to expire before working on another class is an inconvenience we should have addressed.

To improve this, we plan to allow skill progression regardless of the Dual Class switching cooldown. However, this change requires a game client update, so it will take some time before it can be implemented. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

‘Anomalous Incursion’ A Global Battleground for Successors

In the latter half of November, we plan to introduce Anomalous Incursion, a large-scale PvP mode. Unlike other content, this battle royale-style mode starts all players on equal footing, regardless of their characters’ existing progression. You’ll develop your character within the battlefield and fight to be the last one standing.

Up to 50 Successors can enter the vast battlefield set in the ‘Scything Barrens,’ either solo or in a party. Explore the battlefield to encounter randomly spawning monsters and bosses, and discover various devices that provide combat support. Defeat enemies, make use of these devices, and obtain equipment, Costumes, and Phantom Weapons to strengthen your character and grow more powerful.

The battlefield is surrounded by a magnetic field that gradually shrinks the safe zone as the battle progresses. Successors who remain outside the safe zone will continuously lose HP, so staying in one place to focus solely on character progression is not an option.

You’ll need to make strategic decisions: whether to move in search of better equipment or secure a safe position before other parties do. These choices will inevitably bring you face-to-face with rival parties. We hope you enjoy coordinating with your party members, deciding where to move and when to engage in combat.

Anomalous Incursion also brings Korean and Global Successors together on the same battlefield, regardless of their region. Set aside the usual differences in combat power and test your skills against new opponents. We’ve prepared rewards for participating, as well as greater rewards for parties that survive until the very end.

You can also use materials obtained from Anomalous Incursion to craft exclusive appearance costumes and emotes. I’m personally looking forward to seeing which party will be the last one standing!

Server Transfer and new challenges awaiting deeper in the Abyss.

We've seen our global Successors progress far faster than we initially expected. While we're delighted to see this, it has also presented new challenges. Differences in progression rates and player populations across servers have become increasingly noticeable. As a result, we've received repeated feedback that it can be difficult to find opponents of similar strength on certain servers, and that matchmaking in the Abyss Battlefield has not always been as smooth as expected.

To address these issues, we're preparing our first Server Transfer. We understand that some of you may wish to move to a server that better suits your preferred play environment or join friends and fellow Successors on another server.

To ensure a smooth transfer experience, our development team is carefully reviewing and refining the transfer requirements and rules. Details such as eligible servers, application periods, and which items and progress will be retained after the transfer will be announced separately in an upcoming notice.

Alongside Server Transfers, we will also open Floor 2 of the Abyss Battlefield on November 25, featuring a new matchmaking system. and a new level of challenge. More powerful monsters and greater rewards await, and we hope you'll take on these new challenges alongside your fellow Successors.

Additionally, in response to your continued feedback, we will be increasing the rewards for the Lord of the Abyss and Overlord of the Abyss, making each successful battle even more rewarding.

More things to look forward to this November

Alongside the Anomalous Incursion update, we're also preparing a special check-in event and an exclusive pass. We hope you'll enjoy the new battlefield while progressing through the pass and claiming its rewards, along with the additional rewards from the check-in event.

In November, a new field boss, Abgal, will appear in the Twisted Elysium. Alongside the Field Boss Conquest Mission, will give you the opportunity to team up with your fellow Successors, take on the boss, and earn valuable rewards to help strengthen your characters.

Starting November 25, you'll also be able to participate in a special event in the Abyss Battlefield. Defeat monsters to obtain Relic Chests and earn additional rewards based on the number of chests you open.

On the same day, the Black Friday Golden Rappie Wagon will arrive, offering Summon Coupons, upgrade materials, and more for just 100 Gold.

We've prepared these events so that the excitement of new challenges and the satisfaction of daily progression can be enjoyed side by side. We hope you'll enjoy everything November has to offer and make the most of the rewards we've prepared for you.

See you in December with a New Video Update

In December, we're planning to share news about upcoming updates and events directly with you through a video update.

As we continue preparing new content, we will also remain attentive to the issues and inconveniences you experience in-game. By listening to your feedback, we'll keep making improvements to ensure that Architect: Land of Exiles becomes even more enjoyable and comfortable to play.

As a token of our appreciation for your continued support, we have prepared a small gift once again. We hope it helps you on your adventures.

We hope you'll continue to look forward to and support the remaining November updates. We'll be back to greet you with another video update in December.

Thank you.
