Future Changes Following the Channel Unification

http://www.megatenonline.com/news/archive/news2466.html

18th of February

- Will be able to sell things at the Yagiya in the fields
- Increase the influence of LNC
Characters that are deep in the same alignment as Souhonzan or Arcadia (i.e. Chaos for Souhonzan and Law for Arcadia) will be able to receive good status buffs from new NPCs that are introduce there. It will be beneficial to visit them before you embark on a dungeon exploration trip.

The following anti-botting tactics will also be enforced:

- Unattended characters will be logged out
Some people are leaving their characters AFK in location like dungeon lobbies, and this causes inconvenience for other users. In order to prevent this, users will be logged out if their characters are left unattended for a certain period of time.

- Change to revival options
Excluding non-instanced dungeons, the “revive at this location” option will be removed from the fields.
The use of revival orbs, recarm, sama recarm and balm of live will not be affected, and will function as before.

In addition, we will be modifying the client to reduce stress on our users’ PC.

We will be optimizing the processing speed of certain actions with this change.

We will also be fixing a memory leak that is causing worsening lag in areas like Suginami mines and Ichigaya garrison.

We will also be fixing the following bugs:
- Unable to form party during Versus
- The behavior of some items
- Channel change still shown as a command
- Camera/chat being reset during an area change


25th of February

We will mainly be targeting hunting ground issues with this patch. Here are some things that we’ve decided.

- Spawn area of new moon angels in Shinagawa.
The new moon angels in Shinagawa will now spawn across a wider area. This it to prevent people from crowing around the same area.

- The delay in which invasion mob spawn will be shorten.
The spawning delay of the invasion mobs that spawn during the invasion event has been shorten.


Even more proof of Cave’s incompetence. Channel unification have been completely thought and tested out.

Most of the changes they are planning won’t even affect anything since no one is going to sell things to the Yagiya. People won’t hang around Souhonzan/Arcadia since they are so far away from any dungeon.

Depending on what they define as a “certain period of time”, the forced logout might cause a huge bunch of inconvenience.

Unless Dominion’s spawn location is changed, people will still crowd around Arcadia’s gate since new moon angel xp is dependent on how often you can kill Dominion and the angels that spawn with him.

Inb4 Cave causes an even larger memory leak with both the client and the server software.
