Developer’s Note – February 09, 2021
Greetings, Masters!
This is Dong-Jin Lee from Monster Super League.
Happy new year 2021! I hope you masters are enjoying the new year so far! Every start of the new year, I tend to make resolutions on what I wish to do, and accomplish this year. Likewise, I wish you all the best of luck in achieving all of your goals in 2021!
Here are some of the Monster Super League's update plans for February.
Monster Super League February Update
New Super Evo. Astromon -
Spring blooms in Latecia, and Hana’s vibrant spring energy envelops your garden trees on the Airship once again! It’s not so long until Hana's new Super Evo forms go live in the next February patch, so please keep tabs on our future notes!
4★ Light/Dark Beth
Following the recent discoveries of the new 4★ Light/Dark type Beths, it is said that the new Light/Dark type Shellies were also discovered. And as much as you masters are right now, we are also wondering what sort of abilities they will have. More is expected to be revealed in February, stay tuned!
Dimentional Dungeon (Name subject to change)Masters from the Astromasters' Association have recently discovered the new dungeon, situated in a channel between the continents of Arctica and Rodinia. Inside this particular dungeon, it is said that there is an enigmatic object of what appears to be a stone which could be used to further transcend your maxed-out Astromons even further than what they are. Note that entry will be strictly limited to masters who have leveled their Astromon above a certain level.
New Content - 'Super Ascension’ (Name subject to change)
Rumors are flying around that the explorers from the Astromasters’ Association have named these rather peculiar stones found in the deepest reaches of the dimensional dungeon as, 'Dimensional Stones (Name subject to change)’. It turns out that most of the existing Astromons that have been fully-evolved can ascend even higher to claim even much more greater power, with the help of the Dimensional Stones, according to Zephyros. His research asserts that once an Astromon that has been fully-enhanced interacts with Dimensional Stones, the Astromon begins to attune itself to the magic of the stone, resulting in having a new ability awakened. An awakened ability will manifest as a bonus passive ability.
Stat/Ability Balance Adjustments
Based off of the recent rebalance survey conducted in January, there will be a number of changes and adjustments made to the stats and abilities of the Astromons. Rebalancing Astromons can never be free from risks and biases, and It’s like walking a tightrope between being too biased towards subjective opinions and putting too much weight on objective opinions. As devs when it comes to evaluating gameplay balance, all opinions from different masters must be considered religiously. What’s also subjective is how masters rate Astromons’ abilities, or what abilities are overpowered, or what abilities need buffs. Some groups of players who love trying out often neglected abilities by the majority would rate highly of certain abilities based off their experience. It is imperative that ensuring certain abilities don't become too overpowered enough to throw the league’s current ecosystem off the balance. In terms of changes, more will be revealed in the next patch note coming up at the end of the month. If you have any opinion on balance, don't hesitate to leave it in the comment section!
Other than what is mentioned above, we are preparing for more improvements! Last but not least, we are always listening to Masters’ feedback from all over the globe through Facebook, Reddit, Naver, Lobi, etc. We hope for your continuous love and support for Monster Super League!
