Ereda Island Rework

• If both teams fight at the tower and destroy it, the team that inflicts the most damage on the tower wins.
• To reach the next checkpoint teams must defeat monsters or towers
• After each checkpoint the teams can select a buff. An interface shows all available buffs that can then be selected by pressing the 1, 2, or 3 keys or by mouse clicking your preferred option.

Group Kickout System

What is the Group Kickout System?

This system removes players from a dungeon when they are no longer actively participating. The system checks player activity and then allows the group to vote on a kick after a certain amount of time passes.

How do you vote for a kick?

• The 'Kick' button appears in the group list
• Group members can vote for a kick by clicking on the button
• If the majority of the group has voted for the kick, the inactive player will be removed from the dungeon during the next load sequence

Further information

• The inactive player will receive a notice message
• The inactive and kicked player will receive the negative effect 'Rest to Reform'
• The Group Kickout System is only active on automatic group searches

Star Rank

Who receives the star rank?

• The best hundredth (i.e. the top 1%) of the S++ players, is however limited to 100 players
