[Patch] 09-03-2025

Mar 9, 2025

I'm partially back from my RL obligations, so it's time to resume our patch routine. I would have loved to bring new content this week, but unfortunately, time constraints made that impossible.

However, expect another patch next weekend with events aimed at gearing new (and not so new) characters.

GENERAL:

  • Improved game client performance by up to 50% (varies by system & situation). Known Issue: limiting FPS to 60 causes visual glitches on the stone bridge in RDN stage 1.
  • Improved serverside performance.
  • Attempted fix for skill ghosting at high action speeds.
  • Added Battle Howl, Raid, and Incarnation of Darkness to the BTG buff list.
  • Attempted fix for certain player disconnections at portals.
  • Hong Kong has been removed from SHD's SEA region schedule.
  • Inject & Inject EX can no longer hit summons.
  • New setting in DNO Custom Tab: "Display CDR directly". This displays cooldown reduction directly on skill icons instead of speeding up the cooldown visually.
  • Fixed an issue allowing minimum physical ATK to exceed the raid limit.
  • Speedrun Board has been reset.

What's Next?

As mentioned, next weekend brings new events, including Rumble mode, focused on gearing both new and existing characters.

There's also a potential new challenge planned for the end of this cap: a new raids only garden-like map. SDN, GDN, DDN, and BDN (two per week, rotating) will be rebalanced and serve to upgrade current highest-tier gear (not replace it) preparing for an increased difficulty of RDN (Chaos).

This concept isn't finalized yet, so more details will be shared later, but this is aimed towards anyone that would like more challenging content.

And yes, I didn't forget about Machina.
