We say goodbye to Santa Orc, as he walks away all battered and bruised from all of you beating his ass for pouches. Anyway, this patch ends the Santa Orc event. We also made some PvP changes, added more cash shop items, and some other random small things.

Santa Orc

We hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and/or holiday season, and hope for a great New Year for all. Santa Orc is tired and bruised and needs another year to nurse his wounds. Thank you for your service, Santa Orc!

• [Santa Orc's Run] is no longer accessible
• [Snowflake Pendants] are no longer dropped
• [Santa Orc Shop] will remain open for another 1-2 weeks
• [Santa Orc Pouches] do not expire

Servers

• As mentioned in Discord, we've added a new CN Hong Kong region as an alternative to SEA Singapore
• (Experimental) Server tick rate can now be adjusted on the fly when we want to. You can see the TPS of your game room on the ping meter (XX TPS, far right)
• Servers now send more information about certain buffs, events, etc which will be used to hook up new features in the client in the near future

Guilds

Guilds in the recruitment listing ([G] menu when you aren't in a guild) are now sorted differently:

1. Guilds that have postings in the Discord #guild-recruitment channel (check them out!) are sorted at the top always (pinned)
2. Guilds with the most members currently online
3. Guilds with the most members registered

We plan on increasing the maximum size of guilds from 300 to 999 in the near future, stay tuned!

[PvE] Class Changes

/\c37\War Mage

• You can now chain cast [Awakened Nine Tail Laser] by holding down the [Regular Attack Button]

/\c78\Defensio

Defensio is the only tank that can't reliably tank the Cerberus breath attack in Rune Dragon Nest. These iframe improvements should help you dodge tank better.

[Trick] invulnerability time increased: 30f --> 50f
[Twister Kick EX] NEW: invulnerable from the moment you lift from the ground until you touch the ground (includes spacebar input)

[PvP] Content

PvP Combo Practice Room

• The old PvP combo practice room has been replaced with a BTG-based practice room
• Walls are now perfect for practicing wall combos (no weird hitboxing or unevenness)
• Crazy good FPS
• Added a control panel where you can reset the room (all of your cooldowns will be reset and the combo dummy respawned), automatically reset your cooldowns, and enable slow motion mode (for video making or whatever)
• Removed CDR pots (useless with the control panel)

This is just phase 1 of the combo training room update, we plan on adding several highly useful changes next:

• Damage hurtbox and player hitbox visibility
• Super armor display (see you and your opponent's SA)
• Hit state display and timers
• Frame data (potentially)
• Being able to swap teams in combo room so you can practice with or against a "friend"

Misc

• Added an option in Settings to mute other players' mounts' sounds (no more needing a mod to mute Perfect Santa Orc or Dub Dub Robot or...)
