Update#1.7 Announcement

Hi, Warriors! This time, we are bringing a new version which the battle rhythm has been greatly improved to you! Attack speed is faster! The damage is higher! We benefits the players with giving you a bigger chance to beat three players by themselves! Also, there is new game mode, 3v3 capture battle, come and carry your teammates!

Key improvements

Improved the combat system, the team organization system and the rhythm of the game.
Redesigned the drop system of classic mode. Equips used to drop in random spots, now is changed to drop at the specific spots.
A new game mode of 3v3.

Combat system adjustments

Greatly improved the rhythm of the combat.
- Improved the attack speed of most weapons, greatly improved the damage of the main weapons.
- Decreased the attack times of the light weapons and standard weapons’ combo, but the total damage of the combo doesn’t change.
- Slightly increased the speed and distance of the rolling.
Weakened the attack method beyond the main weapon.
- Greatly increased the CD of the spells and sub weapons.
- The trajectory of bow and crossbow has been modified to be a straight line instead of a parabola.
Added some new combat mechanics:
- After the main weapon hitting the enemy, it will return 50% of the stamina consumed by this attack.
- After expelling the enemy, you will get a buff which helps your recovering.
- After hitting down the enemy, you will get a buff only last for 8 seconds, and helps you to immediately relieve the state of being unable to sprint.
About team organizing system:
- Unless you are using the main weapon, you won’t be blocked by your teammates.
- Added a new magic weapon. [Serpent Staff]. This is a long-range weapon which is better used in the team combat, but the shoot distance is not very long, also limited with CD, and it cannot trigger the hit effect.

Redesigned the drop system of classic mode

In the past versions, the treasure chest and barrels are set at random places, and the probability of falling in each area is uniform. So there is no differences of each areas. Now, we have some new changes:

The treasure chest is classified into 4 qualities (white, blue, purple, golden), the number and spot are settled. The equips in golden chest is stationary.
The equips are never dropped from the barrels, instead of showing on the random spots.
The spots of the treasure chests are showed on the map, you can mark it.

Capture mode (Competitive mode)

Players: 3v3
Rules: Capture the gate! The team whose total control time reaches 100 seconds scores first and opens the next round.
The winning rule: 2 out of 3 games.

Misc

Adjusted the map [Ancient maze], It is mainly due to the significant reduction of the upper left and upper right forest areas.
Redesigned the effects of the armor repair and some buffs.
Improved some UI issues (Shop, Cardpack, Items picking, Combat results, Spectator system)
Added the UI of knocking down the enemy which are showed by achievement sign.
Improved the intelligent level of the navigation line.

1.7 update will be online this weekend.
Thank you for supporting us.
Have fun in the dungeon!

Soulfire major update! New mode, new weapons!

The solo mode of Soulfire has finally arrived, and there is no longer any need to worry about matching the unreliable teammates, who always prevent me from victory! I heard that the new version also added some powerful weapons, so I interviewed the producer of Soulfire, PixelBact

The solo mode of Soulfire has finally arrived, and there is no longer any need to worry about matching the unreliable teammates, who always prevent me from victory! I heard that the new version also added some powerful weapons, so I interviewed the producer of Soulfire, PixelBacterium (PB for short), to understand the latest information.

I: Hello PB, I heard that the latest version of Soulfire has added a very powerful primary weapon - whip sword. What is its design inspiration?

PB: Whip sword is a relatively common type of weapon in ACG. There are characters in SoulCalibur to use this weapon, and in Bloodborne. In short, it is a weapon with two forms, sword and whip. There are also many cases in comic, such as Tenjō Tenge and Bleach. There are also chain sword in Pacific Rim, but mainly in the form of sword. Of course, there is no such thing in reality, because with such a structure, it is difficult to guarantee the performance of the sword form. However, it looks cool. We also have other deformable weapons under development.

I: It seems to be very powerful. Will the addition of the whip sword destroy the game balance?

PB: The whip sword is found in the treasure chest of the fourth treasure thief only. There is only one whip sword in one match. Its strength is definitely more than other weapons. However, this strength is not numerically, but the versatility of the action module. Its general attack is the speed of standard weapons, and the combat skill has the range of heavy weapons. The advantages of both weapons are taken into account, and there are no shortcomings. If you do want to ask for its shortcomings, it is that its impact level and hyper-armor level are only equivalent to tier 2 weapons. While to be honest, the disadvantages in actual combat are negligible.

I: The new secondary weapon, poison gas bottle, when should I use it?

PB: The positioning of the poison gas bottle is a group battle weapon that can force the enemies to move in one position. It is not suitable for solo match, but it can be used in place such as edge of the dreamland gate. However, the damage of the poison gas bottle is not high at present, which may need some enhancement.

I: Final question. The price of Soulfire has reduced from $16.99 to $6.99. What is the consideration?

PB: In fact, we also launched a free version, which has essentially the same functionality as the paid version, except that you cannot buy items with gold. This is all about making more players enjoy Soulfire.

I: Great, I cannot wait to try out the new weapons, see you in the dungeon!
PB: See you in the dungeon!

Cosmetics.

Changed the Male’s default face.

Updated the Dragonglass store. Added some new cosmetics.

Balance Improvements

Fixed an issue where the Gauntlets, Longsword, Twinblades, Twin Axes, and other weapons lacked one chain hit during a combo.
In previous versions, enemies could roll and escape after only 2 attacks from a Rapier, but it was intended to have a 3-hit-combo. Most weapons suffered this issue. This fix will improve several weapon’s attacking capabilities.
Weakened the Dagger: Decreased the lunge distance of the first attack of the Dagger’s combat skill, increased its back swing length, and increased the knockback distance of its basic attack and combat skill.
Weakened the Blunderbuss: The upgraded version of the Blunderbuss no longer has the knockdown effect.
Improved the Spear: Shortened the fore swing time of its combat skill.
Improved the Club: Shortened the back swing animation time of its combat skill.

Increased the duration of Dark Essence’s “Pain” debuff.
Increased the duration of Red Essence’s “Tear” debuff and the distance required to deduct health.
Reduced the slowing effects of Ice Essence, Slow Rune, and Fukiya.
Changed the Drought Rune: Improved MP reduction and reduced the additional damage.

Others

Items in an enemy’s backpack are now properly sorted when looting them. Previously, enemy backpacks were a little cluttered.
The area of the last safety zone has increased by one screen.

#1.1 Update – Patch Notes Now Live

Hi everyone!
Patch update #1.1 is here, and it is packed full of new features, balance and gameplay adjustments, and fixes! An observer module has been added into the game which will allow for tournaments in the future, and a free version will be included with this update that we trust will bring many more players to the dungeon.

Added Observer feature

1. In custom match, the match owner can set any player as the observers. The observers’ names will be displayed on the right side of the screen.

2. The observer can see every player team number, player name, and player HP and armor on the full map. Double-clicking will allow the observer to switch between viewed players.

3. We have made big improvements in the player’s spectate experience.
Note: Players can check the spectated player’s equipment by pressing [ Tab ].

4. Added in-game ranking list, which can be checked by pressing [ B ].

Balance Improvments

1. Reduced the projectile speed and increased the cooldowns of most long-range attacks, especially the Fukiya.
2. Attacks made with a main weapon can no longer be interrupted by the Fukiya, Shortbow, Longbow, Light Crossbow, Repeater Crossbow, Hook, or Fireball.
3. The damage of Harquebus and Hurricane Smash have been significantly decreased. The efficiency and power of these group injury + knockdown skills in group battles were much too high.
4. The first few attack stages of the Shortbow and the Longbow were weakened.
5. Increased the lunge distance of the Pike’s and the Great Sword’s heavy attack. Optimized the attack curve of the first heavy attack of the Poleaxe to make it hit enemies from further away.
6. Twin Axes have been lowered in tier from 3 stars to 2 stars.
7. Reduced the drop rate of Twinblades, and increased the drop rates of Iron Skin, Great Hammer, Great Scythe, Pike, and Great Sword.
8. Increased the rolling speed of all weapons. Reduced the rolling distance penalty while holding heavy weapons, increasing the survival odds of heavy weapon wielders after being knocked down by others.
9. The third stage of Pyrodance will move the caster through teammates, which will enhance its role in team combat.
10. Slightly reduced the Drenched and Burn debuffs. Significantly decreased the duration of the Gust buff.
11. Reduced the duration of Escapology, and the player can no longer cancel the spell effect prematurely. Reduced the movement speed increase gained from enhancing Escapology with Doppelganger Skin.
12. Taunting action can now be canceled by rolling.
13. Reduced the difficulty of performing a parry with the blunderbuss.

Developer notes: The main direction of these balance changes is to weaken long-range attacks. On the one hand, it is guaranteed that some long-range attacks can be more easily evaded (especially the Fukiya). On the other hand, it reduces the effect of long-range weapons and spells in team fights. In the previous team fights, there were too many long-range attack interruptions, making it difficult for players to perform melee attacks. Additionally, the damage output of long-range attacks was too high.

Match pacing

1. Increased the time required to clear the Dreamland Gate.
2. Increased the maximum range of the safe zone surrounding the Dreamland Gate and decreased the rate in which the progress meter empties when the team leaves the safe zone, or it becomes contested.
3. Significantly increased the Mist damage during the final stage.

Developer notes: Players can't hide in the Mist and rely on healing items as a stall tactic anymore. With the increased Mist damage, it's much more difficult for players to win the game without competing with other players.

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed an issue where the zone events did not occur.
2. Fixed an issue where enemy players’ voices could still be heard even when the sound setting was toggled to Team Only.
3. Fixed an issue that prevented backstabbing an enemy who recently recovered from a knockdown.
4. Fixed an issue where the Hook could hit additional enemies on its return.
5. Fixed an issue where the male character using a Great Stick’s heavy attack would have a shortened hyper-armor duration.
6. Fixed an issue of attacks sometimes missing with some weapons.
7. Fixed an issue where players could be bounced in the air when they were attacked by Airblast, Hurricane Smash, and some weapons.
8. Fixed an issue where Hurricane Smash collision distance could be too short, causing it to stop suddenly in front of an enemy.
9. Fixed an issue where the Katana’s hits may not have registered if certain skins were equipped.
10. Fixed an issue where players may not return at full of health when reviving in the beginner tutorial.
11. Fixed an issue that could cause a team invitation to appear when opening card packs.

Ranking point rule changes

1. Ranking points will not increase or decrease after you play in a Custom Match.
2. Previously, killing an enemy who was more than 1,000 points lower than the player resulted in no points being awarded. We have removed this rule so that every enemy you kill will now earn you points.
3. After reaching Gold rank, AI opponents you kill will no longer award points.
4. The number of kills will now also account for enemies you’ve knocked down and who either chose to release, were finished off by other players, or who were knocked down by you and in a downed state when their last teammate died.

UI improvement

1. You can now view other pages while you are queued.
2. The tutorial can now be skipped.
3. The current server and network speed can now be seen on the main menu.

Free version

Alongside the 1.1 update, we are releasing a free version for players to try. The differences between the free version and the full version are that in the free version players cannot use their gold to purchase card packs or skins from the gold store, and free version players can earn points but cannot be ranked. Player data from the free version carries over to the full version; after purchasing the full version, all the items obtained in the free version will be retained, and the player will become ranked with their position on the leaderboard to qualify for end-of-season rewards.

Last but not least, the top ten players in the rankings before the ranks reset. The development of Soulfire can not be achieved without your support!

Have fun in dungeon!
