Hello, fello Arkers!
Chrono Ark EA Beta v1.5 is here.
First of all, we apologize for the delayed updates.
We have moved our office from a small 150 square feet room to a 500 square feet office.
We had planned big scenario updates for v1.5, but unfortunately it's taking more time than initially planned.
We are currently prioritizing improvements for bigger parts of our game system.
The biggest improvement for v1.5 is the increased skill pool for all characters. Rare skills are a new addition to the game.
As we have improved most character mechanics, we have also added new skills for each of them.
- Currently, 49 character skills have been added.
The following characters are currently available in Beta:
Hein, Joey, Trisha, Miss Chain, Azar, Pressel, Ironheart, Charon, Silverstein, and Lian.
New
- Up to 10 skills and 3 Rare skills per character have been been added.
- Every character gained a Lucy's skill that helps draw more skills.
- Skill Books: Skill Books generate a random class skill for one of your party members.
- Golden Skill Book: Golden Skill Books generate a random party member's Rare skill. Rare skills have a red border. You are guaranteed to obtain a Golden Skill Book at some point while playing.
- Lucy's New Draw Skills: Gain a low chance to obtain a new class Draw skill for your party members when you upgrade Lucy's Draw skill.
Improvements
- Your party members now have more basic skills. You can remove a skill when you have more than 4-5 skills. Class skills are now removable.
- New Keyword: Count. This substitutes the previous Keyword: Focus. A skill with Count will be cast later than others. A skill's Count will decrease each time you cast a skill.
- Debuff skills with no damage will always be activated.
- You can now wait more per turn with increased Speed.
- New clown-themed music has been added for Stage 2. We are planning to add more bosses besides Joker.
- Boss-themed music has been slightly edited for Stage 3.
All character mechanics have been improved and adjusted.
There are so many changes this patch, please don't hesitate to check them out!
