I'm sorry my English is not very good. This update announcement is from machine translation with personal correction.
If you don't understand, please leave a message and ask me.Thanks for your support!
Overview
1. Due to a large number of players' feedback that the previous proficiency system consumes too much energy of players, so in this version, the proficiency system has been redesigned. As this version change will bring more or less influence to all players, in order to apologize, all players can get a certain amount of geometry coin compensation after the version update (the specific value is based on the number of proficiency points of your roles). Thank you for your understanding and support.
2. The new currency "geometry coin" and the new playing method "Rune" have been put into practice. This is the product of the integration of the pet system and equipment system in the early design. I believe it can bring you a new interesting experience.
3. In this version, the acquisition and spending mechanism of stars has also been greatly changed. The cost of role talents has been greatly reduced to allow players to strengthen their roles more quickly; the difficulty curve of the game has been completely remade, and the output of stars no longer depends on the number of levels, so as to improve the game experience in most stages. This change is the focus of this monetary system update. On the one hand, it is to avoid the collapse of the monetary system in the future game. On the other hand, it is also convenient for the future new monetary related system. If this change brings you inconvenience, please understand!
4. At the same time of this major update, the leaderboard data in the game has been cleared.
