Navigator,

To enhance your gaming experience, we’ve upgraded the technical process behind version update maintenance. Starting with this update, monthly version maintenance will shift from the previous [approx. 5-hour server downtime] to a [no server downtime] model.

Note:

• If you are in a match when maintenance ends, you will receive the [update prompt] after the match, and your gameplay experience will not be affected.

• If you exit the game before maintenance ends, then click [update] to re-enter afterward, you may be unable to reconnect to any match you were previously in. Please plan your playtime accordingly to avoid disruptions.

The maintenance duration may be adjusted based on actual circumstances. If an extension is required, we will notify you in advance. Thank you for your understanding.

Gameplay Update

Crystal Scramble (BETA)

Overview

The Bablo Crystal is the rarest mineral energy in Strinova, and the best carrier for String Energy. Three factions are in a constant struggle for resources to achieve their goals.

The Dirac Mine, located between the True Wilderness and urban areas, established P.U.S's earliest Bablo Crystal mining industry. However, the area has now fallen into a state of rumble due to external invasions...

Rules

Players are divided into two teams to compete. They must gather Bablo Crystals from the mine area on the Map and transport them back to their Warehouse. The team that collects the specified number of Crystals first or has the most when the Countdown ends wins.

Unique Gameplay Mechanics

  - More points are required to activate Ultimate Skills.

  - Players can only access the String Energy Network in their Faction's Warehouse Area or while waiting to Respawn.

  - Transporting Crystals back to Warehosue boosts base attributes.

  - Once the Warehouse stores a certain number of Crystals, the Defense System will deactivate. Beware of theft.

Crystal Scramble - Dirac Mine

The Dirac Mine has three mining points, forming a developed underground Crystal extraction system. The central mine shaft is equipped with the latest directional drilling machine for deep exploration of high-purity Bablo Crystals. The open areas on the left and right have rotary suction mini-drills, which output small amounts of Crystals at regular intervals.

Map Workshop Update and Optimization
