We see the Hyperboost Feature Set as a critical turning point. It is an easier and less intimidating entry point for new players, a refreshed experience for existing ones, and a strategic initiative to grow and solidify the community as a whole.
With key system changes, major content updates, and balance adjustments happening now, we felt the Solisium’s Awakening Update on September 18 was the perfect opportunity to encourage new and returning players to jump in. Catch up with NCSOFT for everything you need to know before these server changes go live next month.
More than just a fast-track leveling environment
The Hyperboost Feature Set includes a variety of tangible bonuses that players can immediately feel across all servers. The core bonus is the increased acquisition rate of key progression resources such as gear enhancement materials. Compared to previous progression, players can obtain these resources at a much faster rate, allowing them to rapidly boost their combat power in a shorter period of time.
Additionally, new Growth Support Missions will give special rewards. These rewards are tied to reaching specific level milestones, clearing content, and enhancing equipment, which enables players to progress through regular combat as well as goal-oriented tasks.
Accelerate growth, while preserving the essence of the TL experience
Our core philosophy for the Hyperboost Feature Set is: “Accelerate growth, while preserving the essence of the TL experience.”
TL isn’t just a game about leveling up your character. For many, the endgame is just as fun as the main story quest. However, getting to that point has traditionally taken a significant amount of time. The Hyperboost Feature Set is both an experiment and a structural solution to this issue. While we’ve deliberately accelerated the growth curve, it’s not just about inflating numbers. We’ve designed the experience so players can reach key content faster and engage with it in a richer, more meaningful way.
In short, our goals are a faster start, the preservation of core gameplay experiences, and a sustainable structure for long-term player engagement. We aim to reduce the burden of early progression, without compromising depth or quality.
A Significant Advantage to Players
On existing servers, long-time players have already secured positions in high-end content. In contrast, new players can start on our newly added servers where everyone starts fresh in a reset environment. This removes the disadvantages tied to joining late, allowing all players to compete and cooperate on equal footing. As a result, new players can participate without feeling overwhelmed, and returning players have the chance to re-enter the game strategically in a refreshed setting.
It’s Not Too Late to Start Now
There’s one clear message we want to deliver through this feature set: “It’s not too late to start now.”
These new features are specifically designed to help lower the barrier of entry for new and returning players without taking away the progress or accomplishments of current players. In other words, this is part of a broader strategy to support sustainable player growth within the TL ecosystem. We hope this opportunity allows many players to quickly access TL’s core content and rediscover the thrill of battle, cooperation, and competition. For those looking for a fresh challenge, the Hyperboost Feature Set will be the perfect starting point.
Thanks for your support! We’ll see you in Solisium when the Hyperboost Feature Set releases alongside the Orb, Housing, Dimensional Trials revamp, and Battlegrounds as part of Solisium’s Awakening on September 18.
