With the beginning of a new wipe, balancing and the introduction of new parts in mechanics previously considered complete were necessary, all for the proper functioning of the game. But my personal favorite is the new Elite Armors, Modestia based on Saint Seiya's Pisces armor, and Imperito based of Minos de Griffon's introduce a new gameplay style and opens up a new mix of strategy, can't wait to see it being used!
Also this time we will start the wipe with a new setting:
Starting Global Story: Circe vs Hermes
Two hundred years ago, a prolonged war among Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, and Athena nearly destroyed the world. Gradually, Hermes began to organize and take over the remnants of civilization in preparation for the return of the other gods. He did not, however, anticipate Circe awakening before the more powerful deities.
Circe's awakening has been affecting the tournaments for Guardian armors around the world, suggesting that a new Holy War could start at any moment. Aware of this, Hermes also prepared for his return.
A tense neutrality pervades the town on the outskirts of the Sanctuary, where civilization is just beginning to regrow.

Final considerations
I been working hard for the players to be able to experience the best roleplay possible in Azusa but lately we been running through some issues with group of players breaking basic roleplay rules, so please consider reviewing these articles:
Roleplay Guide
How to correlate Roleplay in the Games Mechanics
Metagame Article
Powergaming Article
Please, understand that as a roleplaying game this game shouldn't be played as a generic mmorpg or moba, doing so is like trying to play a race game in street fighter, different genres have different experiences.
Hope you are ready to live a great storytelling experience that you won't forget! with that said, hope to see you all ingame!
