Star Ocean: The Second Story R is getting one of the beefiest post-launch updates I've ever seen for a JRPG, pushing the already-stellar remake to new heights.
Season of the Guardian: Update
07.03.2024 - 18:23 / newworld.com
Greetings, Adventurers!
Thank you for playing the Season of the Guardian PTR. To better address your feedback on the upgraded combat & animation system as well as issues identified through the PTR and internal tests, Season 5 will be delayed. We appreciate your support as we continue to resolve issues and work together towards an even more enjoyable release. Stay tuned for an updated Season 5 release date in the near future.
Here’s how each feature has been reshaped based on your PTR feedback. Other changes, noted below, will require more time to implement and release in a later update. Our team will continue to work hard on these additions for a more seamless experience. Thank you for your insightful commentary, patience, and understanding.
Many of you shared concerns that the invulnerability perk will make Healers and Ranged DPS overpowered. Taking this feedback into consideration, we updated the Phoenix Vengeance perk so that when a player receives lethal damage, they will temporarily avoid death, become invulnerable for 4 seconds, and then die. Following a second PTR release which provided these changes, we received and acknowledge further feedback regarding the sustained interest and viability of the perk with these modifications at play.
As a response, we will take another pass at the design of the Phoenix Vengeance perk, but due to timing, will plan to release further changes in an update following Season 5. You can expect the following adjustments ( values not final and subject to change ):
When you receive lethal damage, avoid death and regain 100% of your max health. You will then become inflicted with Vengeance. This reduces healing by 100% and deals 12% of your max health every second until you die or get a kill. (180s cooldown).
Most feedback suggests the Poison Tipped perk should only apply its Damage Over Time effect to heavy melee attacks for more compelling risk versus reward combat. We agree with your sentiment. Now the perk will only apply to heavy melee attacks.
We also saw recommendations to re-balance Venom Spear separately for PvP and PvE, as some of you felt the DOT effect for ranged attacks was balanced in PvE activities. However, we want to limit the amount of functional divergences for between PvP and PvE, so we’ll likely consider adjusting the item’s stats such as Damage % or Status Effect Duration instead.
The Nature’s Blessing perk split player opinion. It removes Empower status effects in exchange for an always active base damage increase. This can be a trade off or completely beneficial depending on the prevalence of Empowers. For example, the Spear has several Empowers, which if combined, equal 50% Empower. However, to achieve that 50% Empower, you’ll have to either
