Finnian Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 I can't believe it. Has it really been this long... Year after year always rewinding where we've gone... Oh hey, Jellybeans! Didn't see you there. It's summer again, and that means playing Volleyball, collecting Summer Suits, and saving your Summer Festival Coins! We're still working on fixing up the place as time allows. This month boasts a fix for potential Leviathan overpopulation as well as actually fixing the Auro Board quest reset issue for real real* this time. And don't worry, beans. When we say "One More Summer" we mean one just like many others. Hopefully, in the future we will be able to bring you some new content to cure the summertime blues! Sunshine and Rainbows Ranked Volleyball A couple years ago we made some gameplay improvements and a new scoring system. You may notice that the ball moves quicker and farther than classic volleyball. Both teams start with 250 points and various actions in the game will transfer some of your points to the opposite team, and vice versa. When a team runs out of points, they have lost and the game is over. Always try your best because now your wins and losses are tracked using an Elo-like system. Everyone starts out at 1000 and the number will go up or down depending on your performance. Besides starting a match and learning more about the game, you can check your "rank" with the fabulous-looking Info Guy (cmd_fild07 256, 107). We hope everyone hits the court frequently and enjoys the competition. No prizes yet, but any feedback is appreciated! Summer Suits Aloha Shirts and Swimming Shorts will drop from various monsters. Bring these parts to Tailor Jessica near the volleyball court in Beacon Island in exchange for Event Costume Boxes (#1 or #2). These boxes contain two different styles of a full-body summer suit costume. You may end up with more than you will use, but hang onto these boxes because they can be exchanged for Summer Festival Coins at the Carnival in August! Summer Festival Coins For now, this currency is only obtainable by attending GM-hosted live events, exchanging 1 Jellybean for 10 coins, or getting one from a Jellyblob at a very low chance. They will be easier to obtain in August, but now's your chance to get a head start and save some Zeny later! Summer Gacha It's back to tempt you out of your hard earned Auro this summer! We removed a few of the costumes that have already saturated the market and added a few items that are extremely rare. If your luck is OVER 9000 you might manage to snag a top headgear costume that has only been available during special events! If costumes aren't your thing, there is a small chance of getting one of several high end equipment items. But Does It Have Kahos??? you ask. Technically no, but I think you will like your options! New Costume Since we try to keep our featured costumes on a 3-year rotation cycle to keep repeats from popping up too often, we had run out of rainbow colored costumes to feature this month, so I costume-ified the Rainbow Scarf. You may find it in the Jellyblob and Summer Gacha as well as the Auro Shop. Enjoy! Next maintenance is on July 6th @ 4 PM CDT (Server Time) Summer events end on September 7th Monthly Updates Featured Auro Shop Costumes Featured Jellybean Rewards Additional Notes Fixed spawning issues with Leviathan. Fixed issue with Auro board quests left in quest log after reset. * C. Rainbow Scarf added. Auro Shop and Jellybean exchanger have been updated. Jellyblob was updated to reflect change in Auro Shop costumes. Reduced fame points by 10% for all characters on accounts inactive for 90 days. * There might be some edge cases where the fix won't work on pre-existing states. But it shouldn't be an issue going forward. If you find the fix not working for you, please contact staff, we'll have to manually remove the quest variables from your account and characters. Don't forget to patch! How are we doing? Give us feedback! If something isn't working correctly, please submit a bug report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
