System

Matchmaking Improvements

  • Asia 1

    • The top-tier queue in the Asia server will have stricter matchmaking, with the highest tier restricted to players with Mythril 8200+.

  • North America Server

    • The top-tier queue in the North America server will have stricter matchmaking, with the highest tier restricted to players with Meteorite+.

  • Europe Server

    • The top-tier queue in the Europe server will have stricter matchmaking, with the highest tier restricted to players with Diamond 2+.


System Improvements

Collected Items & Insufficient Inventory Space 

Collected materials will now drop to the ground if your inventory is full at the moment of collection, similar to most other items to improve consistency in the collecting experience and reduce the inconvenience of limited inventory space.

  • (NEW) If there is no space in your inventory: all the collected material will drop on the ground.

  • (Remains the same) If there is some space: the amount that fits will go into your inventory, and the rest will drop on the ground.

  • However, to prevent players from unintentionally losing Tree of Life and Meteorite, nothing will change when you’re collecting these items, meaning a message will continue to display if you can’t collect them due to insufficient inventory space.

  • When items are dropped on the ground due to insufficient inventory space a system message will display.
