(3) Miscellaneous
- Fixed an issue where, when using the ‘Ultimate Alignment Device’ or ‘Rare Alignment Device’ to Readjust Ancestors Module, an option one tier lower than the guaranteed tier could be granted.
ㄴ As previously announced through a notice on March 25 (Wed), we are expanding the scope of the investigation to other readjustment-related elements and are currently conducting a comprehensive review across all applicable items.
We will provide transparent updates on any confirmed issues, and details regarding resolutions, preventive measures, and compensation will be shared through a separate notice.
| (Updated) Through this patch, we’ve adjusted the tier evaluation criteria for Ancestors Modules.
An Ancestors Module’s tier is calculated using the following formula: “Base Value (A) * Synchronization Value * Additional Coefficient (Number of Options & Penalty Option Status) = Final Value (B)” The Final Value (B) is the value displayed in-game and the one applied to your Descendants.
Previously, tiers were determined based on the Final Value (B). However, we identified that minor precision differences (such as decimal rounding) during the calculation process could sometimes lead to inconsistencies in tier results.
To resolve this, the tier evaluation standard has been updated to use the internal Base Value (A). With this change, cases where an Ultimate tier does not appear despite using the Ultimate Alignment Device will no longer happen.
This update aligns with server-side logic and is intended to ensure more stable and consistent grading outcomes. Please note that only the tier evaluation now uses Base Value (A), while actual stats are still applied based on the Final Value (B).
However, since the Final Value (B) shown in-game is subject to rounding or truncation during both calculation and display, there may still be rare instances where identical displayed Final Values (B) result in different tiers due to slight differences in the original Base Value (A).
We are also planning a future UI update so that the Base Value (A) can be viewed alongside the Final Value (B).
