Update (Updated August 28 3:30 UTC-5)- Updated the ◆ Origin 1.5th Anniversary List of Rewards table.Dear CEOs,This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.During our 1.5th anniversary broadcast, we briefly introduced the upcoming updates for the second half 2024.We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our CEOs for your continued support and high expectations for CounterSide. The overview and explanation of the 2024 second-half updates we introduced during today's broadcast. ▣ New Rearmed Employee After a long time since the last addition of Rearmed employee, Suicide Squad Joo Shiyoung, we are excited to introduce a new Rearmed employee, [Apex Jackal: Machine Collector].[Apex Jackal: Machine Collector] inherits the Supporter role from the original Machine Collector and possesses a reinforced skill structure providing buffs to allies and debuffs to opponents.Similar to the original Machine Collector specializing in the Mech type, [Apex Jackal: Machine Collector] also possesses buff and debuff skills that are exclusively applied to Mech type employees, making her an essential employee in specific combat situations.[Apex Jackal: Machine Collector] will be available after the August 14 update.▣ New Awakened Employees in the 2nd half of 2024■ ??? This Awakened Soldier class employee incorporates the popular Northern Archduke aesthetic found in many media today. As a key character in upcoming episodes, you can see the character's illustration directly in the episodes that will be released later.■ ??? A beloved CounterSide employee, cherished by so many CEOs, will be Awakened in the second half of 2024. To express our gratitude for your unwavering support, the development team is working hard to make this Awakened employee truly special. ▣ 5th Prestige Service SkinThe 5th Prestige Service skin is designed as the opposite of the 4th Prestige Service skin, [Ecclesia - Demon Lord's Advent], and is a skin themed around angels.As with all Prestige skins, this 5th Prestige skin, composed of higher quality than other skins, will be updated immediately with the PV after the 4th Prestige Service which ends in late September.▣ Main Stream EP.12The long-awaited Main Stream EP.12 will be released in November 2024. In EP.11, the Administrator sought a solution to stop Thagirion and Hilde finds Paradox to recover her memories. EP.12 will be an extension of EP.11 where it will delve deeper into the Administrator's past failures during the time of Administration Failure and the people involved in it. The story of the [Brothers Abandoned], first mentioned in the Substream [Carnival], will be a central plot point, revealing more about Hilde's past and the story of the Brothers Abandoned.▣ New Halloween EpisodeA new Halloween episode will be added, which has not been updated since the last [Great Witch's Legacy] Substream update. This new Halloween episode will be added as a supplement and will have connections to the story of the newly added Awakened Soldier. In addition, new Halloween skins are also being prepared for this Halloween episode update.▣ Gauntlet Spectator Feature AdditionAs promised in our Origin Anniversary broadcast, the Gauntlet spectate feature will be updated in September. As development is ongoing for the September update, we apologize that we cannot provide more details but the spectating lobby screen as of now. The feature can be used as the following.◇ Method 1A new create spectator lobby button will be added to the [Friendly Match Options Settings]. After setting up the options, you can create a spectator lobby by pressing this button.A unique spectator code will be assigned to the created spectator lobby. You can share this code with those who want to spectate through [HanaTalk] or other messaging apps.CEOs who receive the spectator code can enter the [Friendly Match] as a spectator after entering the code. ◇ Method 2Create a spectator lobby by selecting from the [Friendly Match Options Settings] and pressing the create spectator lobby button.Directly invite the opponent and spectators from the [Partner] or list of [Consortium Members].Once the opponent or spectator accepts the invitation, the opponent will be placed in the [Friendly Match] preparing for the match, and the spectators will be put into a spectator waiting status.Once all participants are ready for the match, a dedicated target toggle button will be generated for spectators.By clicking the target toggle button, CEOs can switch between the perspectives of each CEO. The initial perspective will be the left-side CEO’s perspective.Spectators can leave the spectator screen at any time during the match.We hope that this new [Friendly Match Spectator Feature] will encourage more [Friendly Matchs] among [Partners] and [Consortium Members].▣ Gauntlet Draft Season & Squad Tournament Global Season■ Gauntlet Draft Season We will be running a Gauntlet Draft Season as an event in the second half of 2024, in response to the many requests from our CEOs.We understand that the Gauntlet Draft mode had the drawback of taking some time to start a match due to the ban and selection of employees.Therefore, instead of fully implementing the Draft season, we will be conducting a trial run as an event to gather feedback about the experience. If the feedback is positive, we plan to incorporate additional content into the existing Draft mode.We encourage all CEOs to participate in the Gauntlet Draft season and share your valuable feedback.■ Squad Tournament Global SeasonThe development team is exploring the feasibility of conducting a unified Squad Tournament across both Korean and Global servers in the latter half of 2024, rather than operating separate tournaments for each region. Due to system constraints, we are considering a format where the top 16 players from each server will advance to a unified 32-player tournament, starting from the Round of 32. Match predictions will be available for both Korean and Global servers. We aim to facilitate exciting cross-server matchups between CEOs from both Korea and the Global regions as soon as possible. Detailed information regarding the schedule and format of the cross-server Squad Tournament will be provided in future patch notes. ▣ New Planned Update Contents■ Operator Side Skill TokenAs the service progressed, the number of released operators increased, and CEOs found the need to create multiple operators for various content. Consequently, we received a great deal of feedback requesting an expansion of the operator inventory. However, expanding all storage spaces, including operators, gears, employees, and trophies, would have resulted in a substantial increase in data communication between the game server and the client, leading to slower login times for all CEOs. Due to these limitations, we had to approach the request for operator inventory expansion with caution, and unfortunately, we were unable to implement it as requested. We apologize for not communicating these reasons and potential solutions in advance. To address this issue and provide an alternative to operator inventory expansion, we developed the [Operator Side Skill Token]. This is divided into two main parts: [Operator Extraction] and [Operator Side Skill Tokens]. First, a new [Operator Extraction] feature will be added. You can extract unused operators by going to the [Management] tab, selecting the [Operator] tab, and clicking the [Operator Extraction] button. During the extraction, CEOs will receive [Side Skill Tokens] corresponding to the operator's rarity, along with obtainable items when dismissing an operator. To prevent accidental extractions, a pop-up window will display with the final rewards you will receive before confirming the extraction. The existing [Auto Select] function, which allows CEOs to select and dismiss operators of a specific rarity at once, can also be used for operator extraction. The [Operator Side Skill Tokens] obtained from extracting operators are treated as separate resources, similar to gear enhancement modules, which do not occupy storage space. These tokens can be used to transfer Side Skills to other operators, and the success rate of Side Skill Transfer based on the operator’s rarity is the same as before.We hope introducing [Operator Side Skill Tokens] will alleviate some of the inconvenience caused by limited operator space. ▣ Max Level Expansion, Rearmament System, and Partial Growth Resource Overhaul■ Max Level ExpansionAs previously announced in our July Dev Notes and further detailed information in the Origin 1.5th Anniversary broadcast, we are planning to update the max level cap for employees from 110 to 120 in September. We believe that this increase is necessary to address the challenges presented by upcoming new content and to provide CEOs with additional opportunities to grow and achieve satisfaction through further employee development. As the maximum level for employees increases, their abilities will be further enhanced as they level up. The materials required for Limit Fusion to increase the maximum level will vary depending on the level range. For limit breaking from level 100 to 110, the existing [Fusion Core] will be used as the material, just like before. However, for the Limit Fusion from level 110 to 120, a new material called [Special Fusion Core] will be required. ※ Image of Special Fusion Core[Special Fusion Cores] can be crafted in the [Workshop] by combining existing [Fusion Cores]. To prevent an influx of level 120 employees from immediately impacting content balance, there will be a weekly limit on the number of [Special Fusion Cores] that can be crafted. The exact number of [Fusion Cores] required to craft a [Special Fusion Core], as well as the number of [Special Fusion Cores] consumed at each level beyond 110, is still being finalized. We apologize for not being able to provide more specific details at this time.We will provide more detailed information regarding the number of [Fusion Cores] required to craft [Special Fusion Cores] and the amount of [Special Fusion Cores] needed for Limit Fusion at each level in future patch notes. Additionally, to accommodate the increased demand for [Fusion Cores] due to the max-level expansion, we plan to introduce a new [Fusion Core Challenge] that will provide a steady acquisition of Fusion Cores. A new Fusion Core Challenge will be added alongside the max level expansion update in September. More details about the challenge will be provided in the upcoming patch notes. ■ Rearmament OverhaulThe [Rearmament System] allows CEOs to give their seldom used employees new abilities and bring them back into action.However, [Rearmament Data] has been an entry barrier for new CEOs for it is difficult to get, and for CEOs who have finished rearming all their employees, it's just taking up space in the storage as the time it takes for the new rearmed employee elongates, making this item just taking up space. As part of this improvement, starting in the second half of 2024, [Rearmament Data] and [Prime Rearmament Data] will be replaced entirely with [Fusion Cores] for rearmament. With the removal of [Rearmament Data] from the rearmament process, CEOs will no longer be able to obtain [Rearmament Data] or [Prime Rearmament Data] from the [Data Transmission Room] after the rearmament overhaul update.In addition, we are currently preparing an event shop where CEOs can use [Rearmament Data] that is in CEOs’ storage.With these improvements, new CEOs can more easily access the Rearmament System, while existing CEOs can utilize their unused Rearmament Data. More details will be provided in the patch notes. ■ APT Core UnificationThe Counter, Soldier, and Mech [APT Cores] and [S-APT Cores], will be unified into a single [APT Core] and [S-APT Cores] respectively in the upcoming update.There are three main types of employees in CounterSide, but the ratio of employees for each type is not equal. This has led to a situation where there is a shortage of certain types of [APT Cores] and [S-APT Cores], while others are left over.Therefore, the development team decided to unify the [APT Cores] and [S-APT Cores] for each type into a single [APT Cores] and [S-APT Cores] to improve the current imbalanced situation. ※ Image of unified [S-APT Core] and [APT Core]The existing [APT Cores] and [S-APT Cores] for Counter, Soldier, and Mech will be converted into unified [APT Core] and [S-APT Cores] automatically after the update along with simulations and supply operations will now allow CEOs to get the unified [APT Cores] and [S-APT Cores].With the APT Core Unification update, we believe the Limit Break for employees will be more straightforward.▣ Other Content Expansion■ Raid Difficulty Expansion As mentioned briefly earlier in the section on the max level expansion, we will be updating the game with even more challenging content in the second half of 2024.The first content we would like to introduce is a new raid difficulty level that surpasses the current highest difficulty level of 150, [Nightmare].In the new [Nightmare II] difficulty level, raid bosses will have levels of 170 and 190, requiring even more preparation before attempting to clear them.By clearing the new [Nightmare II] raid, you will be able to obtain a small amount of newly added [Prime Raid Token] in addition to the existing raid coins.The newly added [Prime Raid Token] will be used as a new mold for creating T7 Raid Gears.In addition to the raid difficulty expansion, we are also preparing various content expansions such as new Danger Close bosses and dive depths in the second half of 2024.As the maximum level of employees is planned to expand, we will strive to provide continuous content expansion updates accordingly. ▣ Summary of Origin 1.5th Anniversary Event RewardsAs announced in the broadcast, the rewards for the Origin 1.5th Anniversary event reward summary are as follows.◆

Dear CEOs,This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.In this Developer Note #25, we have prepared some exciting news for the Origin 1.5 Anniversary of Counterside that you have all been eagerly awaiting as well as the major updates planned for August 2024 for the Global server.However, as the 1.5 Anniversary broadcast is scheduled for August 9th, we will be introducing the contents here in a way that does not spoil the broadcast, hence we ask for your understanding.[ Origin 1.5 Anniversary ] Starting from August 7, 2024, CounterSide’s Origin 1.5 Anniversary Eve will begin.As previously mentioned, we are preparing a broadcast for August 9th to mark the Origin 1.5 Anniversary, and the main events will begin on August 14th.For the 1.5th anniversary broadcast, we are preparing to deliver a variety of news, including the new rearmed employee, Danger Close boss, and a lot more.■ New Rearmed EmployeeThe new rearmed employee will be released in a form that enhances the unique buff/debuff characteristics. More details will be available through the broadcast, so please look forward to it.[ Max Level Expansion and Partial Growth Resource Overhaul ]Within the second half of 2024, we plan to expand the max level for employees and partially overhaul growth resources.As expanding the max level for employees and overhaul of rearmament and growth resources are sensitive matters that may cause concern among our CEOs, we have decided to address these points first in this developer's note, as opposed to discussing newer content like substreams or awakened employees. 1. Max Level ExpansionCurrently, the max level a employee can reach through Limit Fusion is 110. However, to accommodate the new, higher-difficulty Danger Close and future content updates, the max level will be expanded to 120 in the second half of 2024.As the max level increases, employees will gain additional stat boosts proportional to their level.To perform Limit Fusion for levels 110 to 120, SR, SSR, and Awakened employees will require [ Special Fusion Core ], an upgraded version of the [Fusion Cores], while N and R grade employees will need [Fusion Cores]..[ Special Fusion Core ] required for additional Limit Fusions of SR, SSR and Awakened employees can be crafted in the workshop using Fusion Cores, but there will be a weekly production limit. 2. Addition of Regular Acquisition Sources for [Fusion Cores]Due to the anticipated increased demand for [Fusion Cores] following the expansion of the max level, we will be adding new in-game sources to regularly farm [Fusion Cores], coinciding with the max level expansion update. 3. Rearmament OverhaulTo rearm employees, CEOs currently need [Rearmament Data] or [Prime Rearmament Data], depending on the employee's grade.However, [Rearmament Data] has been an entry barrier for new CEOs, and for CEOs who have finished rearming all their employees, it's just taking up space in the storage. Many CEOs have requested improvements to this system.To address these issues, we will be overhauling the rearmament process to prevent situations where CEOs have too little or too much [Rearmament Data].As part of this improvement, starting in the second half of 2024, [Rearmament Data] and [Prime Rearmament Data] will be replaced entirely with [Fusion Cores] for rearmament. However, the amount of [Fusion Cores] consumed will vary depending on the employee's grade.With the removal of [Rearmament Data] from the rearmament process, CEOs will no longer be able to obtain [Rearmament Data] or [Prime Rearmament Data] from the [Data Transmission Room] after the rearmament overhaul update.Additionally, we are preparing an update that will allow CEOs to convert existing [Rearmament Data] and [Prime Rearmament Data] in the storage into [APT Cores] and [Fusion Cores] through crafting in the workshop. 4. APT Core Unification The Counter, Soldier, and Mech [APT Cores] and [S-APT Cores], will be unified into a single [APT Core] and [S-APT Cores] respectively in the upcoming update.After the APT Core Unification update, CEOs will be able to use this unified [APT Cores] and [S-APT Cores] for the Limit Break of all employee types.The existing [APT Cores] and [S-APT Cores] for Counter, Soldier, and Mech will be converted into unified [APT Core] and [S-APT Cores] after the update along with [APT Cores] and [S-APT Cores] acquirable from simulations and supply operaitons.With the APT Core Unification update, we believe that the Limit Break for employees will be more straightforward.The expansion of the max level and rearmament overhaul planned in the second half of the year, we expect that existing PvE contents will become easier to play.To match the increased capabilities of employees, we will also be introducing higher-difficulty raid and dive content, so please look forward to it.We will provide more detailed information about the max level for employees and overhaul of rearmament and growth resources in the 1.5th anniversary broadcast and through separate announcement.[ Attack Range Reference Point Unification Update ]Currently, all employees are categorized into Air, Ground, and All-around Attack. Additionally, aside from the attack type, the attack method is divided into melee and ranged based on the range of each employee's basic attacks, Special Skills, and Ultimate Skills.In CounterSide, we determine whether an attack is melee or ranged based on whether the distance between the caster and the target is greater or less than 500 distance.However, we have found that the reference points used to calculate this distance from the target were inconsistent, leading to situations where skills with the same set range would have different distances between the caster and the target in actual combat.This inconsistency was due to the fact that the range of some employees' attacks was calculated based on the size of the target employee, while the range of other employees' attacks did not include the size of the target.To address this issue, the development team aims to unify the reference points for attack ranges, thereby reestablishing the ranges of attacks that, despite being set to the same range, have been activating differently in actual combat situations.With this unification, all employees will have their own unique attack ranges, which will be informed through skill tooltips, allowing for more accurate and transparent gameplay.While this unification will provide more consistent gameplay, it is important to note that due to the differences in how attack ranges were previously calculated, some employees may experience changes in their attack ranges. While we will be striving to minimize these changes, some adjustments are inevitable. With the change in attack range reference points, the additional melee and ranged stats obtained through gear and other factors will also be affected.Currently, the additional melee and ranged stats obtained from gear and other factors are determined if the attack range is 500 or less, it's considered melee; if it's over 500, it's considered ranged.However, due to the ongoing unification of attack range reference points, which may change the attack ranges of individual employees, the way these melee and ranged stats are applied will be adjusted to be more flexible.As shown in the graph below, there is a clear distinction between melee and ranged stats based on a 500 distance now, but the effects will gradually increase or decrease based on 500 distance after the formula is modified.Changing the attack range reference point requires multiple tasks, including modifying data values and client code. Additionally, implementing such a significant change suddenly would likely cause considerable confusion among CEOs.Therefore, we plan to gradually unify the attack range reference points. As a preliminary step, we will apply the modified formula for melee and ranged stats in the July 31 update.We anticipate that the change in the melee and ranged stat application formula will allow for more flexible gear usage.When unifying the skill reference points for individual employees, we will provide advance notice regarding affected employees to minimize confusion caused by sudden updates. In addition to redefining the skill range formula, the CounterSide development team will continue to strive to provide a better combat environment.[ New Substream - Matryoshka Dolls ] Under the guise of national heroism, the Northern Union conducted cruel experiments on its citizens, sparing neither adults nor children.Children sacrificed in these experiments were transformed into cyborgs known as Matryoshka Dolls, programmed to obey only the Northern Union's commands.The new substream [Matryoshka Dolls] delves into the tale of a discarded doll, Mavka, who rises against the Northern Union. Mavka is a Counter taking on the role of an Awakened Ranger introduced in the new substream, [Matryoshka Dolls].Specializing in aerial mobility, Mavka excels at suppressing Defenders through continuous attacks. Her unique fighting style grants her increasing strength as she maintains her offensive.[ New Substream - Avenger ] As Season 3's narrative revolves around Demon Lord Thagirion, the undisclosed story of the Elysion world is unveiled from the perspective of a new character.[Avenger] delves into the experiences of a young paladin who wanders gelid lands to find a fairy, encountering another civilization beyond Elysion.This story will shed light on the keywords that have not been revealed clearly, such as fairies, demons, and the Golden Branch, whose true nature remained unclear. Accompanying the new substream [Avenger] is the release of the newly Awakened employee, Mordred.Mordred is an Awakened Counter Sniper who possesses immunity to sleep.Furthermore, she boasts a skill set specialized for combat against Corrupted Objects, raising expectations for her versatility across various content. [ New Seasonal Episode - Treasure Hunt of the Debtcade ] [Treasure Hunt of the Debtcade] chronicles the adventures of the Sigma Pirates, sparked by the encounter between Yuppie and Sigma, who embark on a treasure hunt to settle their debts.Unjustly branded a debtor, Yuppie embarks on a perilous quest for treasure, facing wrongful accusations, daring escapes, and confronting the TASKFORCE, all in the relentless pursuit of debt repayment. Come enjoy Yuppie's unstoppable treasure hunt story! [ New Alternium Reactors ]The Alternium Reactor for [Arhat Joo Shiyoon] is being designed to enhance his own performance the more counterattacks are activated.[Félicette]'s Alternium Reactor will strengthen her defensive stats, while [Laika]'s will enhance her offensive performance, amplifying their inherent roles and characteristics.The three new Alternium Reactors are scheduled for release in the August 14 update, and detailed information on their abilities will be provided through the patch notes. Please stay tuned for more details. [ Gauntlet Ranked Battle Improvements ]As of this moment, there is no demotion before reaching Platinum 5 in the Ranked Battle. Reaching the Platinum League offers the advantage of retaining Platinum league rewards until the end of the season, but it presents the difficult matchmaking for CEOs in Gold 1 and below due to the reduced CEO population in those leagues.To improve the overall gaming experience for CEOs in the Gauntlet Ranked Battle, we are preparing the following changes. ■ Expanded NPC Matching RangeCurrently, in the leagues up to Silver, if CEOs cannot be matched with another CEO in the Ranked Battle, they will be matched with an NPC instead.However, we have observed that CEOs in Gold League are facing difficulties in reaching Platinum League due to the lack of NPC matches.To address this inconvenience, we will expand the NPC matching range up to Gold 1.■ Reduced NPC Matching TimeThe development team has identified an issue with lengthy wait times, even for NPC matches, which reduces the accessibility of Gauntlet.Therefore, we are also taking steps to reduce the NPC matching time by half.■ Increased Victory Points in Gold 1 and belowTo expedite the progression to Platinum league, we will increase the Victory Points awarded for wins in Gold 1 and below from 25 points to 150 points.These Gauntlet environment improvements are scheduled for release in the July 31st update. We anticipate that these changes will enable new CEOs to more quickly experience Gauntlet and engage in competitive matches with other CEOs.
