Dear CEOs,This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.In this month of Dev Notes, we'll provide more details about the upcoming December 2024 update.[ New Substream - Counters Legacy ]The new substream, [Counters Legacy], revolves around the story that unfolds when two new teachers are appointed to Counter Academy, the administration's Counter training school. The two teachers introduce a new system to the Academy's simulation training. As Naielle, the self-proclaimed best Counter in the Academy, participates in and plays through the new simulation system, the story progresses through the ensuing commotion.[ New Awakened Employee - New Age Naielle Bluesteel ]Another Awakened employee teased during the 1.5th Anniversary broadcast last August will be updated in December. As many of you may have guessed, the protagonist is New Age Naielle Bluesteel. While the existing Naielle is a Striker that excels on the frontline with powerful attacks and Special Skill, the Awakened employee New Age Naielle Bluesteel will be released as an Awakened Defender who utilizes Iron Wall and debuffs to contribute to both the survival and attack of her allies. We ask for your continued support for Naielle Bluesteel as she returns as an Awakened employee with a new story.[ New Employee - Mad Sister Cindy Looper ]Cindy Looper, the charming member of the Holy Curia who mercilessly dispatches C.O.s with a chainsaw created by her Watch returns to meet the CEOs in a new appearance.Mad Sister Cindy Looper is being prepared as a Ranger with an all-around attack. Her long attack range allows Cindy to consistently attack her opponents at a safe distance. Mad Sister Cindy Looper can be recruited through Normal Recruitment. [ New Christmas Seasonal Episode - The Holy Night Chocolate Mousse Cake Incident ]A new Seasonal Episode is coming soon this Christmas. The new Christmas Seasonal Episode, The Holy Night Chocolate Mousse Cake Incident, is about the story of Claudia Nelson's journey to create a special cake for Christmas. We hope you will all watch to see what kind of miracle will happen for the nun who chases miracles and the people she meets along her journey to complete the chocolate mousse cake. [ New Skin - Miracle Patissier - Claudia Nelson ]A new skin for Claudia Nelson will be added to coincide with the new Christmas Seasonal Episode.The new skin [Miracle Patissier - Claudia Nelson] is a Premium Skin that includes exclusive Skill Cut-in and effects, acquirable for all CEOs through the event in December. [ Permanent Daily Resource Challenge ]We plan to revamp the daily resource challenges, which were previously only available on specific days of the week, but can be entered at any time starting in December. While the daily resource challenges allowed CEOs to acquire necessary resources such as credits and enhancement modules, we have determined that the limitation of only being available on specific days made it difficult to obtain needed resources immediately. Therefore, we will be making the daily resource challenges permanently available, allowing CEOs to acquire resources through the desired challenge at any convenient time.◆ Target Challenge DungeonsChloe's Credit Search (Credit)Chloe's Gear Material Search (Advanced Gear Material)Kim Hana's Performance Evaluation (Special Appraisal)[Simplification of Material Items] Along with the permanent activation of daily resource challenges, we will also be simplifying material items.CounterSide has a variety of materials required for the creation of specific ships, gears, and supplies.Many CEOs have requested improvements as many found the process of acquiring and producing multiple materials to be cumbersome.The development team has actively reviewed the opinions and decided to merge or delete some material items.First, the quantity of Fusion Core Fragments and S-APT Cores required to make Fusion Cores is the same, so we will delete the Fusion Core Fragments and exchange the fragments you have for S-APT Cores.In cases where Fusion Core Fragments were previously required, the same quantity of S-APT Cores will now be used instead.In addition, Special Catalysts, Conversion Approvals, and Training Gear Materials will be deleted and replaced with credits, and Standard Gear Materials will be exchanged for one Advanced Gear Material for every three.Finally, ship materials such as High-elasticity Armor and Ship Charge will be unified into High-elasticity Armor, making it easier to create the desired ships.◆ Material Item Exchange [Supply Operation Revamp] Supply Operations will also be revamped along with the permanent daily resource challenges and the simplification of some material items.First, supply operations that allow you to obtain credits, gear materials, special catalysts, conversion approvals, and ship materials, such as [Profit Creation], [Military Supply Acquisition], and [Investigation Activities] will be removed.Furthermore, the rewards for stages in the [Riot Suppression] supply operation that allow you to obtain Appraisals will be changed to ship materials.Other than that, [Talent Recruitment] to obtain unit data and [Covert Ops] to obtain Info, Tuning Binaries, and ship-type materials will be maintained, but the Loot [Ship Component] will be replaced with a unified High-elasticity Armor.◆ Items to be RemovedProfit Creation (Credit)Military Supply Acquisition (Gear/Gear Material)Investigation Activities (Special Catalysts / Ship Materials /Conversion Approvals)◆ ChangesAppraisal rewards in [Riot Suppression] supply operation changed to ship materials.Loot [Ship Component] in [Covert Ops] changed to a unified High-elasticity Armor.[ Today’s Deal Item Overhaul ]In December, we plan to revamp the items available in [Today’s Deal], which many CEOs utilize.The [Today’s Deal] offers a variety of goods, ranging from resources necessary for hiring employees, such as Classified Employment Contracts and Employment Contracts, to materials needed for ship and employee development, such as ship materials and Appraisals.However, there has been a discrepancy between the difficulty of obtaining items through gameplay and the prices and perceived value of items sold in the [Today’s Deal].As a result, some CEOs may feel that purchasing certain items, especially those sold for Quartz, is a waste of resources.To address this, we plan to remove some Quartz items from the [Today’s Deal] and add more useful items, making the [Today’s Deal] a more effective way for CEOs to acquire the resources.With the revamp of Resource Challenge, material items, Supply Operation, and [Today’s Deal] items, we hope that CEOs will find CounterSide easier and more enjoyable to play.◆ Items to be Removed- Ship Charge (Quartz / Credit)- Heavy Covering (Quartz / Credit)- Superconductor (Quartz / Credit)- Conversion Approval (Quartz / Credit)- Special Catalyst (Quartz / Credit)- APT Core (Quartz)- S-APT Core (Quartz)- Enhancement Module (Quartz)- Advanced Gear Material (Quartz)- Nano Precision Enhancement Module (Quartz)- Basic Training Data (Quartz)- Prime Training Data (Quartz)- Tuning Binary (Quartz)- Normal Ship Schematics (Quartz)- Special Ship Schematics (Quartz)- Black Box Fragment (Quartz)- Eternium Propellant (Quartz)- Ship Material (Quartz)- Prime Ship Material (Quartz)- Appraisal (Quartz)- High Appraisal (Quartz)◆ New Items- S-Fusion Core (Quartz)- Set Binary (Quartz)- Relic Binary (Quartz)- Eternium (Credit)- Precision Enhancement Module (Credit)- Special Appraisal (Credit)- Fusion Core (Credit)◆ Price Change- Fusion Core (Quartz)[Addition of Branch Dive Skip Function]With the addition of more Dive Measured Coordinates, the time required to clear branch dives that appear when completing branch missions has increased.While World Map dives have value where CEOs can clear high-difficulty exploration coordinates, we have determined that the increasing clear time of branch dives, which appear continuously, is a burden on CEOs.Therefore, we will improve the existing Sweep function, which allows you to directly challenge the boss, by changing it to a skip function, allowing you to conveniently obtain dive rewards.We hope that the addition of the branch dive skip function will alleviate the burden that CEOs feel from repeatedly performing branch dives.[World Map Raid]While it won't be updated in December, we are preparing for an improvement to the World Map Raid, targeting January 2025.With the boss level of the World Map Raid increasing to 190, many CEOs have expressed that the fatigue from raiding has increased. To alleviate the inconvenience felt by CEOs, our development team is considering ways to improve the World Map Raid.First, we are considering adding a raid wipeout function that many CEOs have requested.The raid wipeout function is planned to activate after achieving a designated minimum damage for the season, and then instantly deal damage based on the highest damage dealt within the season.However, as this is a function that does not currently exist in CounterSide, a thorough examination of the feasibility of development is necessary after the planning is complete.Therefore, we ask for your understanding that we will provide more detailed information on the possibility of adding the wipeout function in the next developer's note.In addition to the raid wipeout function, we are also preparing to reduce the amount of Info consumed to enter the raid.The reduction in the amount of Info consumed will only apply when supporting a raid that someone else has requested support for, and the amount of Info consumed will decrease when dealing damage to the raid boss exceeds the designated minimum damage.The Info reduction will be applied differently depending on the level of the raid boss, and specific numbers will be provided later.[Observation Mode - Draft Pick and Ban]We regret to inform you that the update schedule for the [Observation Mode - Draft Pick and Ban] feature, previously announced for November, has been changed.[Observation Mode - Draft Pick and Ban] was designed to allow you to observe not only the battles themselves, but also the ban/pick strategies of other CEOs.However, we have discovered a bug during the development process, and we are working to fix it. The update is now scheduled for early January.We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we will strive to provide a more complete observation mode.[ Regarding the Global Unified Squad Tournament ]In our 1.5th Anniversary broadcast, we mentioned that we were preparing to hold a Global Unified Squad Tournament with the Korea server within the year.Since then, we have adjusted the update cycle of the Global server as quickly as possible, but there is still a difference in the Squad Tournament seasons and employee pool between the Korean and Global servers.Additionally, since the two servers use separate servers, we have determined that it is necessary to secure sufficient time for feature development and testing.Therefore, instead of hastily proceeding with the unified Squad Tournament this year, we would like to postpone the schedule and provide you with a more stable condition.We sincerely apologize to all CEOs around the world who were looking forward to meeting each other in the Global Unified Squad Tournament.We are planning to launch it by the 2nd Anniversary, and we will provide more detailed information once development is complete.[ Regarding Appreciation Kit ]Since we informed you about the Appreciation Kit in September, many of you have inquired about the preparation process.We have finished producing physical samples of the kit, and we will etch the names of our CEOs to deliver them.Check the completed samples below for the reference.◆ Appreciation Kit◆ Coffin Company Emergency Ready Bag◆ Appreciation Plaque◆ A5 Illustration Frame◆ Coffin Company Insignia◆ Counterside Design Pen & Metal BadgeOnce all samples are complete, we will engrave your name based on the information you provided and deliver the kit to you.We apologize for the time it is taking to create a high-quality appreciation kit that you will be satisfied with, and we will do our best to deliver the kit as soon as possible.Also, if any of the CEOs who are eligible for the appreciation kit have not yet submitted the shipping information, please refer to the notice at the link below and submit your shipping information.▷ [ LINK ] to the announcement.This will be all for the November Dev Notes. Thank you
Dear CEOs, December 1 is Felix's birthday!A special postcard is here to celebrate the occasion!

Dear CEOs, November 9 is Amy Firstwing's birthday!A special postcard is here to celebrate the occasion!
Dear CEOs,This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.The Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection System mentioned in the last October 2024 Dev Notes will be implemented during the November 13 update.We understand that many of our CEOs have eagerly anticipated this system, so we would like to explain it in more detail before the update.The Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection System is a mileage system in which our CEOs can receive an ensured selection opportunity based on the number of tuning and set binaries used.The mileage will accumulate based on the total number of tuning and set binaries used on any gear, not as an individual mileage accumulation for each gear.The mileage is purely based on the number of tuning and set binaries our CEOs have used. The accumulation is not affected by whatever option our CEOs have received from the gear tuning or the grade of gear our CEOs have used the binaries on, and so forth. Keep in mind that tuning binaries used on Gear Precision will not count.The ensured selection opportunity for the gear and set option is granted when our CEOs use 500 or more tuning and set binaries, and the number exceeding 500 will be reflected in the mileage count for the next selection.Moreover, if the cumulative mileage reaches 500 during the gear and set option change, CEOs will not be able to make additional changes until confirming or canceling the option. We have summarized the information provided above for your reference.▣ Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection SystemEnsured Selection will activate when 500 tuning and set binaries are usedTuning Binaries spent on Gear Precision will not count toward the mileageMileage is accumulated as a total binary usage, not individually for each gearMileage is purely based on the number of tuning and set binaries used, regardless of other factorsMileage accumulation exceeding 500 at the activation point is reflected in the cumulative count for the next activationExample: If you use 12 set binaries for a tier 7 gear option change when the mileage count is 494, the next set binary usage count will start from 6.No additional tuning and set binaries can be used when the system is activatedAfter activating the system, CEOs can proceed with the next ensured selection accumulation after confirming or canceling the current optionThe option currently held by the gear is locked and cannot be selectedA kind reminder that the number of tuning and set binaries used before the system update will not be reflected, as mentioned in the previous developer's note. We hope that this newly added Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection System will help our CEOs obtain the gear more easily.We will continue to listen to your valuable feedback and strive to provide an environment where our CEOs can enjoy CounterSide even more.Thank you.

Dear CEOs,This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.In this month of Dev Notes, we'll provide more details about the upcoming November 2024 update. [ Mainstream EP.12 Garden of Memories ] In the upcoming Mainstream EP. 12, with the support of Lotus Senior the Administrator will venture into the Northern Union. As the Administrator seeks to uncover the countless remnants of past Administration Failure and the memories of the Valkyries hidden beneath Ground Zero’s Counterside, they must navigate the treacherous territory of the Northern Union, a hostile faction of the Administration.This new episode promises to unravel the past story of the Administration Failure and Hilde sheds light on the enigmatic hostile force, the Brothers Abandoned.[ New Awakened Employee - Red Witch Felix ]A new awakened employee, [Red Witch Felix] will be released along with the Mainstream EP. 12, Garden of Memories.Felix is a Soldier with a Tower role who utilizes various types of summons and can contribute to securing the team's air superiority.◆ Red Witch Felix[ Cafe Strega 2nd Anniversary Event ]In November, Cafe Strega will hold its 2nd anniversary event.As part of this event, a new skin for Ingrid Johanna will be added, following the previously released skins for Evelyn Keller and Yuna Springfield.Additionally, for CEOs who cannot visit Cafe Strega's 2nd branch in person, in-game furniture from the actual cafe is created to collect. Using this new furniture, you can now enjoy the atmosphere of Cafe Strega's 2nd branch in the game.◆ Ingrid Johanna◆ Cafe Strega Interior Set [ Maze Gear Acquisition Increase ]CounterSide features various gear, including normal gear, Shadow Palaces, Raid, limited gear like Maze gear, and Relic gear, where CEOs need to equip different gear to suit various situations.Relic gear is generally considered as the end-game gear, but acquiring the necessary materials through Dimension Trimming to get Relic gear requires a significant level of gear to clear the stages.Additionally, while Maze gear is highly effective, it is limited in acquisition, placing a burden on CEOs to gear up.To alleviate the stress of gearing up and facilitate preparation for high-end content like Dimension Trimming, we are preparing to introduce the Maze gear crafting materials in the Shadow Palace shops for CEOs to purchase.Furthermore, we also plan to reduce the cost of crafting Maze gear using existing Dimension Cubes to lessen the burden on CEOs.We hope the increase in Maze gear acquisition will help CEOs enjoy a wider variety of content. [ Observation Mode and Draft Ban Pick Update ]Observation Mode will be introduced to the Global server very soon.The feature can be used as the following.◇ Method 1A new [Create Room] option will be added to the [Friendly Match Options]. After finishing up the options, you can create an observation room by selecting [Create Room].A unique [Observation Code] will be assigned to the created observation room. You can share this code with those who want to observe through other messaging apps.CEOs who receive the observation code can enter the [Friendly Match] as an observer after entering the code. ◇ Method 2Create an observation room by selecting from the [Friendly Match Options] and selecting [Create Room].Directly invite the opponent and observations from the [Partner] or the list of [Consortium Members].Once the opponent or observers accept the invitation, the opponent will be placed in the [Friendly Match] to prepare for the match, and the observers will be directed to an observation waiting room.Once all participants are ready and enter the match, a dedicated toggle button will be generated for observers.By clicking the target toggle button, observers can switch between the perspectives of each competitor. The initial perspective will be the left-side competitor’s perspective.Observers can leave the observation screen at any time during the match.Furthermore, we are developing a feature that allows observers to see not only the matches but also the pick-and-ban process so that you can watch the Gauntlet battles and pick-and-ban strategies of other CEOs. Additionally, we are preparing to update various improvements, such as entering HanaTalk within the observation mode and copying text. [ Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection System ]CounterSide gear features options and set options, where tuning and set binaries are required to tune these options to your desired ones. To obtain the desired options among the various options and set options attached to the gear, a large number of tuning and set binaries are consumed. Due to this, many CEOs have requested the addition of a 'pity' system that allows them to definitively change the options and set options of gear. Although the development team has continuously discussed it, it has been very difficult to modify the Gear Tuning system due to the numerous tuning and set binary items that have been used since this system was added. However, we have concluded that the fact that there is no guarantee of obtaining the desired options even when using countless tuning and set binaries can have a more negative impact on the CEOs' play experience, and decided to develop a system that allows you to select the desired options after using a certain amount of tuning and set binaries. The [Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection System] is still under development, so it is difficult to say the exact schedule and details. However, we plan to develop it in the form of mileage where you can select the desired option at a certain number of attempts, and we are trying to update it in mid-November.However, please understand that the tuning and set binaries used before the update of the [Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection System] will not be reflected because tuning and set binaries usage records are only stored for a certain period, making it difficult to take fair measures for all CEOs. We hope that the [Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection System] will help you have a more enjoyable experience. [ Growth Resources Improvements ]We have received numerous suggestions from CEOs regarding the resources required for employee growth.After careful review and internal discussions, we have decided to implement the following improvements.■ Increased Entry Count for Kim Hana's Talent Cultivation Challenge (Fusion Cores)Many CEO have expressed concern about the shortage of Fusion Cores, which are essential for creating S-Fusion Cores and reaching level 110.To address this, we will increase the basic weekly entry count for Kim Hana's Talent Cultivation Challenge and allow for additional entries using Quartz.▼ Breakdown of Changes to Kim Hana's Talent Cultivation Challenge (Fusion Cores)▷ Basic weekly entry count: 9 → 12▷ Entry count recharge: 3 times/week▷ Cost per recharge: 80 Quartz▷ Additional entries per recharge: 3■ Removal of Special Catalyst from S-Fusion Core Crafting RequirementMany CEOs have expressed concern about the burden of acquiring Special Catalysts, which are required to craft S-Fusion Cores with the expansion of the maximum employee level.To reduce the burden, we will remove Special Catalysts from the crafting materials for S-Fusion Cores.■ Increased Rewards from Simulation OperationsWe have received feedback that the rewards obtained from Simulations are insufficient to meet the needs as the game has expanded and more employees have been released.Therefore, we will increase the amount of base rewards obtained from Simulations.These improvements regarding growth resources will be applied immediately through the update on October 29. Please refer to the patch notes for more details. [ New Operater - Esther Priest Jung Dain ]Jung Da-in, who has been loved by many CEOs through [Counters Saga], will return in a new form.Operator Esther Priest Jung Dain is a beautiful cleric who helps adventurers on their journey. With her skilled abilities, vast knowledge, and gentle nature, she has earned the absolute trust of her companions.Please refer to future patch notes for more detailed information.◆ Esther Priest Jung Dain [New Skins - Hero Party]In November 2024, two new skins will be added to the game.◆ Hero★Starlight - Mi Rinae ◆ Violet Witch - Jin Bora[ Balance Adjustment and Recall ]We sincerely apologize for the concerns and frustrations caused by the recent balance adjustments and recall process.We especially apologize for the negligence of some employees which significantly impacted the overall game environment and balance, and deeply regret that we failed to address the concerns raised by CEOs to correct them on time. As a result, certain employees became mandatory bans in the Ranked Gauntlet, preventing CEOs from using them and also causing the elongation of match time regardless of the result. Additionally, other employees exhibited overpowered abilities in PvE which ignored gimmicks, which diminished the enjoyment of strategic gameplay.Despite these imbalances, CEOs adapted by developing new strategies and utilizing different employees. However, the development team became so focused on the delayed balance adjustments that we neglected to appreciate the dedication and effort CEOs had invested. As a result, we hastily implemented a recall system as compensation, which fell short of expectations.We sincerely apologize for the disappointment caused by this rash decision.Furthermore, along with the recent balance patch, other significant changes brought about by the maximum employee level expansion have led to widespread disappointment. We are also deeply sorry for failing to fulfill the various promises we have made to CEOs through previous announcements.We believe that demonstrating gradual improvements is more important than making additional promises that may not be kept. Going forward, we, the entire Counterside development team, will actively listen to CEOs' feedback to establish the direction for future balance adjustments and game development, especially on content that could significantly impact the game. We will establish communication channels, including developer notes, via pre-release explanations and surveys, to actively listen to your feedback.We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this balance adjustment and hope you kindly accept the compensation we have prepared.◆ Compensation- 5 S-Fusion Cores ◆ Delivery Schedule- Oct. 25, 2024, 05:00 (UTC-5)※ The compensation will be available until November 2, 09:59 (UTC-5) in the in-game mailbox.※ The mail will expire after 7 days after receiving the mail.This concludes the end of Dev Notes for October 2024. Thank you.
Dear CEOs,This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.Last August, to celebrate CounterSide Origin's 1.5th anniversary, we provided the CEOs with a coupon code for a special reward, including an SSR Awakened Testimonial.In addition, when we released the coupon code, we informed that there is an expiration date and a note that it cannot be used after the expiration. However, we confirmed that the 1.5th anniversary coupon codes are being used even after the expiration has passed, and we noticed that the reward is being exchanged normally through the mail when the coupon code is used. Furthermore, the expiration date of the reward item exchanged separately from the coupon code is set to October 9th, so if synchronization occurs between the device and the server after exchanging the reward item through the coupon code, an error occurs in which the reward item disappears. We apologize for the confusion caused and for the fact that you were unable to use the reward items properly. Now we will inform you about the response measures to this coupon code expiration date and error. First, the two coupon codes with expiration date errors are as followsCoupon CodeContentCS1.5BROADCAST▷ 1 [Anniversary] SSR Awakened Testimonial▷ 1 [Anniversary]SSR Recruitment CouponCS1.5ANNIVERSARY▷ 1 Uncommon Skin Selection Coupon▷ 1 Britra Relic Gear Latent Ability Selection Coupon▷ 1 Inhibitor Relic Gear Latent Ability Selection Coupon ▣ Changes in the Coupon Code Expiration Date Schedule◆ Previous Schedule▷ Aug. 14 - Sept. 14, 2024, 09:59 (UTC-5)◆ Changed Schedule▷ Aug. 14 - Oct. 30, 2024, 09:59 (UTC-5) ▣ Compensation for Deleted Coupons due to Expiration Full restoration of all unused 1.5th anniversary coupon rewards due to item expiration.Restoration of coupon code rewards for those who redeemed the coupon code before September 14th but have not used the rewards.Scheduled restoration: We will verify the usage status of all coupon codes and rewards after the expiration date, October 30th. All unused rewards will be restored during the first week of November.Usage period: Restored items can be used until 14:00 on December 4th. After this date, unused items will be deleted.Note: CEOs who have already used the reward contents after redeeming the coupon code are not eligible for this restoration.We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the expiration date error and will provide our CEOs with more detailed information in the upcoming patch notes.We are committed to preventing similar issues from occurring in the future and apologize for the recent issues that have caused concern among many of our CEOs. We will be implementing additional quality control processes and conducting more thorough testing during development.Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Dear CEOs,This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.On October 16th, we made an update that consolidated the weekly entry counts for challenges previously limited to specific days. Unfortunately, an error occurred during the update process, affecting the entry counts for Chloe's Info Search (Info) and Kim Hana's Talent Cultivation (Fusion Cores) challenges. This resulted in some CEOs being able to enter these challenges with additional entries or having their entry counts reset, depending on their gameplay.We first sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused and for the inequality in-game content access that this error created.Upon internal investigation, we found that CEOs could have potentially gained up to an additional week's worth of [Info] and [Fusion Cores] due to this error.To ensure fairness among all CEOs, we will compensate all CEOs who participated in the affected challenges at least once from October 15, 14:00 to October 20, 14:00 (UTC-5). The compensation will be calculated by subtracting the amount of [Info] and [Fusion Cores] that CEOs acquired from the maximum amount they could have gained due to the error.Additionally, CEOs who entered these challenges more than the weekly entry count will be refunded the [Eternium] they spent on the extra entries.As an apology for the inconvenience caused by this challenge entry error, we will be providing all CEOs with 20 [Fusion Cores] and 20,000 [Info].Please refer to the following for more details.▣ Error Compensation◆ Content- 20 Fusion Cores- 20,000 Info◆ Compensation Delivery Schedule- October 18, 2024, 03:00 (UTC-5)※ The compensation delivery will be available until Oct. 25, 2024, at 09:59 (UTC-5).※ The mail will expire 7 days starting from the day of delivery.▣ Compensation Table Based on Number of Challenge Entries◆ Chloe's Info Search (Info)◆ Kim Hana's Talent Cultivation (Fusion Cores)◆ Compensation Delivery Schedule- October 23, 2024, during maintenance※ The compensation will be delivered to the in-game mailbox until Nov. 1, 2024, at 09:59 (UTC-5).※ The mail will expire 7 days starting from the day of delivery. We deeply apologize once again for the inequality in content provided due to the error in challenge entry counts.Thank you.
Dear CEOs,This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.As announced in our September Dev Notes, the 1st phase of the balance adjustments was applied on October 2nd. Concurrently, a recall of the affected employees is being conducted. However, due to the recent implementation of recall functions for Awakened Employees and Ships in addition to policy changes, the recall process was carried out without detailed explanations, confusing many CEOs.We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of detailed information regarding the recall process. Ahead of the second phase of the balance adjustment scheduled for October 23rd, we would like to provide a more in-depth explanation of the recall system.Going forward, the recall system in CounterSide will be divided into two main categories: Employee and Ship Recall. ▣ Employee RecallWith a Tactical Update and an increase in the number of employees obtainable from certain Substreams, the development team has added new policies and features to the existing recall system.Please note that from now on, when employees are recalled due to balance adjustments or other reasons, the following rules will apply, as shown in the table below. ▣ Ship RecallWhile it would be possible to apply the same recall system used for employees when adjusting the balance of ships, the complexities introduced by the Implant Remodeling level and the various stats of unlocked from the Command Modules necessitate implementing a new recall policy and system specifically for Ships.Please note that from this point onward, when Ships are recalled due to balance adjustments or other reasons, the following rules will apply, as shown in the table below. The development team has observed that employees' and ships' performance can vary significantly between PvP and PvE environments and differing player experiences. We initially considered a balance adjustment separately for PvP and PvE environments.However, we determined that simply separating PvP and PvE environments for balance adjustments would result in excessively complex stat and skill calculations and might not satisfy our CEOs.Therefore, for future balance adjustments, we will implement the recall policies shown above to allow CEOs to directly adjust squads in response to the changing game environment.While we believe that the new recall system with additional policies is a step in the right direction, we acknowledge that it may not be a perfect solution for all balance adjustment scenarios.We will continue to listen to the valuable feedback from our CEOs and provide advance notice and follow-up measures whenever balance adjustments are necessary.Thank you.
