2. QoL Improvements (Major Changes)
Perfect World officially acknowledged the game is too grindy. Changes coming in 1.1:
| Change | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Daily tasks | 4 tasks | Reduced to 2-3 |
| Weekly tasks | Heavy | Streamlined |
| Daily time | 15-20 min | ~10 min target |
| Pink Paw Coin event | Too hard | Difficulty reduced |
This is a rare case of a developer publicly admitting excessive grind and committing to fix it.
3. Banner Schedule (Estimated)
| Timing | Banner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-May | Hotori (live) | Anima S-rank |
| 1.1 first half | Lacrimosa | Chaos S-rank, weapon switch |
| 1.1 second half | Chaos | New S-rank |
Pull advice: Save for one pity. Lacrimosa if you need Chaos DPS, Hotori if you need Anima. F2P should pick one.
4. Free Rewards
- Free S-rank selector box (version update compensation)
- New redeem codes coming
- Event-exclusive rewards
5. Porsche Collaboration
Continuing with exclusive vehicles, races, and paid cosmetics (pricing controversial).
Summary
1.1 is NTE's first major test. Lacrimosa's weapon-switching mechanic and the grind reduction are the biggest highlights. Plan your pulls carefully and watch for the livestream.
