Alright friends.
In an effort to stagger out the wave of upgrades, I’m going to release this a bit earlier than the ending of the Second Event. Basically what this is meant to do is to ensure that anyone joining a bit later on who missed the last event can stay within spitting distance of most other students.
The new character creation load-out in terms of abilities will look like this (unchanged but putting this here for clarity):
One E rank Semblance
One F rank weapon
In addition to the choice of either:
Two F ranked Non-Combat Abilities and Three F ranked Combat Abilities
OR
Four F ranked Combat Abilities
This is effectively a 151 or 150 experience jump from the previous starting loadout. These updates to starting power level will occur infrequently, as this is the first such update coming in around the six month mark. This is not a massive jump, and is not intended to be. Being consistently active and participating in events is still the best way to progress, and will continue to be for the duration of The Remnant Project.
For existing characters, this may or may not have any impact at all.
For characters participating in Event 2 there are no changes. This does not affect you, and your rewards from EP alone are higher than this boost.
For characters not participating in Event 2 you will get at least some benefit out of this.
If your character’s total earned experience is below 200 your character gets to choose one of the loadouts above. Generally this means an increase of two F-ranked combat abilities, but can mean two F-ranked non-combat abilities and one F-ranked combat ability.
If your character’s total earned experience is above 200 your character will receive one free F-ranked combat ability with this update regardless of earned XP as long as you did not participate in the second event.
For your individual progression threads, instead of noting experience deducted just have the phrase July Progression Update in place of the XP you would normally give up for this stuff.
All documents should be updated (along with adjusting the minimum age to 18 for new characters as almost 6 months have passed since opening) and if there is any 'now incorrect due to this announcement' wording in any of the documents please report it so I can fix it.
