[Contents - Improvements]
  • Added Lock Item Position feature in inventory.
    - We received comments on the inconvenience of items used frequently or swapped not being in the desired position on auto-sort which sorts them according to item type. Therefore, we added the lock item position feature inside the bag.
      - The ‘Lock Item Position’ button is added on below of inventory UI, and a related pop-up window appears on button click.
      - The mouse cursor changes into lock item position mode when clicking the pop-up's [Lock / Unlock Item Position] feature, and locks or unlocks when clicking the item along with its frame change.
      - Position locked items can be used for shop sales, destroy, use, upgrade, auction house list, etc. normally.
  • Expanded range of UI size control.
    - Min. 70% to max. 130% UI size control value has been added to be able to play the game with wider adjustments.
    - Furthermore, 80% and 90% applied values have improved to be set exact to remove errors in the developing process.
    - However, please take into consideration that inheritors who set UI size to 80%, 90% previously can see the UI become a bit smaller or shortcut location scattered.
  • Added space where you can set the Optimization Mode shortcut.
    - We received comments on the inconvenience of the optimization mode used frequently at the bottom right HUD being removed after the UI improvement update. Therefore, we added a feature that can set the shortcut key in the mode.
    - There is no shortcut key and you can use it after appointing a new one.
      - Setting location: Options > Key Settings > Misc. > Optimization Mode On/Off
  • Improved Raid Commander Chat.
     - We received comments on the difficulty of distinguishing certain raid chat as commander chat always appears at the center of the screen and overlaps with the quest count message. Therefore, we improved the chat settings as shown below.
       - Raid Commander Chat location has been adjusted to lower than that of the previous.
       - The ‘Display Commander Chat Screen at the Center’ ON/OFF feature has been added.
         - Setting location: Options > Game Settings > Functionality > Display Commander Chat Screen at the Center
     - The background of certain system message has changed to appear more clearly along with the raid commander chat.
  • Adjusted Akasch Invasion Investigation daily quest to be able to share with the raid.
    - We received comments on the difficulty of proceeding with the Akasch Invasion Investigation daily quest due to individual competition. Therefore, we adjusted the same raid to share the progress when interacting with the Sphere and Compass.
    - However, please take into account that you need to be located 25M within the target to interact.
  • Improved Marketplace purchase limit icon.
    - We received comments on the difficulty of distinguishing the same icon with different item purchase limits (per account, character, daily) at the Marketplace. Therefore, we adjusted the colors of the icon to be applied differently for each purchase limit.
      - Purchase limit per account: Green (Remains the current setting)
      - Purchase limit per character: Orange
      - Daily purchase limit per account: Purple
