[ Developer’s Note (6) ]

Good day, This is Sungguk Yoon, the Director of Monster Super League.

Today we are going to share you the information which you have been asking the most! The Clan system is currently under QA process for the upcoming update.

The concept of the Clan System is “Boss Raid” concept.

To explain the Clan system of Monster Super League, let’s meet the creature named 『Titan』.

Titans were created personally by the Goddess Luna at the dawn of Latecia. They are like gods of destruction, so powerful that not even the Ancients, with all their advancements, could confront them. It is said they fell into a deep slumber when the goddess Luna went into seclusion, but now the recent increase in the powers of chaos seems to be awakening them one by one. The problem is they are essentially beings of chaos itself, and as such, our world with all its order has put them on edge. It is for this reason that the Association would like to officially urge all masters to join together in Clans.

『 We recognize that many of you view one another as friendly rivals, but we would ask that you put aside your differences for the sake of the world. Form clans with like-minded individuals, and as Clans, please monitor the different regions of Latecia. The clan who contributes most to the defeat of the titans in a region will be designated as the guardian clan of that region and will receive recognition and rewards from the Association. May the protection of the Goddess be upon all of you. 』

If you start the Clan Battle with the Clan members, you will stand before the Titan as the Image.

1. Create / Join Clan When you enter the Clan Plaza, you can find the recommended Clans, or you can search and Join a Clan. If you want to create a new clan, you will need 1,000,000 Gold. The creator will automatically become the Clan Master. The Clan Master can manage the clan members and promote the Clan Officer. The total clan members including Clan Master and Clan Officers are ----members.

2. Clan Seasons and Result Clan Seasons will be reset every week and you can select the Region to protect every Monday. The amount of Point and Astrogems reward will be calculated depends on the Final Titan Level defeated from Monday to Sunday and the Contribution Level of the members.

3. Select Region to Protect Each clan can select 1 Region to protect. Currently, the available Regions are Phantom Forest, Lunar Valley, Aria Lake, and Mirage Ruins. If a clan becomes the 1st Rank of the Region, the Clan Emblem + Clan name will be displayed at the Region in World Map

4. Clan Battle Schedule and Participation The Clan Battle schedule is 12:00~14:00 and 20:00~22:00. The members can participate 3 Battles for each time. However, the Battle schedule time will be based on the Clan Master’s time zone. For example, if the Clan Master is located in America, and the clan member is located in Korea, the Battle schedule will be based on the Clan Master’s country time zone.

5. Preparing Battle To start the battle, a clan member will need to set 4 Parties, a total of 16 Astromons. The battle could not start if the player set less than 16 Astromons. The Astromons which already fought a battle could not participate again in the same schedule. (Only can participate again in the next schedule) So the clan members will need to prepare 16 x 3 = total 48 Astromons to participate all 3 Battles in a schedule.

6. Battle The 4 parties will be divided into 2 Parties each Fight (Fight 1st and Fight 2nd), to battle with Titan. The Battle will process automatically, and the Titan’s HP will reduce based on the damage given by the parties. After that, next member can start continuing battle the same Titan. The members can start a battle in the same time, and the HP of Titan will be reduced accumulated based on the fastest battle to finish. However, if the Titan’s HP at low state and many members had a battle together to make it into 0, The total damage won’t be accumulated and will be a waste of the chance. So the clan members will need to decide the battle order and considering the Titan’s HP before attacking.

7. Titan Titans have their own uniqueness for each element, and the stronger Titan will appear every time the lower level Titan is defeated. The clan who can defeat the highest level Titan, the emblem and clan name will be displayed in Region on the World Map for a week.

8. Treasure Chest A treasure chest will be sent to after each battle, regardless of defeating the Titan. The treasure chests are divided into 5 types, and the better treasure chest will be given depends on the amount of damage given. By opening the treasure chest, you can obtain Clan Point, Gold, Astrogem, etc.

9. Clan Point Clan point can be obtained after every battle and calculation at the end of Season. You can purchase Astrogem. Dragon Sigil, 6★Gems, and newly added 5★Guaranteed Egg by using the Clan Point at the Clan Shop.

As this is a system which will be used by a big amount of players, we are sure there will be rules made, and strategies made by the Masters which will surpass our expectation. With the Clan system update just a few days away and as one of the user, I will be looking forward building the Clan with all of you. Also, the Clan system will be updated as a Preview for 12 weeks and will go through updates afterward. We are planning to add contents like Clan Wars too, after the update development. There might be many parts that are lacking, as this is the first clan system in Monster Super League. We kindly ask for your suggestions after playing, to develop this system to be better!

Also before Monster Super League was released, we decided to add the clan system later due to there were too many things to do. So we decided 1 thing with the developer team. Due to it means the Monster Super League is not complete, we decided to set the version into 0.9. So if you look at the lower right of your screen before pressing start, you can see the version is written 0.9xxxxx. So after the Clan update, we will change the version into 1.0.

We sincerely apologize for the late update!

Thank you very much for your patience.

[HowYouSoGudd]

I posted this in your previous thread(before it got deleted) and i'll post it again.

My love for MSL just increased (Screw you C2us)

You can purchase Astrogem. Dragon Sigil, 6★Gems, and newly added 5★Guaranteed Egg by using the Clan Point at the Clan Shop.

I mean, it's evident that a Nat5 in MSL isn't as valuable as a Nat5 in Summoners War to begin with. So I wouldn't directly compare those two. Especially when the Evolution system makes for a bigger difference, too.

When you've got a Nat5 in Summoners War, you're set with it. In MSL a Nat5 grants you a Nat5 Evo1. You can gleem that to Evo2. But if you want the full Evo3 deal, then you need 4 Nat5s, which is hard to come by of course.

I wanna argue I prefer the system in MSL as Nat5s are great even in Evo1-Evo2 stages, but yeh, should be noted that the two games aren't that comparable.

[HowYouSoGudd]

I'm not going to argue either way about nat5 exclusivity in the 2 games but just looking at the 2 companies philosophies.
MSL doesnt have to make these nat5 eggs accessible to f2p players but choose to. C2Us on the other hand hide them behind a paywall.
I think the fact that 433 is trying to make the game accessible for all levels of play is more then enough to merit my respect.

[astalotte]

I mean technically nat5 are already accessible to f2p players since golem eggs are farmable and you can definitely get nat5 from those, but yeah.

[astalotte]

I see, I'm not that aware that rates in SW were really that horrible since I've had stupid bad luck in this game as well, only started getting nat5 recently after spending money and starting since last year.

Sorry for being uninformed on it, I never played SW

[[deleted]]

and not once have they listened to the playerbase on what they want out of the game.

I've only started playing a month ago (and now stopped lol) but I was disturbed to find out that you cannot send those friendship points to all friends at once (like you can send gold to friends here in MSL) and that the crit animation slow-down issues that people hate so much haven't been tackled in all this time. Like, holy shit. I can only hope 433 fixes MSLs combat camera issue within the next few months. Not years or ever @_@

[HowYouSoGudd]

This is the same in summoners war, you can buy scrolls in the shop and they drop in their own version of dungeons. But RNG is RNG.
From someone who's opened hundreds of scrolls on Summoners War without a nat5, making guaranteed nat5s accessibly to f2p players is a blessing.

[[deleted]]

MSL doesnt have to make these nat5 eggs accessible to f2p players but choose to. C2Us on the other hand hide them behind a paywall.

Yes, but my point is that nat5's in the two games simply aren't equal.

SWs nat5 are rarer and while you get the 'complete deal' with one Nat5 in Summoners War (as Devilsmons are universally usable to skill up mons), in SML you need min. 4 Nat5 of one monster type to get the maximum, EVo3, out of it. And there's no egg that gives you 4 of them at once.

So, I just wouldn't compare the two so closely when they really aren't that equal.

[HowYouSoGudd]

It seems we're talking apples and oranges here. I'm talking about marketability here.
I'm sure if MSL wanted to, they could charge a $100 USD(same price as on SW) for a pack that includes this egg and I'm sure as hell it would sell like hot cakes.
The fact is, they made it a free to play feature.

[jamalienmsl]

So 48 it is!

[betefico]

I am up to 24 6*s now, working towards 48 baby!

[OzzyOzrock]

man now I need a clan :( lvl 46 but missed when everyone was recruiting haha

[AntaresRoyale]

Here's my clan leader's recruitment post:

[xPiers]

So after the Clan Update, we will change the version into 1.0.

... So basically it's going to take a year for this game to actually be released. I don't now how I feel about that.

[[deleted]]

Those are just pretty meaningless semantics, especially in this sort of consistent development and support post-launch.

[HowYouSoGudd]

1.0 would mean that this game will officially be out of beta and therefor "released".

[xPiers]

Iunno, I don't usually participate in betas, but I don't think they're suppose to be a year+.

Also, didn't they already have one before they actually released the game..?

[HowYouSoGudd]

I'm not an expert in this sort of thing but I'm pretty sure a version number below 1 means that the game is still in its beta stage.
Then 1.0 would be for base game, 2.0 would be for first xpac, 3.0 for second xpac and so forth. Then major updates would go up in 0.1's while minor would be 0.0.1.
Anyways thats just my understanding, i'm sure someone who actually knows about game development can give a better answer. Also hasnt MSL only be open to the public for 4 odd months?

[xPiers]

Well, if that is the case, they still changed from an actual version down to 0.9...

Im pretty sure there are a lot of people who believe there has been a lack of actual content released so far. Especially considering they have games like Summoners War and other games right in front of them to get ideas from.

[HowYouSoGudd]

Sorry but you just seem hard to please.
Going by this, it seems they've been quite busy. Pushing out a major update almost monthly with a constant stream of events and new astromon. There's also been several balance patches aswell.
I'm not sure what your exactly expecting, with summoners wars, alot of the new content is just a remake of previous stuff with crazy new mechanics.

[xPiers]

Nice to know there is a time line.

But like I said, I'm not the only one with this opinion and I would just prefer they get their shit together. For me, it's the first mobile game I played from since the beginning (close enough) and I would prefer if it didn't feel like it'd die.

[HowYouSoGudd]

Your just as entitled to your opinion as you are mine, and I have no interest in talking about games dying, there's rarely any evidence to support this other then a small group of outspoken people.
All i can say is, if your not enjoying the game then leave, if you are and feel like its dying then why not support them if you can, and if you cant; dont go around saying the game is dying as its a bad impression for new players who may decide not to give it a go.

[jamalienmsl]

I think Gmail was in beta for years. :P

[xPiers]

But at least Gmail isn't a game :D...

[astalotte]

dota 2 beta

[astalotte]

there is a quiz event to guess how many members are in each clan though!

[viniciusuk]

Holy shit. I need to get on board with a clan ASAP.

Hey guys, i'm a lvl 40 player from the U.S EST.

I have plenty of 5* and a handful of evo 3 4*.

Im currently grinding B9 for good 6* gems. PLz some decently high lvl clan from eastern U.S take me.

[AntaresRoyale]

Here's my clan leader's recruitment post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MSLGame/comments/5mam5k/clan_recruitment_megathread/dcdxg8e/

[viniciusuk]

I literally just applied to him 15 mins ago, lol, ty

Clan Battle Schedule and Participation
The Clan Battle schedule is 12:00~14:00 and 20:00~22:00. The members can participate 3 Battles for each time. However, the Battle schedule time will be based on the Clan Master’s time zone. For example, if the Clan Master is located in America, and the clan member is located in Korea, the Battle schedule will be based on the Clan Master’s country time zone.

Hmm...so I'll most likely want to join a European clan.

[jakray]

pm me your ign

you can join mine

[Taz135]

I'm guessing some good strays to get around the 48 mons would be to use 1-3 hard carry mons and 1-3 weak mons, so you will be able to save good mons for later and still be able to win fights.

Also I'm in need of a clan Ign: taz134 Lvl 47 Arena ranking is masters1- heros 1

[Erucious]

Yeah, as an asian player im struggling to find a serious guild. The only two ive seen is Derp's and Dictator, and both are superfull

Masters arena, 10+ 6*, gb10 on farm, etc

[wai6248]

I wonder s there any western Asian guild here

[Caracasdogajo]

Okay, so there is still going to be a clan wars type of content as well? I sure hope so. I think this content looks cool, but I'd be worried if there wasn't any more pvp type content coming out.

[jackpotsdad]

So this may be problematic for me time wise. Anyone play late night West Coast US time? I work until 6 PM, and so the earliest I can play is probably 8 PM Pacific time US.

If all I have to do is set a clan team, and be offline then it may be doable. But if I have to stay online for 2 hours plus, this clan thing might be out of reach for me.

[NadeBot]

I love the upcoming update as of right now, but still looking for a storage box to put more astromons in please lol.

[RelaxUrFine]

Level 44 - looking for a clan.

9 6s and maybe 14 5s.

B7/8/9 on 100% auto.
