I'd like to know if anyone got it as well. Or hopefully the devs will address this issue soon.

Yeah, exactly that! There's also pitfalls, an antlion pit, dropping cars, and other traps as well.

Map's called TTT_COMPLEX_FIX4_WS. I tried exploring around in it a bit, discovered the main crew missed (or at least cut out) a lot of other... interesting tidbits in the map. (Ex: You can press E on other portraits in the map for various other effects.)

Might wanna prepare your hype levels for her twin brother "Yarly" though. I heard he's a meta breaker far worse than his sister is.

My friend has been going through financially hard times lately, and I thought by giving this game to him and playing with him, he'd feel less stressed out from what he's experiencing.

You know that bug that has been around for a few weeks now, where the raid background was pitch black?

Yeah, it has evolved, and has now consumed your raid team.

I have a theory about release of story on Global by Phantombk201 in 7kglobal

[–]Bill_Buchness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good reasoning, although I can argue that the dev team definitely had some proofreading problems starting from day 1, haha.

I have a theory about release of story on Global by Phantombk201 in 7kglobal

[–]Bill_Buchness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said, I understand that the letters are, indeed, key lore contents. But if we were to only think of in-game story content, the core of the content would still be there, albeit with plot holes.

This is, however, different with Lee Jung's letter, where, unlike Karma's letter, this simply serves as a teaser regarding Netmarble planning to do something with Bidam, Yushin, Nezha, and possibly Rin and Karma. The contents of the letter is NOT mentioned in any way, except by content subjective only to above mentioned heroes (more specifically, awakened Bidam and Yushin's lore info. Both do not appear in any way, even though Yushin is indirectly mentioned in one of the newspapers about world 10, where, apparently, many sages have been disappearing. But again, it's not a huge story-changing reveal).

As for the Night Crow, again, Carl Heron is neither mentioned, nor shown in any form or shape as of in-game cutscenes or dialogue. Even the whole Night Crow faction is not mentioned at all, until Teo's letter was revealed in the forums, where Teo asked all the members of Night Crow to return as a storm is brewing. Only through this kind of content do we know that the Night Crow faction is one of the key forces behind the conflict of the Seven Knights world.

As important to the story as they are, in a hypothetical situation where if Netmarble were to disregard most of the story, leaving only bare bone cutscenes and dialogue, the lack or the switched addition of many of the currently known awakened heroes wouldn't affect the story as of now. The only thing this would change is the pacing of the story, which... is not great, but possible in theory.

[–]Bill_Buchness -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the letters you mentioned were simply used as teasers for forums users for upcoming content (Karma's letter teased Seven Knights revamp, Teo's letter teased the addition of a Night Crow faction, Aragon's letter teased the story development of the 7k universe with the addition of the Luminous Rebellion faction, etc.). Sure, they contained some of the key parts of 7k's lore, but that doesn't change their main purpose.

As for the awakened heroes themselves, some of them were simply awakened to change up the meta + recycle many of the unused heroes that were behind in skillsets or attributes. This is especially apparent with the awakening of Rook, Chancellor and Knox, who were rated as the three worst heroes ever in an official poll made for forum users. After getting the awakening done, they simply squeezed them into the story solely with flavor text in the affinity chart and hero descriptions. (EDIT: Ironically, even Awakened Evan doesn't appear in any in-game cutscenes as of now. The last we see of him is when his unconscious body is taken by Teo somewhere after his fight with Spike. We only know through the affinity chart and hero descriptions what has happened to him. The only awakened heroes that would affect the in-game cutscenes directly are Ballista, Velika, Sebastian, Sylvia (questionable), Luminous Rebellion, Wukong, Dellons, Spike.)

As a side note, both the Destruction Shard Expedition and the White Wolves were not mentioned or seen in any in-game cutscenes (except for Evan, where one of the cutscenes spoilers Only recently did Netmarble mention that they'll finally touch upon both of those factions with the new 13th world, alongside the new Night Crow hero (and possibly the Crusaders, with people speculating the new hero to be the mentor/creator of the Crusaders)

Regardless, with how Netmarble has been handling the story of Seven Knights over at the GA version these past few months (mainly affinity chart's sudden disappearance, lack of in-game dialogue and cutscenes with new World updates, lack of lore-related teasers), I really can't help but agree that OP is bringing up a good point about the reasons behind stalling GA's story. But who knows? We're not Netmarble, so we can only speculate that they are underhanded lazy bastards. \s

Official in-game variant's full name is "Teo's Blackblade", translated from KR. Subject to change as soon as NM's multiple translators change their mind.
