Hello, Tamers. This is the Dragon Village 3 development team.

July has arrived, and the rainy season is now in full swing. We sincerely thank all Tamers for continuing to send warm support and interest to Dragon Village 3 despite the gloomy weather.

In this Developer Note, we would like to share a brief detailed update schedule for July that many Tamers may be curious about, along with our honest thoughts and future direction regarding the recent appreciation event.

Major Content and Upcoming Update Schedule

1. July 15 (UTC): Main Story Epilogue (Chapters 1-2) and New Plaza Addition

 - Main Story Epilogue: Chapters 1 and 2 of Epilogue Mode, which contains behind-the-scenes stories that could not be covered in the Main Story, are scheduled to be added. Many Tamers have shown great interest in the next Main Story. First, throughout July and August, we plan to build out the depth of the world and the stories of the dragons through Epilogue Mode and Sub Stories, then reveal Main Story Chapters 7-8 in a more polished form this September.

 - New Plaza System: A new Plaza, a community space where Tamers can communicate and enjoy content together, will be opened.

  · In the Plaza, we are developing a feature that allows you to set a Sticker wishlist so Stickers can be exchanged more conveniently.

  · We are also preparing a Golden Sticker Exchange Voting Event that Tamers can participate in directly, so please look forward to it.

2. July 22 (UTC): Gem Preset Addition and Gem Inventory Limit Increase

 - The Gem Preset System, which was previously announced as part of the convenience update, is finally scheduled to be introduced through the July 22 (UTC) update.

 - In addition, based on feedback from Tamers about insufficient bag space, a feature that allows you to increase the Gem inventory limit will also be added.

3. July 22 (UTC): Pickup Draw Pity System Improvement (Guaranteed Pity Introduction)

Dragon Village 3 has a pity system in its draw system where a Legendary item is guaranteed to appear within a certain number of draws. We deeply understand the sense of loss and fatigue you may have felt when you were unable to obtain the desired item from a Pickup Draw, commonly referred to as missing the pickup target.

To ease this, we plan to fully improve the system so that if a non-pickup item appears in a Pickup Draw, the next pity will guarantee the pickup item.

※ The pity system improvement is scheduled to be applied starting with the Pickup Draw taking place on July 22 (UTC).

4. In August: Raid Egg Guaranteed Acquisition (Pity) Feature Addition

The Raid Dragon Egg, which is a key reward from Raid content, is directly tied to the game's internal and external economic balance as well as the joy of obtaining valuable items for Tamers.

To maintain an ideal balance, we have applied a somewhat low egg acquisition rate and an anti-abuse Contribution system. However, we deeply understand the frustration and discomfort this may have caused Tamers. Accordingly, we are preparing a pity feature that allows you to guarantee the corresponding Raid Dragon Egg after defeating a Raid Boss a certain number of times.

However, as this is a key reward, we ask for the understanding of all Tamers that it will be applied with the following limitations.

 - Defeat count requiring substantial effort: This system is designed so that Tamers who continue playing Raid content can obtain a definite result without relying only on pure probability. Rather than being a number that can be achieved easily in a short period, it is planned to be set at a high level that requires continued effort in Raid content. 

 - Limited to once per account and cannot be codified: Each Raid Dragon Egg can only be obtained once per account and will be provided in a state that cannot be codified.

※ All development plans announced above are part of the process of providing Tamers with more stable and polished content, and the details or schedule may change depending on internal development and QA circumstances. We ask for the understanding of all Tamers.

Notice and Future Direction Regarding the Royal Class Appreciation Event

Regarding the recent Royal Class Appreciation Event, the development team is also taking seriously the disappointment felt by Tamers in certain sections.

Because this appreciation event was planned based on the existing Royal Class tiers, it seems that it did not meet the expectations of Tamers who have shown tremendous support for our game beyond the highest defined tier. For Tamers who have given us support beyond the standard, we will also consider ways to express our separate appreciation in the future.

Our gratitude toward all Tamers will not end with a one-time event, and we will do our best to continue repaying your support going forward.
