It has been over 3 months since Valiant Force launched in Southeast Asia, and the team would like to thank the community for their immense support and feedback. As we head deeper into 2017, the development staff will like to share some of the upcoming major features being worked on to expand Valiant Force in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2017.
Please note that the following features are not numbered according to release schedule, and information provided is subject to change during development. We will talk more about each of the individual features in upcoming developer posts.
New Summoner Heroes
"Summoner" is neither a new class nor job, but rather a new series of hero. Hence, there will be Summoner-type Ninja, Summoner-type Chaos Knight, and so on. Summoner heroes are able to summon powerful beasts during combat for assistance! We are still fine-tuning the mechanics, so stay tuned for more details about these mysterious Summoner heroes!
Interesting note: 2 of the top 3 winners from our 2015 and 2016 hero design contests will be having their works immortalized as Summoner heroes!
Valiant Heroes Revamp
As new heroes, new skills and mechanics enter Valiant Force, it is natural that the Valiant heroes would require some gameplay changes. More information will be provided once the team has gone through the proposals and balancing!
PVE Guild Raid
We are currently working on guild raids! Guild members will be able to work together and bring down massively challenging bosses in these raids, and these ferocious beings will not go down in just one battle!
Stronger and even more epic item sets can be looted from these raid bosses. What’s more, they will be imbued with new mechanics as well!
PVE Guild Raid is designated as the toughest content in Valiant Force upon release, hence players should at least be able to clear all stages of the regular events before attempting to launch a challenge. Stay tuned for more details which is coming out very soon!
PVE + PVP Guild Conquest
A feature we have teased since Valiant Force launched in SEA, here is an official update for the Guild Conquest mode! The team is finalizing the design and mechanics, before full production begins for this feature. Basically, it is a GVE and GVG feature where guild members are able to battle both monsters and members from other guilds using multiple squads. Guild Conquest is currently scheduled to arrive after Guild Raid. The GVE portion will be introduced first to allow players to be familiarised with the gameplay, before GvG is added.
Other major features in the pipeline
- New Elven race
- Story campaign expansion (Map 5)
Conclusion
Based on community feedback from the forum and social media channels, we are continually making quality-of-life changes to improve the overall game experience, including new functions, user interface, improvements to existing features, and more. Please continue to give us your feedback!
We hope that you are all excited with what the development team is preparing for Valiant Force, and once again, thank you for your support thus far. 2017 is going to be a bombastic year for the game!
