Dear Metas!

Since our launch, we've been closely monitoring your scenario experience. Based on your feedback, we're introducing the all-new Scenario Sign-up System 2.0, which will go live after the November 21 update. This update will bring features such as advance registration, faction scenario sign-up, and team sign-up. Here are the details:

Advance Registration

1. You can now register in advance for the types of scenarios you want to play.
2. Each round of advance registration has two phases: a registration period and a lock-in period. After the registration period ends, the lock-in period begins. When the lock-in period concludes, servers will launch based on the number of players signed up, which will also determine the number of servers and Worlds.
3. The 24 hours before a server opens is the lock-in period. If you cancel during this time, you'll lose your advance registration spot for that round (any advance registration made after the lock-in period starts will count toward the next round). Exact server opening times are displayed in the game panel.

4. If you don't want to wait, you can also directly sign up and join scenario servers that are already open.

Faction Scenario Sign-up

1. For faction scenarios like Prismverse's Clash, you'll need to choose a faction when signing up (or be assigned one by the system).
2. Servers will decide whether to open at the scheduled time based on overall player numbers and faction balance. If conditions are met, they'll open as planned; if not enough players have signed up, the scenario may be delayed once but will definitely open after that.

Team Sign-up

1. We've added a team sign-up option. You can now invite friends to form a team. All team members' sign-up statuses will follow the team leader.
2. When a team signs up for a scenario, all members will be placed on the same server (and in the same faction, if applicable).

Scenario Co-Dev

1. To better meet the needs of players from different regions, we'll regularly release in-game surveys to gather your feedback and opinions on various scenarios.
2. If a scenario receives low overall ratings and has few participants, we may consider temporarily taking it offline and will announce it accordingly.
3. Scenarios that are taken offline will undergo targeted optimizations and will be re-released once the experience is enhanced.
These are the main updates in the Scenario Sign-up System 2.0. For detailed rules, please check in the game.
If you encounter any bugs or have suggestions during your gameplay, feel free to share them through our Co-Dev Feedback Platform. We'll carefully review your input, discuss internally, and regularly update you on the progress and conclusions regarding key issues.
