On November 21, VAMPIR held its second developer livestream. The broadcast was fronted by PD Han Ki-yeon, announcer Kwon Yi-seul, and Business Director Park Si-hyung. Park, making a guest appearance, brought along a small token of appreciation: a coupon valid until November 25. Redeeming it nets you 500 Trinity, 30 Evolution Stones, and a handful of other goodies. Beyond the freebies, the stream dropped some heavy intel regarding server shuffles—let's dive into the core of this 'Night's Conference'.

A treasure trove of updates for December!

The first order of business was the December update. The big date is December 3, marking the 100th day of the VAMPIR launch. Originally, the team planned to drop a massive update and trigger server transfers simultaneously. However, they’ve pushed the transfer date to December 15. The logic? To spice up the competition by letting the server shuffling settle first. Note that the Duncan world is off-limits for incoming or outgoing transfers since it's a recent addition, and the same applies to the streamer servers. This is clearly a play to prioritize the shuffles. Expect transfer tickets to be issued in two-month cycles, with the next window hitting in mid-February.

December 3 also heralds the arrival of the new region, Bezdan, and the Enoch server. Bezdan features hunting grounds for levels 111–112, dropping top-tier rewards, collectibles, and the new accessory, 'Emblems'. Expect the usual parade of main and sub-quests, world bosses, and dungeon updates. As for Enoch, it’s coming in hot with Hero-grade gear, mounts, and weapons, plus a 150% XP boost.

On December 17, Gehenna will expand with a third zone. With hunting grounds reaching up to level 122, you’ll have plenty of room to flex your strategic muscles. You can loot new skill books, exclusive collection materials, and Emblems here. Meanwhile, the original Zone 1 is getting a facelift; the entrance point is moving from the center to three peripheral spots. Apparently, the current starting point made player movement far too predictable. They're also tweaking the level of the hunting grounds, so stay tuned.

The class rebalancing mission rests on three pillars: defining roles, broadening utility, and injecting new fun. Take the Viper, for instance—they’re boosting overall hunting DPS and switching projectile attacks to instant-cast. In PvP, expect their debuffs to hit harder. As for the Grim Reaper, the activation condition for the 'Contempt for the Weak' passive is being relaxed, a direct response to player feedback that it was a tad too finicky. To sweeten the deal, overall skill damage is getting a bump to keep field grinding efficient.

Carnage players have been vocal about the 'Retreat Shot' skill messing up their movement during grinds. The fix? An option to cast it while stationary. For PvP, the duration of its range-increase effect is also being extended. Bloodstain currently sits at the top of the charts in both PvE and PvP, so the team is focusing on buffing their underutilized skills rather than just cranking up the raw firepower.

They also teased the VAMPIR 100-Day Festa. They’re preparing items that players will actually feel in their inventories—100% distribution of the special 'Bloodthirsty Demon' mount, plus 10 million gold, 100 summons each for appearances and mounts, and re-synthesis tickets to boot.

Keep a close eye on the new Enoch server arriving December 3. It’s a boot camp-style server that runs for exactly eight weeks, after which you can migrate to an existing server for free. Business Director Park calls it the 'Blood Race' server. It comes loaded with a 150% XP boost, a full set of Hero weapons, appearances, mounts, and 100 million gold. High rewards, lower hurdles—that’s the pitch.

A sneak peek at upcoming improvements

Following the update news, the team shifted to quality-of-life improvements. First up: reducing the fatigue of the seasonal ranking system and widening the reward pool. Previously, players had to game the system just to snag the skills they wanted. The change will allow players to select skills from lower tiers than their current rank. They also teased buffs for the Duke skill 'Doppelganger' and the Count skill 'Ice Prison', along with an expansion of rank-based benefits.

Party and raid structures were previously cut off in Gehenna, but the VAMPIR dev team is looking to mend this starting in December. The update will allow parties and raids to persist across all areas of Gehenna, with the long-term goal of extending this convenience to every field and dungeon in the game.

The current market interface is a bit of a blind spot for items without active listings, but a new feature is coming to solve that. They’re also overhauling the UI and scroll functions to make sales tracking a breeze, while adding a 'favorites' tab for details. Plus, they’re adding safety measures to the Clan Vault to prevent those accidental 'fat-finger' purchases.

PD Han acknowledged the clamour for personal trading. Based on the context, players have been itching to trade a wider variety of goods. Consequently, the team is expanding the list of tradable items to include skill books and 'Night's Testament' boxes. They’re also adding a timer to display when the reset for personal trade limits occurs.

Rounding things out are general QoL tweaks: improving clan missions and speeding up multi-enhancement processes. Expect your gear upgrades and collection management to be significantly less of a chore. Oh, and the frustration of opening multiple boxes one by one? That’s being addressed in the December update, too.

Server Group Shuffling

Finally, the VAMPIR contest draw. As usual, they split into general and streamer servers, using an 'ALL random' method. Two caveats: Duncan is exempt from shuffling because it's a new server, and servers currently matched together are, in principle, excluded from being paired again. If it comes down to the last remaining server, they’ll just have to deal with the repeat match.

The draw was held by pulling balls from a box. A notable outcome: Kaf 1 and Kaf 3 ended up in Group K, which follows the aforementioned rules. Since there are fewer streamer servers, repeats were inevitable. Ultimately, every group except Group A ended up with two servers from the same world.
