'Vampir' has updated its improvement board following a brief hiatus for the in-game GM team to regroup. This latest batch covers long-awaited fixes that players—or 'Successors'—might actually feel, ranging from nerfs to the main quest difficulty to better detection features in Gehenna and buffs to the 'Olga's Grace' benefits. Most of these are marked as 'planned,' so we should see them in-game soon. Mind you, the gap between updates was a bit wider than usual due to some major content releases. Do note that this 6th edition reflects GM activity between 24 November and 5 December.

Q. Please add party-based hunting content to the regular fields.
A. We are planning to add party or raid-based content to offer a fresh kind of fun.

Not everything made the cut, of course. Take the request for party hunting in the regular fields—the developers have firmly shut that door. Right now, partying in the field is basically just a chore to clear main quests, and since these areas are open to everyone, trying to squeeze in meaningful, structured 'Epic Dungeon' style gameplay there is a fool's errand.

The dev team has decided against shoehorning party mechanics into the open fields. Instead, they’ve teased new content specifically designed for party or raid groups, which is a far more sensible approach to highlighting what makes 'Vampir' tick.

Regarding the new 'Bezdan' region, the devs claim the higher difficulty compared to previous areas was intentional. They are keeping an eye on player progress before making any rash changes. However, 'Main Quest 168. Jeber' has clearly been a wall for many, so they’ve finally conceded and will be lowering the boss's skill damage to make it a bit less punishing.

Q. Even with the detection feature in Gehenna, it’s hard to tell friend from foe.
A. We are reviewing ways to minimize confusion during gameplay.

On to the good stuff: the fixes actually coming our way. The Gehenna zone is a chaotic mess where multiple servers clash over key resources like Trinity. Distinguishing your allies from the enemy—and the monsters—is a nightmare, and the current detection tool is frankly not cutting it.

Vampir plans to patch in a server-based filter for the detection list soon. They’re also looking into better ways to present information on screen so you aren't left guessing in the heat of battle.

Q. Any word on improvements to 'Olga's Grace'?
A. We agree that it needs work and will share details once we’re ready.

Then we have the usual chatter about monetization and cosmetics. Players have been complaining that 'Olga's Grace' is a bit lackluster, which has become a recurring theme on the board. As for the cosmetics, players are clamouring for specific styles like Hanbok, sportswear, or judo uniforms.

The team admitted they agree that 'Olga's Grace' needs a bit more shine. They are carefully weighing their options to ensure the benefits actually feel worth the investment, with an announcement coming soon.

As for the fashion side of things, the dev studio is already working on new looks. They’ve promised to deliver designs that satisfy the player base and even teased a special Christmas-themed set, complete with exclusive emotes. If the recent patch preview is anything to go by, it seems they’re hoping these festive additions will keep the community’s spirits high.
