On 5 June, B&S Revolution hosted a developer live stream to celebrate their recent major 'NEXT' update. The event featured MC 'Kim Soo-hyun', joined by Netmarble F&C Director 'Ryu Jae-sung' and Planning Team Lead 'Lee Hwan-jong'. They kicked off the broadcast by pulling back the curtain on the 'Illusionist' class, discussing the design philosophy and some behind-the-scenes development secrets. They also opened the floor for a 'Letter from the Players' segment, addressing feedback collected via the official website, followed by a live Q&A session.

The team opened the broadcast with an apology, acknowledging the various technical hitches that followed the major update. They assured players that they are well aware of the issues, including the blurred screen effects and performance drops on certain devices, with fixes scheduled for the 11 June update. This marked the very first communication-focused broadcast since the game's launch, and the team seemed keen to emphasize their commitment to improvement.

The 'Illusionist': A Twist of Cuteness and Power

The first segment dove into the new Illusionist class. The developers explained that the key concept here was 'reversal'. They wanted to maintain an adorable aesthetic while packing enough of a punch to leave opponents completely baffled. The resulting mechanic revolves around the 'Faint' status effect—a status that was previously underutilized. By allowing players to maintain this status and chaining it into powerful damage-over-time effects, the class becomes a force to be reckoned with.

Take the 'Kitten Bubble - Red Hammer - Blue Hammer' combo as a prime example, or the 'Radiant - Night Sky - Bubbles' chain in the ultimate skills; these are all delay-based combos relying on 'Faint'. If you time your 'Cat Dream' correctly, you can land a devastating blow before your opponent even has a chance to raise their guard.

The class also excels in defensive utility. Skills like 'Presence' or 'Surprise Appearance' aren't just for simple dodging; they allow you to pop up from unexpected angles and launch counter-attacks, making it incredibly risky for enemies to waste their invincibility skills. Even if the controls feel a bit steep initially, the ability to churn out high-tier performance just by executing combos in order is a neat feature. It seems the player base is already quite satisfied, as the class is currently sitting at the top of the performance charts.

The 'Letter from the Players' confirms: Class Balance is the top priority

Next, the team summarized over 500 pieces of feedback into 12 categories, selecting the top 10 most pressing issues to address directly.

Unsurprisingly, class balance took the top spot. The developers stressed that this is a constant topic of discussion with every update. Their current roadmap focuses on buffing the damage output of older classes launched in the early days of B&S Revolution, ensuring all 25 classes maintain their unique identity.

They specifically mentioned plans to make crowd-control skills like 'Suppression' or 'Absorption' more viable for older classes. The approach will be 'buff-heavy' rather than 'nerf-heavy', and they promised to keep listening to player feedback throughout the process. They are also considering measures such as increasing damage reduction against ranged attacks.

Regarding the lack of distinction between offensive and PvP-oriented gear sets, the team acknowledged that there are efficiency issues with certain stats. They are aware that 'Penetration' and 'Critical Damage' are currently problematic, limiting build diversity. Because player opinions vary wildly on this, they are taking a cautious approach and encouraged players to leave specific suggestions on the official community 'Suggestion Board'.

To address concerns about the lack of progression satisfaction, they encouraged players to tackle the upcoming 'Mythic Dungeon'. Alongside its release, they plan to overhaul the reward structure to provide better incentives.

They also teased a new system to alleviate stress from failed enhancements. Regarding the crashes on specific devices, they noted that the Unreal Engine 5 upgrade has already seen internal performance improvements, and they expect players to feel the difference once the remaining graphical bugs are ironed out.

They also provided detailed answers on topics ranging from equipment effects, faction imbalances, channel capacity, character customization, and the issue of field bosses appearing immediately after server maintenance.

A First Step in Communication: The Live Q&A

The Q&A took up the lion's share of the broadcast. Questions poured in, ranging from deep dives into class balance to lighter queries about underwear dyeing. The team went through the chat diligently, proving they are actually listening to the inconveniences players face.

They promised to compile the questions they couldn't get to during the stream and post answers on the official community. Here is a summary of the Q&A:
