Look, 'Vampir' gathered plenty of feedback through in-game GM activities from September 28 to October 8. The 31st improvement status board handed over to the development team was packed with requests for large-scale region-based combat, the Hall of Grace boss, and Narichanye expansion. By the way, the option to minimise the effect of appearances and mounts as well as the MP consumption tweaks were already answered in the previous round and the 'Night Council' broadcast, so they were left off this status board. Let's dive into the details below, shall we?

Q. The MP consumption for common skills is way too high.
A. The development team will balance the consumption by introducing new growth elements or skills.

There are roughly two main topics excluded from this 31st round. First is the addition of an option to minimise appearance and mount effects, which was already addressed in the last improvement status board. It follows the same logic as reducing 'familiars and weapon' effects brought up previously, and the development team is well aware of it. However, applying this option might take a bit of time, the team says. If it feels annoying right now, head over to the settings, find 'Effect Quality', and dial it down. It simplifies the overall visual effects on screen and eases the strain on both your eyes and your device.

The matter of MP consumption when using common skills also took a back seat on this status board. The stance from the Vampir developers is that messing with MP consumption can drastically affect overall combat balance, so they are treading carefully. An immediate fix is tricky, but they promised to ease the MP burden whenever new growth factors or skills drop. Plus, this exact topic was already promised during the 'Night Council' live broadcast following the July improvement status board. It means the development team is keeping a close eye on it.

Q. Are there any plans for a 'Korea Region vs. Global Region' combat mode?
A. A head-to-head match is difficult due to the different conditions of each region.

One of the fields that has grown massively among recent feedback for the Vampir improvement status board is new PvP content. This time, a successor suggested a competitive setup between the Korea region and the global region.

That particular suggestion was slapped with a 'rejected' comment. While it is certainly a fresh competitive angle unseen in standard Vampir, the discrepancy in service structure across regions gets in the way. Since the server opening dates and update schedules differ between the two regions, running the exact same competition would be terribly unfair. The developers explained that aligning all these gaps is the top priority before letting different regions clash in a shared space. They made it clear that a regional showdown is currently off the table, so keep that in mind.

Q. I want to move from the Global 2 region to another region.
A. Structural limitations make inter-region server transfers impossible.

Feedback regarding inter-region server transfers also met a rejected response. The core of it revolves around packing up and moving from the 'Global 2' region to the Korea region. It shares a similar vibe with the inter-region integration request, and similarly, the team's stance is that it simply cannot be done.

The reason is identical to the regional clash dilemma we looked at earlier. Vampir operates each region with an independent service structure. The game data applied and the schedules for opening content vary wildly from one place to another. On top of that, the Global 2 region is the latest latecomer. Transferring a character between regions with completely different content progress would cause massive headaches where accumulated growth records and items completely clash with the destination region's setup. The developers asked for understanding regarding these structural hurdles that make features like inter-region server transfers impossible to provide.

Q. Are there plans to expand the Hall of Grace, world bosses, and Narichanye stages?
A. All three content expansions are scheduled for update.

The community manager 'GM Kaiden' bundled up the content expansion suggestions and delivered them to the development team in one go. This package included world bosses, alongside the recently released Hall of Grace and Narichanye, and all three received an 'upcoming' tag.

First up, Narichanye is set to introduce brand new floors beyond the final 50th floor. Since it was already plotted out in advance, the team is just waiting for the right moment to open it up. As soon as a date is locked down, the developers promise to share the juicy details through a patch preview or developer notes. Moving on,a fresh world boss is planned to drop right alongside a brand new territory. The team is currently juggling the timing based on overall content pacing, but expect an update in the not-too-distant future.

Lastly, the Hall of Grace boss zone, 'Sanctum of Grace', will be greeting you in the upcoming update. It was previously teased for both the Korea and global region updates via the developer notes released on October 16. Players will fight over the final blow for each health phase of the boss, 'Lord of Grace Elgard', which will drop hero-tier choker crafting materials and brand new skill books as rewards. If you are starved for fresh content, you better look forward to the next patch, mate.
