PATCH 5P :30/06/2021 VERMILLION WIND

Image
  您好, 巨龍! Salutations, Dragons! In case there was any lingering doubt, the massive heat wave that’s descended upon Papaya Play’s live operations office has confirmed that Summer has, in fact, arrived. This week marks the end of many of our launch events and promotions, but we’ve no plans to end our series of exclusive in-game events, offers, and other reasons to join us in the Land. We have multiple giveaways running, whether your just want to stick your nose in and see what’s new, or venture across the landscape and into the deepest dungeons. You might not be able to escape the heat, but the refreshing breeze of the Vermillion Phoenix’s wings will find you. Your GM team has an apology to make regarding the nature of the Hermit’s Blessing item drop bonuses – one of us has been working under the assumption that 100% was the base item drop rate. It turns out that he was wrong, and that 0% is the "normal" rate. In order to keep things consistent with how the game presents rate b...

1 Month Stumbling Dragon Epithet

Image
Stumbling Dragon It’s been quite a month, hasn’t it? We at Papaya Play are still new to the Land, but despite a few bugs and server hiccoughs, we’ve learned a great deal about how to better serve our players. We’re grateful for all of you, and as a show of thanks, we’re inviting you join us with the exclusive Stumbling Dragon epithet. This epithet can be claimed once per account, when you log in to Nine Dragons during our one-month anniversary on June 25th (only valid for server time – CEST). Once used by one of your characters, this temporary epithet will last for three days.

PATCH 4P :23/06/2021 BRANCH OUT

您好, 巨龍! Salutations, Dragons! This week’s update adds a curious new item to the Marketplace, which offers a chance at great fortune, and great peril. And now that we’ve stumbled through our first month in the Land, we’re inviting all of you to commemorate the occasion with us. The normal weekday-weekend setup for Hermit's Blessing is being shaken up a bit - there will be a big bonus to Item Drop Rate for the next 2 days, ending June 23rd at midnight. Server Enhancements We're amazed by how successful our new Nine Dragons service has been! In fact, it's exceeded our projections, and we've been receiving reports from players who were unable to access the Land server due to high volumes. We want everyone to get a chance to join us in the Land, so our server's maximum player capacity has been increased. While we were at it, we've increased our server memory, which should increase performance for all players. Thank you, Dragons! He pulls as hard as he can to keep the...

PATCH 3P :16/06/2021 UPDATE MOST WANTED

Image
  您好, 巨龍! Salutations, Dragons! We’re moving past our launch period and getting into the full swing of things. This will include regular events, and this week unleashes a triple strike of three PvP-focused contests. Search Scopes can now be purchased in bulk, too, among other new Marketplace deals. Some stability improvements and bug fixes have been applied.  Now that it's been a few weeks since launch, we’d planned to return to baseline experience and drop rates and raise them less frequently. But after addressing some persistent server issues and a few nasty bugs, we felt that the patience you've all given us deserves another full week of Hermit’s Blessing. Most of you have probably been training hard since launch, and built up a repertoire of techniques. If you’ve managed to get any technique to Cheng 9, that level of dedication deserves a reward, in the form of some Greater Spirit Siphon Panacea, which you can claim once per account. If you’ve gone even further and raised ...
