Hello, Warriors.
It's Paragon: The Overprime.

First, we would like to express our wholehearted gratitude for your love and support over the past year and three months, starting with Early Access on Dec 8th, 2022.

However, we come to you today with unfortunate news.

Since Early Access, Paragon: The Overprime has been a work in progress,
as we've continued to explore, iterate, and think about different ways to meet our Warriors' expectations.

After careful consideration, we concluded that we will not be able to provide a stable and satisfying service moving forward.
Because of this, we have made the decision to end the service on Monday, April 22nd, 2024.

We are deeply sorry for the unexpected and unfortunate termination of the service.
We deeply cherish the encouragement and support you have given us until now despite our shortcomings.

We at Paragon: The Overprime sincerely thank you for all the love you've shown us.
Please see below for a detailed timeline of the service shutdown.



1. Service ends: Monday 4/22/2024 00:00 (EST, UTC-5)

3. Official communities (Discord/Brand site) and social media end: Monday 4/29/2024 00:00 (EST, UTC-5)

The official communities and social media channels will not be available once the service ends.

Once again, we would like to thank all of our Warriors for playing Paragon: The Overprime.

Greetings Warriors!
This is Paragon: The Overprime.

We always prioritize bringing a fair gaming environment, focusing on reducing the number of players who acts disrespectfully in the game.

We've received numerous reports from our Warriors lately and identified that many of them are experiencing inconveniences due to other players' inappropriate in-game behavior and conduct.

For this reason, we have decided to proceed with imposing restrictions on players causing inconvenience to our Warriors by inappropriate conduct and illegitimate gameplay.


Restrictions for disrespectful/inappropriate behavior are being carried out through the automatic restriction system.
Please report any users who are exhibiting inappropriate behavior.

Also, if you were unable to report players' inappropriate in-game behavior and conduct, please report them through Discord.
We will take action after confirming the relevant details.

Paragon: The Overprime will do its best to provide you with a comfortable gaming environment.

Thank you.

Greetings, Warriors!

Terra arrived on the planet Prime on January 25th, 2024!

We've put together a Q&A to answer some of your questions!
Please see below for details!


⏩ Impregnable Fortress (R-Skill) is a versatile skill. It can turn the tide of battle in your favor when used in the following situations:

- Use it to trap a single enemy with several allies, creating a favorable many-versus-one fight scenario.
- Use it to trap Terra and a single enemy Ranger, resulting in a one-on-one fight.
- Use it to trap multiple enemies, and then Terra will leave the Impregnable Fortress to join allies in attacking enemies outside of it.



⏩ A few years ago, Terra lost her father in an accident and was in mourning until recently. She discovered that her father's death was part of a criminal plan, and Terra identified Countess as the perpetrator. Although all evidence pointed to Countess, proving an incident from years ago turned out to be incredibly difficult, and Countess remained silent about any involvement in Terra's father's death.
As a result, Terra harbors a deep hatred and a burning vengeance towards Countess.



⏩ If the counter fails, the enemy may take the opportunity to use their skills. Therefore, it's a good idea to retreat quickly or use Earth Slam (E-Skill) to escape when it is not possible to avoid enemy skills by moving away.



⏩ Terra's ability to block enemy skills with Counter Guard (RMB-Skill) gives her an advantage against heroes with predictable skills. On the other hand, she is at a disadvantage against heroes with unpredictable skills. Additionally, her Ruthless Assault (Q-Skill), which requires hitting the same target three times for maximum effect, is more effective against heroes with few or no Crowd Control skills.



⏩ We recommend Marauder's Watch, Greatsword of the Hurricane, Ximmia's Toy, Pendant of Confinement, Zinc's Claw Barrier, and Artificial Gravity Inductor.


Today, we took a look at Q&As regarding the new hero Terra.

Please let us know if you have any other questions, and we'll return next time with another Q&A.

Thank you.

Greetings, Warriors.
It's Paragon: The Overprime.

First of all, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of our Warriors who have actively played Paragon: The Overprime from the PC Early Access start in December 2022 to the PS5 CBT over the past year. Your support has been incredible.

We apologize for not providing regular feedback recently.
We are prepared to address the issues raised on our official Discord and in our Support Center in detail in this January Dev's Note.

Please see below for details.

===============================================================================


Q. Please activate the chat feature in the game result screen.
The chat window in the game results screen is intended to be a space for feedback. However, some players have expressed discomfort with derogatory remarks and profanity from other players.
We are considering maintaining the chat window for healthy gameplay and will continually review and update any changes.

Q. Please add a leaderboard feature to Competitive.
We are in the process of developing a Competitive leaderboard feature and are considering when to integrate it into the game. We appreciate the great suggestions from our Warriors, and we will let you know when the schedule is confirmed via an update note.

Q. Please add the True Damage reduction according to the number of team members owning Destruction Karma to its description.
True Damage from using Destruction Karma is reduced proportionally to 1/n based on the number of players with this Karma in the team.
We plan to add this to the in-game description and will inform you via an update note once the schedule is confirmed.

Q. Please add a filter feature in the lane and hero selection screen to differentiate heroes by lane.
Adding a lane-specific hero filter feature could cause unexpected problems. Therefore, it is difficult to implement this feature. However, we are considering adding a feature that displays recommended heroes for the selected lane after selecting a lane. This would help new Warriors choose a hero. We will provide more details in the Dev's Note when the plan becomes more concrete.

Q. Please display the numerical value changes per skill level for each hero under [Lobby] - [Heroes].
Displaying numerical values per skill level in the [Lobby] - [Heroes] menu can increase the complexity of the UI.
Detailed numbers per skill levels or damage values when equipping an item can be viewed in the Training Grounds. Please make good use of the Training Grounds system as we plan to continually improve it.

Q. Please add an On-Release Casting feature and allow it to be set individually for each hero.
We are currently developing the On-Release Casting feature, which will allow you to target with a click, and cast by releasing the click, and are evaluating when to implement it in-game. Once the implementation date is confirmed, we will let you know via the update notes. We will also consider your request to allow setting the On-Release Casting feature for individual heroes. Please note that the name of this feature may change once it is actually implemented in-game.

Q. Please add enemy bots to the Training Grounds.
Training Grounds was updated on 1/25 with new features and improvements. Please stay tuned for future updates as we plan to continually add and improve various elements, including the creation of hero bots (enemy bots).

Q. Please apply a movement speed reduction penalty when heroes move backward.
The 1/25 Update fixed an issue where the movement speed reduction penalty was not properly applied. Please see the 1/25 Update Note notice for more details. We will continue to monitor how this penalty affects combat interactions and make improvements as needed.



Q. Please add more distinctive heroes.
We recognize our Warriors' request for more distinctive heroes and are preparing to introduce a number of distinctive heroes in the future.



Q. Please change the system so that players are matched only within their rank. (e.g., Bronze vs. Bronze, Gold vs. Gold)
We recognize the inconvenience associated with matchmaking internally. We will continue to improve inconveniences, such as the matchmaking logic, tutorials, and sanctions against players who cheat.

Q. Please make it so other players can't choose the same lane as me in Quick Battle.
We appreciate your valuable feedback and are currently reviewing various improvement measures to reduce the stress associated with lane and hero selection. We will provide details in the Dev's Notes once the specifics are finalized.

Q. Please allow me to choose my lane before matching in Competitive.
If the lane selection is done before the matching, it will inevitably increase the matching time. We are currently considering alternative solutions to alleviate the inconvenience of lane selection.

Q. Please revert to the previous system where I could report players with bad manners during the hero selection phase after matching.
It's difficult to clearly define the act of selecting a specific hero as a reportable offense, so it's difficult to revert to the previous system. Internally, we are looking at ways to increase penalties for players who intentionally disrupt or sabotage the game.

Q. Please improve penalties to differentiate between players who encounter game crashes in Competitive and those who intentionally leave the game.
We think this is an excellent suggestion and are grateful to the Warriors who brought it forward.
We will consider suggestions for improving the penalty system internally.

Q. Please improve the penalty system so that players who leave early during the hero and lane selection phase will have their rank points reduced.
This matter has been reviewed internally and we are considering the appropriate timing for implementation.
We will inform you via the update notes when the schedule is confirmed.



Q. When will the previously promised major updates (new maps, game modes, addition of a second Tower, etc.) take place?
We are aware of the desire for new maps and modes. Please understand that this takes time due to the extensive considerations involved. We are preparing new modes, including the Red Moon mode, and will provide updates via the Dev's Notes when they are ready for details.

In addition, we plan to announce several things we're working on soon, including unique hero passives.

===============================================================================

We ask for your understanding regarding the many matters that are still undecided or under review, which have hindered us from providing feedback to you promptly.

For this developer's note, we wanted to share at least a portion of our plans and answers to the questions you may have had and the content we are planning as quickly as possible. We aim to return with detailed information on game content and services as soon as possible.

Furthermore, we are aware of the communication shortcomings with our Warriors and are actively working to improve this aspect. The recent addition of STAFF members to the official Discord is part of our efforts to enhance communication.

However, we apologize for not being able to provide concrete plans at this time, but we will strive to continually provide guidance on the many things we are preparing for in Paragon: The Overprime as soon as possible.

Thank you.
