We have double checked and banned these accounts. We remain committed to taking actions against any account that lead to a negative gameplay experience for other players. A fun and fair environment is important to us as we strive to provide the best for our community.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"match-improvement\"><\/span>Match Improvement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We want to reward players that continue to play hard even when their teammates are AFK. Brave Points deducted from AFK players will be redistributed to teammates. If the match ends in victory and there was egregious AFK behavior from teammates, then the stars earned by AFK players will also be converted to Brave Points and redistributed to teammates. Meanwhile, we improve the report system of negative behavior, including toxic words and vicious ban &#038; pick. Lastly, we improve the judgement system of AFK players, which makes the AFK judgement more accurate and reasonable. All these improvements will be shown in the next patch, please stay tuned.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"communication-barrier\"><\/span>Communication Barrier<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve noticed that many players can\u2019t effectively communicate with other players who use different languages. We suggest players try the in-game Signal System. You can drag &#8220;!&#8221; button to provide additional information to your teammates.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"localization-of-lore-stories\"><\/span>Localization of Lore Stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve noticed that the lore stories are very popular among different players with different languages. We\u2019ll start working on the localization of lore stories. We also welcome any support from players. Rewards are guaranteed for the lore stories localization help.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"lore-story\"><\/span>Lore Story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We all know Volkath was killed by Tel&#8217;Annas during the first darkness invasion. And now let\u2019s read how Volkath revived, starting from the story of Volkath in Mt. Ophean.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jan-3rd-dev-letter-02.jpg\" alt=\"Volkath Lore Story\" width=\"680\" height=\"420\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7492\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Volkath was once an Archon, one of the earliest intelligent races to appear on Athanor. When the Pact of Light was made and Veda established, Volkath was forced to live on Mt. Orphean and receive Edras&#8217; instructions.<\/p>\n<p>Volkath fell in love with Marja, the foremost student of Edras and the brightest star of Veda, and with Marja&#8217;s help Volkath began experimenting with the dark powers of the Abyss. He began plotting with Veera, Maloch and others loyal to him to escape Mt. Orphean.<\/p>\n<p>Before Volkath\u2019s left, he kissed Marja to give her a part of his soul. And it was this fragment of Volkath&#8217;s soul that would become the key to the dark lord&#8217;s resurrection.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d like to hear more feedback and suggestions from all of you that play Arena of Valor.
