Soul-Arena

Well, it's been a long troubling week. With that said the coding issue has been fixed, we won't go into details as to not bore you. The characters have been released again, now allow us to highlight what we will be working on now that the issue has been fixed.

-New characters, 6 of them. If you thought 5 new characters were good, you ain't seen nothing yet. 5 + 1 = 6.

-Revamp, after the characters are released we will be doing a revamp of a lot of things as to better make the game better, yep. This will be done through the forum, in open topic as to allow feedback.

-Eventual engine upgrade that will allow for awesome new effects. No due date on this one, could be a while.

-Special events during special days to fill an empty month.

Yes, we are very much aware of the fact a few people were 'mistaken' allowed to continue on with these removed characters; please stop Private Messaging us over that.  I thank you for the concern and doing as you should, but our inboxes are greatly suffering from this.  Anyways, instead of continually going over all of those messages, copy and pasting what I have been, repeatedly, I've decided to make an update here.

The people who still have these characters were those who had them in their team pool as the update was done.  Due to this, the character did not completely disappear and will remain around for them to use until it's removal.  Now, I do realize how simple it is to 'remove' a character, but, I'm assuming half of these people, if not a large majority cannot.  So, I'm going to tell them how:

   1. You will need to log-out of the current account you're using; the one with these glitching characters. Then log back in.
   2. You will then need to place another character, it does not matter which, over top of the faded character in your team queue.
   3. Go into a Quick Ladder Match, though it shouldn't matter which you choose, this is just better for your stat situations.
   4. Finish the match, be it through surrender or full completion and you'll either see A) A completely blank slot with no character in it or B) The character you currently used over the faded queue still there.
   5. If it is 'A', just pick another character of your choice and go from there; all will be set.  If it is 'B', all is already corrected for you.

Anyways, that should do it.  Furthermore, for all of you asking about 'Missions' and how some of them are related to characters that have been removed ... Well, you're just going to have to wait this crisis out with us.  I am sorry for this but that's just how it's going to be.

Finally, for those of you that actually do have these characters still.  I encourage you to remove them for the fairness and integrity of the game.  However, if you do not we might be force to take more extreme means of making sure these characters get used no more, one in which I don't want to go.

First off, to correct a common misconceptions, this is not a server issue.  This is in fact a game code issue.  We have properly indentified the issue but we are, however, unable to find out exactly how to fix it.  Though, it is still being worked on and hopefully will be made right shortly.  Unfortunately, with that said, I have been forced to remove the characters that are causing these game crashes. 

They are the following:

• Ishida Uryuu
• Tsubakishi Tessai
• Soi Fon
• Aizen Sousuke
• Bankai Ichigo

They will return, to you, once this issue is fixed.  I can assure you.

Finally, with this done, the game should now be playable once again; enjoy!  However, if it is not, please feel free to Private Message me, Kostas and/or ZelosWilder on this. When you do, please, notify us which characters were being used in the game.

Thank you!

Just a small change this time, we could have waited a bit, we could have done more but for right now just a small change while we work on bigger and better things that you guys will enjoy.

• Nerfs: Kisuke Urahara.
• Details can be found here.

So, after poking fun at Kostas for several hours, with Zelos, about his future character designs we sat down and went over much needed, and important, balance changes for the new characters and our mistakes on a few.

• Boosts: Ayasegawa Yumichika
• Nerfs: Matsumoto Rangiku, Soi Fon, Bankai Ikkaku and Shawlong Qufang.
• Reworks: Aizen Sousuke, Kisuke Urahara.
• Details can be found here.

Thus ends the tenure of one of the most overpowered creations ... hopefully.

 Also, on a side note, with the addition of the newer characters some of the missions were reworked slightly.  These are the changes done:

The Mod Soul

Ichigo will be replaced by Ururu in this mission. (After all it was Ururu who gave Rukia Kon's pill.)

13 Captains of Soul Society

Matsumoto was added to the list.

The Youngest Captain

Reworked to:

Win 20 battles with Matsumoto
Win 6 battles in a row with Matsumoto
Win 4 battles with Matsumoto against Hinamori Momo
Win 4 battles with Matsumoto against Izuru Kira
