[New Character] Mirka Preview

There are lots of people born into a life of hardship. Mirka is one of them.
As a child, she saw nothing but violence and poverty, and it never once seemed like there would be any light at the end of the tunnel for her.

When her parents left her side, the only thing she had left was her baby brother, Matyáš, who was too young to even speak.
As she looked into those innocent eyes, she made a silent promise.
She would protect that small life at all costs.

From that moment, Mirka toughened up. She had to. To protect her brother. To survive.
From a small, scrappy girl to a wild dog, and from a wild dog to the “Boss” of her community, she fought, bled, and carved her way through every hardship.

Before long, others began to follow and rely on her. She was tough but kind, rough around the edges but full of heart.
People were drawn to her strength and her sense of loyalty.
Looking back at those who stood behind her, Mirka felt the weight of responsibility settle on her shoulders.

And she swore that anyone who dared to mess with her streets, her people, would pay the price in full.

Skin Data Box Returns, Follow-Up Measures & Progress

[p]Hello Lumia Island Survivors,[/p][p]First, we would like to sincerely apologize for the confusion and inconvenience caused by the probability issue in the Skin Data Box event.[/p][p]During our additional review, we found that another detailed explanation on the exact cause of the issue and follow-up actions was needed.[/p][p][/p][p]1. Detailed Explanation of the Issue[/p][p]The base items and base probabilities of the Skin Data Box were applied correctly.
However, the additional event skins that should have been applied for the \[Two Bonus Weeks: Skin Data Boxes] event were mistakenly applied using version 8.4 data, instead of the correct version 9.4 data.[/p][p]This means that if you opened Skin Data Boxes during the affected time, event skins still appeared with the intended probability, but the skins that appeared were incorrectly pulled from the old 8.4 skin pool, instead of the new 9.4 event skins.We deeply apologize for failing to detect and resolve this earlier.[/p][p][/p][p]2. Follow-Up Measures (For Applicants Only)[/p][p]Our previous notice stated that affected items would be retrieved in bulk for all players who opened boxes during the affected time. However, many of you expressed that you do not want this.Therefore, we will now proceed in the following way:[/p][p]Only players who obtained 8.4 skins or designs during the affected period and wish to return them may apply to do so.[/p][p]Players eligible for this can request a full revert of the skins/designs obtained during the affected period.
Once this application is submitted, all skins and designs acquired during that time will be retrieved, and you will receive new boxes containing 9.4 skins/designs of the same rarity.If you do not apply through our form, your current items will remain unchanged.[/p][p][/p][p]Please note:
Due to fairness concerns, we cannot retrieve only some items. If you apply, all skins and designs obtained during the affected period will be retrieved and exchanged.[/p][p]Exchange Rules:[/p]
  • [p]8.4 Rare Skin → 9.4 Rare Skin Box (Random Skin)[/p]
  • [p]8.4 Rare Design → 9.4 Rare Design Box (Random Design)[/p]
  • [p]8.4 Epic Skin → 9.4 Epic Skin Box (Random Skin)[/p]

[p]3. How to Apply (Details Coming Soon)[/p][p]If you wish to request for a retrieval of the skins and designs you received in return of the same-rarity boxes, you will be able to apply through a dedicated application page.This page is currently under development and is expected to open next week.
Once it is ready, we will provide the link along with detailed instructions and the schedule in a separate announcement.[/p][p][/p][p]4. Application Period & Item Processing[/p][p]Applications will be open for about a week once the page goes live.
After the application period ends, all submitted requests will be processed during the maintenance on Thursday, December 11th.[/p][p]During this maintenance, all skins/designs obtained during the affected period will be retrieved and replaced with 9.4 same-rarity boxes that we're currently working on.[/p][p][/p][p]We would like to sincerely apologize once again for the confusion caused and thank you for your patience.[/p]
