    match,lower Grade User will have less penalty or less points deduction.
    
    ♦ Tip
    
    * In order to increase the grade points, it is way better to play with users who has a Higher Grade and have a good record.
    
    * You can still play against Lower Grade User.

20. Known Issue
    
    ► Issue
    
    * If you reach the next Grade after a specific match and return to waiting room. You will notice that the Grade Icon is not changing real time.
    * This issue will be fix next Maintenance.
    
    ► Temporary Solutions
    
    * The temporary solution is to exit the room and join again to see your updated Grade.
    
    * An issue with UI wherein if you reach Special Master Grade and lose point afterwards and Grade goes back to Veteran, icon will not change and you will still have the Special Master Grade Icon
    
    * This only affects Special Master Grade users and users under Master Grade will not be affected. This is just a UI
    issue and your updated points/record will not be affected at all.
    
    * (Special Master Grade Icon: First player to reach Master Grade in a specific Game Mode will have a special mark with golden text).

Join via Quick Menu

► You can select the Game Mode first if you want to Join via Quick Menu in the lobby/HOME.




► Once you set the Game Mode, you can now press the “PLAY” button.
► You will now be redirected to the room (System will send you to room depends on the Game Mode you set) (“Playing” room is prioritized)
► If there are no rooms created for that Game Mode
► Once you hit the “PLAY” button, a room will be automatically created under you.
.

If player use the Quick-Join function to join a specific mode and they end up creating a room for this mode because there is no running room to join via this function, the system creates automatically a room in Zone 3.
This issue has been reported and will be fowarded to the devs.

MYST boxes and weapons for GC only, I can see this game is slowly dying again. Keep it up.

[Wumgum]

► Lightning items can be purchase with GC only

Remember "true free to play"?

Combat Grading System
► Grade (Lowest to Highest)

♦ Rookie (Lowest)
♦ Median
♦ Advanced
♦ Expert
♦ Professional
♦ Veteran
♦ Master (Highest)
.

...

♦ All users will have a default Grade of “Median” Grade.

The default should have been "Expert". Also, the names should have been more like this:

► Grade (Lowest to Highest)

♦ Noob (Lowest)
♦ Bad
♦ Subpar
♦ Average
♦ Advanced
♦ Professional
♦ Master (Highest)

♦ The process of changing Grade Points is based on experience points given after each match.

So is this based on your overall or on your individual KDR? Because if it's the former then there are some serious issues with your grading system.

*be sure to perform better than them to not lose any single point.

You should loose points regardless if you're a master ranked player in a room full of rookies and only perform slightly better than the rest.
