Patch Notes: Combat Corrections and the Road to Sacred Grassland

We are preparing one of the most important updates of the current RaiderZ Global era.

Before Sacred Grassland opens, we have applied fundamental corrections to the combat system. We are also opening Client Alpha to the entire community and introducing a new way to invite friends and earn ZEN.

These changes prepare both the server and the community for the content arriving on Friday, August 7, 2026.

Combat formula corrections

The combat formulas have been reorganized so that all skills are processed using the same rules.

Previously, skills that applied damage through buffs used a separate and incomplete formula. This could cause their damage to be calculated differently from direct attacks, even when both should have followed the same combat rules.

Direct attacks, buff-based skills, and damage over time effects now use the same calculation structure. Offensive attributes, defensive attributes, and combat modifiers are applied consistently regardless of how the damage is delivered.

These corrections are already active on the server.

Enemy attribute corrections

We have also corrected how PvE enemy attributes are processed.

Some values assigned to NPCs, monsters, and bosses could be ignored during combat. The problem was particularly noticeable with the Defense attribute.

Enemies now use their configured attributes correctly, allowing their damage reduction and resistances to follow the intended balance.

This correction is already active on the server.

Damage exploit fixed

We fixed an exploit that allowed character attributes and damage to be increased beyond their intended values.

Additional server validations now identify and correct invalid character attributes automatically. We will not disclose further details about the method used to prevent new attempts to reproduce the exploit.

The exploit has been closed, and the new protections are already active.

Client Alpha is now open to everyone

Client Alpha is now available to the entire RaiderZ Global community.

Until now, access was distributed through controlled testing waves. Every player can now open the Client Alpha page from the account panel and download the experimental client.

Client Alpha is a 64-bit application built on DirectX 11. It connects to the same live server and uses the same characters, accounts, and progression as the current client.

The current client will remain available and supported. Players can choose to try Client Alpha, compare its behavior, and report compatibility, performance, or gameplay issues.

Client Alpha remains under development, so some features may behave differently or present problems. Community reports will be essential as we continue working toward making it the future standard client for RaiderZ Global.

Invite friends and earn ZEN

The new Invite Friends system is now available through the account panel.

Each player receives a personal invitation link that can be shared with friends. When someone creates an account through that link, the new account becomes permanently connected to the player who sent the invitation.

Once the invited friend reaches level 20, the invitation becomes active.

From that point forward, the player who sent the invitation receives 5% in ZEN from the invited player’s eligible ZEN purchases.

Commissions remain pending for 14 days before becoming available in the player’s ZEN balance. ZEN earned through the referral program can be used in the game and cannot be withdrawn or converted into money.

The referral panel shows the number of invited friends, active invitations, available ZEN, pending ZEN, and the next release date. Players can also customize the name used in their invitation link.

What arrives on Friday

On Friday, August 7, 2026, RaiderZ Global will receive three major additions.

Sacred Grassland

Sacred Grassland will open with a new stage of progression, a new level, and new challenges.

The required map files have already been distributed through the game client. Sacred Grassland will remain inaccessible until its official activation on Friday.

The new region will expand the journey beyond the current content and introduce new enemies, objectives, and opportunities for character progression.

Hell Hound 7

Players can currently advance through Hell Hound 6.

On Friday, that progression will continue with the arrival of Hell Hound 7, introducing the next class of missions and challenges for players prepared to move beyond the current limit.

Hell Hound 7 will launch together with Sacred Grassland and the new Elemental Enchanting system.

Elemental Enchanting

Elemental Enchanting will become available for the first time on this server.

Players will be able to use specific gems to add elemental attributes to their weapons. Damage from each element will be calculated against the corresponding elemental defense of the target.

Fire damage will be resisted by Fire Defense, Ice damage will be resisted by Ice Defense, and the same rule will apply to the other available elements.

This system introduces new equipment and build choices. Understanding the resistances and weaknesses of each enemy will become more important when preparing weapons and selecting elemental attributes.

Elemental Enchanting will be activated on Friday together with Hell Hound 7.

Prepare for August 7

The combat corrections are already active. Client Alpha and Invite Friends expand the ways players can participate in and support the project.

On Friday, it will be time to move forward.

Sacred Grassland, Hell Hound 7, and Elemental Enchanting mark the beginning of a new stage for RaiderZ Global.

Prepare your character, organize your party, and choose carefully which elements you will bring into the challenges ahead.
