I would like to be able to set editing privileges for Team Spaces for someone other than Team Leaders and Managers.

We are planning to add a setting in a future update to allow members and provisionals to also edit Team Spaces.

When placing Build Parts, can you make it easier to understand their position?

We plan to implement an optional feature, that displays transparent placement guides on the top, bottom, left, and right to make it easier to see where you're placing Build Parts.

It's difficult for me to enjoy the game when the Team Mag Boost Effects are leveled down every day.

We plan to change the frequency with which Team Mags drop in level from Daily to once a week. We also received feedback that the volume of Team Mag sound effects are too loud, so we are planning to adjust this as well.

I feel there's a high hurdle for Equipment Enhancement because weapons rarely drop and there are not enough Enhancement Materials. Are there any plans to make this easier?

For weapons that are difficult to obtain, such as weapons of high rarity, and for the materials items required to enhance equipment, we will gradually increase drop rates, and add exchanges and other methods for obtaining such items as we release new content. We are also considering increasing the availability of enhanced weapons and armor outside of Seasonal Event Exchange Shops.

The Sezun-type Special Abilities on Seasonal Event Weapons are difficult to replace with other Special Abilities after the Seasonal Event Ends. Could you do something about this?

In the future, we plan to add new Sezun-based Special Abilities that increase power against non-seasonal enemies as well.

Do you plan to release any new fields in the future?

We are currently developing a new field. The specifications for this region will be different from the regions released in the past. It will be some time before it is released.
