Season S42 test server adds a Rose Zone, and in-game magic sound function enabled? (Part 3)

The Fragment Shop has stopped updating weekly, making shopping more convenient in the new season. However, it's unclear whether the rule of adding a new member at the end of the year will be retained. In the past, there have been Crystal Dragon Hunter, Mind Warrior, and many players have already reserved 88 fragments for this year's old epics. Now, in the S42 season test server, the battle pass system, fragment shop, and matchmaking mechanism have all undergone major reforms. Even if they are released, it will be the last time. The S41 season is about to end, and the store is still deserted with no new skins. Is it saving its ultimate move, or will it make a big comeback after the S42 season releases?

The Rose Heart section is currently unavailable; it's unclear whether it's a permanent or limited-time feature.

The 10th anniversary version gave away 50 Rose Hearts. Whether you're a veteran player or a newbie, you could directly redeem new epics with that login reward, such as Ying Zheng's Elegant Lover, Sun Shangxiang's Rose Lover, Yi Xing's Way of All Things, and Ji Xiaoman's Delusional Taste. These epics return once every four seasons and four version milestones. After seeing the update on the test server, netizens are still unclear about the developers' considerations in suddenly adding a Rose Heart section to the shop. This means it will be permanently available in the shop, unlike before when you had to search for it on the limited-time event page. Perhaps this is for user-friendliness and to avoid cluttering the shop.

If you activate the voice changer in-game, your rank will drop by one level.

In addition, the in-game voice changer feature has been enabled. Does this seem strange? What exactly is this voice changer? Is it the cry of a monster overlord? Simply put, it's a voice changer function. To protect privacy, recognizability, and the gray area of AI data theft, it alters the player's voice to prevent personal attacks. The feature is currently limited to team play, but it's said that after the update, it will be fully available for character selection, in-game activities, and more.

The ranked inheritance system, which players value most, is crucial. Players painstakingly climb the ranks just to minimize the drop in rank. Previously, the highest rank, King, was directly inherited as Eternal Diamond 3 after the season change. In Season 42, it dropped another tier to Eternal Diamond 4. King 125 stars inherited as Star Diamond 1. Only King 150 stars could lead to the scenario of instantly reaching King after the update. This change also indicates that the difficulty of ranked matches has been greatly reduced. After benefiting from the star-adding mechanism for several seasons, it's time to return the price.
