📜 🙂 This compilation unveils Content acquiring and upgrading aspects along with nuances of how the Tiers work.

And if you have more questions, please, leave them in the comments below ⬇️ 

1. Will matchmaking take into account the player’s current Tier?

No. A player’s Tier does not affect how they are matched with other players.

2. Can we acquire newly released Content from the Market right after the release?

The process for acquiring new Content will remain the same: it will typically be available from an Event Crate Rush first. 

The new Content will be assigned a Tier, reflecting its value. Acquiring it from the Event will contribute towards unlocking the following Tier. 

On the occasion that the Content is not featured in an Event, it will be made available from the Market. 

3. When acquiring Content from the Market, can we use in-game resources, or will it require an In-App Purchase?

All Mechs and Weapons in the game at the time of the Market’s release will be available for Credits or A-Coins (except the Cryo Javelin 6, which is only available through the Referrals System).

Recently released Content within the Market will require an In-App Purchase, until it is made available for in-game Resources at a later date.

4. Might veteran players have to "go back" and acquire Mechs and Weapons they chose not to acquire during the Progress Path era?

In some cases, yes. To unlock Tiers, you'll need to collect a certain number of Tier Stars through acquiring and upgrading Mechs and Weapons, and there's no way to skip Tiers. 

Veteran players may find that they have most of the Tiers already unlocked. However, should a player lack the necessary Tier Stars to unlock a particular Tier, they will need to acquire or upgrade Content available in the previous Tier before they can do so.

Note that unlocking an item in the Progress Path (i.e. earning enough XP to be able to acquire it) is not the same as acquiring it (i.e. paying the Credit or A-Coin cost for it, or obtaining it through an In-App Purchase). If you have acquired the Content already, it will remain with you.

5. Will A-Coin prices for Levelling and Ranking up Content be revised?

The A-Coin cost of increasing a Mech’s Rank will be standardized, matching the current costs for Medium-Energy Mechs. 

As such, the cost for Lancer, Shadow, Tengu and M.D. will decrease, and the cost for Paragon, Puma, Guardian, Arachnos, Panther, Redox, Gatecrasher and Onyx will increase. 

The Credit cost of Leveling up Mechs and Weapons will remain the same, as will the A-Coin cost of increasing Weapons’ Ranks. 

6. It seems like we'll need more Resources to progress within the new System. Will there be more Events where we can earn them?

We'll continue to calibrate the number of Events, their formats (as you might've seen in the game lately) and prize pools to ensure that your progress through the game remains rewarding and fun.

7. If I am currently upgrading the Content in Tier III, but I receive a Tier VI Mech from the Event Crate Rush, can I still play with this Mech and upgrade it?

Any Mech or Weapon you've acquired in any way (whether it was from the Progress Path, an Event Crate Rush, any other Event, or from a Shop Offer) can be upgraded and used in Battles, even if it's in a locked Tier.

As mentioned above, this only counts if you have acquired the item in question (i.e. paid the A-Coin or Credit cost, or made an In-App Purchase). 

8. From now on, will you only be adding Legendary Mechs and Weapons, or lower-Grade Content as well?

We plan to add Content of a variety of Grades in the future.

9. Will the new Mechs and Weapons have the same HP or Damage as others in their Tier?

Mechs and Weapons within the same Tier won’t necessarily have identical stats. They will, however, stand alongside other Content in their Tier, and will be suited to that Tier’s intended stage of game progression of that Tier. 

10. Does the New Progress System have separate Tiers for Mechs and Weapons?

Every Tier contains both Mechs and Weapons. They're just displayed in different Tabs.
If, for example, you wanted to gain access to a Mech in Tier III, you could very well upgrade Weapons in Tier II to do so.
