Two weeks have passed again, and here we are with the latest news about what is coming next week, and some clarifications on stuff that is already in the game, so let's jump right into it.

Gear Removal -50% Server boost

Early next week, we will be testing out a new format for a good old feature - 50% off on the gear removal cost. For two days only, all artifact removal will cost 50% less. Don't miss this opportunity to prepare your teams for the next Doom Tower run. As always, we expect your feedback after the release, and suggestions on improvements. 

Forge Pass

Recently, one of the more persistent questions was: How do XP bonuses from Forge Pass, x2 XP Booster, and Raid Card stack?

The Forge Pass and Raid Card are additive bonuses, however, there is a major difference in the bonus they provide and how they interact with XP boost.

• Raid Card has a 20% bonus XP that gets doubled when XP boost is active
• Forge Pass, same as the Battle pass, has a bonus of up to 50% Exp gain increase but is not affected by the Exp boost

That means that while all three of them are active, with Forge Pass Raid Boost at level 5, the Exp gain modifier will be 290%

Important note for the F2P Forge Pass users: you'll be able to unlock all 50 Levels of the Forge Pass with a grand total of 500 Points required to complete it even with the Core Pass (the free one). From the second Level and up to Level 50, you'll need 10 Forge Points to unlock each new level, NOT 20 as it was with Level 1.

Arena-related missions

First of all, we need to apologize for misinforming you about one important detail regarding the updated missions - they are not retroactive. When a player gets to them, the system  will check the current player’s Arena Rank, and the Mission will be completed if the player has the required rank or above, or after they have reached the Mission requirements.

That means that, even if back in the day you were at the top of the Platinum Tier, when you get to the Mission, you will need to prove that you can secure your position in the required Arena Tier.

One more thing - some of the recently added to the game missions have turned out to be easier than some of those that precede them. We are aware of that and are working on adjustments to better represent the difficulty curve. Thank you for noticing and bringing the discrepancies to our attention.

CvC Tournaments

The next CvC tournament is right around the corner, and this one will be without personal rewards.

That is it for today, but a lot of exciting stuff is coming later on. We don't want to spoil anything too early, so stay tuned.

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful weekend!
