**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event
**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

The Dark Secret of Symbiote Difficulty

in General Discussion
I had an epiphany. After seeing so many clueless people complain that Symbiote difficulty was a "cash grab" or "impossible" and then seeing the volume of reasoned and rational responses explaining just how easy it actually was (it was literally easier than Gwenpool goes to the movies), I realized that developers created this event as 2 things:

1. A reward for players that are willing to pay attention and develop strategies and read in game text and weigh their options before rushing in.

2. A punishment/tax/troll on players that don't pay attention and who are generally unthinking and solve problems by throwing money at them.

I'm on to you Kabam! (Also, thanks for the free Featured 5 star Crystal)

    Like most F2P games, this game has always taxed impatience. Patience is free, impatience is expensive. And that's the way it ought to be.

    Except the Symbiote acts as a skeleton key in this difficulty… because no one picked that up from Goldie or anything 😒

    In so many ways you are absolutely right. But still, there are players who has read and strategized that will not be able even with the rank 5 Symbioid. But for those (probably including me) I must say that they/we are just in over our heads.
    We must all realize that all content is not for all of us and don’t scream cash-grab when we can’t make it.
    But I don’t think the comparison between an event that you could auto-play and this is fair. Otherwise pls post a video of auto playing symbiote difficulty. Cause I would really like to see that.

    Only if you post a video of someone autoplaying through Epic difficulty of Gwenpool Goes to the Movies first...
