Stability Update - July 24: Enabling Events, Deadpool X-Force Arena, & Rescheduled Sasquatch Arenas

MCOC Team

Summoners,

Last night, we managed to get a few test-events running with no knock-on issues and no disruption to other game modes. While we are still cautious, we’re confident that we can start testing the waters on re-introducing events and Arenas.

As a result, here are the steps we will be taking over the next day, and into the weekend:

• Enable another re-run of the Deadpool (X-Force) Featured Hero Arenas and Nova Basic Arena. These will overlap with the Sunday Crystal Arenas.
  
• Enable Summoner Advancement for the following 6-Days
  
• Slowly re-enable other Alliance Events.
  
• Slowly re-enable Solo Events.
  

If all of this goes to plan and there are no more issues, we will run the Sasquatch Arena starting Monday, July 27th, and re-run his Arena on Thursday, July 30th, at the same time as next week’s Featured Hero (double Featured Hero Arena run).

We also know that you’ve all been patiently waiting for news on Compensation. We don’t have any information on that yet but hope to have some insights late next week.

UPDATE JULY 24 5:33 PDT: We are still experiencing some issues with matchmaking. We are looking into it right now. There may be a chance that some Alliances are not matched during this war. If that occurs, we will suspend war for another match, and reduce the requirement for the participation for War from 4 to 3.

UPDATE JULY 24 5:57 PM PDT: Due to these stability issues, a number of Alliances did not receive a Match during the last Matchmaking Period.

To ensure that we keep the Alliance War Season a level playing field, we will be canceling the 8th War of Alliance War Season 19 (the one that would be entering attack phase soon). We will also be reducing the number of wars required to be eligible for Season Rewards from 5 to 3.
