Loyalty Store Changes

We’re making a few changes to the Loyalty Store which are intended to go hand in hand with the Glory Store update coming with AQ Season 9.5. We’re looking to let players get more access to the AW specific potions,

We’re reducing the store reset from once every 2 weeks to once a week.
Introducing Level 4 Team and Single AW Health Potions to the Store.
Reduce the price of Level 2 and 3 AW Team Revives in the Store:
AW team revive level 2 45000 -> 25000
AW team revive level 3 90000 -> 45000

Node Changes

It’s about that time we are in for another two major path rework we’ve been wanting to do for a while. The first one that we are aiming to breathe some fresh life into is Path 1, the Healing Path. Prior to this, it hasn’t received the attention, and love it deserves. This time though, we are aiming to provide some new fresh defensive placements that focus specifically on how often a Defender can heal to create the threatening defensive placement we hoped for.

For Path 1, the new Nodes are as follows…

Reinvigorated (Fury) - 3
Every time a Regeneration Buff or Passive is activated, if the Defender is not Heal Blocked the Defender gains a dormant Vigor Charge. Once the Defender reaches 10 Vigor Charges they're consumed and the Defender gains a Passive Fury granting +100% Attack for 10 seconds.

Reinvigorated (Unblockable) - 3
Every time a Regeneration Buff or Passive is activated, if the Defender is not Heal Blocked they gain a dormant Vigor Charge. Once the Defender reaches 10 Vigor Charges they're consumed and the Defender gains a Passive Unblockable for 10 seconds.

Personal Space - Regeneration
While the Attacker is close to the Defender, the Defender gains a Regeneration Buff every 3 seconds, Regenerating 0.5% of their Max Health each second. Staying far away from the Defender causes these Regeneration effects to gradually fall off.

Masochism Over Time - 3
Every 7 seconds the next Debuff triggered on this Champion is immediately Purified. Each time this effect triggers they gain Regeneration Buff granting 15% of their Max Health over 7 seconds.

Buffet Over Time - 3
Every 7 seconds the next Buff triggered by the Attacker is immediately Nullified. Each time this effect triggers, the Defender will gain a Regeneration Buff granting 15% of their Max Health over 7 seconds.

The nodes affected are the following…

As for the second rework, we wanted to retool the Path 8 to cater better to Cosmic Defenders and Cosmic Attackers specifically. So to help create that threat, we decided to lean into the buff “Rich Get Richer” and use that as the base for the entire lane. Combined with Mystic Ward means that traditional nullify champions will not be the core answer.

For Path 8, the new Nodes players will encounter are as follows…

Rich Get Richer (Fury) - 3
Whichever Champion has more Buffs gains a stacking Passive Fury every 1 second(s), each increasing Attack rating by 15%.

Underhanded Comment - 1
For each Buff on the Defender, the Attacker has their Defensive Ability Accuracy reduced by 10%.

Nodes affected are…

Glory Store Updates

As mentioned above, there's also a Glory Store update coming your way! We normally include this information with news on Alliance Quest Updates (there is one coming soon!), we wanted to get this out to you earlier, since there are changes to the way we're distributing Alliance Potions between the Glory and Loyalty stores.

That glory store update is pretty nice

Agent_X_zzz

I like the t3a and t6bc change in AW, it is well needed. My alliance has placed 1st 3 times in a row, which gives 11,250 t3a per season. So this equal to all 3 which I think is a well needed and long overdue change.

raziel

So we won't be able to buy potions for aw with glory now? If so, is there a plan to increase the amount of loyalty we get?

I see you eyeing those Master - Rank 1 rewards

Glory store updates look good, will check then out when it refreshes. Nice improvement

Uh wtf, change the glory store potions back to alliance potions and not aq potions, unless you plan on giving us an easy access to war potions it’s utterly ridiculous

Wait and see what the loyalty store costs are, if they’re reasonable then it makes sense to separate AQ potions being bought with glory, and AW potions being bought with loyalty

Both respective modes have their own currency to buy potions for

Wiredawg1

When are you going to decrease price on potions from glory store? Since glory store came out there has NEVER been a decrease in the price and yet the health pool of champs is increasing and 2 new maps with more health on defenders

Fenico

As mentioned above me we will see how it is regarding potions for Loyalty but I think it is worth looking into amounts of Loyalty we can get.

If we ignore compensation packages which we wont be getting forever then we can get 1k Loyalty every day for Alliance Help and few extra thousands every other day in war. This was barelly enough to cover AW and Class Boosts, how are we supposed to now buy potions too?

pseudosane

I hope you are really buffing the potion heal, and making the cost respectable. 20k loyalty per potion would be absolutely rubbish unless the loyalty flow is increased, a lot.

Unfortunately I don’t see any mention of an increase in loyalty and that is what worries me

Well again, if the cost is reasonable then I don’t think it matters if we have a loyalty increase. But if it’s extortionate, then this change will be terrible and war will suck again, especially when the compensation stops for gameplay issues

Carmel1

was there a problem with posting the new tiles?
you have listed list of new 5 new nodes for path 1 and 2 new nodes for path 8, but in your list you have mentioned only tile 4 and tile 8.

HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BUY WAR HEALING POTIONS WHEN YOU REMOVE THEM FROM GLORY STORE?

LOYALTY COST PER POTIONS IS INSANE, AND WE CAN BARELY AFFORD LOYALTY FOR AQ. WHAT IS THIS???????

Squirrelguy

For the record, your post has some code that looks like it was part of the formatting that is displaying:

Also, super glad to hear about both the AW rewards increase as well as the Glory store. It has been a while.

Raganator

Unless you never plan on stopping weekly compensation, shifting those war pots to loyalty is a HUGE loss for the community. Horrible decision unless you lower the cost significantly.

H3t3r

It says t4cc crystal and specific color. I don't see any t4cc cats in the store unless I'm misinterpreting it

Eb0ny-O-M4w

Season rewards barely changed. The 6-star nexus in still only on plat 1

Deacon03

You need to increase the loyalty rewards for individual wars

Maxximan89

This says that there will be T5CC for cavalier and uncollected but I don’t see any in the the store atm. These def need to be added for Cav players asap.

Sbkrueb

I agree I don't see t5cc in there either

NerdNerdNerd1

this potion change is the single stupidest thing ive ever seen from kabam, and that is a very high bar. whoever made that change has never played the game

The glory price reductions are excellent! Bravo and kudos and all the rest!

TheKiryu

@Kabam Miike what is in those selectors?

This is ridiculous. Potion system was already bad. You made it worse. 20k loyalty per lvl4 potion? 40-45k health pool with 15 Aw matches. Atleast 80-110 fights every season. Absurdly expensive. Put the Goddamn Aw potion in glory store. Let us choose if we want Aw/Aq potions.
