**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.

So will Samsung S23 Ultra finally get the good graphics that iOS users get, seeing as the s23 Ultra is more than capable of handling it.? As it will also have Ray Tracing. So @Kabam Miike what is the plan, will game run smoothly or will there need to be implementation to avoid things like players last year banned temporarily due to playing on s22.

    Ok thank you. Because my phone is A71 and its perfect but just thought its time to buy a new one, that better suits what I need. And wanted to make sure S23 Ultra would work better.

    Oh I'm not saying that they DO run the same as IOS. I've always been led to believe that the game runs smoother on IOS but I haven't actually tested it. I have the s22 ultra and the graphics seem good to me but I have nothing to compare it to 🤣.

    What I meant was that the newest best Samsung phone surely must be able to run the game as well as an IOS device

    I must say Samsung's latest flagship phones actually run this game better than IOS devices (I use the Samsung Z Fold 4 and have a colleague at work who plays on an IPhone 14)

    I'd also like to know if something has been put in place for the new phone releasing as I have got it on preorder. Obviously I'd love to try it out right away but don't want to risk getting banned.
    Can anyone from Kabam confirm for anyone planning on purchasing the s23 please?

    I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I will be. It's pretty safe to assume the answer is NO, the better (but still not the same level as iOS for some reason) graphics usually take a while to show up if they show up at all. Some odd devices that aren't selling in the millions around the world will have the better graphics at launch, while top tier flagships that use a more powerful iteration of the same chipset won't. I'm on the S22 Ultra and the better graphics just came in the last month or so. They'll probably be gone again sometime this year with no reasonable explanation or acknowledgement. The dream is to get the better graphics and 120+ Hz at the same time.

    Might have been true of previous generation of iOS devices, but I have both an older Android and iPhone 14 Pro and it is garbage on the 14 Pro. It is slightly better if you turn ON "Limit Frame Rate". It has more frame stuttering and lag on a 2 month old flagship than my 2 year old non-flagship.

    Over the years, I would change between my work iPhone (iPhone 8/iPhone 8 Plus/iPhone XS) and Galaxy (Galaxy S10+/ S21 Ultra/S22 Ultra to play MCOC depending on which had more battery and it was a nightmare sometimes. MCOC on iPhone is completely different compared to Galaxy, it’s smooth and so responsive. Because of this, I had to train my mind with the timing for parry and dex depending on what device I’m using at the time.

    Just got my S23 Ultra and I'm not sure what I did or didn't do with my previous Samsungs but the game runs butter smooth on this, it is shocking. I don't know how to explain it but it feels like the characters move quicker (which shouldn't be possible) and in game menus register faster. It actually feels like I’m playing on an iPhone.

    Yeah I just got one and the game has never ran like this before. I was on an s21+ before and I had so many hitches and general jankiness.

    It all just seems really smooth and quick now. Even crystals open a lot quicker.

    I don't work for Samsung honestly 😂

    Piling on here - I'm about 5 days into the s23 Ultra, after previously using an s21. The game runs super smooth, and the device doesn't heat up with extended play like my older phones did.

    Hmmm...S22 Ultra here. I found that during the peak of the input issues the only way to have a playable game was to reduce the refresh to 60 Hz. Recently issues popped up again and I had to turn the beta inputs off...and went ahead and put the refresh rate back to max. Wondering if they are toying with related game content.
