**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.

Usefulness of 4*s

I don't think 4*s have outlived their usefulness. 4*s are important for a number of reasons, mainly growth. But we all constantly hear about the game shifting to 5*s, even though it is difficult for people outside of the top alliances to get them, let alone dupe them. But for even the majority of alliances in the expert tier we are told 5*s are more important. The reason for this is because prestige sets the difficulty of your map in Alliance Quests which then impacts your total points you can earn. As long as a rank 4 level 55 unduped 5* has a higher prestige than a max ranked 99 sig 4* people are going to say 4*s are no longer useful. While I don't personally agree with that thought, they become less useful to those that are in the top alliances. I'm not saying it is a problem either. It's just the current state of things in the game and that's what drives people's thoughts and reasons for what they do in the game.
