**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.

Alliance Wars Season 33 Changelog, Rewards Update, Loyalty Store and Glory Store Updates!

    I posted in the Bug forum but zero respond. When will we get to test Miss-Tic Dispersion defense tactic? Last 3 off season wars, all we have is Unstoppable Armor in Tier 4/5 Challenger map. We should be able to select one of the 3 defense tactics.

    @Kabam Miike
    Prices of gold and T1A did not decrease. Is that a typo error or was the gold and T1A actually supposed to be reduced price like post says?

    I’m cav and before the update and since I went cav, gold crystals have always been 40 and T1A has been 160. So the price was not reduced like the post say @Kabam Miike

    we use offseason for gathering fyi

    exactly. We build our stash for potions in offseason. Great job Kabam, really screwing us with YOUR oversight.

    Also if nothing changes not giving much time for recruitment.

    How this just didn’t get wound back straight away is beyond me.

    What is the status of the potion situation? We are missing out on time for repleneshing stock for the upcoming season. While you are looking at the "situation" you may check compensation right away for this debacle.

    If a positive solution is going to take time to be reached regarding this can you at least just roll back these changes while you decide what the permanent solution is going to be?

    There are genuinely 100s of low paying players in masters and 1000s more in platinum right now who are likely not going to be able to afford to push for an entire season with the status quo anti. This is not only going to ruin war for them, but their higher spending alliance-mates are going to have a choice of taking a greater burden in war or both sets of players moving on.

    This is a move that is going to cripple a community, let alone individual alliances.

    Just change it back while you’re at the drawing board then all that’s happened is a load of hot air.

    @Kabam Miike respectfully, about a week ago you brought the communities concerned about the loyalty cost and amount of war potions one could buy per week to the developmentteam. Also, you seemed to be "onboard" with those concerns. After the amount of time which has transpired it would be great to have some sort of idea about was has been proposed by the development team.

    how many really believe the top heavy alliances will stop playing? i highly doubt it and that's where unfortunately a lot of this is based on. the top heavy alliances that spend. and i don't think this (just like many ridiculous changes before) will stop them from playing war. nothing will stop them .. i remember when war was LEGIT the worst mode in the game and yet they continued to play.

    Too bad everyone won't just boycott potions all together. If we did that there would be no real money cost to war and completely level the playing field and make it a much more competitive game mode where you had to accept you were going to take deaths and there wouldn't be a reason to avoid competing. Just ban items in war for everyone..

    1 star defender wars.
    lol i'd love to see that

    So I'm in a masters alliance at the moment we have 65m rating, 13.25k prestige. GT40 who won the whole thing are only 75m and just over 14k prestige - that's just a reflection that most of them have finished Act 7. At least half of the current masters bracket and probably P1 are not filled with whales. The whales for the most part are in P3 alliances chasing prestige, not war. Now a couple of them might make the commitment to push AW but unless there's a mass exodus from their alliances they've got a few seasons of work to get into T1 and frankly a lot of them aren't good enough.
    This'll just flat out kill AW because I doubt that these players are going to be willing to drop the 800-1k units/war that they'll need to compete in a T1 war. If you opened the bank of Kabam to someone from GT40 now with these changes then yeah, they'd be OK because they're very good in game which is what matters in war.

    Any chance for an update soon on the potion plan?. Hard to build up my stash in the off-season while being kept in the dark. Several guys in my alliance are looking at dropping to a lower tier depending on how this works out.
  • pseudosanepseudosane Posts: 3,499 Guardian
    yeah what are they doing siting on this a week? they broke it, and cant come up with a solution in a timely manner? Atleast give us communication here whether they are changing in time for season or not.

    How you gonna do map 6 changes and still require 10 players to 100%? You could’ve literally removed one encounter from phase 3 and made it so an alliance of 9 could 100%. Recruiting is getting harder as people drift into casual gameplay or quit altogether. A group of 27 should be able to go 9-9-9 and 100% map 6 in a world where map 8 exists.

    Edit: @Kabam Miike said map 6 section 3 was unchanged. The picture looks like they reduced it from 10 lanes to 8. This was the single most important thing that could’ve upgraded map 6 life. If they dropped to 8 lanes, A-plus job. If they left phase 3 at 10 paths, no. I don’t know what to think.

    What on earth am I supposed to do with a bunch of resources of use in alliance war now that the season is over? And what about those of us who don't participate in war? Is the absolute bottom-level performance (at times) of this game not of interest to those of us? The attempt to reimburse the players who have dedicated themselves to this casino-style game is really an insult when it is of use only to war combatants.

    They arent fixing it. They just added the mid season update for Alliance quest and included the same potion design in the notes. This company is the most fraudulent company out there. Absolute joke

    I don't think you know what fraud means :tongue:

    I also made sure to include a note that we're still working on this in there. We should have some more news by the end of the week!
    How about us having to actually buy these potions, we have only 5 days to prep for the next season?

    My two cents: if I ever have to spend units on AW it pisses me off. Makes me want to stop playing the mode all together. And I enjoy spending money on the game in other areas.

    You need to put AW pots back in the glory store.

    I'll look forward to this update then. Speaking on behalf of the low spending, high tier war community please make it worth the wait, after all we expected a buff to potions not an enormous nerf which is what the current state is. I dare say you're sick of seeing my name on the this post but that's because this is the only game mode that I truly care about: all of my activity revolves around helping my alliance in AW and I really don't want that to devolve into 2 hours of arena every day.
